Tears of the Kingdom's CUT CONTENT - The 2019 Teaser 

First

Awesome video

Gaaf!

I hope she's doing OK after the recent health scare 😊

@@farideh4698 Thanks! Yeah she's doing well now ^^

They knew we would jump off the bridge and wander off to the depths of those caves until we couldn't progress anymore lol

I think the bridge is still there but I think it’s unreachable until you head to Ganon at the end of the game. I believe it’s where the gloom hands are beneath Hyrule Castle but the bridge collapsed

@@jmacosta excuses.. but I laughed

I feel like it was the original intent. We'd go through the whole thing as an intro and then revisit at the end game for the descent into Gloom's Lair.

@@ZiggyMandarr That would've been such a cool twist ending. I loved a lot of ToTK, but the story was just straight up annoying and stupid at times. Nintendo team shouldve made it more serious like Twilight Princess. Not making it linear or closing anything off, but just by changing it would've made so many fans happy. I can't help but feel like ToTK will fall behind BoTW in the future. It reall should've been a DLC.

Didn't realize the rat was secretly a murderer. :O

Ikr like that mouse

Ratty McRatFace 😭

Damn mouse taking my popularity!

THERES A RAT IN MI KITCHEN

the judges also would have accepted “i’m the giant rat who makes all the rules”

I'd imagine most people on the team want to move on The game is huge enough on its own anyway

Hyrule Warriors: The Imprisoning War. Bet.

@@JaidynReiman Honestly I feel like we might not get one. Nintendo are werid like that

Same dude, I need dlc!!

@@JaidynReiman I’d totally be down for that. I’ve even drafted some of my own ideas for it. Playable characters: Link Zelda Tulin Yunobo Sidon Riju Mineru Rauru Sonia Paya Hestu Kass Teba Yona Wind Sage Medoh Fire Sage Rudania Water Sage Ruta Lightning Sage Naboris Ganondorf Koume & Kotake/Twinrova Master Kohga An evil Rito An evil Goron An evil Zora An evil Gerudo separate from Twinrova Story structure: Just like Tears of the Kingdom, the game’s story is separated into two halves. In the past, battles of the Imprisoning War are narrated by Zelda. In the present, Link, Zelda, and the Sages fight to finally put an end to the Yiga Clan’s criminal activities, find Kass, and protect Hyrule from followers of Ganondorf who were beloved to have perished during the Imprisoning War. Stages: All main settlements during the era of Hyrule’s founding (Past) The Great Plateau (Past) All main settlements after the Upheaval (Present) Gloom’s Approach->The Imprisoning Chamber (Past) Thyphlo Ruins (Present) Great Sky Island (Present) The Depths (Present) Lurelin Village (Present) Elevated Hyrule Castle (Present) Satori Mountain (Present) Lake Hylia (Present) The Yiga Clan Hideout (Present) Zonai Ruins (Present)

So clumsy and reckless smh

Well, Ganondorf wasn't at full power, which is why he allowed himself to fall.

Bro bust his nuts 😂

Ganondorf had a paraglider

Agreed

I wonder what ever happened to that horse. Boy it would be cool of they made a DLC to answer questions like that

I sure do wish I could fuse it's horn to a sword

He's just hanging around Faron now xD

Yeah! I feel like the 2nd teaser is just different enough from the finished game to do recreation as well. Later trailers only have very minute differences, so those aren't really eligable for a "remake".

@@MonsterMaze The only sad part about the second teaser is that we see some sky island near Thundra Plateau that are simply removed from the final game. Also the designs of the sky islands seemed to me less man made and more natural.

Zeltik actually did this in one of his story explained videos

''So many''? There's about,, 3. Or 6 if I'm really stretching. And those are simply things like better-looking DonDons or slight shifts in Tapestry details. Cosmetics. What We really needed was a Dungeon where We travel back to the past to see the Zonai. Or if that's too plot breaking: at least a present site in the Sky where We can see another Zonai based Dungeon with much better preserved relics.

Thanks Geist! Max sure is the man ^^

huge thanks for being a part of making this happen, geist!

Not being able to pet the dogs is the biggest crime in Zelda history!

@@MonsterMazeAs well as a lack of cats, only in Mario & Xenoblade we see Nintendo have some respects towards them.

​@@sollato0293 personally I wish we had cats. They are the best pets in my opinion.

I'm not trying to be mean, but I kinda felt like the rat scene ruined the whole thing...

Same! >:(

I feel more or less the same way.

ye their expectation management was horrible

Tbh I feel the same way about BotW. The final trailer for that game is sooo much more exciting than anything in that game. I love both games more than most other games in general, but the trailers definitely showcase a different vibe from the actual game.

@alliesangalli1757 That last trailer fooled everyone into thinking the game was going to be a much different experience. Coming to terms with this, I learned to love BOTW and it became one of my top favorites ever. I feel like they should've given us a new map for TOTK. A smaller one with a more focused design and better suited to the new abilities, and story as well. They could've released a new 2D Zelda in the meantime. I just think too much was reused.

I feel that theres more actual mystery and things to get your mind racing with the original teaser, and sure thats probably because it was literally the only thing we had to go off of, compared to the final game where a lot of the theorizing has to do with trying to make sense of conflicting and maybe even somewhat thoughtless elements and how they connect to existing lore/worldbuilding

That would've been godlike, hahah

TerminalMontage made an entire rest of the video to go along with!

@@orngjce223 yeah i know and someone did a whole animation too

Thanks a bunch Pixo, that means a lot to hear!

Thanks a bunch David!

OG viewer in the house!

Same! I've probably watched every single video and been subbed since that one

I remember Aonuma saying he wanted TOTK to be darker, like Majoras Mask and Twilight Princess. He specifically used those two games as examples. We did not get that at all.

​@@pancakes8670 When did he say that? The actual source. As far as I know was that he said the first teaser was darker, that's it.

It's insane! Also, remember when we thought the game would release around 2020/2021? How wrong we were xD

Exactly! 👍👍💯 I mean, of course I wanted more - like another Zonai based Dungeon in the Sky and another maybe in the Lanrayu Promenade. At least Maze is constructive amid the usual boring ''oVeraTed'' and nitpicky trash videos out there lol. I _loved_ TOTK, for me it makes Breath irrelevant. It's Tears' own League that it falls short by the standards set by itself!

Thanks so much Max! Your freecam will make producing TotK content so much more fun!

@@MonsterMaze ah man wait til you see the new features 👀, glad you're enjoying it! :)

@@maxlastbreath I got a small preview from Geist here and there. The time/weather control feature looks amazing! If you'd like some extra pointers, you can contact me on Discord. I've been playing around with it enough to have a clear picture of it's inner workings ^^

@@MonsterMaze fair enough! I'll dm you in discord soon :)

I wish that was the only time Link is clueless and others around him too. Hestu? We meet Hestu and he's surprised we can see him, like BotW never happened... If you, like me, have discovered the memories (out of order and spoiled myself, but ok) and Link finds out alongside you, that Zelda is a dragon and Ganondorf used Zelda's image as an illusion, then Link should not stay silent and be surprised when fake Zelda roams around, why doe she not tell anyone? Compared to all that the Dondon thing seems like the least kind of problem xD

That teaser is burned into my memory at this point, haha ^^

That's great to hear! Thank you ^^

I remember when people got so desperate for info that they started breaking down the trailer like it was a fnaf game. People would reverse the weird audio and bullshit that it was saying “help us” or something, or try to translate the zonai symbols using the gerudo script, etc. In reality, I think its always been clear that there was never any hidden meaning to the trailers, but at the time it was fun to pretend like there was. That it was some big mystery we were supposed to figure out that would give us clues to the story (a story that probably barely even existed at the time)

Ratty MacRatface's new moment was glorious!!

You might be onto something there!

Exactly!

or maybe the secret stone looked literally like stones (so circular like that jewel on cgi ganondorf). From what they said through interview, the gameplay is always the first thing they make regarding a game, then comes the scenario once they have a solid base. Thought maybe this time they drafted some ideas like zonai, secret stones, time travel, dragon (btw it's quite strange how similar the scenario seems to be compared to the wano arc in one piece)

Back to the good 'ol times

Thanks Kenchi, happy holidays to you too! 🎄

They definitely do in Relics of the Past. And their new music definitely reflects their now relentless nature.

The teaser is eternal... all hail the 2019 teaser

Happy New Year in advance ^^

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who cared about that. Something just felt... off about this new Zonai style.

Luckily, Second Wind adds them to BOTW.

The game is a bit more stingy on lore compared to BotW unfortunately. Which is in part due to the fact that it's the same map. And the Sky Islands and Depths sadly don't have a whole lot of environmental storytelling. This is a much more gameplay-focussed experience. I think that's the main reason why there haven't been as many theory videos on TotK compared to BotW.

@@MonsterMaze oh that makes sense, hopefully they'll ask monolith soft for a new map for the next game lol

It deserved the spotlight
