    One thing a lot of people don't catch: In the trailers, Link wears the Hylian Hood during the prologue. For some reason, he doesn't wear it in the game.

    • @spaghetti3406

      Probably because the sword on his back clipped through the cape. I like it better with the hood personally. Looks cool and matches Zelda.

      ​​@@spaghetti3406What's funny is that in most promotional art and even the final trailer Link always had the hylian hood on, maybe the change has to do with the scene where Link lost his arm, so the damage done to him could be more visible I guess?

    I'm still mad that they omitted the sections with the dondon and the rat from the prologue. I guess they thought it was too long for the dialog. The placement of the small group of dondons in the Faron region just seems like they didn't know what else to do with them.

      I feel like the game's prologue was shortened so it doesn't drag on for too long. The ruins leading to the Forgotten Foundation take a while to reach and even Zelda kinda lampshades at it when she says "We have been descending for a while now"
      - The large arena that has a Lynel wity several collapsed tunnels
      - The ruins that contain Ice Keese and Ice Likes
      - The massive stairs that go down for before the sages powers are lost
      - The bridge area with the Gloom Spawn (which I assume that it was intact before the Upheaval)
      - The stairs leading to the Forgotten Foundation
      Can you imagine how much time the prologue would have taken if we had started from the top of Gloom's Approach?

      @@Nyxael5845 I don't think the prologue was supposed to be the whole cave system, though, that would be spoiling pretty much the whole final area of the game, if we imagine a structure based on the first trailer, i feel the gameplay would have probably started in about the same part, right after the bridge, i'm guessing this based on the bridge clip from the original teaser, since you can actually see Link and Zelda struggling to get the dondon across it, so probably Zelda would have went like "now we'll have continue on foot" and then the camera pans to Link's back and the game starts

    I honestly suspect they were forced to delete a lot of this game fairly late in development because of technical constraints. The prologue is really simplified and frankly disappointing compared to what we saw in the trailer. The trailers' emphasis on sky islands is also really incongruous with the final game, as the tutorial island is by far the largest, and other islands seem to have been removed. Even the clouds got scaled back. It's not just different weather as you say, they had a whole new system for rendering them in the original trailer. They looked beautiful and they were replaced with something much more basic.

      now you hear players disappointed that there werent more major skysiland in the final game especially since this was the main focus throughout the marketing and trailers of totk.

It seems like it's the opposite of what you said, but the terminology is unclear. Fujibayashi says that the core design team got scolded by "the designers" for making the skies messy.

    I love Tears of the Kingdom but looking back at the trailers makes me realize how much greater my expectations for this game was.

    I truly think the story of the game has changed since the first trailer in 2019. My guess was that it was still gonna be a Sheikah centered story but then Nintendo saw the growing popularity in the topic of The Zonai so they changed the story to have it be the Zonai instead of the ancient Sheikah. King Rauru's hand also looks way different in the 1st trailer. Maybe at the time it could've been a Sheikah monk or some ancient being before they decided to make it a Zonai.

    • @blakelandry9313

      No, you can see a lot of Zoni architect Most likely they just removed a lot of the cave exploring stuff which I’m very disappointed in as well as they even removed the entrance to the temple, which was very disappointing because it shows that it was originally going to be a final dungeon. Instead, they changed it for a just basic walk-through.

  • @pigaboyAKAthecoolestguyonearth

    I'm pretty sure most of the original teaser is gone in the final game not because it was scrapped at any point, but because none of that stuff really... existed in the first place?
    It's clear to me that the whole trailer is a pre rendered animation made just to show the concept that they had at that point, and based on the fact it took them 2 years to show anything more, they probably didn't have any game stuff apart from basics and the idea for the game.
    Even scenes that did make it to the final game are completely different despite the fact that the concept remained the same, the only exception is the Ganondorf neck crack, that did appear, but with the original snappy animation being absolutely demolished, pointing more to the idea that they made a new animation based on the iconic scene rather than it being a remnant of a previous development phase. After that, pretty much all the cutscenes shown on trailers have a clear final game counterpart.
    And what i find rather interesting is how parts of the Ganondorf awakening cutscene actually changed from the early stuff to the final game with changes like how the lighting similar to a blood moon from the original teaser was actually retained for a while until ultimately getting removed, those details are interesting because, to my knowledge, that whole cutscene is actually pre rendered, and even the part where the castle rises in that same cutscene was kept pretty much intact from 2021 to the final game.
    Another thing that i find fascinating just like the stuff that was almost completely changed, is actually the opposite of that, things that from 2019 to 2023 managed to stay almost completely the same, the biggest example would be Ganondorf's mummy design, that has remained just about the same throughout the game's whole known development, it's only actual change seems to be his secret stone. Since as far as the development goes that model is pretty much ancient, i actually did some digging on his model to see if i could find anything unusual... and i actually did! If the model i got is correct, then his forehead metal thing is it's own material separate from his other jewelry, but curiously, in the texture for his normal jewelry there are actually parts of his forehead thing that don't seem to be mapped to anywhere in the model, and also don't include the shape of his secret stone, these must be the original textures for his forehead! Interesting isn't it?
