The divide between River and Sea Zora has been part of the canon for a while, though before this the only game to have both of them was Oracle of Ages. This looks to be the first game where you can be friendly with both of them.
I suppose he could use the arm building thing to make soft stuff saved in a build favorite as a bed.. but damn if i ever considered it while playing. Link is nice and good, but also way too hard core to need a proper bed all the time. Edited for easier reading
Link while trapped: gets sent to florida, aka the shadow realm, or inside a damp cold stone coffin. Zelda: gets a cool mystical crystal or a badass anime stand for a century.

I love how both designs of Zoras are implemented! An actual plot point instead of just "uhhh no they look like this what do you mean?" I'm excited for this!
I think in the beginning, Zoras were just evil in the fallen timeline and good in the other timelines. So we just assumed river zoras were different. But I think this is the first time nintendo confirmed them as two species
@@d.n.3652 There's no timeline, that's something only obsessive fans care about, not nintendo. If there was ever an actual timeline it wouldn't constantly be changing and youtubers wouldn't be making videos over an hour long just trying to make sense of it. These are just a series of adventures, the only actual sequels that are in fact confirmed to be part of the same universe are Zelda 1 to zelda 2, a link to the past to link's awakening, ocarina of time to majora's mask, wind waker (though there are references to ocarina of time in it it's obviously just a playful nod to the game, no one with a functioning brain could believe it's the same world - yeah sure, the entire world becomes a cartoon after ocarina of time, makes perfect sense!) to phantom hourglass and spirit tracks and botw to totk. You're welcome.
The initial reveal trailer had my curiosity, now THIS has my attention! I was expecting just a quick expansion over the "simple" Link's Awakening formula using the same graphics engine and style, but apart from the different gameplay, this seems like a more fully fledged adventure, with no "Tilt shift" blur and no "8 directional" movement restrictions. This is looking better than I expected!
I love that we get a real 2D zelda game continuing the DS and 3DS linage. Nothing wrong with revisiting Links Awakening. Awesome to jump of it! If 3D Zelda is now Breath and Tears and 2D Zelda becomes once again the experimental games: Awesome!
Better yet, there's two different ones shown in the trailer. We might be able to choose from a stable/ranch - possibly lon lon, that has a bunch of them.
It may be silly, but smoothies are actually a great solution to BotW / TotK's unlimited food healing problem. They can just limit bottles like they did in the past.
@@BryanOrion-m5ia “fullness” meter would be a terrible solution. You shouldn’t be artificially punished for eating more low-level healing items. The punishment is that you have to use more of them. Any way of “replenishing” a fullness meter like visiting a bed or just waiting would make the game less fun and more cumbersome. We don’t need more forced waiting in Zelda.
i was literally just replaying majoras mask and was thinking to myself "shame nintendo hasn't really brought the deku scrubs back as a main race in the series" so im pretty happy with this too lol
Princess Peach had her game she starred in. Now Princess Zelda will be playable to save the kingdom in this game. There have been many types of world threats in adventure games. Calamity, gloom, world ruling demons, despair, escape hazards like crumbling castles, and more. Can’t wait to buy Echoes of Wisdom!
Exactly there's no way there's NOT going to just be an OOB skip for everything in this, they've set this game up in such a way where its going to be so prone to breaking.
Speedruns are boring, I don't see the point to them. They spend so much time seeing every possible way to get to the end faster, trying out random glitches... for what? Imagine you're on a date with a girl and she's asking what you've been doing and you're like "I've been playing the same game for 8 hours a day for a month so I can beat the speedrun record!" You'd never see her again.
I just now noticed that the amount of Echoes in the overworld you can summon at once are all dictated by the amount of triangles Tri has in its tail... that's such a subtle but cute detail Edit: I went and rewatched the first trailer to compare changes, and realized that they already mentioned this before... ooooops 😅. Tri is cute though, shout out to little spheres gotta be one of my favorite types of Zelda companions.
There we go, I knew there would be some sort of collect-a-thon mechanic aside from heart pieces, your comment made me realize we'll need to find stuff to increase Tri's tail lol
They showed this in the Oracle GBC games! They had the old river Zora as enemies and the Ocarina of Time Zora design as the peaceful ones. It's a great time for a callback to those as well since it's in the style of the Link's Awakening remake 💚
@@EastPort10 sssssort of. there have always been "not monster" zoras in freshwater, in fact almost in every appearance. I imagine there's probably subspecies even within that distinction. after all, the original zoras had no problem being in both rivers and oceans.
Shadow enemies are coming out of the dark rifts, and Link was seen falling through the rift in the first trailer… I can easily predict the return of a certain fan-favorite foe.
Indeed; I am hopeful that we will see the return of Shadow Link for the first time as a mandatory boss fight since Four Swords Adventures, and since Spirit Tracks overall.
@@lostvariusdoubt it since the first trailer shows that you play as link at the very start so I'd bet halfway through the game when you unlock the obligatory 2nd over world you also unlock link to play as
@@thedarkdoggy That's doubtful, as the first trailer already showed Zelda exploring the world of the rifts (the scene where she obtains the water block echo).
Yeah! It's looking like echoes will be as dynamic and varied as the mechanics in the BotW/TotK games. Very excited to see what people end up doing with them!
"Let's give Zelda the most versatile ability of recreating any moderately sized object she can find." "Okay but she's not overpowered enough yet, let's also give her telekinesis!"
Not just that but how even casually there will be different ways to tackle obstacles. Will he very interesting to see how different people use the echoes and bind mechanics
Ah yes, they will make theories about how this one game will solve all plotline misteries. And after the release they will make rant videos about how aonuma didnt create a cutscene with hyrule's king explaining his tax policy
I'm thinking it's in the timeline with ALTTP and LA. Most likely has the same Link too. But I'm only saying that since the Link we see already seems experienced and battle ready. Could be a new Link that was literally at the end of his quest only to get folded by Ganon kind of like with BotW Link.
Ocarina of time… is about an ocarina that takes you through time. Tears of the kingdom… perfect name for the game, the symbolism, and you collect tears throughout the game. A link between worlds… link travels through different worlds, another perfect name. 4 swords, links awakening, wind water, Majorca mask… these all make sense 😂
This game looks absolutely adorable and it looks like something I'll enjoy. A tiny gremlin Zelda riding a tiny horse after leveling to Conjuration 100. Can't wait for September.
Yep and this kinda reminds me of the landlubbers and the breeze builder from Spyro 2 who were against each other.😊 Although I’m not sure if we’ll see a River Zora and a Sea Zora who are secretly lovers based off of Romeo and Juliet.
Whenever a new Zelda title is on the horizon, I find myself being just as excited for the music as I am the gameplay. I love picking up on all the old motifs and melodies, and what they did to make it new or different.
@@wyatttibbitts8603 was about to point that out! Guess since Link fell down into the rift he doesnt need Epona in the game, so Zelda has his and her own horse haha
@@Over_Toasted I think it'll be one of three things. 1. You "tame" a horse with that horse being the one that always comes and maybe one could be Epona! It would make sense as Epona would be left without a rider assuming she didn't fall in as well. 2. You get her from the same ammibo you did as BotW (really hoping for some fun amiibo echoes) Or 3. A random horse spawns every time and maybe has a chance of being Epona (Hopefully not this one)
Using the last 2d Zelda game in Hyrule, Link Between Worlds, as a base, they: - added Gerudo town - expanded the eastern waters to fit both the Sea and River Zora - moved Kakariko village to the foot of Death Mountain - added a new forest in the south to house the Deku (if Faron is where it is in totk)
Or maybe, just maybe, this is its own version of Hyrule and the similarities are there because most versions of Hyrule have similar landmarks and locations. Hyrule Castle is often in the center, Death Mountain is in the north, Lake Hylia is often in the south, there's always a Kakariko Village, etc. Seriously, compare Hyrule in ALTTP, OoT, TP, and BotW, they share a ton of landmarks and even general locations.
I like how BotW/TotK have contributed two more iconic landmarks to the Zelda lore: the Central Plateau and Faron Wetland Jungle. It used to be just Faron Woods but I think they want to separate the biome from Korok/Kokiri/Deku Forest a bit and give the Faron region it's own identity.
After all the forest locale holds a very special place in Zelda lore. OOT Link was raised there and it has been the resting place of the master sword in several games.
to be fair, this is not a 2D game. It's a 3D game, but with a top-down perspective and fixed camera. 2D games are games like the ones from the Super Mario Bros. series
Whoever does that, it's their own loss...but tbh, I can't remember seeing often that people just ignore the 2D titles, they're quite popular too. The only problem with 2D Zelda is/was, that we didn't get a lot (new) for 10-15 years.
I finished play through Majora's Mask all the way through for the first time recently. It warms my heart to see the Deku Tribe (and business scrubs) again!
Some people are annoyed that the over-world seemed to be based on LttP (which is fair) but this vid proves this is its OWN over-world and not just a rehash of LttP! And I love it!
I love this. I like how lore just keeps expanding and they've found a way to reconcile the two different aesthetics of Zoras. I love the ALttP aesthetic and characters.
@@liammccbyrne4184it has the art style of links awakening, but it clearly takes place in the world of link to the past/link between worlds based on the fight between link and ganon and some places in the map; maybe it’s an alternate timeline.
Gotta say this trailer feels like it'd fit right in as a mid direct overview of a game. It'd would go like "here's a more in-depth look at an upcoming game" and then this trailer would play.
@@lorettabes4553 Directs are usually just announcement bulletins. They usually only go in a bit more in-depth if time permits and the game is _that_ close to release. Considering Nintendo does their Directs in February, June, and September, this game getting a sort of overview trailer now means it likely won't be covered in September's Direct other than a brief mention that it releases soon.
“Those rocks may look delicious, but they’re not for Hylians” Link eats them just fine, as seen in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and with rock hard food in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Now for the humans reading this, probably not the best idea to eat rocks
It's really cool to see a horse finally appear in a top-down Zelda game for the first time since Four Swords Adventures on the GameCube, and the bind ability looks fantastic; I really like how it complements the echo ability.
Zelda has been let loose on Hyrule with all her new abilities, and no one can yet imagine the scope of creative chaos that will unfold. BotW/TotK Link over here going: "Atta girl! Now THAT'S my successor! :D"
@@picorrow This is what I figure, I mean, it's already a bit in the Morrowind context, a reference to old commercials, I can't remember exactly what for, but I'm assuming either cars or mobility scooters.
It’ll be an honor to have the land got introduced by Zelda herself. And this game really looks like a combination of TOTK, and Link’s Awakening remake. And I look forward to the theories on the time placement.
Yeah I would have to say downfall. I would like it if these were a zelda and link we had seen before but there is still plenty new so it's likely this is after link between worlds and Ganon is still weakened from his defeats. He did go down easily but that could have been some illusion and the cracks were his real plan.
It's almost certainly downfall for 3 reasons. 1. It's built entirely off of Link's awakening remake engine and Link's awakening itself is part of the downfall timeline. 2. The River and Ocean Zora both exist in the game game. River Zora are specifically from the Downfall timeline and the only other game to include both was "oracle of ages" which took place after Link's awakening. So this makes it very likely this game is part of the downfall timeline and somewhere after Link's awakening. 3. Ganon is in his blueish green skinned pig form which to my knowledge he's only taken in the downfall timeline. Of course it's also possible Nintendo has 100% given up on timeline adherance given BoTW and ToTK doesn't seem to really git anywhere in the timeline. But I'd like to think since those games were made as an experiment to dramatically remake the formula Nintendo just didn't bind them to the timeline to allow the devs to work freely. Meaning hopefully we'll still see games that properly slot into the timeline.
@@metazoxan2 I think the timeline is still in consideration for the two wild games especially with the amount of lore that was in tears we can confirm basically it was a second kingdom of hyrule. This does seem like the old one and now that I think about it. The Sheikah would have gotten the idea of more tech to try and remake the abilities zelda has in this game most the bond power as it has similar sound effect to some of the things the slate and links arm could do.

REVERSE! REVERSE!
**binds**
It may be silly, but smoothies are actually a great solution to BotW / TotK's unlimited food healing problem. They can just limit bottles like they did in the past.
It's always a good sign to see game dev companies still taking healing limits into consideration.
you may be the least expectant channel to see here lol
It’d be interesting if they also took a couple seconds to drink, so you’d have to find or build a safe space for yourself before you could heal up
AGreed - but all BotW / TotK had to do was add a "fullness meter"
@@BryanOrion-m5ia “fullness” meter would be a terrible solution. You shouldn’t be artificially punished for eating more low-level healing items. The punishment is that you have to use more of them. Any way of “replenishing” a fullness meter like visiting a bed or just waiting would make the game less fun and more cumbersome. We don’t need more forced waiting in Zelda.
*Ganon:* "Um... What'cha got there?"
*Zelda, with a bunch of objects to throw:* "A Smoothie"
0:46 Taunting the guard that has to stand post 24/7 by summoning a comfy bed, now that's just mean.

What a power move.
I wonder how many people will summon a bed during the game’s final boss. 😂😂😂😂😂
Guard: I've been out here for a while. Where's that relief at?
Zelda pops out of the bushes and summons a bed. "Its right here." ;) runs away.
DEKU SCRUBS!? AS A FRIENDLY RACE AGAIN!? I genuinely thought we'd never see them again!
Fr I’m so glad to see them, thought the Koroks had completely replaced them
As a majoras mask fan, I feel like a winner
BOTW FARON ERASURE HAS FINALLY BEEN UNDONE
I hope this is a sign that they are making a comeback.
Deku Scrubs have always been friendly. At the very least they're territorial or neutral.
THEY BROUGHT BACK THE DEKU SCRUBS WE ARE BACK
i was literally just replaying majoras mask and was thinking to myself "shame nintendo hasn't really brought the deku scrubs back as a main race in the series" so im pretty happy with this too lol
I know, right, and i love that they are being treated like a proper race and not just monsters that hasn't happened since Majora Mask
Majora’s mask is such a great game, GIVE US A SEQUEL ON THE SWITCH 2 NINTENDO
You are of the deku tribe?
After so many years.
Princess Peach had her game she starred in. Now Princess Zelda will be playable to save the kingdom in this game. There have been many types of world threats in adventure games. Calamity, gloom, world ruling demons, despair, escape hazards like crumbling castles, and more. Can’t wait to buy Echoes of Wisdom!
the deku scrubs are so cute 😭

Ur pfp is peak
I’m ECSTATIC to see them return! (And I know they appeared in Triforce Heroes but this is better)
rule34 awaits
Glad they're back...I always hated fighting them in Ocarina and I felt petty for them in Majora's.
This is the first time the sea and river Zora will interact in a game, right? Very cool
I was about to comment the fact that's its kind if strange seeing the "hostile" Zora and friendly Zora we're used to next to one another!
Wrong Oracle of Ages also had both Zora's
Technically, they both appeared in Oracle of Ages but had zero interaction, so you’re correct

The speedruns of this game are gonna be crazy
Water block cheesing
Exactly there's no way there's NOT going to just be an OOB skip for everything in this, they've set this game up in such a way where its going to be so prone to breaking.
Speedruns are boring, I don't see the point to them. They spend so much time seeing every possible way to get to the end faster, trying out random glitches... for what?
Imagine you're on a date with a girl and she's asking what you've been doing and you're like "I've been playing the same game for 8 hours a day for a month so I can beat the speedrun record!"
You'd never see her again.
@@Vaquix000 Why would you want to date someone who's so blatantly disrespectful of your hobbies?

I just now noticed that the amount of Echoes in the overworld you can summon at once are all dictated by the amount of triangles Tri has in its tail... that's such a subtle but cute detail
Edit: I went and rewatched the first trailer to compare changes, and realized that they already mentioned this before... ooooops 😅. Tri is cute though, shout out to little spheres gotta be one of my favorite types of Zelda companions.
There we go, I knew there would be some sort of collect-a-thon mechanic aside from heart pieces, your comment made me realize we'll need to find stuff to increase Tri's tail lol

Love Between Worlds but that was also something i disliked.

@darkdoggy
Okay, wasn't expecting both Zora designs to be sea and river clans.
Yeah the blending of the SNES aesthetic with modern characters and storyline is awesome
They showed this in the Oracle GBC games! They had the old river Zora as enemies and the Ocarina of Time Zora design as the peaceful ones. It's a great time for a callback to those as well since it's in the style of the Link's Awakening remake 💚
Them being sea and river Zora isn't a new thing. it's been that way for a long time now.
@@EastPort10 sssssort of. there have always been "not monster" zoras in freshwater, in fact almost in every appearance. I imagine there's probably subspecies even within that distinction. after all, the original zoras had no problem being in both rivers and oceans.
@@emilyrasputin yeah, I never finished the oracle games. I got stuck and lost.
Shadow enemies are coming out of the dark rifts, and Link was seen falling through the rift in the first trailer… I can easily predict the return of a certain fan-favorite foe.
Indeed; I am hopeful that we will see the return of Shadow Link for the first time as a mandatory boss fight since Four Swords Adventures, and since Spirit Tracks overall.
Oh yeah, first phase of the final boss is definitely dark link
Exactly what i thought
@@lostvariusdoubt it since the first trailer shows that you play as link at the very start so I'd bet halfway through the game when you unlock the obligatory 2nd over world you also unlock link to play as
@@thedarkdoggy That's doubtful, as the first trailer already showed Zelda exploring the world of the rifts (the scene where she obtains the water block echo).
It's great to see various items are not just platdorms to get higher. The bed seems to be working as a real sleeping place in addition.
Yeah! It's looking like echoes will be as dynamic and varied as the mechanics in the BotW/TotK games. Very excited to see what people end up doing with them!
"Let's give Zelda the most versatile ability of recreating any moderately sized object she can find."
"Okay but she's not overpowered enough yet, let's also give her telekinesis!"

@@zeldafan6124I mean, I like Scribblenauts more than I like Dark Souls
I'm so gald they put Deku scrubs in this game. I missed those little guys
They definitely seemed to favor the enemies/characters from the OG Zeldas in BOTW/TOTK.
Its pretty interesting to see elements of BOTW and TOTK make their way into a 2D zelda game

I'm thinking it's in the timeline with ALTTP and LA. Most likely has the same Link too. But I'm only saying that since the Link we see already seems experienced and battle ready. Could be a new Link that was literally at the end of his quest only to get folded by Ganon kind of like with BotW Link.

It took Nintendo almost 40 years but finally the name of the game makes sense.
Ocarina of time… is about an ocarina that takes you through time. Tears of the kingdom… perfect name for the game, the symbolism, and you collect tears throughout the game.

I need an amiibo of this Zelda to go with Link
They gotta make little moveable figurines of these besides amiibo because these designs are so damn cute.
@@rokelle_2012 (yanks hair) I KNOW!!! My poor Toy Link is on display all by his lonesome self.
I wonder if this is a new horse or if it’s Epona. It would be hilarious if it was Epona, since it means that Zelda essentially stole link’s horse.
River Zora are back. This is going to fill and explain the sub species back when Zora were enemies.
Yep and this kinda reminds me of the landlubbers and the breeze builder from Spyro 2 who were against each other.😊
Although I’m not sure if we’ll see a River Zora and a Sea Zora who are secretly lovers based off of Romeo and Juliet.
It's actually super nice to see the deku scrubs again.
It has been a while, yes.
Ikr? Finally some comforting nostalgia
Same. I was so happy to see them again.😄
It's a small detail, but I love that the music sounds like a blend between the Link's Awakening/ALTTP/ALBW and Tears of the Kingdom soundtracks
Whenever a new Zelda title is on the horizon, I find myself being just as excited for the music as I am the gameplay. I love picking up on all the old motifs and melodies, and what they did to make it new or different.
The UI is also giving BOTW/TOTK
@@emilyevans5013 yes! Especially the quest log and little "!" Icons
The main theme is a variation of Zelda s Lullaby
I didin't really like TotK and BotW soundtrack. This seems a lot better to me.
2:44 and 2:59 WE HAVE DIFFIRENT HORSE VARIANTS!!! The horses are so adorable!!!
Also, this is the second top-down Zelda game to have horses; the other being Four Swords Adventures on the GameCube.
They look VERY similar to Epona and Zelda’s horse from BOTW…. Interesting!
It's cool and all but I long for Epona to return
@@wyatttibbitts8603 was about to point that out! Guess since Link fell down into the rift he doesnt need Epona in the game, so Zelda has his and her own horse haha
@@Over_Toasted I think it'll be one of three things. 1. You "tame" a horse with that horse being the one that always comes and maybe one could be Epona! It would make sense as Epona would be left without a rider assuming she didn't fall in as well. 2. You get her from the same ammibo you did as BotW (really hoping for some fun amiibo echoes) Or 3. A random horse spawns every time and maybe has a chance of being Epona (Hopefully not this one)
I'm 62 and have played every Nintendo console and most iterations of Zelda. This new game looks amazing. 😊

Using the last 2d Zelda game in Hyrule, Link Between Worlds, as a base, they:
- added Gerudo town
- expanded the eastern waters to fit both the Sea and River Zora
- moved Kakariko village to the foot of Death Mountain
- added a new forest in the south to house the Deku (if Faron is where it is in totk)
@@SuperMagnum83That's Links Awakening
@@SuperMagnum83that's Link's awakening
Or maybe, just maybe, this is its own version of Hyrule and the similarities are there because most versions of Hyrule have similar landmarks and locations. Hyrule Castle is often in the center, Death Mountain is in the north, Lake Hylia is often in the south, there's always a Kakariko Village, etc. Seriously, compare Hyrule in ALTTP, OoT, TP, and BotW, they share a ton of landmarks and even general locations.
@@SuperMagnum83 that's link's awakening bruh
glad to see the return of GBC 2d swim sections
4:33 I'm just realizing Zelda is using the power of T-posing
I like how BotW/TotK have contributed two more iconic landmarks to the Zelda lore: the Central Plateau and Faron Wetland Jungle.
It used to be just Faron Woods but I think they want to separate the biome from Korok/Kokiri/Deku Forest a bit and give the Faron region it's own identity.
After all the forest locale holds a very special place in Zelda lore. OOT Link was raised there and it has been the resting place of the master sword in several games.
I like that they put the dekus there too like the jungle/swamp in Majora's mask
Don’t forget the Lost Woods. One of the first tricks the Zelda games ever pulled on players.
Also they've decidedly named the region eldin now. It's no longer just Death Mountain and death mountain trail. Kakariko is back at its base

Gotta say this trailer feels like it'd fit right in as a mid direct overview of a game. It'd would go like "here's a more in-depth look at an upcoming game" and then this trailer would play.
Still a peak trailer and game so far
... that is what directs are? yes?
@@lorettabes4553 Directs are usually just announcement bulletins. They usually only go in a bit more in-depth if time permits and the game is _that_ close to release.
Considering Nintendo does their Directs in February, June, and September, this game getting a sort of overview trailer now means it likely won't be covered in September's Direct other than a brief mention that it releases soon.
“Those rocks may look delicious, but they’re not for Hylians”
Link eats them just fine, as seen in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and with rock hard food in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Now for the humans reading this, probably not the best idea to eat rocks
You can eat anything at least once
Link is built different.
isn't it canon that link is just insane enough to try/actually eat rocks? I think the cutscene in AoC says that, although it's been a while
Link is an outlier and should not have been counted.
Geologists recommend you eat at least one small rock per day.
It's really cool to see a horse finally appear in a top-down Zelda game for the first time since Four Swords Adventures on the GameCube, and the bind ability looks fantastic; I really like how it complements the echo ability.
Zelda has been let loose on Hyrule with all her new abilities, and no one can yet imagine the scope of creative chaos that will unfold.

It’ll be an honor to have the land got introduced by Zelda herself.
And this game really looks like a combination of TOTK, and Link’s Awakening remake. And I look forward to the theories on the time placement.
I call downfall immediately. Map is similar to ALTTP(but not the same), and there's Ganon.
Yeah I would have to say downfall. I would like it if these were a zelda and link we had seen before but there is still plenty new so it's likely this is after link between worlds and Ganon is still weakened from his defeats. He did go down easily but that could have been some illusion and the cracks were his real plan.
@@psykat777 Ganondorf was supposed to be in the Oracle games.
And really, should we even care about it?
It's almost certainly downfall for 3 reasons.
1. It's built entirely off of Link's awakening remake engine and Link's awakening itself is part of the downfall timeline.
2. The River and Ocean Zora both exist in the game game. River Zora are specifically from the Downfall timeline and the only other game to include both was "oracle of ages" which took place after Link's awakening. So this makes it very likely this game is part of the downfall timeline and somewhere after Link's awakening.
3. Ganon is in his blueish green skinned pig form which to my knowledge he's only taken in the downfall timeline.
Of course it's also possible Nintendo has 100% given up on timeline adherance given BoTW and ToTK doesn't seem to really git anywhere in the timeline. But I'd like to think since those games were made as an experiment to dramatically remake the formula Nintendo just didn't bind them to the timeline to allow the devs to work freely. Meaning hopefully we'll still see games that properly slot into the timeline.
@@metazoxan2 I think the timeline is still in consideration for the two wild games especially with the amount of lore that was in tears we can confirm basically it was a second kingdom of hyrule. This does seem like the old one and now that I think about it. The Sheikah would have gotten the idea of more tech to try and remake the abilities zelda has in this game most the bond power as it has similar sound effect to some of the things the slate and links arm could do.
