I had to stop. I didn't look at any dungeons, watched only one boss fight, but i saw going down to the depths and watched a tiny bit of a stream of someone wandering around the depths and seeing how deep and creepy it was, I had to stop. I CANNOT wait to dive down there.
 
Quoted from Era: Once you clean up Lurrelin Village from the "pirates", there is a whole side adventure about rebuilding the Village and you get to gather stuff and then start helping on rebuilding each building in the Village.

Now that we know the main story beats, the title logo definitely feels like a spoiler even though we know it's not without context, lol (and yes, I know Nintendo never actually said that).

Registered to ask a few questions:
1 - What are the official NAMES of the dungeons?
2 - What's the deal with Teba? Is he dead?
3 - Does Yunobo look any different? (As he was hidden in the trailers)
4 - Are the divine beasts in this game in any form?
5 - Do the shrines look more like Zonai architecture this time around? (Like mesoamerican). Or do they look like the breath of the wild shrines? (mechanical looking)

1-the dungeons are elemental temples, and are called as such, wind temple, water temple etc, but they have a surname, like "The legendary stormwind ark" and stuff like that, haven't fnished the 4 main temples so there's that
2-teba is rito village elder now, the previous one i think is dead cause i haven't seen him
3-
yunobo was getting mind controlled by ganon disguised as zelda, the rolling ball of flame in the trailer was him, he nos has some armor and the boulder breaker
4-haven't seen them, asking myself that question
5-a bit of both,mostly zonai

Mod edit- added spoiler tags. Please err on the side of caution with story spoilers- PixelKnight

Thanks for your answers. To elaborate on question 1, I'm assuming the others
are Fire Temple and Thunder Temple? Or is it Lightning Temple or Electric Temple? Thanks again

Reality is no one's played enough yet to know for sure. Presumably, Side Quests are short like BOTW's fetch/collect quests and Side Adventures are lengthy multi-layered quest lines (think Tarrey Town, but I've read a few examples that seem more meaty than that, so maybe more MM tier).

But again, we haven't seen enough to know.

Here's the screenshot of that streamer that beat the main quest. Just restates the above, not an additional spoiler.

They beelined all the main stuff and it took them 4 days to finish the game out. At that point we see this and realize they basically didn't touch any other content in those 4 days lol.

Damn 60 Side Adventures given how involved these seem to be is crazy

Uh hey, just so you know, you're answering way more than what they asked.

Especially #3. I was expecting to see the answer of whether or not yunobo looked different, not having his plotline spoiled.

= i finished Breath of the Wild in 185h, with Tears of the Kingdom having the quadruple of it content, i might have to take up to 200/400h to complete Tears of the Kingdom, based in everything in seeying here, also how do we acess the memories? is trough the glip?

man I dunno how the Zelda team is feeling about how the hell they are gonna follow the game up

It’s even worse because they will proabably have no base to build off of and if they leave the botw universe then th et Bassicaly have to rebuild the brand again.

It’s very much the switch era mantra of “fuck it let’s go all out and think about it later” pretty much

Has anyone confirmed if the Dragon is the final form of Ganondorf or is it not even apart of the final stretch of the game?
 
i'm curious why people went from saying there's 151 shrines to saying there's 152

I assume someone found one that wasn't in the data mine that originally told people there was 151 or something? but wouldn't that also mean there might be more than 152?

That number was always a bit off to me considering it isn’t divisible by 4. 152 makes more sense.
 
It seems that you can use fusion with the Master Sword. I don't really like that idea.

I haven't even played the game yet and it's already looking like the best game of all time. Unbelievable.

EDIT:

I hope multiplayer is added as DLC. It would be the game of forever if it was!

Ive always thought a sort of battle mode would work so well with botw amazing movement.

In just over a week we play The Sequel to the Sequel to the Sequel of Wind Waker! EDIT: oops meant to be in the non spoiler thread
 
So cool to see

that there are so many distinct caves that have names, unique structures/puzzles, and treasures. This really seems like the ultimate adventure game!

Only thing missing is underwater exploration, and I think it's probably because if Nintendo were to do it, they would want to simulate the fluid dynamics of water, otherwise a lot of contraptions made under there would not work well. Take a bucket for instance, I don't think you can submerge it in water and fill such an object using the game's current code. Given how physics-driven everything else is, they would probably want to come up with a solution for that before featuring it. Maybe something to tackle for the next game.

Yeah Nintendo wasn't going to make underwater exploration in a BoTW sequel unless they could model underwater physics properly, and man that sounds like a nightmare

Does seem like a fun thing to tackle for the next game though. A hugely expanded version of Wind Waker's concept, but with actual underwater exploration seems like a neat direction to take the franchise. One of the few things that could potentially top ToTK, for me at least
 
Some part of me wonders if Aonuma will call it a day after this one- he's 60 now and had an amazing career. Fujibayashi seems to be hitting his stride as a game director so I think the series is in great hands if Aonuma was to retire.


 
They have still so many possibilities to expand this type of game further. Water exploration, multiplayer, new maps, bigger towns, gameplay mechanics based on the new content, new abilities for Link modeled after what fans will come up with, Playable Zelda (crazy I know) - the possibilities are endless for future DLCs and games.

With BOTW they really found the perfect formula where they can expand on, beyond what TOTK does. If it‘s open world, linear levels, story concepts, new mechanics, trying out different graphic styles/effects or playing with 2D/3D, they can go in a direction they want.

I said the same thing when BotW first came out: it's one of the greatest video games ever made, with a great foundation to become even more spectacular. TotK unquestionably achieves that, but part of me feels like refinement and iteration can never feel as special as those first moments playing the first open world Zelda on a brand new console. I have a nagging suspicion that some/many reviewers will find this also, and mark the game down for being exactly what we all wanted it to be.

Sure, they can add more clever, expansive content/functionality to the game, and keep fleshing out the world's characters/stories, but at times, TotK feels indistinguishable from BotW, and I feel like another successor would feel the same.

TotK somehow takes what was, pre-Elden Ring, my favourite video game of all-time, and makes it better in every possible way. But somehow it feels less special because of it's iterative nature. But the new content is incredible and makes the world so much more enjoyable to explore. Does that make sense? Anyway, it's an amazing, amazing video game and likely to be a lot of people's GOTG/GOATs...just not mine, and that's okay, because I got exactly what I wanted.

I'm excited to see how you feel after playing :D
 
It really does feel like this is the modern Link to the Past, relative to Breath of the Wild being the modern NES Zelda. Wonder if they'll try to go even crazier next with an Ocarina of Time style approach, or go weird with a Link's Awakening/Majora's Mask approach.

Yeah, TOTK seems like both an ALTTP (huge expansion on all fronts) and a Galaxy 2 (iterative) sequel at once.
