So are the giant "colossi" (the flying bird ship, the crawler on death mountain, the desert camel) meant to be bosses... or like, do you actually go inside them, and they ARE the dungeons.
Each of them appears to have a humanoid figure on top of them (except Ganon in the center). Pilots?
Calamity Ganon appears to be flanked by Ganondorf (left) and Zelda (right).
So we saw the camel, the lizard and the bird.
Did the elephant appear in the trailers?
Yeah, I agree.
Maybe this too?

Yeah I noticed that too? Maybe each represents a different race between the bird people, Zoras, Gorons, and maybe Gerudo? (I'd think the Hylians and Shiekas would be separate in this case)
I brought this up on the last page tooSo we saw the camel, the lizard and the bird.

I think that is the camel in the image you posted, but it has fallen and now you can get directly inside.

How fucking cool is the idea that you have literal colossi that the traverse the world and you have beat them to enter the dungeon which is their corpse. Literally a child's dream come to life.

I just saw your post, indeed xD
So it seems like the dungeons/mech bosses might correspond with the major tribes of the game:
The Death Mountain frog - Gorons
The Desert Camel - Gerudo
The Hawk Warship - Bird Tribe
The Elephant - Zora
Since we see the symbols for at least two spiritual stones, there might be a corresponding sage for each tribe. And then we still have the Koroks.
The Death Mountain frog - Gorons
The Desert Camel - Gerudo
The Hawk Warship - Bird Tribe
The Elephant - Zora

yeah...basically. I think she cried when her
soul was ripped out by Demise
Was she...? I thought maybe she just stole a room from her dad's academy for the lawls.

That would be absolutely amazing and heartbreaking, holy shit. As you said, OoT Zelda would make sense for BotW's Zelda's dialogue, too. I'd also feel guilty throughout playing BotW, looking up at the tower and knowing that bright light is Zelda trying to hold Ganon back... while I messed around and started forest fires. Owowow.

This is what I was thinking. The Goron, Zora and Falco in the trailer were wearing blue similar to Link and Zelda. So I'm guessing they are key characters linked the royal family and are probably related to their regions "Colossi".

What's up with the Great Deku Tree in the trailer?
Maybe the "pilots" that are at the top of each guardian?

Not sure what you mean by this? I mean, we see him talking to link, and he also seems to be behind the master sword in the early shot of it, but beyond that?

He can just give her a few pats on the back I think...
Even though Link is mute, I'm sure they'll find a way to not make it awkward. As long as they don't do any of the things they did with Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword...
I've need to stop watching the trailer. It's the most epic video I've ever seen since 1987 when i started playing super mario bros.
Zelda TW trailer was also epic, but i didn't liked that game that much and still far from this one. It can hit the top on gameranking and beat OOT too.

I think I like the English VO better than the Japanese VO. Zelda's cry especially
been watching the trailer too many times, music is reaaaaaaally good!

Oh sweet, definitely making that second one my new wallpaper.
Yeah, and there are also Koroks at his side!
So let's talk timeline stuff some more.
Many of us are leaning more towards the downfall timeline. I agree. However I don't believe this is only directly 100 years since OoT, too much has changed. Castle town is in ruin but the temple of time is still in a good condtion compared to the rest of the OoT castle town. Then at some point the Hylian's moved and built a new castle and town, the one we see Calamity Ganon swirling over.
So my theory is that in the downfall ending of OoT the sages still do something. Link is dead but they still use their collective power to strip Ganon of his physical form. This new form Calamity Ganon, an evil cloud which alters shape, dissepears in a blast, destroying all of Castle Town from OoT, leaving only rough structures and outlines to decay and be overgrown by nature. Rauru uses the last of his power to protect the temple of time, but now that has begun to decay too. The surviving Hylian's move North and build a new castle and town, they incorporate Shiekah technology into their way of life and allow for Guardians to be their protectors. Unfortunately this peace doesn't last, Calamity Ganon returns and corrupts all Shiekah technology, turning the trusted protectors against the Hylians, laying waste to their new town. This is the 100 years earlier that is referred to in Breath of the Wild. The Link we play as isn't some previous hero, he is a new Link, he grew up in this time of prosperity. He faces the Calamity and fails. 100 years later, Breath of the Wild begins.
Anyway, that's just my crazy theory. It has its holes (clearly) and doesn't explain some things such as the Zora's looking like their TP counterparts or the fact that the Koroks are in here. But it's a working theory...

So watching the comparisons. In the english trailer the King says:
"You must save her, my daughter"
While in spanish the king says:
"Salva a nuestra gente y a mi hija"
(Save our people and my daughter)
Completly different messages right there. Those someone now what he says in the japanese one?
Hahaha, well, theres always the wiiu version lol

2:27 and 2:47 in the trailer might support the idea that we go inside. At least that's the impression I'm getting. I love the idea of these massive living? things being the dungeons in the game.
I wallpaperized these 2.
Any chance for a 1440p version?

The editing implied that he was the one that was doing the voice over, but after watching the trailer again, I'm pretty sure I wasn't playing close attention and that, that's not the case.
It's weird. He says そして 娘を救ってやってくれ, which is just "save my daughter" if not for the conjunction soshite ("and then", "also") before that which might imply it's a cut from a longer sentence.
So are the giant "colossi" (the flying bird ship, the crawler on death mountain, the desert camel) meant to be bosses... or like, do you actually go inside them, and they ARE the dungeons.
And those little things are Guardians, I take? OR are they the mini dungeons?

I don't think the source was much bigger than 1080.
So we agree to disagree of our own preference, Nintendo just have to put dual audio option and that's it no more disagrement.

One of Nintendo's best trailers.
To think I was worried that the game might not try to focus on Story.

Did you all follow the treehouse?
It's nice what he told about the horses you can tame, that they are different in strength or diffeculter to tame. I did this first in ultima online. And the feet animation from the horse are in sync with the sound.
Also when there is thunder, enemies or yourself could be hit by lightning when you're wearing metal things. So you need to change you're armor.
I wonder if it's possible to experience every details that they put into this game.

That was a great trailer. Thankfully, the wait is almost over.
Hah! You beat me to the punch. Was going to post this screenshot I took when I was checking out the trailer for any subtle details.
Just slightly before this scene, you see Zelda in front of Link potentially using her powers to save him or deflect/stop the laser. During this, his right hand is on the sword and he is knelt down. At the 3:13 mark below (might have to stop and freeze for the picture as it is quick), she ends up being behind him and he is able to get up (from what looks to be the same position as before). Looks like he is pretty weak at this point by the way he gets up, but he may have avoided the laser or was able to take (some of) it. You can see what seems to be remnants of the laser blast as well.
Not sure how Zelda ends up behind him though like that. Unless she figured the last resort was to use him as a body shield, even when he was exhausted
Given it's a trailer with pieces all around, it could just be some other point in the game.

The old woman says something kind of different in the Spanish one too.
In the English one she says:
"The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of calamity ganon."
In the Spanish one she says:
"La historia de la familia real de Hyrule es tambien la del cataclismo que se conoce como Ganon."
Translates as "The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the one of the cataclysm known as ganon"
So in the Spanish one Calamity Ganon is not mentioned, but Ganon which happens to be a cataclysm (an event).
The only part of the English VA that I didn't like was the old woman, she sounded too much like someone from a shitty fantasy movie. Japanese Zelda's crying was a little too much for me. I think most of the voice acting is going to be cheesy, but I'd rather have that then more text bubbles and flapping mouths.
On an unrelated note, does the theme at 0:48 of the trailer remind anyone else of the Uncharted theme?

I'd be surprised if you didn't see the same sentiment in the full script. It's probably arranged differently in different languages for lip synch or script pacing purposes.

German version says "Save my people and my daughter".
Yup. I hope the colossi are dungeons.
Looks like the 4 tribes created those giant robots to defeat Ganon but Ganon corrupted them or something.
I also think the colossi are a callback to the structure of the original NES dungeons, some of which are shaped like animals:
