Zelda is also heard expressing doubts as to whether Link can stop "him" as a visual of the mummified corpse from the first trailer is briefly shown and Link is observing from the sky.

Link is then shown riding on horseback, inside a chamber where 5 mechanical arms resembling the feet of a guardian scouts approach him, as well as dealing with various enemies, as well as a giant blocky golem. The same projectiles are also shown to transform the Bokoblins, the Moblins, Lizalfos and other new monsters into stronger creatures. In the February 8 Nintendo Direct trailer, it shows both the sky and land versions of Hyrule with various monsters plaguing it during a storm, while a voice is heard calling to his servants to wipe out the kingdom of Hyrule and its allies, and to leave no survivors as a Blood Moon is seen in the sky and launches projectiles. Finally, Link falls out of the sky above Hyrule and lands on a large, flying mechanism, which he appears to pilot.

Next, Link climbs up the root of a tree sticking out of a floating rock. Next, Link jumps onto a large boulder traveling into the air, showing a giant storm forming nearby.

Afterward, more gameplay footage shows Link pushing open a large door and jumping into a free fall. In the third trailer, a large portrait similar to the Calamity Ganon Tapestry was shown depicting Soldiers fighting with Moblins and Bokoblins, an unknown figure surrounded by seven symbols, and a few people resembling Princess Zelda and the corpse from the announcement trailer. The floating orb has a golden glow, and the damaged Master Sword has a faint blue glow. The delay announcement video shows Link standing next to a floating orb of energy and examining a heavily damaged Master Sword. The trailer concludes with scenes of Hyrule Castle being violently lifted from the ground by an immense force of Malice. Link also wields new abilities which seemingly come from his altered right arm: one that moves an object backward on the path it came from, and another that phases Link through a solid structure from underneath. Link is seen battling various enemies, such as a Stone Talus carrying a Monster Stronghold. In the second trailer during E3 2021, gameplay footage showed Link skydiving and paragliding among landmasses floating in the sky. Text is then displayed announcing the development of a sequel to Breath of the Wild. As the ground shakes, the castle is seen rising into the air. The corpse stirs amidst an earthquake, and the trailer then cuts to a view of Hyrule Castle from the Great Plateau. They arrive in a cavern where a corpse is held in suspended animation, gripped by a pale, ghostly hand.

That being said, it wouldn't be the first time a major 3D Zelda title launched across platforms, with Twilight Princess coming to GameCube and Wii, and Breath of the Wild serving as the swan song for Wii U and the killer launch title for Switch.The announcement trailer shows Link and Princess Zelda exploring an unknown subterranean ruin. It's worth noting that the original Breath of the Wild was developed as a Wii U game, so a visual bump can be expected for the sequel, which is currently only slated for Switch. However, the guys were quick to point out that Nintendo generally doesn't release trailers at a higher quality than the final product, with one exception being the draw distance for the original Breath of the Wild. "It could be the next Switch, it could be just that they rendered out a trailer on higher resolution and higher settings," Battaglia said.

"I was a little bit surprised by how sharp and clear this looked compared to the original in general."īattaglia dove into specifics, saying that the "volumetric clouds" present in the footage would be hard for the current 2017 Switch to pull off, while camera cuts with perfect anti-aliasing are something even the Xbox Series X struggles with. "This trailer was interesting because the image quality seemed quite good, I think," Linneman said.
