I Played Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Hands-On Preview) 

Woooo YT

No way he gets a preview from Nintendo and RU-vid comments on his video…Zeltik, you are truly a legend among men.

dang youtube commented on Zeltik's other totk videos, you truly are a legend

@RU-vid give Dan his 20m play button

youtube WTF BRO

They only did it cause it’s BOTW dlc

@@bdbdkdfotbrveiw And you're just dlc from your parents. So, whats the point?

@@bdbdkdfotbrveiw Have you even watched this video to comment something like this?..

@@bdbdkdfotbrveiw seems like you dont know what a dlc is

@@bdbdkdfotbrveiw my guy hasn't seen anything after the first trailer

👍

Great

website is good

👍

It makes sense though! If the ice chu jelly and the sapphire both create ice arrows, maybe the rarity of the item plays into its strength? I’d be excited to learn if there’s even stronger variants of the elemental arrows beyond this

​@@emmamccartan9277 maybe using elemental dragon parts would be the third tier of strength

​​@@highcaliber350 nah that would be TOO op, but would be cool

@@-Shinro- It makes, sense tho… Dragon scales are pretty rare.

With low-level armor, that's completely understandable.

Then probably sued the players for stealing the idea

@@andyeah3414 FRRR

Edit: It seems I was wrong, people, stop saying I'm wrong, I discovered that from the first person that told that, not from the 5 people XD. In a recent trailer I saw Link riding a hose while spinning a spear... If I'm not wrong this is a know glitch on BotW (that give huge amount of damage against enemys) that they seem to have added as a actual mechanic of horse battle!

​@@jairgsjunior you're wrong, you can just twirl the spear in botw by holding Y while on horse back. The core gameplay aside from the hand abilities are exactly the same

@@jairgsjunior it was always in the game but no one bothered to fight with spears

Much better than some ign journo

Nice

I know, it gives me a nice headsup and tutorial of how to use links abilities.

ok

ok

@@antony1012 I got me some adhd the building had me worried this gave me a bit of context or I'd be overwhelmed too.

@@Jmcdion I've not got adhd but I was still getting a little and overwhelmed about using links New abilities 😅

Exactly. Other people are trying to understand the controls and fumbling around. Zeltik immediately tries whistle sprinting. 😂👍🏻

That is an unhealthy level of dedication

​@@charlesfinger6812People take days from work for vacations, how is taking off a day or two for something you're really excited for any different? This is something we've been waiting 5-6 years for

I understand completely I’ve already taken 2 days off for release lmao

​@@charlesfinger6812 guess you dont know the concept of a vacation leave. Its normal for people who work long hours and just want to chill. Lmao

I've done the same, and my college semester ends right before release, too!

You ever have that thing where you 199 likes and want to change it to 200

1 week Nintendo is letting you get early gameplay the next week you're getting assassinated by Nintendo life's good

@@nugget9458 Ofcourse they want to save face when they had ppl like moistcritikal and others talking about how bad they are. They needed something to help their bad rep from creators so they did this.

Fr

@AKIRAASMR300 you didn't need these people to tell you how bad they are just look what Nintendo does to its community Nintendo destroys its community

My god shut up 😂

Yeah, it feels like a much longer gameplay demonstration

I’m sad I want story spoilers. (Zelink lol)

Thank you for the comment

He really is the goat I was like you but I'm glad I clicked play.

ok

Looks the exact same as botw with new mechanics, aka dlc

@@Spacecowboyy69 ok kid, see you nevermore

@@Xf3rnaPlays worst comeback ive ever heard, im probably older than you as well kid

@@Spacecowboyy69 are we really gonna argue because we have different opinions? Also, the fact you think of a reply as a comeback makes you even more childish than the real guy you probably are

He stated that he was playing from set save files they gave him. He started from an unknowably advanced state in the game.

@Padrou i salute you both 🫡

Respect on you both OGs! Glad to have you with us on this journey.

@@cheese6782and either way, it looks like there will be many more ways to fight this time with the fusing ability.

​@@cheese6782 Nintendo has already confirmed the old runes are in the tsme

I will see your acorn arrow hype and raise you by one meat arrow.

all hail the acorn arrow

@@Matthew10950 The sound design could make that a squelchy masterpiece!

@@Wordfishtrombone I'm going to try and arrow feed a dragon.

Lemme hit you with a guts arrow

Good catch

He definitely deserves it.

There's one island that's like a stacked tower. That's a perfect candidate for it

If Ascend is not one of the main abilities used for dungeon exploration in this game, I'm gonna hate it over a huge lost opportunity. Ascend is my favourite ability so far because it alone legitimizes the reuse of the old map, if done correctly.

@@ELMQ ok

​@@itsbort"ok" 🤡

​@@TheDivineShiver ok

Aw man I’m sorry you get judged. BOTW literally saved my life, so never feel sorry for loving it. Zelda is an incredible game series!

don't worry, those other people probably don't get hyped for any games at all

Hey man, I’m an obsessed high schooler too! Don’t let those judgers get to you! You’re awesome!

Don't let the judging get to you. Not worth it. I'm hyped too. Take care.

I'm an obsession high schooler too. Never let people get you down about what you're passionate about!

Alex from NintendoLife killed himself with a Topaz arrow in this same encounter!🤣

I'm so glad the nonsense BOTW deaths have returned in TOTK 🤣

@@blackroomrob4205 Ah yes, the best new feature. THOUSANDS OF BRAND NEW COMICAL WAYS TO DIE!

@@sherochafernando6346 DUMB WAYS TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's like they saw the videos of people riding the minecarts across the sky and were like "oh you like this?" 😂

@@AmallieGames I'm pretty sure that's exactly what the Zelda team did.

Nah, the last game was wild, this one is kingdom

You bet i'm gonna fuse 10 rockets to a plank and fly myself to the moon.

Almost like a breath of wildness even

Agreed, but that is not a pachinko machine. That's a capsule vending machine like a Gachapon, similar to a gumball machine. I am surprised Zeltik still hasn't corrected this after responses from his earlier videos talking about this machine.

​@Anibal Fermaint Gonzalez omg ty. This has been killing me

S*x

Hello? RU-vid says that there’s 1 replies but I don’t see any :edit I do now!

@@Monkwanthugs I can only see your reply haha

I'm thinking it let's you save blueprints.

I bet it's probably called something like "Multihand"

​@@Matthew10950 you're right, someone on the ign video was able to read it

I thought it would be something from the ability to Recruit Allies, but it would be very rare that it was an ability and not just an option

Could be an online blueprint sharing feature maybe?

12:50?

​@@littlefox_100 yes it is

I agree

100%!! This is my fave Zelda focused RU-vid channel

He truly is

Bro I’ve been watching him for 7 years I was 13 when I first started going into the lore of Zelda before this channel I just played the games without knowing the lore Zeltik a goat

​@@ExoticEio Lmfao. How do you play a bunch of games and not get anything from the lore provided on the surface? Even with just that, there's a lot to Zelda. I'm glad someone like Zeltik can do that for you. But it blows my mind that people don't pay attention to the video games they play. Or anything for that matter.

I didn't see a camera icon, so it's probably after getting the new sheika slate. Camera or something similar maybe, unless it has a dedicated button to it which I doubt.

​@@xShadowbane451 there's an ability named map with the minimap icon, if we can't access the map with - button perhaps it might go there

It’s a surprise tool that will help us later.

Maybe the ability to call Allies?

They could even potentially expand the ring to more than 8 slots later, like some games do to make it a surprise when you get more abilities / key items after thinking you found everything important already.

And this is what we got after 6 years, a fusing mechanic, devs said this started as dlc and it shows

@@Spacecowboyy69 Majora's mask was released using the same engine as OOT, same link with a "mask mechanic". Would you consider it DLC?

@@lewangg it was an entirely different game with new mechanics that stayed true to the zelda formula, this is literally botw nuts and bolts edition

​@@Spacecowboyy69 somebody's mad😂

@@dommmmmmmelton nope just disapointed that this is what we waited 6 years for, botw 2.0 nuts and bolts edition

hes not the only channel that got an invite,commonwealth realm all so got an invite

I remember when this channel was so small.

Right?? So many possibilities! I can't wait

10:00 Map of the Sky.

My theory on them from what we've seen is that they were essentially a third counterpart to the sheikah and yiga who worshipped the spirit of courage instead of the avatar of wisdom or power (the blood of the goddess and the descendants of the demon tribe curse). The Sheikah used blue magic and technology primarily, and the yiga used red, representing hylia who the sheikah worshipped and demise who the yiga worshipped. The Zonai all seem to have a greeen aesthetic, which is the color of Farore, the goddess of courage, and the color associated with the spirit of the hero. Last game had a great emphasis on the sheikah and blue, with link and zelda's traditional canonical outfits being replaced with the blue garb, and the primary crux of the story in the memories being about Zelda awakening her goddess powers while Link's aptitude seemed to come naturally, and now we're getting much more emphasis on Link, with a palette shift to match

@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 Makes a ton of sense, had similar ideas as well. The good ol' war crime committing royal family probably banished them for not fully aligning with them, and maybe some of them found a way past the cloud barrier and began developing advanced tech.

@@nobuwashere That's a great point. From what we've seen from TotK, the "warlike" and "savage" title doesn't make any sense from the previous game. It seems like it was given to them rather than actually describing who they are. The only other reason I could think of is that half of them ended up past the cloud barrier somehow (and developed advanced tech), while the others remained on the ground, and was in fact more "savage." Other explanation is they all did start off on the ground and were not technologically skilled, and then something happened sealing them all in the sky (maybe the fight against ganondorf in the ancient past?). After this happened, they found ancient tech in the sky islands, and overhauled their culture, learning how to creating hyper advanced tools.

Are you guys gonna make an analysis on Zeltik demo?! 🤔

Lol

I thought special means when somebody is mentally or physically disabled.

@@gregoryford2532 I agree. I guess it's really up to us how much we do or don't want to use the ability. The games going to be amazing and I'm looking forward to every minute of it. Thanks for the comment.

I mean, in the item menu it does show a “Star” symbol so maybe that’ll be your favorites tab?

@@enzodemetry5335 that is the special items (as in botw)

Pause and Fuse: The Game. May as well have been a turn-based RPG. 🙄

@@thewardenofoz3324 imagine Zelda being a turned based rpg 💀. But FR tho thats not a good idea bro 🗿

@@dineumerlian584 neither were shrines or weapons made of paper. But, eh, you're as thick as your emoji if you don't realize that I'm saying the fusion system is an equally bad idea.

How does a _flamethrower_ and a _rocket_ look like "magical" items?

@@thewardenofoz3324 the flamethrower is a stone dragons head. seems pretty magical id say

@@ryangale8745 yeah no

@@thewardenofoz3324 Fun Fact: Gunpowder, Rockets & Guns were invented by a Chinese Wizard.

@@tetravega567 fun fact. He wasn't actually a wizard. Now go LARP me some more history, bruh.

And he teased us twice and didn't fuse the arrow with the meat 😭

The of bow light really

I was so salty when he didn’t show us that. It better be a good one that he couldn’t show us.

@@A_Hylian_Not_An_Elf It's a bait arrow. You can see it in somebody else's demo, but I dont remember who

Pop in and fps drops ahoy!

Important to remember to that this game was fully built for the switch. BOTW was made for WiiU and then ported for Switch. Not to say that none of that stuff will happen, but I don’t think it will be worse then anything BOTW had.

Framerate drops are from Nintendo B-Roll footage. Game is very stable framerate wise

Was noticing the framedrops as well, but it could just be Zeltik's video compression / capture method.

@@linkkirby6533I hope not 😭

BotW had frame rate drops during high action sequences too. I still hate fighting the Lynel in the colosseum because the flame blade during a flurry rush makes the game slow down to less than 10fps

I watched a video from gamexplain and de FPS are more fluid, maybe was the record who drops the frame

@@Nintendofan91 facts it was pretty bad. Im a little bit more optimistic on TOTK simply bc the wii u isn’t in the picture anymore. I tend to forget BOTW was a wii u game first that was ported to switch. I’m not super picky about graphics but them frames are important.

Same! Im hoping for some idiot proof ways to build things when they’re necessary, I’m not super amped about it like most seem to be

@@AnaPie896 Yep, it's the fact that it seems so necessary for gameplay that I'm a little bummed about. Fingers crossed Nintendo provides some different avenues such as time shifting to reach the sky islands. Because I imagine I'll get very bored building legos eventually. But we'll see!

Same! Tears of the Kingdom honestly hasn't impressed me yet. Nothing is said about locations or dungeons or puzzles or actual interaction with the world. It's all these gimmicks being blown up.

@@Thirteen13551355 BotW trailers before release mostly showcased similar gameplay mechanics (how items are dropped by enemies, how you can cut trees, use paraglider above firecamps to get elevation, shock arrows on water for greater effects, etc.) or very generic travel sessions to show how big the world was, and very few story elements just enough to give you an idea. We already saw glimpses of new puzzles : the rotating sky island, assembling vehicles to get across water bodies or broken train tracks, etc. Most of the iconic BotW places have been altered to some extend, which is not enough to make a full game out of it, but we didn't see a lot of the sky islands, only the main tutorial islands and glimpses of what seem to be sky dungeons or at least big shrine-like "mini-dungeons" (the big tornado, the floating water bubbles islands...). And Nintendo has shown almost nothing about the underground, I think there is less than 20s of footage of underground in all gameplay showcases. There will surely be dungeons there, and I suspect big areas to explore too. I think there will be more interactions with the world than in BotW. They teased some kind of escort mission, companions fighting enemies with you, a troop of what seems to be recruitable NPCs with fused weapons (makes me think we recruit them and provide them with weapons, what for I have no idea). And one of the trailers show a group of armed villagers fighting monsters, I don't know if it's a random event similar to what we could encounter in BotW or if there is some kind of faction quest going on where you help inhabitants reclaim some lands. Also we saw a soldier / explorer encampment in ruined Castle town which made many Zelda content creators wonder if it will just be normal location or something you can improve with quests in a similar way to Tarrey Town in BotW. But in the end, we will know if it's "just DLC" or Nintendo actually hid enormous chunks of the game.

@@mythicdawn9574 it’s not “DLC”. It’s a sequel to BOTW.

it's amazing how much the developers are able to utilize the players' intuition rather than explicit tutorials, feels like it will make experimenting with the mechanics a lot more satisfying

@@gabrieljohnson6304 100% Seems like these devs actually play their games AS a player, and not as a dev. And I know they’ve talked about taking periodic time for everyone to just play what they’ve built so far. So they’re not just using a command panel and giving themselves extra items / utilities. They get “make this thing look suspicious / interesting and the player will go there without us telling them to”

IT WAS SO CUUTTEEEE

This is the exact mix of emotions I’m feeling. Like I’m soooooo hyped for this game and I want to inhale every scrap of information out there, but at the same time I want to be surprised and I don’t want to spoil it all for myself before I can even get my hands on it.

Same

I'm glad that I'm not the only one feeling this, lol.

Well said! 👏 Also, is it just me or does the menu/map screen look really cool?

Elden Ring takes the cake over this game. This is nothing more than an expansion. Korok Seeds are back! Wow! Same Hyrule world with floating islands and possibly caves to explore..... They will most likely have Shrines again and super lame dungeons. They are using the same music....which the music was already lacking. Literally the only thing going for this game are new game mechanics to traverse the sky, which these mechanics also assist in combat. The game is literally a physics/Minecraft simulator....I guess that's an upgrade from BotW, which was a rock climbing simulator. Definitely not worth $70! Stop giving Nintendo your money.
