Honestly the best part of the BotW trailer is that the music they used literally isn't in the game, they wrote it for the trailer which makes it fit perfectly
I have 10 million power because I chose Rome as my starting civilization it has an +1.5% resource gathering speed buff to help me build my civilization and destroy the ones around me
the concept of an engaging trailer could also be applied to almost everything in life, the calm before the storm is very much needed in most aspects in life
I genuinely still get chills even to this day when I rewatch the Breath of the Wild presentation trailer. It is unmatched brilliance. EDIT: Forget Breath of the Wild's presentation trailer, holy hell that new Tears of the Kingdom trailer is unmatched. Especially the score. It is a damn shame that score is almost certainly made solely for the trailer, because there are parts of it I would pay to have extended into a full track - that Jazz riff in particular.
For me, Bioshock, Portal 2, and any of the old Assassin's Creed trailers were peak Also, I'd through in GLaDOS's limited narration in the Portal 2 trailer as another example of good narration
Now I want the full vid about the BotW Trailer. It's also my favorite Trailer, even today when I watch it this Trailer is unreal for me how good it is.
@@kiyopon4838 I do think that the original announcement trailer is about on par for me, since it's a completely different type of emotion. If you're just going for hype, then BOTW's trailer does beat it out for me.
This is a video that I've wanted to make for a really long time, I am basically just trying to trick everyone into listening to me talk about cool trailers I like lol. There is a playlist of all trailers shown in the description.
One of the trailers that I love the most is a fan trailer of Disco Elyisum. Half of the reason why is because the music is just so damn cool, and the moments that the creator uses in the trailer is just so fitting of the tone for the game as well.
@@hollowhenry04 I’m sorry but that wasn’t a very flattering voice line for him. Maybe it was edited poorly, or not even the final delivery of the line, but Matt’s lines in the recent trailer felt 100% less forced villain than the previous one.
For me, the #1 trailer of all time will always be Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain's trailer with Nuclear playing in the background. The one trailer that made me go and play an entire series just to catch up with the newest entry.
Same it was also my first true introduction to Metal Gear and having played the entire series I can say that trailer definitely sold a lot of people. It was do cinematic and well-crafted. Not to mention the lyrics of Nuclear fit V very well.
MGSV's Red Band trailer with Elegia in the background was the one that sold it for me. It just had this overly morose vibe that I was looking for in a Cold-War era game.
I love the DMC5 trailer. The way you get hit back to back by the words “Capcom” and “demons” only to have someone who looks like the reboot Dante only for it to be revealed to be Nero is such a fun rollercoaster of emotions for fans of DMC.
Every time I watch the BOTW trailer I would genuinely cry because of how good the music and the transitions are. Which makes me sad because the trailer for the new BOTW game doesn't give me that feeling Edit: I saw the new trailer... I am very, very, very impressed 😁
One of my favorite game trailers is the Echoes of the Eye reveal trailer for Outer wilds. It starts off with a cozy little tune familiar to anyone that’s played the game, but slowly morphs into this deafening drone as a strange new secret is revealed to be hiding within the solar system. Then, the music cuts, and the screen goes dark before five words appear: “There’s more to explore here.”
Here from the future just to say that Nintendo equalled if not surpassed the 2017 BoTW trailer with the new TotK Trailer. Fear not, amazing trailers do still exist!
Thank you! The BotW trailers were so much better than what we have been getting with Tears of the Kingdom and some people somehow don't agree with me when I say it. That 2017 BotW trailers is one of my favorite trailers of all time. I still have hope Nintendo can deliver something like that for TotK
I was waiting the entire video for the botw trailer and the smile on my face when it finally came up was huge. It is the incarnation of hype. Great video!
this is seriously one of the best videos i've seen in a while. i usually have a pretty low attentio span and yet for the entire duration of the video i never clicked out or even thought of anything else. the pacing was just right,being very fast in the bird sections and being interesing enough while describing trailers for some games that i never played. then,you really won me over talking about that botw trailer. seriously,i think it's actually impossible to not get chills while watching it. you gained a new sub my friend,i hope you can replicate other bangers like this one.
9:50 I would say the WoW Cataclysm trailer also did great with the narration. Especially the German one because it just has even more hatred in the voice.
I've thought this for years, but the reason trailers have gone downhill is because games sell themselves now. Gamers know when the big games are coming out thanks to the Internet, and all the average consumer needs is a bus billboard or 10-second UA-cam ad. Plus, because of the popularity of some franchises and the severe lack of original titles being made by big names nowadays, consumers already know what to expect and therefore trailers no longer need that intrigue and wow-factor to win people over.
I remember the other day responding to your post about most hype game trailers or the ones that stick with you and I still have 0 memory of any Zelda trailer and was so confused by the BOTW mentions. There is just not a single neuron dedicated to them in my head. But the cinematic Assassin's Creed or WoW trailers that I do rewatch at least every few months do follow that formula you laid out almost perfectly.
I'm so happy you mentioned the Breath of the Wild Trailer! As someone who went blind into the game 2 years after it's release, the trailer kept the hype for me to get a switch and the game and it was well worth the wait
FINALLY someone talks about the text titles in trailers. I usually associate them with bad indie games trying to compensate with text what their game doesn't properly show. I can't stand them: "Craft weapons" , "Explore vast open world", "Battle insane bosses", "Level up your character"... STOP! i hate it. it's cringe.
God damn that business major comment had me dying, I’ve met too many business majors who don’t have the self awareness to realize their major is kinda a joke. I love you man and this is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours. Excellent editing job with transitions and funny music moments and great comedy!
personally i believe another big issue is this huge amount of spoilers everywhere. like damn kingdom hearts 3 really showed almost all its key moments in the trailers
Every time i see BOTW trailer i feel weak, the first time i saw it i cried, now i just get goosebumps but if i wait enough time, i can shed a little tear when i come back to it once in a while. Truly a beautiful trailer.
Another great video, trailers are extremely important and there's definitely a right way to do them. Hopefully the industry starts picking up on these strong points because it's been lacking a little bit lately.
Why would he be eating his words if the new trailer literally proves all of his points. He never said trailers won't get better, he explained how to make a good one, and then they made a good one that fit his criteria. He's not stupid you are is what I'm getting at.
Really, the first trailer for Tears of the Kingdom was amazing. Even though it showed surface-level stuff, it's presented in such a way that left me hooked for more info for years. It knew how to draw anticipation, which is something the other trailers for the game sadly fail to do as well. Hope the game'll be great, though!
I think FF16 Ambition trailer is my favorite of all time right now. The beginning half is slower but it establishes the world and lore, and then the second half goes full action with such an amazing orchestral piece behind it
Yeah, I think they've spoken before about how they didn't want to show as much as they did, but Nintendo's marketing team insisted, and for good reason. A lot was riding on Breath of the Wild, so Nintendo put a lot more marketing behind it than they usually do. They're on much more stable ground now, so Nintendo is a lot more willing to let the game sell itself rather than put a big push behind it. That, and pretty much their entire marketing strategy since COVID has been about announcing games only a few months before release and giving more info. on them a month prior. Tears of the Kingdom was unfortunate enough to be announced before the pandemic and face the brunt of a fanbase snarling for content after 4 years.

Does this meet your standards?
The second I saw the new trailer I thought about your video
It was a great Trailer, but i can't stand Zelda's english VA man... jp was cool tho.
I fully agree that BotW has the best trailer ever. The music is so good Nintendo didn't even put it in the game
And later had Ryo Nagamatsu remix it for _Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!_
Funny because the zelda team didn't even want to advertise it at all and thats why they are giving us 0 advertising for Tears of the kingdom lol.
same happens with all the COD trailers lol
@@Paradox1012 my dude, we had a whole gameplay trailer
The best trailers in my opinion are the Breath of the Wild trailer, the Smash trailer, and the Tetris Effect trailer
Honestly the best part of the BotW trailer is that the music they used literally isn't in the game, they wrote it for the trailer which makes it fit perfectly
I bet that would be the same for totk. I just hope that won't be the best theme in the game just like the botw trailer was the best theme in botw.

They get away with making these sorts of trailers because they have 5 million power on Rise of Kingdoms
And they chose the superior starting class

Just rewatched it, it follows the same formula of the one for the first game bro I'm shaking
@@scooterbean7577 Besides the start, the Ganon talking part is really uninteresting
and destiny trailers, despite the state of the game, the trailers are still super good and only show in game events
@@davialmeida4442that’s your opinion
The newest TotK trailer definitely was an improvement and took a similar approach to the BotW one. Super excited for the game now.
The beginning isn't good but the rest is much better.

Yeah, I think they've spoken before about how they didn't want to show as much as they did, but Nintendo's marketing team insisted, and for good reason. A lot was riding on Breath of the Wild, so Nintendo put a lot more marketing behind it than they usually do.

Tears of the Kingdom was unfortunate enough to be announced before the pandemic and face the brunt of a fanbase snarling for content after 4 years.
Just because Nintendo doesn’t have to advertise it doesn’t mean they’re doing the right sort of advertising
And now we have the new Tears of the Kingdom trailer which is on par with that Nintendo Switch Presentation trailer.
