The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Official Trailer #3 

This game launched when I was suffering extreme health issues and honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to survive 2023. I had pre-ordered this game so I would have something to look forwards to between hospital visits. Nearly one year later, I’m basically a brand new person with a second chance at life, and Tears of the Kingdom was with me the whole time. This game will forever remind me how lucky we all are to still be here today.

Now that the game is out. I cant believe how much TotK makes BotW feel like a first draft. What an absolute masterclass.

I come back just to feel something.

Even though the game is 7 months old now I still get chills as the music kicks in when Link is diving. One of the best game trailers ever.

From “It’s dangerous to go alone” to “You are not alone” … right in the feels

The best thing about Nintendo trailers is that they never exaggerate anything. What you see is exactly what you get. And all I'm seeing right here is perfection.

Even though this game didn't win goty, it doesn't change how much of a masterpiece this game is. For me, this is the game of the decade so far.

Hard to believe this trailer is one year old and the game is NEARLY the same age. This game was such a joy and I actually cant believe I was sitting there watching this one year ago. Happy birthday to that damn saxophone lol

The composer deserves so much praise. That saxophone is incredible.

i love how the newer heroes like sidon and riju are playing a more important part in the story, it’s like a new generation of champions coming together

STOP I CAN NOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT THIS WAS MADE A YEAR AGO I LOVED THE GAME I STILL RAVE OVER IT

Almost 150-hours of gameplay later: I just watched this again and got chills at all the same places as the first viewing. This was my GOTY and is my favorite game of all time.

Came back to celebrate this masterpiece 1 year later.

This game actually launched on the day where I had the worst panic attack of my entire life. My mental health was at an all time low and finally getting the game I had waited so many years for was the only thing I was happy about. When I finally got to my dad’s house, I was able to play the game with him watching. I just want to say this game might single-handedly be the reason I’m still here.

When Ganondorf said. "Do not look away, you witness the Game of The Year's revival." It hit hard.

The day that TotK came out, I drove to one of my best friends' house to experience the game for the first time together. On the way there I drove with my windows down blasting this trailer's music as loud as my car could handle and just shaking with excitement. That was one of my best days in recent memory and this music will always give me chills as I remember it.

It’s been a year…..the Totk hype made feb (second trailer) march (gameplay demo) April (final trailer and RU-vidrs playing early) may (release) June (beat the game) it makes me nostalgic for something that happened only a year ago!

This trailer gives a major “This one’s for the fans” vibe, especially near the end. Brings tears to my eyes

Seeing all the main characters fighting alongside Link is insane. The enormity of the threat to Hyrule feels so much greater than what happened in BoTW. I cannot wait to play this.

two weeks until this is a year old, i miss that time of my life so badly

I come from the future to tell all of you that this game is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece...

Give the composers all the love and the recognition they deserve. The work they did on this ost is outstanding

Once that classic zelda theme song hit full throttle i couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

happy anniversary to all who celebrate

6 months has passed and still, whenever I watch this trailer, I can't hold back my man tears. This is just so beautiful. It's a glorious celebration of all the Zelda games that we had since day one.

“Link, you are not alone” and then showing him fighting with others like makes me so happy because there are so many moments in BotW where it feels utterly lonely (which isn’t a bad thing but it was the first 3D Zelda without someone like Navi, King of Red Lions, Midna, or Fi). Seeing him fighting a *normal* enemy with Sidon makes me think we will have a lot more moments with other characters.

Seeing Sidon, Riju, and Teba’s son makes me even more hyped for this game to come out ❤️

This turned out to be my favorite game of all time 😭

This trailer should go down in history as what a good trailer looks like. Everything in this is epic and even now after all the hype and after the ending of the game, I can still come back here and get teary eyed, goose bumps and still feel massive excitement over the building music. What a game. What an event to have lived through.

How this soundtrack bridges the sparse themes of breath of the wild into the classic themes is so absolutely amazing. It really seems to emphasize BotW having been about letting go and impermanence and TotK being about rebuilding, restoration and renewal in my mind. I can’t remember the last time a trailer got me this excited about an upcoming game, this looks flat out mind blowing.

The Zelda team is like an endless well of unprecedented creativity that never runs dry.

1 year since this masterpiece dropped

I came back just to listen how hard they dropped this trailer.

I already own the game and have put nearly 50 hours into it over the last 4 days since it came out. And yet I still find myself coming back to watch this incredible trailer in my free time

It almost feels like Breath of the Wild was simply made to be an introduction to Tears of the Kingdom.

What I would give to forget every single thing about this game and do it all again!

This trailer is one year old already and that saxophone at 2:10 is still an absolute banger as always.

Its rare a franchise can keep you excited for 20 years but to make you more excited with each generation is unheard of

I never really doubted that this game would hold me for another 100+ hours, but this just confirmed it. Seeing Ganondorf yelling took me back to my childhood, sooooo good.

This trailer is one year old today and I can't believe it... Time went by so fast! When I first watched it, I was at work, just had my break and it was so hard to hold back the (happy) tears... Later at home I let them all out! And now? I still love and play the game...💙

This trailer is now 1 year old 😢 feels like yesterday I was hyping up about this trailer and not being able to sleep because I was so excited for this game. How time flys

Watching not just the other heroes but normal people fighting alongside Link was very exciting. The phrase "but you are not alone" has a true meaning this time.

the composers did something amazing with this trailer. This feels like a tribute to every zelda game made. This is something magical to behold

This still hits almost a year later. Nintendo really cooked with not only this trailer, but with this game

One whole year ago already. I vividly remember watching the livestream on the way home from Uni. I cannot believe it’s been this long.

Having just beat the game at nearly 100 hours, this trailer still gives me chills.

Thank you, Nintendo... This game... Oh my god... That final battle.... That final sequence... One of the best games of my life.

Finished Tears of the kingdom today. It was almost 2am but I couldn't wait for it. I can't even put in words how amazing and incredible this game was for me. It took me almost 1 year to finish it beacause I didn't wanted it to end, I wish it could last forever. Can't describe how much I love tears of the kingdom. Thank you and congratulations to all the team that brought us this game. You did an amazing job and you don't even imagine what this game meant to me and and how it touched my heart and soul. Forever thankful ❤

Sometimes I wish I could play this game for the first time again.

Feels amazing to see Ganondorf back and looking fresh. Last time we saw him in a mainline Zelda was Twilight Princess *16 years ago*

The fact that they brought back the three-headed dragon from the original 1986 game is absolutely insane

I had a strange feeling after jumping from the Great Sky Island to Hyrule for the first time. Once i reached earth, after swiming... i felt like Home. Like i have returned home after a long, long trip. Incredible feeling.

Even if Tears of the Kingdom didn't earn the title of Game of the Year 2023, it's a GoTy in my heart

I’ve probably seen this trailer 20+ times and it still hits so hard… May 12th can’t come soon enough

This SOUNDTRACK is so amazing, Nintendo NEVER misses with their OST’s, the amount of passion and care you can hear through their playing is absolutely phenomenal

Saxophone still hits my soul man. Playing this in the car

One year!!! The best game of my life

The fact that 3 simple notes make me tear up says a lot about this franchise

As a father. My kids are 17, 12, and 9 now. My 17 year old games and Breath of The Wild was the game that became her medicine after her mother died a few years before the game came out. Seeing my 11 year old at the time, pick up a controller, turn on the Wii U and just find herself in a open world, and find that curiosity shine through her head is something you never forget. Breath of the Wild helped her figure out something in herself and let the grief of death go. It’s definitely hard to watch her go to college with Tears of The Kingdom on her side making her mom proud as she expands her world at Stanford.

I love how we regularly come back to this trailer because it's amazing, but also absolutely accurate. I'm both reliving the entire game experience AND the trailer first time chills.

Not a year left, 39 mins! It came out at 10:00 AM on April 13 2023, the same day I watched Mario movie

Its been almost 3 months and I still shed tears at the crescendo... This game is a masterpiece

I've probably watched this 90 times already. I'm glad Aonuma got his wish. The skydiving looks incredible. Everything looks incredible.

The game did it. It lived up to this trailer. Incredible.

to think that totk has been out nearly a year is just insane to me, i can't wrap my head around it

The raw energy and hype when seeing Ganondorf, and that Zelda theme kicks in is UNREAL!! This is already my game of the year!

35 years playing this series, and the music still gets me everytime. It's like playing it again for the first time at my friend's house, and being blown away all over again.

I come back to this trailer and remember when I watched it for the first time in school with my friends, I miss the hype for this game so much, after beating the game in 2 weeks my life felt incomplete again

Still shocked that this trailer is nearly a year old now... I remember I finished my first year of college and then a week later, this game came out and I didn't step outside for like a solid week because I was grinding this game with no guide. I also bought myself the OLED switch to go with it and I still don't regret it. I use it almost every single day and it reminds me to never give up and enjoy life because we will always end up going back and remembering the good times and smiling because they happened. I also had a previous comment on here saying that it would be the game of the year. Although it wasn't fully true, it was action-adventure game of the year which was still pretty much a given for the nominees. I am still just in awe that this game exists and what I've been through while playing. The Depths being an addition, going through the sky-islands, experiencing the grand world of Hyrule one more time, seeing freakin' PURAH, learning about the Zonai people, and seeing Ganondorf's new design and also his boss fight was so memorable. I love this game and if I ever have a kid, I would show them that this is how you make a sequel to an already great revamp to a legendary game series. God bless this amazing game for everything it did for me. Can't wait to see where Nintendo goes from here on Zelda games...

This was all I needed. No huge dialogue. No crazy transitions. Just scenes from the game, the amazing score and very emotional single lines. I’d put this as a top 3 Legend of Zelda trailer

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a trailer this much in my life. It’s incredible. And what’s even crazier is the game LIVED UP TO IT. The wait was long but it was WELL worth it!

No matter how many hours I put into totk, their is always something to do. I love zelda

You've done it. You've finally climbed to the top of Mount Lanaryu, the top of Death Mountain, to every sky island, to every shadow of the Depths, cleansed the Demon King a million times. A year. Be it 10,000, be it more. You have **slain** the darkness. The malice, the gloom. No foes stand in your legend. ~The Legend of...~ *[Your name here.]* Happy Anniversary, Tears of the Kingdom Trailer 3, and may you go down in glory Epic Sax Guy.

Bro can we just admire how Zelda trailers go so hard, not just with the way they are edited but the outstanding music composed for them.

I’m gonna make so many contraptions, thingamabobs, and doohickeys with the fuse ability. I can’t wait

POV: You're here waiting for the one year anniversary of the trailer.

My cousin and I were best friends all the way from birth and bonded hard over playing Zelda together. Over the years we grew distant, but that part of us always stayed true. He passed away several years ago due to health complications, and that was right around the time BoTW was released. I just remember thinking, "Man, he would have LOVED the way Zelda turned out with this one." And now, with ToTK, I couldn't even imagine his reaction and the amount of time we would have shared together with this game. It's amazing how simply a game can bring people so close and create fond memories to look back on. This is for the ones who never got to see this game in their lifetime and for the ones who still have the chance to create memories over such an amazing title. Long live Hyrule!! 💚💜

I played 98 Ocarina of time with my mother. I couldn't read the textboxes because I was too young so we played the game together. She loved it! My mother passed away this year and Tears of the Kingdom will release on her birthday. What an awesome take of destiny it would be, if the story we startet together would end on her birthday in the year she died. Thanks for everything Mom❤ I will never forget the days we spend on Ocarina of time. The Zelda franchise is truly something else.

Even after 10 months, when the original melody drops i get goosebumps and wet eyes, this may not have been the most inovating game ever but sure had some of the best trailers of zelda history

I don't often agree with IGN but this was my game of the year last year.

At 2:09 when Zelda says "Link" and that music kicks in just gives me chills it is amazing, all of the music and dialogue.

Still watching this even though I’m already playing the game. This trailer was really emotionally and incredibly epic!

Although this game didnt win goty, it still did in my heart. This is one of the best games I’ve ever played and I hope in the future people will remember it for the masterpiece it is.

NOMINATED FOR GAME OF THE YEAR 2023!!!!

This game came out the day before my wedding, and joined us on our honeymoon. Months later I still look back to this game as a reminder of the best week of my life. This game will always hold a special place in our hearts

This is one of the best trailers I've seen in a long time, the amount of emotions I experienced during this are crazy

Sometimes I come back to this just to feel something. I really miss how exciting it was when this trailer first came out. I probably watched this over 100 times before the game came out

i still get cold chills everytime i watch this

Ganondorf's reveal is one I cannot stop rewatching. The music composition is spectacular, and for the first time in 17 years, I feel like a Zelda game has a true, terrifying villain. Ganon's appearance in BotW was.. fine, nothing spectacular, but I am so beyond excited to finally come toe to toe with Ganondorf once again.

The musical cues at 0:38 , 1:21 , 2:10 , 2:50 , 3:06 - are just absolutely AMAZING. Gets me so hyped, emotional, pumped up - everything. This game is going to be truly something special.

It feels so weird to miss waiting for a game so much. I miss the speculation and the trailers. Such a hype time.

Can’t wait to hear this legendary music played by the Game Awards orchestra when this masterpiece wins the GOTY.😭

The themes, music score, just...everything feels like a "this is it" moment for Zelda. Like this is where all those branching timelines have merged into this one grand adventure.

Nine days till the one year anniversary

still my GOTY

My God, as a classical saxophone player this trailer really speaks to me, I think it's the first time a saxophone with a more classical-like sound has ever been used in a Nintendo soundtrack, it's outstanding!

You know a trailer is good when the game's logo appears along with a musical queue, and you can't help but smile...

Time goes so fast. This is vid is almost a year old…

hearing Mineru say “you are not alone” whilst we see Sidon fighting with Link is so special to me. Breath of the Wild was my first Zelda game, i knew basically nothing about the world. and Ruta was the first Divine Beast I completed. Sidon was so much fun to play with in Botw so getting to fight alongside him again was like a dream. the Sages were definitely my favorite part of this game. it’s pretty incredible how i actually missed fictional characters so much lol. it was amazing to reunite

This hit me right in the heart container.
