 Hey everyone, in my quest to always keep you as up to date on everything Tears of the Kingdom, we have come across some new information coming directly from Nintendo through a survey that Nintendo has sent out to some people. Now this survey doesn't contain, I would say, big spoilers or anything so you're not going to have to worry about all the stories ruined for you, but there are some things that are confirmed in this that people were speculating on and there is some additional information on the direction of Tears of the Kingdom that I think some people will be highly interested in. So I did find this over in the Nintendo Switch Reddit, it was actually posted over on the Zelda Reddit, but we're going to go from here and it says please watch the following video which across was the trailer about the Tears of the Kingdom and then we get to the next slide here and it says a new game called the Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom will be released in May 2023 for Nintendo Switch, it is the sequel to the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, have you heard of it? Okay, not that big of a deal, nothing new there. Then here are some statements about the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom having watched the video, what do you think about each of these statements? It will be much bigger than the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, it will be better than the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Okay, not much in there Nintendo, obviously trying to get some pretty exact reactions. Here are some features now, here we get to features, please imagine that you can choose which feature should also appear in the sequel, the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom which feature would you most like to include? Now, are they teasing features that all of these features are in there? Because remember, the game comes out in like three months, they're obviously not going to be adding a whole lot more to the game at this point because they're kind of finalizing things and polishing the game. However, it's interesting that these are the features they're listing as possibilities for the game. So collect and manage weapons, armor and resources. Okay, this is something that we did in Breath of the Wild, play for hundreds of hours and learn to enjoy the vast amount of content in the game. See how the environment reacts realistically to your actions, making a bridge from a fallen tree, as an example. Follow your own path and choose what to do in the next game. Enjoy the unique art style and atmosphere. Use ancient technology to interact with the world, to move objects, stop time, and create platforms. Create platforms. See, we saw the move objects thing, we've seen the time stopping mechanic, but creating platforms? That appears to be something brand new here. I don't recall any evidence of us being able to create platforms. So that's very interesting. That must be one of the new abilities in the game. Next up, it will include new and interesting ways to interact with the world compared to Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Obviously, some answers there. It will have the best story and atmosphere of any game in the series. See this statement here I find to be very interesting because to me what Nintendo is putting out there and at least the Zelda team is saying we think that this is the best story and atmosphere we have ever put in any Zelda game ever. And we want to know if you agree at this point. Some of these questions I think are hard to answer. If you haven't played, you're just watching a trailer. But I do think it's really interesting that that seems to be a massive goal for them. They want this to be the best story and atmosphere they've ever done in Zelda. And I guess we're just going to have to wait till May 12th to see if they pull that off. But I am very, very happy to see that this was a huge focus for them for Tears of the Kingdom. This was never in any of these survey questions for Breath of the Wild. So definitely something that they are emphasizing this time around. Next up it says, here are some of the new features. Here we go. There's some new stuff here. Which features sound most interesting to you? All right, so you can battle against new types of enemies, both large and small. Explore completely new areas, islands floating in the sky, as an example. Build and ride new types of vehicles. So yeah, we clearly get to build those vehicles. You know, there were some questions. Is it really a custom build mechanic? Do we put it together? Do we just bring it to somebody else and they're pre-built stuff? We get to build and ride those vehicles ourselves. So that kind of answers that question. There is definitely a building mechanic for those vehicles in the game. Not just a collecting and someone else does it. We build it. So that's really cool. Rediscover the land of Hyrule and see how old locations have changed. Use new abilities to manipulate your surroundings and interact with objects. Experience the dark and thrilling atmosphere. This is Nintendo again referencing that this is a dark Zelda game. A very dark Zelda game. Nintendo made a reference to this one other time and now here they are again. They know. They know this game is dark and that was a goal from the get-go. Follow new and engrossing stories set in the land of Hyrule. And again, another emphasis on stories. So you see the emphasis on atmosphere and story. I just want to point out we usually never see an emphasis on story and atmosphere from Nintendo even when it comes to Zelda. And they are hammering that home. They must have spent a lot of time focusing on that in development. Alright, do you want to discover a vast open world filled with the wonder and surprise in the Legend of Zelda series of the Kingdom? You have the freedom to explore a newly transformed land of Hyrule. Visit diverse environments from the previous game and see who inhabits them now or take to the skies and discover an array of new extraordinary islands afloat above. How do you like it? So this is interesting because it goes into the exploration of the newly transformed Hyrule. They don't talk about the underground here that some people think is confirmed to exist. So I'm curious if there really is a lot going on under there. But hey, this is a poll question. Next up, do you want to experience an epic story? Again, another focus on the story of good versus evil. The Legend of Zelda tears of the Kingdom. You embark on a grand adventure that pits Link and Zelda against a dangerous force. Very interesting and Zelda. So maybe Zelda doesn't die or maybe Zelda's playable. A lot of people are going to take this quote and pretty much just put their own thoughts and theories into that. Your loyalty to each other will prevail. So we do prevail. I guess you can call that a spoiler I suppose. We win in the end. I mean, that's been true of every Zelda game. But still, in a story that occurs after the events of the previous game, you encounter many thrills and fears on your quest to save the land of Hyrule. Alright, next up, do you unlock your creativity and imagination in the Legend of Zelda tears of the Kingdom? You will discover the power to solve puzzles in quest YOUR way. Experience with many materials, weapons, and other items you find and collect, some of which are unique to this game with your new abilities. You will master surroundings and can achieve anything. Very interesting. Before the release, which are the following, if any would you like to do? And this is interesting because they want to, this might be a marketing question. Hey, we want to know what should we be showing about this game before launch. They're asking fans directly. So do you want to learn how to compare to the previous game? Do you want to watch a recap of the story of the previous game? I think that's something that they should probably do. They should probably do a recap of the story for people who never really got the full ending. Avoid any spoilers about the game. I know there's a lot of you that this is it. Forget about it. I don't need to hear anything else. Play more of the previous game, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Learn about things that might have missed in the previous game, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Pre-order the game if there is an attractive offer. I mean, it's $70, so whatever offer I guess you think is attractive for that. Check reviews of the game before deciding whether to get it. Some people do wait for reviews, or buy or receive the expansion pass of the previous game of Breath of the Wild or none of these. So just kind of some interesting stuff they're looking at here. You know, nothing that's that big of a deal. All right, get him back into this. It says before the game's release, which aspects would you like to know more about? And then it gets into aspects of the game. So you may choose up to five. This person just selected everything, but customization options. Puzzles and shrines. Is this confirmation shrines are back? This might be the first confirmation of shrines are returning. They haven't shown any shrines that we're aware of. And yet look at this. Puzzles and shrines. Guys, I think shrines might be coming back in a new way. I guess we'll have to wait and see. The environments, the advanced tips and tricks, enemies, overall size of the game, abilities, story and characters. I get with the story, man. Beginner's guide how to get started, quests and weapons. So again, this is kind of the big new information on this slide here is the shrines appear to be coming back. That seems to be confirmed here in this survey. So let me know if you guys got this survey. I did not receive this survey, unfortunately, but I have had it confirmed from multiple people who did get it just to know that this isn't like a one off thing or someone who made this up. This is a real survey. Nintendo sent out to some people post Nintendo Direct as they're looking to get specific feedback on how to market the game, what things people want to know about the game, what are they most excited about the game, what are the most worried about the game, etc, etc. And through that we gained some new information. You guys, let me know what you think about this new information down in the comments below. I'm just happy and thrilled to bring you guys some updated stuff, the latest and greatest on tears of the kingdom. You guys are amazing. And you know what? I'll catch you guys tomorrow as we get back into our standard work week. Or I'm back on camera. We got live streams, we got podcasts, we got lots of news coming your way. Catch you in the next video.
