I can hear every other open-world game dev crying bitter tears about how hard it's gonna be to steal that fusion mechanic -R

[ZackScottGames]

It doesn't feel real that this game is only a a month and a half away!

[enrique]

Nintendo saw that people were flying around by using multiple objects together, so they decided to embrace the idea and add the Fuse ability. Absolutely incredible. The sheer amount of crazy inventions we'll see from that ability is going to be nuts.

[Imperial_Inc]

11:48 the water droplets getting splashed so high up in the air since the fall was so high is just such a cool detail to show the amazing physics of this game…I mean realistically Link would be dead but I don’t mind

[Leif_]

The Fuse ability is insane. The Possiblities you'll have with it, is astonishing

[FirstnameLastname-heov]

One thing that struck me with the first game was just how unbelievably creative the fans were. Between electric flying minecarts and sneaking on enemy's heads to jump, people were able to come up with a super incredible range of ideas that I never would've thought of. I'm so glad this game seems to be catering to and encouraging that out of the box thinking.

With the Ascend ability, imagine a completely sealed secret cavern: You’re in a cave, you want to go to the mountaintop, so you use Ascend. But instead of popping up at the top, you pop up in a secret sealed cavern that you didn’t know was above you the whole time.

Imagine a dungeon or quest with puzzles that gives you clues to where these secret caverns are located.

Bro I remember watching this and crying from how good it was

[JustPineapple]

I really like how the fuse ability make monster parts a lot more useful than mass selling to Beedle

[Quadraxis]

I love that the fusion hand ability basically tells us that they saw players making flying machines with boxes and minekarts and went "Write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!!"

[DUHRIZEO]

I love how the fuse ability opens your ENTIRE inventory up to creative possibilities. What was previously reserved for cooking now also creates a homing missile?! That's so fun!

[Highwayelevators]

Anyone watching this after March 2024?
Unbelievable that it is almost a year since this game has been released. Time flies too fast.

[GotA-doob]

They saw all the "flying vehicles" people were managing to make by glitching guardians or the physics mechanics and just said "hey wait a minute, that's a good idea!" They 100% leaned in to how people were actually playing the game and it looks like they have given us mechanics that will play into that. Well done!

[MagicalGirlFia]

I love how they saw players using thinks like octobaloons, boats, mine carts, stasis, and the general physics engine (as well as other materials and abilities) to make weird machines and mechanisms and just went “yeah, let’s put that in the game”

It looks incredible and I’m so excited to make the weirdest mechanisms imaginable!

[Geedly]

The new abilities are going to make speedruns of this hilarious - can’t wait to see what people come up with

[ImNexusss]

A video game that actually finshes production before releasing it. 10/10 just for that

[domainofscience]

Who saw the Zelda franchise turning into the best physics simulator game? Not me, but I'm into it

[mags]

My dad was the one who introduced me to Zelda. I remember on botw’s release day, he picked me up early from school and gave me his switch to play it in the car. We were both super excited for the game but he let me play first. He passed away a little over a year ago. I wish he could’ve been here to play totk with me. I cant wait to enjoy this game for the both of us

[BlinkyDrakkin]

It's clear that the vehicle building mechanic was inspired by people using balloons in the first game to make things fly, and I love that they ran with it. I can't wait to see all the crazy things people build!

Also, the weapon fusing is wacky and very cool!

[albertwesker]

It’s nice to see a game that focuses on physics and interaction with the world.
