Japan is real close to China geography wise: I bet most of you don't realize how close China and Japan are to each other:If you watch 'China Uncensored' which he is shadowbanned from most results:
According to China Uncensored and Sky News Australia:
you'll see that Xi Jinping has troops at 'ready to go' stage just short of action and Taiwan's airspace has been 'tested' repeatedly so they are all scrambling for defense and anybody who is paying a lick of attention knows the royal you know what is about to hit the fan.
As for Nintendo:
So regards to Nintendo's lack of any mentioning of Zelda's 35th I feel Nintendo see's all this and is pulling back. WAY back hence why they are updating their online stuff suddenly since it's far easier to do remotely then to give us Wind Waker HD or even a new Zelda game not related to BOTW2:
In fact as far as BOTW2 goes I'm thinking the same events are also stalling progress from Covid not being able to work together to the threats of war and economy going to shit. I believe a lot of backpeddling has been done and they are nowhere NEAR as ready as we believed.
That 1 minute trailer being not as impressive as the underground cave one shows to me that they scrapped a lot and they themselves DIDN'T seem enthusiastic showing it to us. I felt like they felt forced to show it to us and were not quite ready to.
I had a brainstorm recently and figured they may be making BOTW2 go partially or fully online so we can have the bigger worlds and complex storylines since they realized 2 things:
1: The Switch sucks for what they want out of it:
2: Chip shortages makes it too unknown to pump out an updated Switch and it will be the best compromise hence raising the online prices: I seriously doubt the N64 collection online is why they are raising the prices: This is more the likely explanation so we will be pacified.
If they admitted they were going to raise the fees to make BOTW go online it would enrage a lot of players just for one game. This is a good attempt to get on the fan's side so they can pay for the servers. If people don't want BOTW2 they can STILL have N64 games online. Also I think they know BOTW2's story will be controversial so that alone may anger fans for paying for online gaming.
What new enemies? All I see is variations of the same types: The worst offense: Bokoblins on a Stone Talus which immediately threw me off and I was like WTF and not in a good way. Makes it look WAY too Age of Calamity like in a not so good way!Makes me feel they have completely TRASHED the original physics engine that made the game so much innovating! The physics were pretty realistic in the first which lead to some rather interesting solutions to many puzzles not intended.
The first trailer was definitely on the 'serious' side and looked like it was setting the tone while this whatever it is you want to call it looked like any seriousness took a back seat approach. If the third trailer keeps this silly physics I may not buy BOTW2 and sit this one out which I am NOT saying this lightly.
Dad even thought it was silly and he has studied physics more then any of you or even I. The Talus thing was RIDICULUS and I was totally WTF'ed about it. I guess I'll have to explain it like to a 3rd grade kid.
Stone Rock when rises moves: Watch how stone monster rises in BOTW: Now picture Bokoblins on said monster and see where physics fail: Hint what would happen to all the monsters as soon as the Talus shits his back to sit back down?
