The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (not the United one a different one)

Any final guesses at the name of the game before we presumably find out? I'm going for 'Breath of the Wild 2: Cursed Kingdom' because I'm unimaginative. I did like 'Death of the Wild' which I saw elsewhere.

Oh mate you are setting yourself up for disappointment

I think Blood of Something would make a nice follow-up to Breath of Something.

Yep, been doing just that for the last couple of hours. /

Hahaha Other people are still trying to make Videogames. Go home, lads, take the night off.

This looked tremendous, which I wasn't really doubting. I was a bit worried that it'd all be dark and miserable, set underground. Hahahaha no.

Looks like they're really building on the verticality with this one, which is good to see. I did set myself up for disappointment on the title though!

Looked good, and I wonder what Link is diving off, like is Skyloft in it.

It looked more like the Sacred Realm to me - i.e. the not dark Dark World.
Or is that actually Skyloft anyway? The timeline is confusing.

I liked the squelching-through-solid-rock mechanic.

I'm pleased to see there's a bunch of new powers Link's got. Or is it actually Link? Yes. Not so much for their direct usefulness, but the discoveries that people will make over the next few years in how to make weird shiz happen!

It's clearly Robert Patrick of T1000 fame playing Link for this sequel as you can see him transform from 49 seconds to 55 in the new trailer.

Seems legit, Keighley hosts everything else in the industry.

Yes it's definitely Link. Lots of wishful thinking from people who want to play as Zelda. It's not her.

Also: is it definitely the same Hyrule, the landmass under the floaty bits? That'd be a bit duff if so, unless they've changed it lots - but how does that work with Link going underground?

I think it is the same Hyrule but it looks like they've done a hell of a lot of stuff to make it unfamiliar. "A bit duff" is pretty unfair . . .

So it begins the comparing BotW and BotW2, which as someone almost on the outside might do BotW2 a disservice with that's a bit duff same Hyrule.

It is Link but as I've seen suggested elsewhere, you never see his face in the trailer after the thing grabs his arm, perhaps his face is marked in the same way his arm is? I've already watched the trailer loads of times like I did with the first game, they've done a cracking job again at making this look like something unforgettable we've not played before. They also said the title of the game is spoiler so I'm gonna go with

The Legend of Zelda: Link dies at the end lol

If it does feel really unfamiliar then 'a bit duff' might well be unfair. I'm just slightly concerned that, given that the best thing about the original was exploring and discovering the new landmass, any repetition is going to feel a bit duff in comparison, unless almost every step is impressively subverted.

This is just a thought and I've no real weight behind it but we've seen Hyrule Castle lift out from the ground, perhaps this has happened all over Hyrule and what's left underneath could be areas like seen in the first trailer. However this would also mean the areas in the Sky are just the same as the first game but lifted from the ground rather than built from the ground up.

Including puns at every opportunity is good.

Make the underground and above the Dungeons.

Speaking of dungeons: I don't mind whether this game does or doesn't have them. Either way is fine. Unless they're just responding to people whining that the last game didn't have dungeons, and they make them long and meandering. Or with those digging pricks from Skyward Sword.

I would like them to scrap the Shrines, or at least differentiate them visually and make them unique. I would prefer dungeons, but I was fine with the Beasts.

Bump for updated name. More thoughts later.

Or to give it the UK name they didn't want to broadcast, The Legend of Zelda: Queensm's Dead LOL.

It's still early days in terms of what we've seen so I've no idea what to expect from this but it looks as if the sky sections might play a bigger part than what I initially thought they would.
