And I've spent way too much of my life obsessing over the felt, textural differences to the OG 3D Zelda formula ( does its continuous world feel more literal and less strange without the game-y abstraction?! Does its open-air quiet and lack of area music lose some sense of otherness and myth?!).īut I bow to no one in my love of that legendary 2017 Breath of the Wild Nintendo Switch Presentation trailer (You've seen it 20 times? Pah! Welcome to one movie night at mine!). I'm one of those slightly torn Breath of the Wild admirers, a game I adored, then burned out on a bit. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I was as excited for the prospect of The Big Trailer as I am for the game proper.
Turns out it's so badass it doesn't really matter. Maybe I'd even cry at videos of them crying at their own crying, like that Bo Burnham thing (make the video guys and let's see!).Ĭonfession: I even downloaded and re-edited (!) the trailer in Premiere because I was Very Concerned that the visual cut to Link on the glider before that music eruption was too early and scuffed the drop. I've pored over its many musical references, watched all the reaction compilations and quiet-cried at them crying. I've made at least two non-gaming cousins politely watch it in my car before being dropped off home, but one said it was 'phenomenal' so it's okay. Several podcasts' worth (I know this because on the way to work I've been listening to a trailer music rip instead of vulnerable chats broken by mattress sponsorship). It got to a point where I thought - unironically, straight-faced - that maybe I'd seen it more than anyone else in the world, but I took a break last Monday because it was getting silly. I hear YouTubers boast they've watched it more than 10 times and laugh at their rookie numbers.
