I've been waiting too long today to play this so I'm just going to start let's just play the game I'm ready wait what wait wait wait wait wait wait wait make a save there I guess and can I look at my inventory not yet oh hang on I have full hearts and I can shoot a beam hey Zelda check this out uh-huh beneath Hyrule Castle can't help but notice that the master sword is uh currently fine I have a feeling that's not gonna be like that for long do I have any runes I could blow this up I could use my bombas ah fine let's keep going Zelda oh shh this is bad this is bad news I don't like this this could be bad anybody here on the hall oh this is from the trailer all the way back in 2019 dude what a coincidence he started to wake up as soon as Link and Zelda were next to next to them oh that's how they actually show it they show it just sucks all of his Hearts away and they're okay well that explains that yeah oh I like that voice pink love is interesting guess this time this uh this uh incarnation of the world of Hyrule has its own rauru [Music] and then she died sorry everybody she's gone oh link was uh I heard he he sounded a little torn up about losing her there you get like little vocalizations at a link that's what I love is that he's he doesn't speak because he doesn't need to emotes just enough so that we we empathize link is a character but also an avatar it's a really beautiful balance I think oh oh that sucks oh it's got one attack power yeah that's enough who needs more than that it's not often a new Zelda game comes out man it's it's just this game in particular I've been this is ah ah I was really excited well we're doing a shirtless run who cares I'm going for it oh my God here we go there's a dragon out there [Music] [Applause] [Music] I got a little emotional there been waiting a long time to be playing this man all right I guess where too doesn't matter does it there's no map there's nothing well this is feeling a lot like breath of the wild except like breath of the wild at least gave you some guidance I I don't have anything I'm just going let's get some branches I'm gonna break right away but hey I got a scavenge oh this is hey watch it we're doing a naked run here it's like material to throw what do you mean take this you can throw materials at people well that's back okay it's not quite the she can slate the purapad looks suspiciously like a Nintendo switch Garden Of Time ample of time wait a minute you expect me to believe that's the Temple of Time I don't know if we're talking about the same one here wait wait wait wait wait you mean to tell me that the sky is this big on top of having the entire Overworld for breath of the Wild that has new stuff in it oh cool album oh she she took these full screen oh nice oh that looks really nice that reminds me of like Twilight Princess art that look that's me hello you caught me with my pants I was about to say pants down but pants off would be more accurate okay well you look different from the rauru I know but uh this is pretty cool that that is how that's his name that makes sense yeah visit the island shrines and you do just gotta find them oh I have the abilities I have my old abilities if I see any more like that I guess I'll pin them and it looks like yeah you gotta climb through the wet okay it's the same deal just completely different setting but hey you know what if it ain't broke don't fix it it makes sense to do this kind of thing again plus these are new abilities too this this really is this the structure they want to go with we'll see how they put it into play in this game seems like it's going to be good well here's the thing about Ultra hand right the ability to create here's the thing about Ultra hand right uh there are going to be some set things that they want you to interact with um that is just magnesis but you can do anything which is pretty awesome uh but like they're gonna give you set things to interact oh no no don't attach it like that oh it's what have I done okay this is awesome already I like that I can make mistakes reminds me of a nuts and bolts for sure there we go oh God not this way okay now we attach oh that's really like intuitive wait controls I like it like Gmod welding anyway that's interesting there so what I was saying before is They're Gonna Give You ways like curated ways to do this stuff they want you to solve them in a specific way but I'm really curious to see if you can get how weird and wild you can get with it what is it asking me to do here what the hell is it asking me there are little pipes here I [Laughter] dude the light bulb went off I and I I lost my no no wait wait wait wait wait slow the down I need you I need you as soon as the light bulb went off here I I swear to God that is that's just why I love Zelda so much but just the idea that like you can make this and you're like what does it want me to do and then you look up and you see that and you're like oh that oh my God the light bulb went off and I felt amazing oh the momentum from that that was cool it's not really that complicated of a puzzle either it's just a little moment that you start to imagine the possibilities you know I just I wonder I wonder you know oh I know I know I know how to do this now to go there something that complicated that has that many applications is very easy to use that's when you know you've hit it big I don't know the Zelda team is just much smarter than I am honestly we're gonna make a boat a little crappy boat oh uh maybe not like that here we go there's only two logs on it so it's basically like a piece of driftwood how do you do the black plateau again right you don't uh it loses a bit of its magic doing it again because most of us not at Play Breath of the wild and you can't really introduce the cooking mechanics and all that stuff the same way with it having the same impact for those that haven't played breath of the wild because I know they probably exist uh this is incredible this is going to be like the same thing that great Plateau gave us for us that played breath of the wild it's exciting because we don't know anything about these new mechanics really and what they're capable of since we haven't played with them ourselves so that alone is exciting here we go let's see what happens oh I'm so excited okay I would like to fuse this to my rusty Claymore oh holy oh to solve puzzles too huh can I fuse it to my bow that's what I want oh I oh I confused these to my arrows okay yeah yes please make some mcshifiros yeah that's some cheap fire arrows too that's smart that's smart it uses materials small key yeah those did not get used very often in breath of the wild pretty much just shrines uh we'll see how the dungeons go I saw an interview before the game came out um where they've mentioned dungeons briefly being huge apparently the dungeons are huge and they were very difficult to make that's all they said as far as I know uh I'm very excited I would like to fuse this to my stick I'm dead I'm confusing to my bro uh my rusty Broad Sword why not everything is now everything this this forget about it what if I fuse this to my shield so now when I what does that mean what what does this imply it was just a stick of my shield I have a giant stick watch out what the hell is that I'm gonna shoot it oh it's that oh I'm sorry was I supposed to do that no I you're you look like the lord of the mountain I probably wasn't supposed to shoot you I'm gonna kill you what are you oh it might oh you know what it probably does oh Jesus oh god oh no okay Ford Guster oh holy okay I understand I understand yeah so this is good this is good right here this is good because this is not only a deck it's the DECA Leaf effect but it's also a weapon and that's cool and I can just blow people away with it what's this what's this a weapon that hasn't been fused to anything it is now box sword it's so stupid oh man so what I'm gathering from the fuse system is that I I guess hypothetically I could fuse a royal Claymore to another Royal Claymore which is fine by me that is fine by me what do you mean a confusing Minecart to a weapon what do you mean what are you talking about what what is what is the use for this I guess I could have used them to blow up the or break the uh ore over there I didn't know you confused an entire Minecart to your sword it looks so stupid but it's mine what's that oh so that's what that is and I confuse it to my shield I guess ah dude oh my God this game is pretty awesome oh this looks so stupid when I when I'm not using it but I don't care easy put in whatever materials you want it's like give you something oh you get oh I got a few things oh portable portable cookie cookie pot oh I'm so happy and that has more attack power it tells you the attack power the thank you ghost can I fuse a frog to My Sword I don't think you can dude come on I got this man I got this I'm just gonna gently gently we're gonna get going we're gonna gently apply Force here I don't think this is the Strat this doesn't seem to be working this is a dumb plan yeah so I see if you're coming from that direction that's why the koroks are separated it's non-linear kind of setup but I was curious to see if that would work it probably would if I was like a bit smarter with the placement okay well uh that's enough for now I'll see you guys tomorrow morning and I mean for you it's going to be a second but I'm gonna go to bed now uh so I didn't sleep like I I think I got four hours of sleep last night and by last night I mean throughout the early morning I just couldn't fall back asleep because I was too excited I tried everything but uh after laying awake in bed for an hour and a half I just I conceded and I walked downstairs had breakfast and I was like yeah uh I don't know how I'm gonna feel throughout this this uh recording session but I think I think I'm gonna be all right I figured out a way to get that Minecart across so there was another solution there instead of going through the cave um well at least I didn't figure it out but I thought of it before falling asleep I was like oh this is probably gonna work step one is getting over here then what we're gonna do is we're gonna attach a mine cart to this same Minecart right we're gonna detach the fan rotate it so that it's like this patch it there now my idea is that there will be enough weight on the mine cart that I won't uh die this is probably not what they wanted you to do they probably wanted you to come back around and like come down this way but it dude I'm a scientist no it's like a car for two see that it's perfect now two people can ride together it's it's a nice little like vehicle for a date oh this is working this is totally gonna work this is working I Had a Brain Blast last night before I was gonna go to sleep and I made sure that I wouldn't forget it in the morning it it worked I put two together and it worked you have no idea I Was So Satisfied when I realized that that might work like the weight of it the fact that I was just thinking about that what made it hard to go to sleep to begin with but then I woke up and I was like oh I'm not going back to sleep there's no way I gotta go I gotta go play this well I guess there is no reason to really get up here this early and I don't have uh I don't have the Perry lighter so I can't exactly oh boy okay this is gonna get me up on the mountain this is gonna get me up on the mountain no problem all right I made it to the mountains and I made it with my own wacky inventions I could have went through the cave again but I said no I wanted my stubborn little invention to work and it did the idea of certain materials giving you better damage is really smart too you can craft some pretty decent weapons and I like that it's not a traditional crafting system like they didn't cave in that regard to people being like I want a crafting system they were like okay we will May integrate the crafting system for the weapons into a mechanic that revolves around everything you can find in the world what happens if you fuse a cooking pot to your arrow what's the point of that oh no my phone just fell off my desk and onto my foot but it it hurt but not so much that I yelled I was just I just took it I was like yep that just happened yup that just happened oh I see I see vertical surfaces or stick or slick and hard to climb other vertical surfaces become slick When Wet that doesn't really do me much good oh I almost made it yes okay that worked that worked I don't think that was intended but hey you know what I don't care in this game doesn't matter oops oh glider glider glider glider glider oh my God glider oh my God okay hold on wait they let players do that just by the seat of their pants right there's no way I think that icicle oh oh we're going we're going oh I need a ramp surface no way no way it's entirely physics based I just balance on it I can't believe how it's completely organic this is incredible I've never seen anything like this I'm paragliding without the paraglider Hang on we're gonna take a sharp right here dude this [Music] this is the best thing I've ever seen I can't believe they thought of this and it's so easy to control too oh my God okay energy Wells I don't know what they do oh distant depths of the world below did you just say that to me distant depths of the world below unless it means like just Hyrule but does it also mean the underground because I've been speculating about that I've been a speculative boy oh here we go here we go oh we're going oh we're going oh eyes chime there she's still around she's uh she's in there huh that was pretty cool the Cloudy sea parts for link [Music] pink pink to the kingdom of Hyrule boom here we are huh Hyrule restoration materials Hudson's back oh wait what use this materials cache for all your building needs come find us if you'd like a dream home or shrine and a bloopy let me touch a piece eyeball if I can that worked I'll never miss a bloopy again oh I see oh that's so cool that is incredible that is incredible see this is this is good they doubled down on a concept that's particularly malleable so you can come up with some really wacky things like that for example that was a really cool puzzle [Music] you figured out the uh anti-aging thing now she doesn't look like a six-year-old anymore I mean she's basically playing God with that invention it's a bit much does she just go back and forth between them at will now because like she's playing God she you have my support Addison oh another guy oh sorry did I distract you what what are you talking about oh yeah she's right there she really was right there what the hell well that was easy okay oh bye I guess see you later oh I dedicate this Monument to the memory of the Souls Lost the calamity [Music] this lovely flower was said to have been a favorite of the princess of Hyrule they were once feared to have gone extinct but it's not uncommon to spot them growing in the wild that's a really nice subtle change after breath of the wild it used to be they can be spotted you know they're kind of rare but now it's not uncommon things have gotten better it's a beautiful moment right there I love that whoa no the suction of its toes allow this lizard to easily cling to walls it could be an asset for a climber on wet surfaces if mixed into an elixir thank you so much holy that is so exciting that was like the biggest problem with that game for me at least was just rain it's being inconvenient and stupid and we finally have a solution to that problem and these guys I want to go in that Chasm I want to go into the depths it might not be a good idea but let's find out what happens here we go into the depths of hell oh my God it's Pitch Black in here yes and here we have a third layer to the open world that is incredible there's so much in this game oh my God he's got a straight up car [Laughter] there it goes what the hell that actually worked that was not even the correct solution but I'm glad it worked mirror Shield perhaps oh oh my God you can make your own mirror Shield I could fuse that to my shield and it would become a mirror Shield I am very excited about that that is really cool I now have a mirror Shield oh my God it's just this is the kind of shrine I'm talking about is that they introduce new Concepts consistently that you thinking about what's possible they just double down on everything that breath of the wild had and say nope this is our Direction and we're just gonna go harder on it every single thing rather than removing it entirely we double down and create something like a they double down they do something new with it and it's awesome fix problems from the original by innovating on the same systems [Music] there's gliac all right I spotted this earlier uh I'm very excited I'm gonna fight gliac how's it going gliac oh my God he's oh my God he's really tough man I thought it would be that easy to kill gliac where am I oh God where am I oh God uh okay I have an idea okay this is my hot air balloon I guess oh I make a hot air balloon get up high on the sky and then paraglide over I guess it's working oh it's not going high enough it's going up I'm burning to death I'm burning but it's working it's working it's actually working this I'm going really high up now let's try this get rid of the hot air and just Glide oh my god dude no no no wait wait oops don't fly don't fall don't fall don't fall though yeah that's it that's it that's it oh my God it's working I made it what you what do you mean you live in my old house this is my house I own this how at least you know what at least this picture is still here that's quite nice Zelda's Journal Zelda's Journal Zelda lives here oh there it is Zelda's Secret well this is amazing oh that is so cool in the throne room okay Zelda hmm that doesn't look scary at all I'm going down there I'm sure it'll be great actually I should make a save first down I go oh it's loading it's loading oh I'm actually at the depths like I'm in the lowest pit of Hyrule I could possibly be no I'm good see ya there's Gloom everywhere oh there's a Lionel oh my God there's a Lionel there's a Lionel down here what the f and I'm dead you can change to the world map from the dungeon map with x no way the dungeons actually have wait no no no did they do it did they actually make every dungeon like Hyrule Castle I am in disbelief right now I can't believe it there I figured it out I figured it out [Music] there he goes oh that's what I wanted that's actually exactly what I wanted aha okay that's awesome I made my own little makeshift tent I burn up that door thing blocking the door and I'm home free what I love about this game is that rather than removing or uh caving to systems that were criticized in the previous game they doubled down and instead found a way to circumvent them entirely with new systems so the shrines are infinitely more interesting because of the abilities you have this time um the abilities themselves apply to the world in so many different ways and like Beyond just like um what was possible in terms of emergent gameplay in the breath of the Wild this game you just can do anything and it's the right answer so they just built on that element from uh this thing's gonna drag behind me um they just built on that element of experimentation from breath of the wild and just nailed it like weapon durability as well rather than removing it entirely sorry you're gonna have to stay there korok buddy for now at least um the the weapon durability is completely circumvented through the fuse system and you know it because of how it works you actually want to like dig into combat and there's so I feel like there's enough like fresh material here that it doesn't even matter that we're playing through the same Hyrule again there's they they've really nailed it this I I don't know how they managed to do it but yeah I feel like no two solutions are the same for most people it's it's kind of amazing very difficult for me to have like coherent oops it's very difficult for me to have like a coherent discussion about this game right now because it just came out but I am way into it it's about what I expected though from what I'd seen I knew I was gonna love it whoa hello you're going straight into the chasm okay uh take that he's no no not the time bees no no okay let me try what was uh what I would what I've been told to do use it to a shield and try to Shield surf oh what I thought that would hurt me okay I'm using that that's good knowledge right there I want to hear people to hear my reactions to them I I was talking to Dan my friend Dan about this and he's already done the at least one of the Dungeons and I was like oh yeah they did an interview talking about how they're huge that's all they said though and I was like I'm just curious and excited to check them out and Dan was just like definitely DM me when you get there I was like yeah [Music] I oh I could just hold on a second I have the power dude I just skipped the entire shrine showing of Fire and Ice by George r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r or or or [Music] ooh cold weather attack that's really cool that is a cool looking piece of armor nothing nothing wrong with an exposed back flying ship you say no no don't do this to me is this oh I'm gonna cry if oh that would be so beautiful they did that please don't tell me that the dungeon is a flying ship a ghost ship so to speak why am I so dumb bro cool oh that's really cool oh what no way oh God this is weird the layout of this place is so wild am I going all the way out there hey come on tooling oh oh my God above the clouds now and we go oh my God this is so cool oh the game's lagging you can't handle this oh wait what the wind Temple what the f [Music] uck this is the dungeon oh what the hell holy dude this is gonna be awesome whoa oh my God this puts all of the blights to shame this boss alone holy [Music] oh my God the music oh my God the music has read oh my God the music has Dragon Roost Island's melody in it when you're fighting colguera oh my God this boss actually plays into everything you've learned leading up to this boss the dungeon Builds on all those Shrine Concepts it has unique theming intrinsic to the region you're exploring okay that should do it and now I need a steering wheel okay note to self cool it with the missiles so when these guys eat chicken is it cannibal cannibalism what about when the Zora eat fish because they do that's cannibalism right uh here we go okay here we go oh my God oh my God it's actually working dude what I can't believe they made a quest like that not only is it satisfying and rewarding to do it but like you also just do cool builds I'm genuinely astounded at how much of an improvement these dungeons are especially this one but like the the way this game is structured they elegantly are able to build on Concepts from across the game despite it being holy non-linear and that is I am at a loss for words I don't know how they did it man it's it's insane oh we destroyed it oh this is awesome holy the managing of all the give those that's exactly what you did when you were defending the town and they ended up building on that in the final boss of the dungeon I can't believe how much better these are than Divine beasts this is insane I'm using a mirror pot lid right now what the f oh okay that was cool oh I know let's go that was amazing that was so cool that was amazing the fact that I just trampolined onto his ship oh it looks cool it's got dead people on it it's just it looks stupid an extendo reaches them that's awesome what if I do this oh my God that's amazing the lightning Temple the thing is with these dungeons all right this is what I was gonna say earlier um the dungeons are kind of emblematic of why tears of the kingdom is more cohesive than breath of the wild even though it's entirely non-linear it's just like the nature of its mechanics allow you to interact with the game in like Way Beyond what the runes did in breath of the wild and no matter what you learn you're always learning something new and you can apply those things in new ways and all each region really zeros in on like here are some new ways that you can experiment with your abilities like for example the lightning Temple is a perfect example actually because the meat they there are a lot of shrines and little caves that use the mirror and like a mirror Shield kind of thing the lightning Temple and uh to an extent I think the wind Temple both solve a recurring a lot of recurring issues with the Divine beasts that wasn't entirely fixed until the DLC dungeon which was the fact that the puzzles never intersect with one another and they're just so like far removed and weird except for like when the mechanic the central mechanic of the Beast requires that kind of like uh vonaboris the DLC one is so good because the the way it's designed you have to like put the gears and together to make other puzzles work like it's like a giant system of pulleys and cogs and stuff okay oh do you like pick up the sign oh my God people are running oh oh okay I need to maybe slow down I'm going backwards okay it's just amazing that yeah you're constantly learning things it doesn't feel like the game is ever disconnected from one thing there's always all these ideas feed into how you might solve a dungeon oh no crucifix fell over things I never thought I'd hear myself say when playing Zelda this nature just chilling oh can I weld you to my oh bingo this is how I will deliver him I have saved as a favorite with cannons on it I'm gonna use all of my zoneite I'm just gonna drive towards them my frame rate bro oh boom boom this is amazing they're really scattered now deep Force I wonder if I I'll get underwater Oh the fact that they thought of that like something something obscure that happens in everyday life like if you try to put like a cup underwater it shoots back up oh my God is this actually the solution I just oh no way this is the solution okay hold up hold the phone here dude this is so cool will this work ladies and gentlemen it sure will oh boy I am terrified link link your go too far away no oh [Music] what the hell is she doing holy [Music] oh my God what what she's the Dragon oh my God [Music] so she's always there [Music] watching over everybody [Music] and that's why they use an urhu for her lullaby that's brilliant that's amazing and she's always there holy that's so cool and she look it's just like it's just a garden that this is this is really amazing so now what is the question oh you can do while diving now what what the [Music] whoa hold on there's more oh my God and I'm so high up too this is like the kind of I'd only dream of in breath of the Wild what are you gonna do what is going on up there oh there's something there oh what the Ed I don't know if this is enough though [Music] come on do I need max out or something [Music] can I do it come on yes [Music] oh my God of all the times of all the times you've done that in Zelda that was a good one it was a good one I need to deafen again so I can cry oh my God oh my God I'm gonna cry I'm actually gonna cry that this was a profound moment for Zelda as a character and the series itself and very personal too be pulling the sword like this [Music] holy holy [Music] [Music] she is the key to destroying the Demon King [Music] when you two next face The Demon King you will have my strength to help you through her [Music] foreign [Music] oh my God that was incredible the geoglyph hunting the final cut scene just seeing her above and then being like I want to see if I can go get a scale and then there's so much more thank you Zelda look oh my god I've missed this place so much my favorite quest in the entire game breath of the Wild Nothing's Gonna Change that are they talking about their daughter it is looks just like her papa he's gonna have to grow it she really is the same haircut she's got this stupid haircut that Hudson has oh love it pay attention granny monari where's the Gerudo word for granny Baba Baba all right Madison we're good to go that is so funny oh I know there's probably more than one way maybe but if that is the the only way and that's the intended solution good on them that's really funny that's really funny what I can't see I can't possibly look around this statue of Hudson or this cut out of Hudson it's so silly this is so cursed curse you child of course [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] that was a very simple Quest it didn't take very long to finish but was it good I don't know I just tied into the games Core theme very well and it felt like a beautiful follow-up to Terry town in breath of the wild I've been helping them and then seeing the sun rise there which reminded me of a moment I had when recording for my playthrough for my video for breath of the Wild and also it just tied into the central theme of the game perfectly that could not have been more perfect oh my God are you serious please I can afford that I can definitely afford that oh my God I get to live on the cliff side I am so excited but that's really exciting what you can do with this dream house thing less time consuming than the quest in the original game when you built your own house in uh hiteno uh it's more creative it's more rewarding uh it ties into Hudson's story ties into the main theme of the game ties into the central mechanic of the game and it's just really really fun that you get to build your own house because there's so many uses like you can store your you can put paintings up a little study cook there is your little hub [Music] hey but Bolson I found uh some logs not these well I guess you don't need them then oops what you said you didn't want those lugs so there's better uses for them oh uh sidon I need to make it trip outside of the yeah I need to do something that was so satisfying oh my God this is gonna be something good let's see what it is oh it actually is holy what what now that is awesome oh that is very useful I should have went here first like I might do this dungeon first on my next playthrough this is incredible and it recharges really fast like that replenishes immediately pretty much that is so useful thank you domed that guy oh my God everybody all my friends are here that was so cool oh what it really is that huge okay uh the trailer gave off the impression that that might be a dungeon I was like no no this is the depths area well it's still cool All Things Considered and then I approach and it's an actual dungeon how do you make a dungeon this big this is awesome especially in a structure like this this is a huge dungeon it's got Minecart Track so oh my God this is gonna be cool this is already I'm already excited man it's five floors the other thing is you also have to rely on your comrades and dungeons too which makes traversal a bit stingier but also more interesting because you have to accommodate for your friends and you know but can't jump that I don't know how oh my God oh my God oh my God I guess I could launch you know Bo once I learned to do that earlier kind of the game kind of forced me to which is pretty dope oh yeah oh yeah okay they thought of that they really wanted you to learn to do that huh that's so cool oh I can use recall dude this game rocks this dungeon is amazing just everything's coming together so well please you know Bo come here we're done everything in this dungeon came together so God damn well I don't know how this this is a massive turnaround from the Divine beasts dungeons massive but it was so much fun while it lasted this okay this dungeon is by far my favorite lightning Tempo was really good but the fire temple rocked oh dude this block I already can tell this boss is gonna be sick you have to launch unobo at the right hand can you chill you have to launch you know about the right angle so you can hit him on top that is so cool yeah I got the leg okay that was tough oh my gosh okay that was so cool everything about this dungeon everything worked and it worked in a game that you wouldn't expect to have good dungeons because breath of the Wilds were you know fine but the fact that that that that was a good dungeon like I can't believe it this structure actually does have a lot to offer in terms of non-linear linear dungeon dungeon design because you can still teach players things through non-linearity you can still have them encounter problems that are like okay they're setting them up for like ramps and then it's like okay now you gotta hit gomo while gomo's on the ceiling and it's like holy [Music] the mine carts like I described this earlier but the mine carts uh the different layers uh the different disconnected rooms connecting everything the five floors and how you have to trace a path with the Minecart's create paths use unobo effectively the terrain the puzzles everything worked so beautifully in this dungeon yeah I'll just go check things out what that's not Zelda Zelda's the dragon she's fine well I mean she's a dragon she's not herself anymore [Music] oh that is so sad but it's just the more I think about it the sadder it gets they're building up to something I don't know what but they're building up to something wait I'm at the construct Temple finally now I know what oh my God this is a dungeon I think I know what to do here now it's funny that I just stumbled upon this and I had no idea what to do here I maybe saw things that I wanted to interact with but it was like no not quite yet this is so cool I I'm I'm I'm so happy that this dungeon just serves as a giant mystery until you finally realize oh oh it's like link had to realize link had to be informed need to solve the mystery hidden away from Ganon for so long oh yeah yeah could work it's very scary okay here we go whoa it totally worked [Music] this is so stupid I try so many different things but this one will work this one like there's no way it won't because I'll be able to grab it from up there and now I use recall and it'll be super easy from there oh I feel like a genius it's just I spent so long trying to do it the wrong way and then I found the right wrong way can ride on me Nero's construct okay thank you yes yes yeah somehow the motorcycle complaint I made in my video will not complain but you know what I mean I comment on the motorcycle being a thing in the game it feels wrong to complain about that when this game proves that nothing matters oh boom holy Cannon arm okay this this game is ridiculous this is a bit much but hey I don't care awesome and not a whole lot left for me to do now though it's main story wise I could finish this game today I don't want to be over I don't want to be over this is gonna be so excessive like God I reached the attach limit I didn't even know there was such a thing okay uh oh if my oh if they hit the if the glioc hits my wood though that would be a big problem oh it works [Music] holy [Music] oh my God I have created a masterpiece in in get in oh wait everything broke no oh all of my beam emitters broke my idea was so it was such a failure humbled me I'm just building a weapon of mass destruction in front of him and he's like hmm what a lovely day for a stroll it's very top-heavy okay okay okay okay okay go this will work this might be a little tricky oh oh God up up up it's the battery weighing me down I shot myself and by a fighter jet I mean oh oh it's going without me oh [Music] what the hell no it's self-sustaining come back now to use the charges [Music] what the hell okay let's see what happens go you knowbo kill I missed oh my God why is it flying away and this gives me more control and speed okay glioc time to meet your match okay great wonderful stop hurting my I made this it was my creation stop burning me you missed you know Bo there we go holy sh okay and the entire thing broke I'm so mad at this point I don't even want to use a Mech I'm just gonna kill him with just my pure skill but it really does feel like glioc really they really wanted people to uh come up with their own solutions to beating him the kill whittling his health down kind of thing oh my God the wings knocked me away I wasn't thinking about that there's so much going on in this fight man yeah I think swallowing my pride in terms of Mech building and just fighting this thing traditionally uh was probably the right thing to do because I'm I'm it's working now where is he oh oh that's bad oh that's bad oh we're going in the air now oh I'm fighting him in the air oh no duh got him the Final Phase was incredible like just fighting in them in the air holy excuse me oh yeah sorry um I know where to go I don't need to listen to you anymore oh I dodged it got him 73 and it looks so sick oh that looks so cool yep yep I'm back again made it back to where me and Zelda were at the beginning oh so sad imprisoning chamber here we go gloom's lair boy yeah all right oh God [Applause] [Music] mm-hmm looks like he uh hydrated drank some water Skin's looking better he is so swole like he is the widest boy foreign oh what he flurry rushed me okay it's really interesting that his first phase is just you but bigger gotcha okay look at you oh the health bar got me okay Tulin you know ow [Music] sidon oh you flurry rush me I parried your ass no I tried I tried I tried to Parry him again oh almost got him uh this fight so far has been the entire everything everything honestly has been outstanding but the fight especially this was this is better than Calamity Ganon like it's and it the the weird thing is like climate again is probably the more interesting one but this one just keeps going and going and going it's building and building and building I don't know maybe that's the exaggeration but I just really like this one I could have parried there I hear music from breath of the wild now the blights dog whoops oh it worked dude so skyward Swords demise fight was so good that like sometimes I would just turn the game back on just to fight him again this is reminding me of that oh yeah he's taking Hearts away from me you're a dick got him come here that was so cool that they backed off there so that he and I could fight together where he and I could fight on our own rather these became Calamity Ganon pretty much the dragon that encircled the castle before I can like figure at least looked exactly like that but now there's no way to like stop him he's just gonna keep coming back if he's Immortal I don't know what's gonna happen now how do you kill a god today we fell a God and then sees our destiny but seriously now what also this loading screen is longer than I uh I think any of us in oh I see oh boy demon dragon [Music] wait am I gonna have to run along this Dragon to kill him yep that's me oh hell yeah oh my gosh wait I thought I was gonna have to climb along Ganon to kill him but well not kill him I guess if how do you kill something that is immortal you know this is an incredible way to end a game [Music] just the fact that Zelda's showed up too and her draconified form [Music] now that's a shot holy okay I'm ready holy this is so cool I got a little emotional when Zelda showed back up again to help now what holy sh okay jump off I don't have my sages I just tried to use toolin's thing come on Ganon all right I'm on oh I got my hearts back at least This is Gonna Hurt oh God go go go go go oh I can't climb okay I know what to do now but I'm just gonna need to aim my jumps a bit better where's Zelda this is incredible this is amazing [Music] thank you Zelda okay this is genuinely this might be one of the best Final Bosses in Zelda history there's just so much behind this that works so goddamn well hello oops thank you I'll be on my way the breath of the Wild theme comes in ganon's theme ow ow Zelda here come to me this is incredible this feels like something I dream about I I can't believe they actually did this this is that's okay Zelda I got this okay all right all right it's two I'm like I said that it feels like a dream it really does it feels like this this kind of boss fight is just improbable the verticality of this game's world seems impossible and I don't know I still have no idea how they pulled it off on the hardware that they did but damn it it's just I can't believe this this is amazing it's the spectacle of the Final Phase of Calamity Ganon you know dark beast but it's it actually requires like some thought to land where you need to be timing like I'm pretty sure ganon's gonna escape this I don't think I've made it in time here maybe maybe though oh yeah okay hold on I think I made it boom oh right in there but also just the build up to this the the the fact that you're you don't get lose like Gannon doesn't lose health because you uh awoke the sages instead the Sages they they just they Bank on the the reliability of the sage abilities but then when they come in to help you they just deal with Phantom Ganon and then let you and Ganondorf fight one to one and that is just way better than what calamity Gannon did it felt a little anti-climactic to some extent I didn't put that in the video though because it kind of betrayed the ending holy that's that the piano at the end there is beautiful too [Music] I don't know there's a lot that made this boss work mechanically speaking Maybe there are better bosses in the series I think this boss had a lot more weight then uh Calamity Ganon did uh there was a lot of emotional payoff cry it works really damn well it's just a foil to link mechanically and you can approach it whenever you feel ready just like clam it again and the only thing is they don't tell you right away where Ganon is which I think is a smarter way to structure the game holy well I guess that's how you kill that which is that which cannot be killed wait yeah what about Zelda it's so tragic she had to just wait for link for 10 000 years she sacrificed and suffered so much throughout both games but now it's finally over wait oh man oh my God [Music] you better catch her you better catch her oh I gotta catch her that makes sense you better catch her when she dies I'm not gonna let her die I wonder what happens if she hits the ground [Music] I got you I'm almost there [Music] foreign to the same pool you land in when you first enter Hyrule he still did sacrifice a lot though regardless of if she was conscious or not you're home Zelda oh okay keep it together talk about the game don't cry yet huh okay I'm like I'm shaking that was so much fun yoya Sato I'll have to look up yuyasato um because assistant director this no small feat especially on a game like this thank you fujibayashi once again wow all the designers programmers especially the programmers holy you guys are insane you've created something kind of wonderful here I don't think I've ever really experienced anything quite like it that could be applied in like a single player game and not like a core sandbox experience like Gary's Mod or something okay okay I gotta talk about the game um obviously I'm not done with it yet there's still a lot more that I want to do I want to eventually get everything uh on the save file and I don't know how long that's gonna take I'm gonna probably just chip away at it right this is something I'm Gonna Keep playing for a long time I'm gonna learn a lot about it um it has a strong amount of replay value in comparison to breath of the Wild to put it bluntly this is this was an incredible game and but just the way it follows up on breath of the Wild's world so perfectly without it feeling super redundant um in terms of design that's phenomenal I don't even know how they pulled that off how do you take the same world and reinvent it to make it feel so fresh not once was I like I've been here before I'm bored I was always so engaged in what was going on the new ways of interacting with the world it felt like essential to do away with the runes and just Implement what we have now and these items that you get are so widely applicable across everything everything to the point where Zelda's items are applications for said abilities with your arm right we saw the unique applications throughout like the dungeons themselves which by the way the dungeons were incredible they were a massive improvement over the beasts um the fire temple is probably my favorite the the lightning Temple came very close the wind Temple was good the water temple was okay uh I think that one still felt a little it felt more like a beast uh in terms of structure and the final boss of the dungeon muck to rock is very annoying but these were way better either way the the champion abilities also present like a unique opportunity both in the lead-up to the dungeon and in the dungeon themselves for solving puzzles it reminded me of getting a new item in a previous Zelda game but rather than caving and doing exactly like what what previous zeldas did they implemented that feeling into a non-linear dungeon especially in the case of the fire and lightning Temple but you know the wind Temple as well and water temple to an extent not really but mostly the fire and lightning Temple when I was talking about how interconnected the puzzles were it was brilliant to see like this non-linear game have cohesion and that is what I think this game does far better than breath of the wild at the heart of it is that despite how open-ended and how free you are to explore everything you still learn things and learn new new ways to experiment with your items and Stitch things together and whatnot like no matter where you go you're learning something and it's like oh I can use this in a new way um in the shrines in the previous game it was like here's a puzzle involving your runes but they don't really always apply to the open world like at all because they're completely disconnected they only come back up again in Divine beasts which by the way are just like we threw five shrines into one or something like that which was disappointing disappointing but I swear if you didn't like breath of the wild you should play this game and I mean if you watched me play it and maybe it convinced you maybe I'm convincing you now I don't know how I'm gonna edit this reaction together I I recorded my entire playthrough up to this point at least that's bringing me back flashbacks to E3 2019 there needless to say I mean like I I loved this game uh it I think I like it more than uh I'm gonna screenshot this show it to my brother um I think it's better than breath of the wild and are things I prefer about breath of the wild but I think this just based on how it utilized that non-linear structure to the fullest extent and still manage to feel both like a classic Zelda game but also true to Zelda itself true or deselda itself then even breath of the wild was and when I say that I mean like in how you can figure out the solution to a problem those those moments of realization where you're like I can do this that's what this game is driven by everything about it everything about it in the central mechanic of it just sticking things together and seeing what works the the disparate information coming together to create something you know a solution that's Zelda I I absolutely loved this game I I loved it so much I right now I don't know if things are gonna change in the next few years and I don't plan on making a video on this game for a long time I gotta spend some time with it on my own especially because I'm I'm not done I got shrines to find you know I got things to do quest to solve in many ways it is distinct but it also does eclipse breath of the wild I have to be honest um there are things both games do better in their own right I think the core combat of breath of the wild based thanks to the runes is just better you know there are small things here and there I guess even when my plans failed I was having a good time you know what I mean the whole thesis of this game was that you're never alone in contrast to breath of the wild where a lot of the time you felt so alone and like you couldn't there was no one in your corner to help you because you were just kind of restoring this world on your own and they were like towns everywhere where you might encounter other people but you were able to see how people were continuing after tragedy and that was poignant in its own right but now they have rebuilt so even though there's Devastation once again it doesn't feel as Barren especially when you get the sages by your side you're you're never alone [Music] foreign
