2501
2501 (Zelda had burned through most of my childhood goodwill by the mid 2010s)
same; shadow of the colossus set me up to not enjoy twilight princess at all, I was pretty done, but with Iwata’s tragic passing I felt like Breath of the Wild was done in his tribute, so I was a believer.
My emotional response to this trailer was from exactly this:
- the music
- the slice of life perspective of townsfolk
y’all already know I am emotions-centric when it comes to this stuff.
I think that the theme and tone of the trailer is meant to make general audience feel tripped out by the music’s tempo change, giving a sense that what we are familiar with from before is being turned upside down. The previous game was a deconstruction and relatively calm setting that decayed over one hundred years or whatever, and now the action is rising and things are unraveling and intensifying in this sequel.
I held off from saying this earlier in the “should I buy a switch thread” but I definitely do not think that Nintendo’s next console will have 4k capability at all. The numbers just don’t line up, and remember how long it was before they switched to HD video.
2501 mistaken it for that… other woodwind instrument whose name I don’t know that shows up in every stereotypical desert theme. You know the one.
Are you thinking of Zourna? Zournas are gangster.
also used in Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess a bunch so that’s a fair guess– if it was meant to echo the zourna in those games that would make a lot of sense, and a lot more appropriate in medieval context– but I think that’s just why they may have used a saxophone: to show that we’re in the future now and there’s high technology happening.
I once got in an uber with a driver from kurdistan who was playing turkish zourna dance club pop music very quietly and I had him crank that shit to the max as we blasted it driving through venice with the windows down on a friday night. He did not speak english well at all and was very stoked that someone was into his music and knew Zurna by name. And yes, I only know it because of Nintendo music. I even found a zurna plugin for fruityloops 8 back in the day and used it to make zurna chiptune covers back in 2008 lol.
