I come back just to feel something.

From “It’s dangerous to go alone” to “You are not alone” … right in the feels

This game launched when I was suffering extreme health issues and honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to survive 2023. I had pre-ordered this game so I would have something to look forwards to between hospital visits. Nearly one year later, I’m basically a brand new person with a second chance at life, and Tears of the Kingdom was with me the whole time. This game will forever remind me how lucky we all are to still be here today.

Even though the game is 7 months old now I still get chills as the music kicks in when Link is diving. One of the best game trailers ever.

The best thing about Nintendo trailers is that they never exaggerate anything. What you see is exactly what you get. And all I'm seeing right here is perfection.

Now that the game is out. I cant believe how much TotK makes BotW feel like a first draft. What an absolute masterclass.

Hard to believe this trailer is one year old and the game is NEARLY the same age. This game was such a joy and I actually cant believe I was sitting there watching this one year ago. Happy birthday to that damn saxophone lol

STOP I CAN NOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT THIS WAS MADE A YEAR AGO I LOVED THE GAME I STILL RAVE OVER IT

Once that classic zelda theme song hit full throttle i couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

Even though this game didn't win goty, it doesn't change how much of a masterpiece this game is. For me, this is the game of the decade so far.

Almost 150-hours of gameplay later: I just watched this again and got chills at all the same places as the first viewing. This was my GOTY and is my favorite game of all time.

The composer deserves so much praise. That saxophone is incredible.

This game actually launched on the day where I had the worst panic attack of my entire life. My mental health was at an all time low and finally getting the game I had waited so many years for was the only thing I was happy about. When I finally got to my dad’s house, I was able to play the game with him watching. I just want to say this game might single-handedly be the reason I’m still here.

The day that TotK came out, I drove to one of my best friends' house to experience the game for the first time together. On the way there I drove with my windows down blasting this trailer's music as loud as my car could handle and just shaking with excitement. That was one of my best days in recent memory and this music will always give me chills as I remember it.

When Ganondorf said. "Do not look away, you witness the Game of The Year's revival." It hit hard.

Give the composers all the love and the recognition they deserve. The work they did on this ost is outstanding

6 months has passed and still, whenever I watch this trailer, I can't hold back my man tears. This is just so beautiful. It's a glorious celebration of all the Zelda games that we had since day one.

It’s been a year…..the Totk hype made feb (second trailer) march (gameplay demo) April (final trailer and UKpostsrs playing early) may (release) June (beat the game) it makes me nostalgic for something that happened only a year ago!

This trailer gives a major “This one’s for the fans” vibe, especially near the end. Brings tears to my eyes

How this soundtrack bridges the sparse themes of breath of the wild into the classic themes is so absolutely amazing. It really seems to emphasize BotW having been about letting go and impermanence and TotK being about rebuilding, restoration and renewal in my mind. I can’t remember the last time a trailer got me this excited about an upcoming game, this looks flat out mind blowing.

two weeks until this is a year old, i miss that time of my life so badly

Came back to celebrate this masterpiece 1 year later.

i love how the newer heroes like sidon and riju are playing a more important part in the story, it’s like a new generation of champions coming together

Seeing Sidon, Riju, and Teba’s son makes me even more hyped for this game to come out ❤️

This trailer should go down in history as what a good trailer looks like. Everything in this is epic and even now after all the hype and after the ending of the game, I can still come back here and get teary eyed, goose bumps and still feel massive excitement over the building music. What a game. What an event to have lived through.

happy anniversary to all who celebrate

Seeing all the main characters fighting alongside Link is insane. The enormity of the threat to Hyrule feels so much greater than what happened in BoTW. I cannot wait to play this.

The Zelda team is like an endless well of unprecedented creativity that never runs dry.

One whole year ago already. I vividly remember watching the livestream on the way home from Uni. I cannot believe it’s been this long.

This turned out to be my favorite game of all time 😭

I already own the game and have put nearly 50 hours into it over the last 4 days since it came out. And yet I still find myself coming back to watch this incredible trailer in my free time

The hype building up to this game was already huge before this and this just took it to an INSANE level

I come from the future to tell all of you that this game is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece...

I’ve probably seen this trailer 20+ times and it still hits so hard… May 12th can’t come soon enough

I’m gonna make so many contraptions, thingamabobs, and doohickeys with the fuse ability. I can’t wait

This trailer is now 1 year old 😢 feels like yesterday I was hyping up about this trailer and not being able to sleep because I was so excited for this game. How time flys

What I would give to forget every single thing about this game and do it all again!

“Link, you are not alone” and then showing him fighting with others like makes me so happy because there are so many moments in BotW where it feels utterly lonely (which isn’t a bad thing but it was the first 3D Zelda without someone like Navi, King of Red Lions, Midna, or Fi). Seeing him fighting a *normal* enemy with Sidon makes me think we will have a lot more moments with other characters.

As a father. My kids are 17, 12, and 9 now. My 17 year old games and Breath of The Wild was the game that became her medicine after her mother died a few years before the game came out. Seeing my 11 year old at the time, pick up a controller, turn on the Wii U and just find herself in a open world, and find that curiosity shine through her head is something you never forget. Breath of the Wild helped her figure out something in herself and let the grief of death go. It’s definitely hard to watch her go to college with Tears of The Kingdom on her side making her mom proud as she expands her world at Stanford.

Even if Tears of the Kingdom didn't earn the title of Game of the Year 2023, it's a GoTy in my heart

This trailer is one year old already and that saxophone at 2:10 is still an absolute banger as always.

Having just beat the game at nearly 100 hours, this trailer still gives me chills.

Thank you, Nintendo... This game... Oh my god... That final battle.... That final sequence... One of the best games of my life.

Still shocked that this trailer is nearly a year old now... I remember I finished my first year of college and then a week later, this game came out and I didn't step outside for like a solid week because I was grinding this game with no guide. I also bought myself the OLED switch to go with it and I still don't regret it. I use it almost every single day and it reminds me to never give up and enjoy life because we will always end up going back and remembering the good times and smiling because they happened. I also had a previous comment on here saying that it would be the game of the year. Although it wasn't fully true, it was action-adventure game of the year which was still pretty much a given for the nominees. I am still just in awe that this game exists and what I've been through while playing. The Depths being an addition, going through the sky-islands, experiencing the grand world of Hyrule one more time, seeing freakin' PURAH, learning about the Zonai people, and seeing Ganondorf's new design and also his boss fight was so memorable. I love this game and if I ever have a kid, I would show them that this is how you make a sequel to an already great revamp to a legendary game series. God bless this amazing game for everything it did for me. Can't wait to see where Nintendo goes from here on Zelda games...

You've done it. You've finally climbed to the top of Mount Lanaryu, the top of Death Mountain, to every sky island, to every shadow of the Depths, cleansed the Demon King a million times. A year. Be it 10,000, be it more. You have **slain** the darkness. The malice, the gloom. No foes stand in your legend. ~The Legend of...~ *[Your name here.]* Happy Anniversary, Tears of the Kingdom Trailer 3, and may you go down in glory Epic Sax Guy.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a trailer this much in my life. It’s incredible. And what’s even crazier is the game LIVED UP TO IT. The wait was long but it was WELL worth it!

Its been almost 3 months and I still shed tears at the crescendo... This game is a masterpiece

I had a strange feeling after jumping from the Great Sky Island to Hyrule for the first time. Once i reached earth, after swiming... i felt like Home. Like i have returned home after a long, long trip. Incredible feeling.

1 year since this masterpiece dropped

This SOUNDTRACK is so amazing, Nintendo NEVER misses with their OST’s, the amount of passion and care you can hear through their playing is absolutely phenomenal

I never really doubted that this game would hold me for another 100+ hours, but this just confirmed it. Seeing Ganondorf yelling took me back to my childhood, sooooo good.

One year!!! The best game of my life

Sometimes I wish I could play this game for the first time again.

35 years playing this series, and the music still gets me everytime. It's like playing it again for the first time at my friend's house, and being blown away all over again.

This was all I needed. No huge dialogue. No crazy transitions. Just scenes from the game, the amazing score and very emotional single lines. I’d put this as a top 3 Legend of Zelda trailer

The game did it. It lived up to this trailer. Incredible.

My cousin and I were best friends all the way from birth and bonded hard over playing Zelda together. Over the years we grew distant, but that part of us always stayed true. He passed away several years ago due to health complications, and that was right around the time BoTW was released. I just remember thinking, "Man, he would have LOVED the way Zelda turned out with this one." And now, with ToTK, I couldn't even imagine his reaction and the amount of time we would have shared together with this game. It's amazing how simply a game can bring people so close and create fond memories to look back on. This is for the ones who never got to see this game in their lifetime and for the ones who still have the chance to create memories over such an amazing title. Long live Hyrule!! 💚💜

the composers did something amazing with this trailer. This feels like a tribute to every zelda game made. This is something magical to behold

Watching not just the other heroes but normal people fighting alongside Link was very exciting. The phrase "but you are not alone" has a true meaning this time.

I love how we regularly come back to this trailer because it's amazing, but also absolutely accurate. I'm both reliving the entire game experience AND the trailer first time chills.

I came back just to listen how hard they dropped this trailer.

At 2:09 when Zelda says "Link" and that music kicks in just gives me chills it is amazing, all of the music and dialogue.

Its rare a franchise can keep you excited for 20 years but to make you more excited with each generation is unheard of

No matter how many hours I put into totk, their is always something to do. I love zelda

This still hits almost a year later. Nintendo really cooked with not only this trailer, but with this game

Feels amazing to see Ganondorf back and looking fresh. Last time we saw him in a mainline Zelda was Twilight Princess *16 years ago*

This is one of the best trailers I've seen in a long time, the amount of emotions I experienced during this are crazy

i still get cold chills everytime i watch this

Saxophone still hits my soul man. Playing this in the car

Still watching this even though I’m already playing the game. This trailer was really emotionally and incredibly epic!

The raw energy and hype when seeing Ganondorf, and that Zelda theme kicks in is UNREAL!! This is already my game of the year!

I come back to this trailer and remember when I watched it for the first time in school with my friends, I miss the hype for this game so much, after beating the game in 2 weeks my life felt incomplete again

to think that totk has been out nearly a year is just insane to me, i can't wrap my head around it

Whoa! They saved EVERYTHING for this trailer! 1 month to go!

Bro can we just admire how Zelda trailers go so hard, not just with the way they are edited but the outstanding music composed for them.

Not a year left, 39 mins! It came out at 10:00 AM on April 13 2023, the same day I watched Mario movie

Even after 10 months, when the original melody drops i get goosebumps and wet eyes, this may not have been the most inovating game ever but sure had some of the best trailers of zelda history

I've probably watched this 90 times already. I'm glad Aonuma got his wish. The skydiving looks incredible. Everything looks incredible.

That was an incredible trailer oh man

still my GOTY

Although this game didnt win goty, it still did in my heart. This is one of the best games I’ve ever played and I hope in the future people will remember it for the masterpiece it is.

The fact that 3 simple notes make me tear up says a lot about this franchise

This game came out the day before my wedding, and joined us on our honeymoon. Months later I still look back to this game as a reminder of the best week of my life. This game will always hold a special place in our hearts

NOMINATED FOR GAME OF THE YEAR 2023!!!!

Sometimes I come back to this just to feel something. I really miss how exciting it was when this trailer first came out. I probably watched this over 100 times before the game came out

I played 98 Ocarina of time with my mother. I couldn't read the textboxes because I was too young so we played the game together. She loved it! My mother passed away this year and Tears of the Kingdom will release on her birthday. What an awesome take of destiny it would be, if the story we startet together would end on her birthday in the year she died. Thanks for everything Mom❤ I will never forget the days we spend on Ocarina of time. The Zelda franchise is truly something else.

Ganondorf's reveal is one I cannot stop rewatching. The music composition is spectacular, and for the first time in 17 years, I feel like a Zelda game has a true, terrifying villain. Ganon's appearance in BotW was.. fine, nothing spectacular, but I am so beyond excited to finally come toe to toe with Ganondorf once again.

One year ago already, I looked at the other comment I made during that time, it reminds me a time when this game didn’t release yet, where we still thought the arbiter’s grounds will return, goddess hylia will finally make an appearance, we saw Rauru and Sonia, but didn’t know who they were nor their name (if you were respectful to Nintendo and didn’t read the leaked art book of the game before release), when we were excited when these trailers confirmed our theories we had for years, the zonai’s involvement (I am still amazed to this day by us getting that right), and ganondorf’s return in a mainline Zelda game, not only that, but we got to see him in 2 forms we’ve never seen in the previous 4 trailers, regular rehydrated form, and that form, but even stronger, this trailer gives me so much nostalgia and yes it would be considered nostalgia by definition

hearing Mineru say “you are not alone” whilst we see Sidon fighting with Link is so special to me. Breath of the Wild was my first Zelda game, i knew basically nothing about the world. and Ruta was the first Divine Beast I completed. Sidon was so much fun to play with in Botw so getting to fight alongside him again was like a dream. the Sages were definitely my favorite part of this game. it’s pretty incredible how i actually missed fictional characters so much lol. it was amazing to reunite

The fact that they brought back the three-headed dragon from the original 1986 game is absolutely insane

"You are not alone" got me a little bit teary. I remember the longer I play BOTW, the more lonely I felt, what link used to know was mostly gone or changed, this is almost if not at all a whole new world to him and the duty to save the princess was essentially on him. The journey itself was a lot of fun, but it was lonely at the same time. Glad to hear Link will have some companies in his next journey.

Who's here 7 months after the release of this of amazing game. This was for me one of THE BEST game trailers ever and i love the music definitely one of my favorite games.

Sometimes i come back and watch this just to feel something

The themes, music score, just...everything feels like a "this is it" moment for Zelda. Like this is where all those branching timelines have merged into this one grand adventure.

1:38, 2:18, 3:07, 3:12 - 3:20 Seeing Link finally getting more aid and being the heart of Hyrule helping others, and Hyrule’s citizen helping him in return to push back Ganondorf’s forces are heartwarming! This is going to be an amazing game, so much to explore, so much to figure out the diversity in our combat and weaponry!

It feels so weird to miss waiting for a game so much. I miss the speculation and the trailers. Such a hype time.

I remember taking a personal day off from work just to go to the midnight release and pick up my copy, and stayed home playing it. That coworker who was by himself was pissed, but compared to the hundreds of times he ditched us, and had me cover for him, compared to the rare times I did, I felt staying home for this was worth it

I GIVE THIS FINAL TRAILER A SOLID 10\10!!! 🤩

11 months ago, and this is still so epic

hope it wins game of the year edit: congrats to baldurs gate 3 btw
