26 Things You Missed in the Newest Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Presentation

Bags of secrets are ready to be found by beady eyes, and Aonuma's Tears of the Kingdom gameplay presentation is no exception.

With the inclusion of the elevation on the coordinates, I'm assuming it'll go into the negatives. Meaning there will be underground sections.

Eiji Aonuma gave a hint about using the Ascend ability to escape from a cage. I think this is a huge hint that getting captured by enemies or traps will play a big role in this game and maybe even hints at scenarios in which you work your way out of dungeons or dungeon type settings.

Something I thought was cool was that you can rotate floating objects while using Ultrahand, which is super useful. Before you had to rotate yourself, and that didn't always work out quite right.

The smoke mentioned in 1:38 is coming out of the stable's tent, from the horse's nose. You can see it better shortly after when Link gets closer to it

The apple icon mapped to up on the dpad is the material icon in the menu of breath of the wild, and at 3:18 you can see at the bottom it says “select material to attach (dpad up)” so I’m sure it’s there as a shortcut to fuse, since materials will now be much more integral to gameplay and combat

The teal circle icon seems to indicate that huge sphere you mentioned in 7:30, it aligns in the map with the shop icon (the pot icon). Also the pot icon is exactly the same as the ones used in BOTW to indicate general item shops in every town, that is not user-set.

Given that the ascend mechanic is going to be used so prominently and in place of climbing in some instances, I think it's safe to assume that they're calling out caves on the minimap so you don't need to spend time combing every hillside and mountain face for a cave that could very well be difficult to make out with the naked eye.

3 Things missed in this video:

8:01 the tower with lights around it
8:04 the huge Zonai Symbol
9:03 the statue with the circles above it.

I know these are spoken about in other videos but I would have thought they'd have been mentioned here at least 😅

[MagnumForce]

One thing to point out near the end there is the icon for using the Ascend ability is greyed out when Link is falling but after he dives into the water it lights up but then grays out again once Link surfaces. This indicates the top of water surfaces is considered a ceiling and the ability becomes usable underwater. Possible suggestion of underwater stuff being added? There's no reason to enable the icon for it while underwater if you don't intend to have something happen underwater in the game. Makes you think. :D

At 2:03, if you pause and look closely it looks like you can barely see the tip of another Korok's twig peeking out from the top of the backpack. The more visible Korok is saying he needs to reach his friend, and is rolling down the backpack. Prior to this he was on his back completely on top of the backpack. It looks to me like his "friend" is another Korok strapped to the other side of the backpack, and he's trying to reach him but can't due to the size of the pack. And his friend is who is rolling them back over.

I noticed a lot of things, including the funny Korok, but this was a LOT more than I thought there was! By the way, Beetle is back! He’s sitting down at the entrance of the Stable Aunuma passed at the beginning of the presentation.

[FelixSR]

Awesome video Alex! There was so much I completely missed, like that cute Korok with the backpack (It's so cute!!)
Also, It looks like the smoke signal was coming from the horse's mouth on the stable, which is an excellent addition making the stables much easier to see from a distance! ^o^

[sebastiantrost]

I assume there will be a power supply part. The battery of the fans appears to work like stamina, which would make vehicles from the earlier trailer unwieldy. Maybe a specific (green) part allows for continuous or extendended movement.

[cheesebun]

The constructs were really reminding me of the robot dudes in Skyward Sword, and when you pointed out the minecarts and that blue bulb-looking thing near them it immediately made me think of skyward sword again. If the blue thing isn’t a shop, it could very well be a sort of power source—in skyward sword, activating the gems near the minecarts sent the area back in time, repairing the tracks and allowing Link to use the minecarts!!

[Zerolink]

It would be awesome if they gave us a Shovel and treasure maps that just give you the X/Y/Z axis numbers for you to just go there and dig w.e might be there.

[frogueThief]

The Koroks were shown in an earlier trailer, one of the flowers that they use in their puzzles showed up briefly at the end of one of the trailers

[JenkemWatchman]

When he sinks underwater, the ascend icon flashes, which makes me think there's either underwater caves, or maybe an entire underground map only reachable at the cave markers.

[dirkbalding]

I also noticed these wooden platforms covered with wooden planks scattered through the video. They also have little steps in front and a wooden sign. My guess is you can actually build a house on that spot. Maybe for Link or npc's? And that begs the question, would you be able to make houses with the Ultra Hand?

[IfItsNotFun]

I'm so super curious to dive into the nitty gritty of the differences in the game; at this point I really can't wait

[thierrys]

The puffs of smoke at 1:36 are actually coming from the nostrils of the giant horse statue thing on top of the stable, not a campfire or anything.
