Nintendo noticed lack of fan enthusiasm in February 2023’s Zelda trailer
The Washington Post has published an interesting new interview with The Legend of Zelda director Eiji Aonuma which gives more of a perspective on the development of the critically acclaimed Tears of the Kingdom. One thing mentioned in the interview was the lack of enthusiasm for the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom trailer in February of this year, which if you’ve visited social media or forums, you would have seen a general lack of enthusiasm for the trailer produced. Nintendo picked up on this and decided that the trailer didn’t really explain the gameplay elements so they asked Eiji Anouma to do a short Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom hands-on showcase in March which showed fans Ultra Hand and Fuse as well as the Sky Islands, which achieved the results that Nintendo were expecting. Then they released the follow up pre-lauch trailer in April, which was excellent.
“Another hiccup came when the second trailer dropped in February, and the team noticed a lack of enthusiasm. “People had not gotten their heads around the gameplay elements or where the fun might be,” Aonuma said. Nintendo decided to feature Aonuma explaining the game’s concepts in a 13-minute demonstration, which did the trick” Washington Post interview
