Can Link build vehicles in Tears of the Kingdom? - Trailer Analysis 

🤣

Lol

well i guess he needs to get funding for his evil conquest somehow, though i feel like insuring vehicles made of scavenged parts and glue probably isn't the best business venture

🤣🤣

Ganondorf.....wonder

Reminds me of scrap mechanics.

or just the popularity of games like minecraft 🙄

Also balloons to get to Vah Medoh. They saw player creativity and thought, "How do we make that a mechanic? Make Link a mechanic."

I truly believe you're right about this

@@Paperbutton9 Nah. The Zelda team literally watched videos about these creative contraptions, we know that for a fact thanks to interviews. These vehicles were clearly inspired by players :rude eye roll emoji:

I imagine Zelda being like link what the hell are you doing first you take your time saving the divine beasts then you go get a freaking bike build a town buy a house then come and save me! Now your wasting your time making a go kart?

@@kumi_the_shark Deja vu! I've just been in this time before (higher on the beat) And I know it's a place to go Calling you And the search is a mystery (standing on my feet) It's so hard when I try to be me, yeah!

I was hoping we get Gabon as playable character, a bad guy who is fed up with Link and Zelda.

videogame logic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (maybe Zelda will be his mechanic, lol... brings back memoris of Jak & Daxter, and Jak's mechanic girlfriend Keira... I know, how dare I speak about playstation game on a nintendo channel) :P

HYAAT

Ba dum tss haha

A Link to the Car

The Twilight Race

Boo, you. Get a like.

TotK video titles in 2025: "I recreated the New York City Subway in Tears of the Kingdom"

IDK about Death Star, but I wouldn't rule out a Spirit Fingers Megazord, of some kind! Also, I'm not going to stop calling Link's prosthetic hand "Spirit Fingers". Heh.

I'm looking forward to "Can you beat TotK with only a unicycle?" XD

@@theoaremevano3227 maybe not a unicycle but absolutely something close to a Segway

@@badladyami Potential Thumbnail name: "I made a Megazord/Gundam/Transformer, etc... in TotK!!!"

I keep forgetting there are multiple games where Link is a blacksmith’s son

What games? The only game that comes to mind is Minish Cap and thats Link's grandfather who's a Blacksmith.

@@derrickdaniels3955link between worlds

@@derrickdaniels3955 there's spirit tracks where he's an engineer, then Link Between Time and Between Worlds were he's a blacksmith apprentice. idk if there are any more different Links

@ptd ahhh yeah i know A Link Between Worlds is like a sequel remake so I thought they shared that naming convention my b

Same 😬

Ehh, Hyrule survived Link aimlessly shield surfing down mountains like a moron before, it'll survive Link aimlessly crashing cars like a moron now.

Hey now. We spent 100 years in a coma and immediately had to go save Zelda. We deserve some fun!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣same

🤣🤣🤣🤣

When you said engineer, I am now picturing Link managing an automated sentry gun

so true!

He just reads the forums and comments of other people

There are countless people telling him these things.

I really hope they let the player go crazy so we can have absolutely insane builds lmao

like... what's it called... ah, yeah: _workshop_

Could be a stretch but maybe the pole looks like how that broom looking rune icon looks when it doesn’t have a handle or weapon on the end? Link summons it with the crafting rune and then uses it to create things

yeah, the dominion rod was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that hand cannon.

That's a good theory

wow good point

The floor is lava: TotK Edition.

@@ladyfarona1988 Wait what if you used propellers to make a hovercraft for a boat???

@@AyuuhC130 That would be awesome!

it better not end at vehicles and weapons (I mean: houses, other machines - like a malice pump for example, you know, to clean up the gunk and stuff) edit: and boats! (well, that's a kind of a vehicle, I guess)

hi... im just here to let you know you should start a business with physic clairvoyance like that.

@@Dewelwield1010 Lol a little intuition goes a long way, huh?

Yeah that's what I thought. It doesn't seem like cargo because it's glued to the vehicle. Feels like if it were cargo it would just be placed there without the glue. :)

But again, it doesnt make much sense to build cars. I'm assuming there will be a fair amount of quests involving transport ala death stranding

@@tsogobauggi8721well the glue would probably hold the cargo in place; last thing you want is for a quest item to get launched half way across the map because the game’s physics engine glitched when Link drove over a bump in the ground. 😉

Small detail, but it looks like you get some of the “goop” around the neck of hinox in the new trailer

This goop could be some form of the liquid constructs we see in BOTW. We have Malice, the blue substance that makes Sheikah tech and now this. I have called the Sheikah tech substance Benevolence and the green goop Resilience. Malice, Benevolence and Resilience.

@ptd then there's the Antikythera mechanism an ancient analogue computer used to calculate highly complex movements of the planets. It's existence suggests that if ancient Greece had discovered electric or steam motors they would have made the Alan Turing machine a few thousand years early! This also suggests that other cultures who were able to calculate immensely complex movements of the celestial objects probably had similar devices.

@ptd but the statues are a different matter, people can do that today too, it's through studying anatomy and very fine techniques and tools even though they are still really simple to make. The only reason that was "lost" was because Catholics believe that the mortal body is sinful. That's why people in all Christian art look like they were drawn by toddlers.

I think the same!

Makes sense, but I think that maybe the vials are that source of energy we see in the car. Perhaps they can change their size to make it easier for Link to carry them.

That also makes sense. good idea!

It’s actually Zonai Meth

@@g3bab bro wtf

I will definitely try it out. But I don't know if I want to do that all the time. I hope there are other ways to go through Hyrule without always using a machine. I can see why Nintendo brought in these ideas. After all, you have seen a lot of players on RU-vid who have exploited the game mechanics for this. But for someone like me who prefers to paraglide, climb, run and ride around on horseback. Is that more of a nope. But I'm happy for the players who are looking forward to it. Unfortunately, that's not for me. But that's just my personal opinion. I hardly used the master cycle zero either. I don't think too much technology in Zelda is cool. But of course I'll try anyway. Maybe I'm having more fun than I think. Let's see. I can still change my mind. But I'm not really looking forward to it. Hopefully you don't have to rely entirely on it.

@@sarahangel3481 Well, wheels have existed for thousands of years, so rather than high technology you could also think of it as magic wagons or chariots.

@@user-if4nx2jn8r You're right.😊 Of course, wheels have been around for as long as you can remember. And of course it makes it easier to think of them not as technology but as magic-powered vehicles. The Shika technology also uses magic. And there has always been something technological in the Zelda universe. So far I haven't had any problems with it. But this time it feels like I have a very tasty pizza in front of me and then suddenly a big fat spider walks over it. I don't know how else to describe it. I'm really split.😅 Shikateck still worked but this one. I don't know how to feel about this. In the first trailers, which of course were from the game in the initial development period. Seeing beautiful golden islands with ruins and nature also some robots and dragons. And then you can see Highteck that you can build yourself. The difference is like day and night for me. I think my problem is unfortunately that I like fantasy too much and would have liked it better if it had looked more natural. Like this Stone Glider on that link was on it in the old trailer. But like I said, I'll try it anyway and see if it's a lot more fun than I think it is now. Don't say you don't like something unless you have a specific reason or haven't even tried it. I also don't want to talk the matter madly to anyone. I have to figure out how to deal with it myself. Most players in BOTW loved to push the mechanics. I find it fascinating too, but I hardly ever used it. Man I've traveled all over Hyrule almost without using fast travel. I only used them for certain quests or when I didn't feel like riding the horse at all. Otherwise I think everything in the trailer is very cool. I love that TOTK is so dark. I'm sure there are a few players who might not like it, but I do. I'll see if I enjoy it or not. Just for the gritty story and gritty atmosphere alone, I'll enjoy it. And hopefully the rest will fall into place soon. Just feeling a bit paralyzed after the crafting system and don't know what to think of it yet. I don't hate it. Will be interesting. But that will certainly not be easy. Well I'll see. Thanks for your comment. And sorry for the long answer. Unfortunately I write a lot. Especially so that there are no misunderstandings. 💙

@@sarahangel3481 Well, here's hoping we both love it.

Somehow it will. I don't worry about that, I just need some warm-up time for the crafting system. I don't hate it. It's just a bigger leap to overcome. But at the latest when flying, that will definitely be different. And you can ride if you want. You can see Link riding Epona. I would be really stupid not to play TOTK just because I might not like the crafting system. If only because we had to wait so long for TOTK. This is sure to be a gigantic and epic adventure with plenty of things to do. It will definitely not be boring. I'm still really looking forward to it. The most important thing is that we all have a lot of fun at the end. No matter what form. I just hope that the story and the world are not neglected. Not that Nintendo put most of their time into the crafting system. But that's hard to imagine. I'm definitely very hyped. Whether with or without stumbling blocks. I'd better leave you alone now. Not everyone likes to read that much. I wish you a nice time. It's 5 a.m. for me. I'm from Germany and I don't know what time it is with you right now.

Yea cars and motorcycles have always been a natural evolution of Zelda

@@fortyozsteak someone’s grumpy. It’s alright my man everything will be okay

You forget that epona in OoT was a very prominent and important aspect to the game. That was the game that started link always having a vehicle.

@@calvinbaxter7151 says the 10 year old who needs to ask his mommy for permission to use RU-vid

@@fortyozsteak oops, all salt

DKC2 style, but in 3D!

I was thinking maybe the korok leaf can push it in the right direction, like with the boats in botw

@@Anopano3000 You're right! That would be a bit of a bummer for me, but that makes too much sense for it to not go that way.

I could see that being the default way they would control, while players could later bypass this by adding fans or other boosters to control movement directly.

@@theoaremevano3227 yeah! I can absolutely imagine being able to stick the flying machine's propeller to a hot air balloon to give a bit more control/boost. especially if the theory about making vehicles to move cargo turns out to be true, like bringing a large item to the top of a mountain or something

Imagine that even if there isn't co-op/pvp in the game it could be modded in Imagine a flying tank vs an air ship

@@latel4544 That would be rad.

@@SirPonnd can't wait to see all the crazy stuff people come up with Maybe if you can craft weapons, people will make mobs allowing you to make even more detailed ones

​@La Tel we now also have war wheels. The fun never ends.

A yellow submarine?

oooo would love that. green goop houses

Edit: Car, not cat 😂

I had the same thought!

yes!! thank you I noticed this immediately and have been looking for anyone else saying the same thing. it definitely seems like beyond monster parts, the horns of defeated enemies will be used to craft new blades, potentially as one way to make the weapon degradation system a little less cumbersome

Well, Link has the paraglider so he will be fine. :)

Sounds like a game I don’t want to play

I hope you are incorrect.

@@fortyozsteak and no one if forcing you do to so lol easy fix.

@@varden506 🤡

@@varden506 go play nuts and bolts if you want to hunt around for tires and headlights to build your sick car

Nuts & bolts is underrated.

Ganon: * rains death on Hyrule from his blood moon* Link: Hold my Lon Lon milk.

i am goin to build a fking tank

Just walk away and leave hyrule. Gannondorf just walk away Just walk away...

WITNESS ME! HYAAAHHHHH!

Dont forget the green tear powerup where links goes through a sky island from the bottom, indicating he might have flown up there with the powerup? Also the reversing of time with the falling rocks. I think there will be a lot of different ways to travel the sky.

Yeah, I was wondering how link was going to get up and down from the sky islands and when I saw the trailer I was like ohhhh that makes sense

I imagine this might be in some side missions but it will be easier to tp

Dont underestimate nintendo making games accessible to all. Ninty game are family orientated games so they make them that young children can play. I doubt very much crafting will ever be forced on a player in order to progress. Just like crafting in botW is completely optional.

@@Stinkyremy not forced per say but necessary if you want to potentially 100% the game if it's not story based...

Skyward Sword took 5 years. BOTW took 5 1/2 years. I think 6 years will be standard in the HD era.

I had a similar thought, especially with Link moving around entire floating bits in this trailer, and some of the islands having weird shapes made of straight lines. Maybe there is a unified island to be made, like a puzzle, and the main mission is to build it piece by piece.

Yeah maybe we can use the same parts to make weapons or vehicles

Nice pun

Was the “brake” intentional or no? 😂

brake

I think the vehicle building is gonna be pretty in depth but I'm not too sure about anything else.

Knowing Nintendo it's probably the latter unfortunately.

Well we have already explored the whole map, we need some reason to look around again.

Agreed this is LAME AF… no one wants Zelda Nuts and Bolts 🤢

I mean, the game is obviously made with this new mechanic in mind, so it'll be balanced for it

horses are probably faster. but with the cars, you can carry things a horse can't. also they're cooler

@@yn8789 More convenient? Yes. Cooler? Eh... But that's just me. Kinda seems like a Fortnite-y gimmick to me, but I guess I just gotta play it.

@@ArceusDX I trust Nintendo to make a balanced and fluid game that plays well and is fun

Can your horse fly? The game's based around flying islands, not much reason for a horse.

What do you mean? Building vehicles has never ruined a classic video game franchise before. 😂

Building vehicles give us more creativity and freedom, I hope we actually do get to make random vehicles according to your imagination

I can't wait for Link to do a drive-by to some bokoblin camp... ;)

And who decides what's un-Zelda like? You?
