@@megaman37456 Even if Aonuma retires, I worry that Fujibayashi will take the franchise even further from its traditions. While Aonuma may believe that any desire for traditional Zelda is fueled by cranky old guys like me hating anything new, he's still the same guy who demoted himself from producer to director in order to save Twilight Princess and make it into the last fully traditional 3D Zelda game. Fujibayashi is the guy who retconned the story of the Master Sword, what Ganondorf exactly is, the nature of the royal bloodline, how the spirit of the hero operates, and how Hyrule came to be settled and later established. He's the #2 guy working on Zelda, but I fear he's still the Capcom outsider he was in 2000 with regard to Zelda's traditions. He made some games most consider classic Zelda today, like the Oracles, Four Swords, and The Minish Cap, but, for their time, they broke many series conventions and steered Zelda in a new direction, especially after Twilight Princess, once we got to Skyward Sword, and he's broken series conventions on an unprecedented level these past eight years, with or without Aonuma. It's my sincerest hope that Aonuma's eventual retirement doesn't prove that he was the hand restraining Fujibayashi from completely transforming Zelda into something it's not. I just can't see the man who played perhaps the greatest role in solidifying what 3D Zelda was through OoT, MM, TWW, and TP turning 180 degrees and being the driving force between dismantling what all four of those games established. That's not to say that either man is a bad developer or that Aonuma fell off in any way; both are fantastic developers, but their present style just isn't what I want to become the norm for my former favorite franchise.

@@javiervasquez625 Ganondorf went from a well-intentioned fallible man to the inevitable and cyclical result of the curse by an ancient demon. The royal family went from a fallible family of fallible people to a divine family who were established by Hylia. The Master Sword went from being forged by the Sages as a just in case to being made by Hylia in preparation for a specific and cyclical threat. The hero went from someone who rose up in response to a threat to someone who was put there on purpose in response to the cycle of evil each time it would swing back around. Do you see what I'm getting at? The element of chance and humanity and fallibility were all replaced by Hylia orchestrating everything and Demise causing an endless loop of the same thing happening over and over. The Sages are no longer the makers of the Master Sword. Ganondorf is no longer someone who let his desire to help his people drive him into an obsession with power. TWW Link is no longer just a kid who happened to be at the right place at the right time to end up going on a heroic journey. The royal family us no longer a secretive family with blood on their hands as a result of selfish decisions. Now it's all Hylia and Demise. It's no longer human but divine. No longer chance but orchestration. No longer decision but cycle.
@TomMooreT2S13 күн бұрын
My biggest worry is that we’re starting the playable Princess Zelda approach with Zelda herself in “vanilla” status. Since Princess Peach: Showtime, fans have already been discussing about the potential approach of Princess Zelda as this bad@$$ magic-wielding femme fatale having her own game in a similar fashion to her Mushroom Kingdom counterpart. Now that’s not to say it should be “Princess Zelda: Showtime”, but rather having a similar direction of having a more fleshed-out Princess Zelda (some would argue that the Zelda in BOTW & TOTK is too overrated…) with the Triforce of Wisdom in full force. Hyrule Warriors and Super Smash Bros. were the closest to observing Zelda’s magic in action. In my vision of a Zelda-only title, it should have Zelda start out with limited magic and basic abilities, but as the game progresses, Zelda learns almost every aspect of the Triforce of Wisdom to the point of being Goddess-tier. And you’re no doubt wondering which Zelda would fit the role. I was hoping her Smash Ultimate iteration would play the part. Her appearance and personality in Smash Ultimate in both gameplay and cinematics just spell… SPELLS! That’s what she supposedly is, a kung-fu wizard-type spellcaster. That’s how I would’ve wanted the approach to be. Here… she’s in… Fortnite mode… Copying objects and stacking them to overcome obstacles and using chairs to beat up carnivorous pigs… That’s not what I thought of Princess Zelda. I’m not trying to downplay Echoes, but the fact that this is the first step into playable Zelda in a mainline entry… Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco KNEW what they were doing with Princess Zelda in Smash… but now I guess it’s their burden with what to do with their Meteor Heel stomper…

If the Heart Piece lying on top of a pillar in the gamebox's cover plus the many "blocked caverns" shown in the trailer are anything to go by i'm sure Nintendo is taking the same approach to exploration as in past 2.0 top down games by filling the gameworld with optional locations and collectables to avoid giving players an extremely linear experience devoid of the gameplay inmersion which most games in the series as a whole have excelled at. Given their track record in regards to extra content i'm sure there's going to be a LOT for us to accomplish aside from the main storyline so i wouldn't be worried if i were you.

If it's the latter this might only further point at Echoes of Wisdom taking a more original approach to top down gameplay never before seen in the series. All that said i'm still very much excited to find out what they are and how we'll be able to use them.

Maybe Zelda is using the Triforce to make echoes with the assistance of Tri? I dunno, just a theory of my own.

the 4! triangles behind the fairy, don't actually disappear Thay just move above the echoes! The triangles are basically a “magic meter” . 4 triangles, so 4 echoes at one time! when we 1st see the fairy we only see 3 triangles and then later 4 indicating over the adventure of the game you can increase the # of triangles / echoes you can have! just like you can with hearts! So you could all so say the fairy is not creating matter out of nothing, but rather it is transforming part of its self in to things! And yes some echoes take more then one triangle to make!

He made some games most consider classic Zelda today, like the Oracles, Four Swords, and The Minish Cap, but, for their time, they broke many series conventions and steered Zelda in a new direction, especially after Twilight Princess, once we got to Skyward Sword, and he's broken series conventions on an unprecedented level these past eight years, with or without Aonuma. It's my sincerest hope that Aonuma's eventual retirement doesn't prove that he was the hand restraining Fujibayashi from completely transforming Zelda into something it's not. I just can't see the man who played perhaps the greatest role in solidifying what 3D Zelda was through OoT, MM, TWW, and TP turning 180 degrees and being the driving force between dismantling what all four of those games established. That's not to say that either man is a bad developer or that Aonuma fell off in any way; both are fantastic developers, but their present style just isn't what I want to become the norm for my former favorite franchise.
My personal opinion, that would somewhat be for the better.
@@BirdieSenpai Not to be critical as i'm wholeheartedly in support of much of your points but i'm fairly certain none of the key Lore points regarding the Master Sword, Ganondorf and the Royal Family have been outright retconned by the events of both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom as the two games are quite vehemently still canon to the previous games in the 3 timelines as proven by key plotpoints such as Fi still been inside the Master Sword since Skyward Sword, the new Ganondorf from TotK been a _reincarnation_ like in Four Swords Adventures and the Triforce been *inside* Zelda as her "Sealing Power" across games in the Wild duology. Just because you think Nintendo is explicitly changing the Lore to suit the supposed "new Lore" established in the Wild duology there's no evidence pointing at them doing so to suggest that's indeed what is happening.
@@javiervasquez625 Ganondorf went from a well-intentioned fallible man to the inevitable and cyclical result of the curse by an ancient demon. The royal family went from a fallible family of fallible people to a divine family who were established by Hylia. The Master Sword went from being forged by the Sages as a just in case to being made by Hylia in preparation for a specific and cyclical threat. The hero went from someone who rose up in response to a threat to someone who was put there on purpose in response to the cycle of evil each time it would swing back around. Do you see what I'm getting at? The element of chance and humanity and fallibility were all replaced by Hylia orchestrating everything and Demise causing an endless loop of the same thing happening over and over. The Sages are no longer the makers of the Master Sword. Ganondorf is no longer someone who let his desire to help his people drive him into an obsession with power. TWW Link is no longer just a kid who happened to be at the right place at the right time to end up going on a heroic journey. The royal family us no longer a secretive family with blood on their hands as a result of selfish decisions. Now it's all Hylia and Demise. It's no longer human but divine. No longer chance but orchestration. No longer decision but cycle.
My biggest worry is that we’re starting the playable Princess Zelda approach with Zelda herself in “vanilla” status. Since Princess Peach: Showtime, fans have already been discussing about the potential approach of Princess Zelda as this bad@$$ magic-wielding femme fatale having her own game in a similar fashion to her Mushroom Kingdom counterpart. Now that’s not to say it should be “Princess Zelda: Showtime”, but rather having a similar direction of having a more fleshed-out Princess Zelda (some would argue that the Zelda in BOTW & TOTK is too overrated…) with the Triforce of Wisdom in full force. Hyrule Warriors and Super Smash Bros. were the closest to observing Zelda’s magic in action. In my vision of a Zelda-only title, it should have Zelda start out with limited magic and basic abilities, but as the game progresses, Zelda learns almost every aspect of the Triforce of Wisdom to the point of being Goddess-tier. And you’re no doubt wondering which Zelda would fit the role. I was hoping her Smash Ultimate iteration would play the part. Her appearance and personality in Smash Ultimate in both gameplay and cinematics just spell… SPELLS! That’s what she supposedly is, a kung-fu wizard-type spellcaster. That’s how I would’ve wanted the approach to be. Here… she’s in… Fortnite mode… Copying objects and stacking them to overcome obstacles and using chairs to beat up carnivorous pigs… That’s not what I thought of Princess Zelda. I’m not trying to downplay Echoes, but the fact that this is the first step into playable Zelda in a mainline entry… Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco KNEW what they were doing with Princess Zelda in Smash… but now I guess it’s their burden with what to do with their Meteor Heel stomper…
It’s links awakening and the power of NyQuil 😂
Yeah I'm also slightly worried, but I still have some faith in the game. I'm also expecting combat to be a weaker point of the game, along with exploration.
If the Heart Piece lying on top of a pillar in the gamebox's cover plus the many "blocked caverns" shown in the trailer are anything to go by i'm sure Nintendo is taking the same approach to exploration as in past 2.0 top down games by filling the gameworld with optional locations and collectables to avoid giving players an extremely linear experience devoid of the gameplay inmersion which most games in the series as a whole have excelled at. Given their track record in regards to extra content i'm sure there's going to be a LOT for us to accomplish aside from the main storyline so i wouldn't be worried if i were you.
Seems to me like battle is gonna be similar to RPG games in a way and less action-adventure
I don't think the tri-rod will be zelda's only weapon since on the D-Pad, there are 3 more open slots along with the tri-rod. I'm excited to see what they are or how we'll get them
It is worth noting though that at no point during the trailer we ever see a sword _icon_ on either of the 3 slots leaving one wondering wether if Zelda will share any conventional means of attack from previous games or if she will have brand unique abilities which Link has never used before. If it's the latter this might only further point at Echoes of Wisdom taking a more original approach to top down gameplay never before seen in the series. All that said i'm still very much excited to find out what they are and how we'll be able to use them.
@javiervasquez625 Zelda not a swordsman.
@@INFERNO95 She definetly is in Twilight Princess during her last stand against Zant and when Ganondorf possessed her in the final battle using a long sword as her trademark weapon in both instances. Being a member of royalty it's impossible for her not to have enjoyed fencing lessons at least once in her whole life.
@@INFERNO95 This guy has no consistent views. He's a troll
@@KairiKey989 Says the salty troll spreading salt like usual.
I agree that it could make combat a slog to get through but I'm sure it'll be okay, idk I'm still excited to finally play as Zelda
It would get really annoying if Zelda doesn’t get any weapon to use
That's literally all I ask for. I've done swordless randomizer of games like OoT, Wind Waker, both Oracles games, ALttP and Link's Awakening, and it does present a unique challenge but without other weapons it's boring as dirt.
If she does use conventional weapons in the game i'll expect them to be either bows and arrows as she's used in past games or magic-casting items such as wands and canes. Sadly i'm pretty sure they'll avoid granting her a sword to avoid turning Zelda into "Link 2.0".
This Reminds Me Of Ratchet&Clank A Rift Apart Storyline Where In That Game The SAME THING Happens
Thank you the KZread algorithm for letting me discover this youtube channel!!!
One simple answer: Triforce wish. The Triforce brought people back from the dead. It can definitely break Demise’s curse.
This looks like everything I wanted out of loz right now, but it's hard to tell if there's dungeons. I think there is, but I can't be certain yet. Regardless, with Prime 4 a year off this is easily the game I'm most excited for.
I doubt that Tri is an embodiment of the Triforce itself, in part because in some shots in the trailer they have more than three triangles, and because the triangles disappear when the player summoms something, but I do think that Tri is likely strongly connected to the Triforce, and not just by name. Maybe Zelda is using the Triforce to make echoes with the assistance of Tri? I dunno, just a theory of my own. Regardless, this is an amazing, well thought out theory and I'm glad KZread recommended it to me. Keep up the good work! I'm off to watch some of your older content now :)
Thank you
Literal pots live up to Midnas standard.
I like the theory. I hope the story is a huge game changer in the best way possiblr
While I doubt Tri is an echo of the triforce itself, I do find Tri being connected to the triforce and the stange rifts being caused by the destruction or harming of the triforce plausable.
the 4! triangles behind the fairy, don't actually disappear Thay just move above the echoes! The triangles are basically a “magic meter” . 4 triangles, so 4 echoes at one time! when we 1st see the fairy we only see 3 triangles and then later 4 indicating over the adventure of the game you can increase the # of triangles / echoes you can have! just like you can with hearts! So you could all so say the fairy is not creating matter out of nothing, but rather it is transforming part of its self in to things! And yes some echoes take more then one triangle to make!
: ) D
Good theory. You'll notice that Tri will occasionally have four triangles behind "her" but they will vanish when Zelda creates something like a table, or 2 triangles when creating a Moblin... possibly to limit so you don't spam building tables into the sky, haha! You'll also notice in the item menu, it shows how many triangles it uses to create a specific item. Perhaps, there are dungeons, and they are able to upgrade the amount of items you can spawn. Super excited to try this game out!
amazing theory! I can't wait for the game to release to see if it's right or not (i think it will be)
I don't think so, from what I can tell, echoes are exact replicas of their subjects.
2:42 That was Localization BS. That was the goddesses themselves giving Link a job well done!
