Tears of the Kingdom - Trailer #3 REACTION and DEEP DIVE!! 

If you are excited to watch me stream The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, be sure to follow us at www.twitch.tv/blindwave

Just a reminder that this is human Ganondorfs first appearance since Twilight Princess. It's crazy that we haven't had him for 17 years.

Eric's fanboy reactions are just the best. I love seeing how happy he is just off this trailer.

Eric being alone in the video brings a whole different type of energy

Seeing Riju and Tulin so grown up is so cool. A couple of years have passed since BoTW! Now I'm curious to know what Teba and Yunobo are up to.

Can't wait for the Critical Role episode where the gang gives Matt a hard time voicing Ganon.

@17:55 Couldn't have said it any better! THIS part in the trailer got me so excited. Link is no longer alone. He has brave Hylians behind his back, to lead the battle forward. In the pervious game we saw Hylians fighting off monsters before but this truly feels like Hyrule is reuniting as it's people to take back their land. Huge "TAKE BACK HYRULE." vibes

The second the saxophone kicks in during the trailer makes me ascend every time, it’s unreal! Whoever played that sax deserves a raise!

Gleeok is the 3-headed Dragon that's only ever been in the original Zelda. He was so memorable so it's insane to finally see him again! Great reaction! Enjoy in less than a month!

Eric was so excited he not only turned Red but even turned PURPLE! Hahahahahahaha! I feel the hype like you, Eric. May 12, 2023 will be a magical day not just for us Zelda fans but for gaming altogether.

Aww I loved how your face turned red with excitement after the Ganon reveal, that’s adorable!!

There's so much in this trailer, too much awesomeness, but I'll be honest, fighting side by side with Sidon and possibly the rest of the new Champions is the highlight for me.

The town reconstruction reminds me of Reclaim the Wild. It’s a custom-built tabletop system for running Breath of the Wild (or Zelda in general) roleplay games. It’s pretty frickin’ sweet.

I’ve always watched your reactions to movie trailers but I’m pleasantly surprised with how much lore you know about Zelda. Your commentary, from the soundtracks, to the drawing of maps and dungeons (literally me in middle/high school, inspired by OoT), I can relate to so much. Very excited to watch you stream the game.

I'm excited! Also, Matt Mercer is returning as Ganondorf so that will be awesome

You absolutely bring the hype, dude! I’ve seen other analysis videos, but yours has gotten me the most excited by far. I love seeing other people get excited and nerd out about these games. We’re coming for you, Matt Mercer!!

"Link... you MUST find me." "I will... in a month." ~ My ADHD Link having to go do all the side quests before even thinking of continuing the main story.

This trailer legitimately tears my eyes up. The music all melded into one incredible cacophony and the beats of this trailer just tug at every part of zelda fan. Its like all my zelda experiences as a child culminating in one ferocious climax. Ganondorf made me freak bro, one of the coolest villains ever returns and I can not fuckin wait I have to wonder if ganondorf here was overtaken by the calamity too, and doesn't want to allow it to relinquish his control anymore so maybe he... will work with us now? who cares, even if hes just a straight up villain again, idgaf its increbile to see him.

2:20 poor Darunia, he was so impressed that he fainted... (Also in sync with the percussion on the trailer lol)

Eric is like the prototypical Zelda fan. He's exactly the type of person who would wear a green triforce shirt and cargo shorts

"I'm sorry, I'm easily satisfied" had me rolling😂

31:44 A couple of other things that she could be: one of the three omnipotent goddesses - her color kinda would fit with Din? Maybe they also reincarnated as humans like Hylia and have more limited powers on earth but also can help Link more directly? She could also be a (great) fairy? Maybe she is a younger great fairy than the other ones we've seen in BotW. I think it would be cool if we would get to see a small fairy town/civilization. I mean, they must come from and live somewhere too, right?

I’m the same exact way with music. Soundtracks all day every day. It’s the best fuel for creativity and imagination. Can NOT wait for this game. It looks incredible! … and people said it was gonna basically be a DLC 😑

I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION!

A few things I've gather from watching/picked up from other reactions and breakdowns: The game's main theme is just the reversed sounds from the anounement trailer. The sword Link holds when fighting the Gleeok seems to be made of a shard of Naydra, meaning dragon-fused weapons might be a thing. Sidon, Riju, and Tulin are all wearing respectively colored 'tears' of their people in that one side-by-side fight scene, meanwhile you only see the Goron's Boulder Breaker, while Ganon has a mysteriously Goron-red colored gem imedded in his forehead (meanwhile Zelda has a golden one in all the scenes she's in). Line's up with Mount Doom being covered in malice, perhaps implying that Ganon first took over the Goron region once he was released. That one set of shots showing the floating water, the massive blizzard, and the gigantic cave is obviously linked to the races surrounding Hyrule, and you fight with Sidon on one with a huge water faucet and Trident structure, making me think you'll get to team up with each respective race's current champion at some point. Regardless, this trailer has only solidfied the hype for me, and I'm already dreading the month wait for its release

Nintendo POPPED OFF with the music in this trailer. I want that saxophone version of the Hyrule field theme to be hooked into my veins, holy shit

I love how close you got to Gleeok with your mock name lmao

Levi Ackerman voicing Ganondorf is something I never knew I needed

I've only been watching you guys about a year but already this video gave me nostalgia for back when you guys did reactions with related stuff on the table! Those Doctor Who reactions where the figures would get brought out as surprises were so fun

But the real question is... can we pet the dog :0? and even better... can we get dogs as pets :0?

I was waiting for your reaction!

I love your reaction ❤ so much energy and positivity ❤ and the hype in the back ❤

I was WAITING for your reaction since I saw this trailer. I knew you'd flip too, so nice to share the hype.

Was waiting for this. Excited to see your thoughts.

Trailer was amazing, so beautiful, chills and almost cried. Was hoping for more of you to react to it. Do not apologize for being easily satisfied, that is something positive. Really hope you can dive in water, it missing in BOTW was crazy.

Hey, just wanted to say I really love the editing of this video, and the video style in general.

Waited for your reaction the most!

Watching your reaction was my anticipated wait!

Been waiting for this. Amazing trailer Edit: there were so many classic Zelda melodies in this trailer more than I thought (classic theme, BOTW theme, urbosa’s theme, twilight princess theme at the end right before zelda’s lullaby Im sure im missing a bunch) Theres a video of a musician breaking it down. Its amazingly composed

I have been waiting for this, thank you Eric

35:14 She is at the Temple of Time.

i enjoyed the editing of the beginning of this video very smooth

These totk trailers bring up a couple of questions to me, like what's going on with the yiga clan? There doesn't seem to be any mention of them in these trailers, did we eradicate them all in botw or in between games? somehow I doubt that since given their adept ability for disguises and their own ninja teleportation arts. Also with the underground layer of the map confirmed will that giant pit at their hideout lead somewhere like an underground extension of their hideout or will it just remain as a simple dark pit?

Looking back at this trailer, it showd so much of the new mechanichs and stuff that I really did not grasp at the moment (I am not one to watch trailers frame by frame to try and dechiper everything), it was beautiful watching it again after fuilly experienced the game.

I’m so hyped for this, this trailer just brought everything! And it just so happens to be releasing on my birthday! This is gonna be a great game for sure.

I.... DESPERATELY want that tiny Darunia next to you 😂😂 I love seeing your reactions man, shame none of the other guys are die hard Zelda fans like us!

Loved your reaction!!

I’ve been waiting for this!

Can't believe we're just under a month away from playing this masterpiece! Seems like only yesterday that they teased a BoTW sequel. Absolutely loved BoTW and spent hundred of hours in it, and I can't wait to do the same in ToTK!

Spectacular and chock-full of new stuff, what an incredible final trailer!

Finally, I'm glad you're doing a reaction video.

Been waiting for Eric’s reaction

the three headed dragon @34:12 is called a 'Flame Gleeok'

The reaction I've been waiting for!

This trailer is so well done!

I was wondering why you haven't reacted to this. Until you mentioned you were in UK. Also we love the fact that youre a true Zelda fan. Because unlike other avid fan reactions. You actually knew all the new references. Good vid!

Your excitement was so large, the excess transferred over to me!

I've seen this trailer like 8 times now and I just can't stop watching it!! The HYPE is real and I'm with Eric on how ready I am to return to Hyrule!!

The way you said yeah after Zelda says Link made me laugh so hard lol.

You are the ONLY person I've seen reacting so far that picked out Ganondorf's theme on the first play! Nice!

Thankyou for sharing your reaction im with you brother

Fantastic reaction, I also need that t-shirt 🤤

28:42 That looks like a reaper from Subnautica. :)

I’m so happy you’re as hyped as I am!!!

One little thing i noticed is the part where we see ganondorf shoot malice into the sky and we see the lynels, the music sounds veeeery boss theme(y?). Maybe ganons final boss theme. Regardless its a banger.

Eric you're definitely like me with music. When i was 12 I went camping and took my walkman and my Return of the King soundtrack CD to listen to 😂😂. I'd love to see you maybe do a video about the music! Especially in Age of Calamity where they used some of the same themes from BOTW and went absolutely wild! Every time I hear Revali's champion music I bawl 😂😂

4:09 hearing the theme brought me to tears no pun intended

So hyped!! I think donuts and a bucket on your head are now needed for the first gameplay lol

Been waiting for Eric to make a video about this yesssss ! Wish Aaron was here but still happy nonetheless

This trailer gave me goosebumps ❤

I see our brother Darunia is supporting you in this video too. Good. He supports his brother.

I do hope Ganondorf has a Line of an insane laugh like he did in Wind Waker and that Matt Mercer can deliver on that(pretty sure he can).

I live for this level of breakdown. I completely forgot about Epona being amiibo locked.

Exciting stuff.

Thank god, I’ve been more excited for this video than for the actual trailer 😂

I need Castle Town to be this game's Terry Town. LET ME REBUILD IT. PLEASE!!

Got the best reaction so far I like how just your reaction shows how much you know about BotW😂

Link! … “Yeah?” 😂 I died…lol. That was awesome!

I really enjoy your reactions, I find them hilarious and entertaining.(I’m not making fun of him.) you just make me smile.

Zelda: "Link. You must find me..." Eric: "I will!...in a month."

He's draconic. There is a horn on his snout.

'Link, you must find me.' "I will! In a month." 😌

It releases ON my birthday!!🎉🎉

The king is back baby. And he is looking as majestic as ever.

I'm gonna play it in Japanese with English subs since Ganondorf original voice actor from ocarina of time, windwaker, smash bros melee & brawl is back voicing him with actual lines

The hype is real! 👊🏻 Also, will there be a #poncho included in one of the outfits? Asking for a Wave Squadron friend. 😁

I think the reason the Goron leaves a flame trail is due to the tear they carry idk maybe it yonbo maybe it’s just due to the surrounding area just a guess

Man I'm so excited for this game! Even more so that it comes out exactly on my birthday! Oh yeah!

I’m just glad somebody els recognized tulen

I think this is the 1st time a Eric has been alone in a reaction since Agents of SHIELD season 5 ep 5?

I have been feeling in the dumps lately and Eric's reaction lifted me out

Not complete till blind wave can react to something I really loved

Just to let you know MajorLink is an animator that has been creating a Zelda series called Hero's Purpose. It is the story of what happens to Hero of Time Link and it is awesome!!! Story and animation are beautiful. Would love to see either your reaction or a review discussion of it!

My back is hyped!!!

I would absolutely love it if you could make reaction videos for the videos by press start to laugh because they are video games where the main character would normally not have any dialogue, and he along with his family do voices for those characters

Infectious happiness, great reaction. Gonna be an awesome game.

If anybody is interested, back in 2009 Matt Mercer co-created a web series called There Will Be Brawl, where he played Ganondorf. Quality is rough, but it's a fun watch. Rated-MA

Nobody mention that Links Hand is not burned when he grabs the Master Sword?

Edit: I lied i watched this whole thing this was so fun 😂 I'm holding off on some of the deep dive I think (i like some suprises) but I definitely want to see the reaction to the trailer. I've only played BOTW and Skyward Sword but I loved BOTW so much this trailer made me cry 😂😂😂

@2:20, the Goron collapses in excitement
