Here’s a summary for anyone who can’t be bothered to watch the video:
- The ground level world of Hyrule has changed. We are invited to explore.
- The territories in the sky are called sky islands.
- You can reach the sky islands through various means that make use of Link’s new powers.
- For instance, if you track down an object that fell from the sky (a regular occurence, it seems), you can position yourself on top of that object and then, using a new power, reverse its motion, sending the object (and you) back up to the sky. (Think bullets flying back into the gun in Inception.)
- Another new power is called Fuse: You can literally fuse together any two objects to create something new. For instance, if you fuse a tree branch with a rock, you get a makeshift hammer - a significantly stronger and more durable weapon.
- In the video, you also see how Link fuses together three logs to create a little boat that can carry him over a river that would otherwise be too wide to swim across. He also attaches two wind turbines to propel the boat forward.
- By the same token, you can also attach said turbines to a plank and propel yourself upwards to a sky islands. You really get the impression that the only limit is the player’s imagination!
- The base robotic enemies that Link encounters on the sky islands are called Constructs.
- The glitch from Breath of the Wild where you could clip through walls is now an actual gameplay feature: Link’s new power “Ascend” lets you beam yourself upwards and straight THROUGH any given ceiling. If a mountain is too high to scale, look for a cave and ascend through its ceiling to magically morph yourself on top of the mountain!
Holy shit!
