This is going to be the longest month of my life waiting for May 12. I don’t even care that it didn’t explicitly confirm dungeons for the game (though it kinda seemed like it!), it’s clearly gonna rule. This is now also among the best trailers ever made. And sure, they basically ripped the same pacing and musical cues from the final Breath of the Wild trailer, but that’s also the greatest trailer ever made, so you know what? Good on them. A LASER HALLWAY FALL? GRAVITY JUMPING PADS? THE THREE-HEADED DRAGON GLEEOK FROM THE ORIGINAL LEGEND OF ZELDA? They nailed it. The final trailer for TotK is incredible, showing so many new enemies, locations, weapons, and fresh kinds of exploration. Well, that’s absolutely NOT the case any more. Don’t get me wrong, I had already preordered the Collector’s Edition and was gonna take May 12 off work to play the game (don’t tell my boss), but as of yesterday I didn’t have anywhere near the same sense of excitement as I did going into BotW. I was worried Nintendo wouldn’t be able to pull off a hype bomb for Tears of the Kingdom before release like they did with Breath of the Wild. I can't wait to get lost in its world, delaying Link's quest to save Hyrule because I'm climbing a cliff I thought looked interesting, or spotted a structure in the distance while riding toward a story mission and decided to check that out instead. Tears of the Kingdom is my most anticipated video game, ever, and the final trailer has effectively made me even more excited. I've watched it more than once and every time I notice something else I didn't before. I want more, dammit, but I also feel completely content with what we were shown. It was a master class in how to show off a game in a satisfying way that doesn't spoil it or give too much away. We saw more than we'd ever seen before, and every second was thrilling and exciting but we still have no idea how it all fits together.Īnd yet, that makes it even more exciting for me. I thought the final pre-release Tears of the Kingdom trailer was unbelievable in both its effectiveness in building my hype levels to the breaking point, while also leaving me pondering the multitude of questions I still have.
