The switch from CGI to gameplay was great 1:07

The developers made this because they got irritated that the spinner from Twilight Princess was under-used. 😅

A game where your main weapon is a shield? Sign me up!

The implications of that story made me sad lol. A lot of people here are saying it looks Zelda-esque, but the art style reminds me a lot more of Spyro and Jak & Daxter. I think I'll be a fan of this.

[BenjaMan]

It looks promising. Best of luck to the developers.

Wait a minute, I recognize that voice. That's the Deserter from Disco Elysium, and now he's supporting a royalist institution like knighthood.

I loved this dev's last game, Pine. I can't wait for The Knightling!

[AvengingTiki]

This is giving me old PS1/PS2 platformer vibes and I am here for it.

Comabt looks smooth.
Visual style is delightful.
Gameplay looks solid.

[DaSheepKiller]

This could’ve been one of those trailers where the beginning animation looks really cool only for the gameplay to be completely different and nowhere near as interesting. I’m so glad that this is not one of those trailers. This game looks really good so far!

[NuiYabuko]

I like Vivi-like character design.
The game itself looks fun, too.

Captain America is so jealous he didnt think of a few of those moves

[frostburnwoof]

Okay, this looks wild. And maybe more friendlier to kids. My kid loves BOTW but only plays it to shield surf around, and this one looks like it’s going to have it, and it’s perfect.

[thomaseichler]

Using only the shield as a weapon, I like that because the shield is mostly used as either a secondary weapon or as a defense-only tool.

[Accidental.Creation]

For some reason I was expecting yet another Metroidvania. I was pleasantly surprised!

[Ardi_]

Looks cozy with a bit of fighting to release stress

[Lynker]

This looks great! It gives me hints of Zelda and Hyrule Warriors, as well as a little Mario. I can't wait for this!

[Spika]

Game looks pretty good!
They need to change the sound for when he hits enemies though, it feels too weightless for such a heavy looking shield.

00:46 - "For a Knight has to be ready at the best of times, and most certainly at the worst, as the one constant in life.. is change." The delivery and that music was pretty good! Just replace the word Knight with "person" and that quote can hit deep and be relatable for all of us out there.

There are times where it's good and seemingly the best, but also, in life we have to be ready for the worst, as life is constantly changing and why we have to readapt and be ready to make the best of the challenges ahead.

Open World? I feel like they told the voice actor to do his best Alan Rickman impression lol
