RMCHOST
Wow.
RMCHOST
Also, we saw that, what's the town? Hyrule Castle Town? Yeah.
RMCHOST
It's now fully 3D.
RMCHOST
If you'll remember from the original game, it was pre-rendered backgrounds that you ran through, but now you'll be able to fully run through, and it will have new areas as well.
RMCHOST
One of the reasons I like Marvel movies a lot is because they, I feel, largely are not afraid to be comic book movies.
RMCHOST
They're not afraid, or they're not ashamed to be what they are in the comics and embrace that stuff rather than trying to be like, we need to... gussy this up for audiences and I think Nintendo does that a lot with their games when they bring them back they don't feel the need to do any of that stuff or they don't even have a desire to do it I don't know that they even really question that stuff because it's not really their DNA
Nikki HillPANELIST
I just can't wait to find out where the water from the fountain in the middle of Hyrule Castle comes from
Mom BrainHOST
i just wonder what gannon's up to
Scott TailfordHOST
It's, it's called like Castle Town.
Scott TailfordHOST
It's the little, the little town, the little village that's in front of, uh, Hyrule Castle.
Scott TailfordHOST
And, uh, during the presentation, they're like, "Hey, look, we've remade this entire, you know, town square.
Scott TailfordHOST
But also, we only had pre-rendered backgrounds in the past.
Sam ClaibornHOST
And no, like, somebody had to, like, completely make this game from scratch.
Sam ClaibornHOST
And I think the best example is, is, is the Hyrule Castle Town.
Justin DavisHOST
Yeah.
Sam ClaibornHOST
Like, that is unrecognizable except for who's there, where, like, you know, like the shops are, and then, like, but you know, it's, it's a, it's a com- you- it's not even built in any way related to how the original Castle Town was built, which is, like, a, a matte drawing, you know, made into pixels that has a fixed camera like Resident Evil.
Sam ClaibornHOST
Yeah, he can't climb everything
Justin DavisHOST
... sh- and, and, like, I'm trying to explain to her.
Justin DavisHOST
She's like, "So I can go to the Hyrule Castle that I see in the distance?" I'm like, "Yes, but also no." [laughs]
Sam ClaibornHOST
[laughs]
RizerHOST
So then all the
NoiseHOST
knights are in Hyrule Castle then?
RizerHOST
Yeah.
RizerHOST
Yeah, yeah.
11 MINS LATER
RizerHOST
When everything dies in one spin attack, no.
RizerHOST
But if you were speedrunning this game, if you were trying to, yeah, those seconds would add up.
RizerHOST
Oh, Hyrule Castle, like, all the doors are all the other... uh, stairs or whatever are blocked off.
RizerHOST
Like, uh, they, it is dungeon three.
Eiji AonumaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This large tapestry will gradually fill in, adding another fun element to gameplay.
Eiji AonumaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So, based on this, we should head to Hyrule Castle.
Eiji AonumaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Okay.
Eiji AonumaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, definitely.
Eiji AonumaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Okay, then.
Eiji AonumaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let's go inside.
Eiji AonumaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is Hyrule Castle Town.
Eiji AonumaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Hyruleans come and go through this bustling square.
RebeccaHOST
Well, we definitely want to talk about that.
RebeccaHOST
One of the biggest things for me, I think probably the highlight was Hyrule Castle Town.
DonnieHOST
Yeah.
RebeccaHOST
That to me was the moment that I said, this is really special.
RebeccaHOST
Yeah.
RebeccaHOST
you know, just the fact, and I was hoping so bad that, you know, we would have that full camera rotation of Hyrule Castle, but I feel like they went even beyond that.
RebeccaHOST
Like if you look, you know, when I was going back and kind of looking at it a little bit closer, there seems to be more characters with quest lines that are brand new.
RebeccaHOST
Like there's a lady standing there.
NBZHOST
obviously faster exactly exactly um but yeah now speedrunners have an even better option which is just dashing the whole time uh which obviously makes things you know much more much more fun and easier to get across that giant expanse and i do i do think that um you know we discussed this idea of the opening up into hyrule field and like how epic it felt in the original game when you were younger all that sort of thing and even though it is the same size i think they there's something they've done to make it still have that sense of grandeur it's the lighting it's the way that like things are framed in the distance it's the trees it's
BallyHOST
yeah it's really well done i'm i'm so shocked at how they've been with this perspective of stuff like Hyrule Castle, Death Mountain, and the other points of interest you can kind of see.
BallyHOST
And the hills are definitely adding something, and then that combined with the trees and the foliage, there is just like a...
BallyHOST
there is a level of depth to hyrule field but as you say even when you see the map it's obviously exactly the same size and exactly the same shape
Brian AltanoPANELIST
Uh, I, I think, um, you know...
Brian AltanoPANELIST
I remember when w- w- when we wrote the guide for the game, one of the areas that people got stuck on was specifically meeting, I think it's, uh, it's Malon, right? Like, you meet Malon in, um, uh, near Hyrule Castle, and, like, you had to-- in the original, you had to meet her at night.
Logan PlantHOST
Yes.
Brian AltanoPANELIST
Um, and people got stuck.
31 MINS LATER
Logan PlantHOST
So this entire LP is the DLC on side A and side B.
Peer SchneiderPANELIST
Mm.
Logan PlantHOST
And then we have, um, a disc with Calamity Ganon on it coming out of Hyrule Castle.
Logan PlantHOST
This is, like, boss battle music and, like, the finale of the game in Hyrule Castle.
Lawrence SonntagHOST
Run as much as you want.
Lawrence SonntagHOST
Oh, we get to see Hyrule Castle.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's cool.
Lawrence SonntagHOST
These environments had pre-rendered backgrounds on the N64.
Mark MitchellHOST
I'm guessing not that much, but would love for it to turn out to be the opposite.
Patrick EllersHOST
Then we get a call out here that the sun is setting and the explanation that time passes no matter where you are, which is a change from the original game when you were in the castle town or in Hyrule Castle itself.
Patrick EllersHOST
That time didn't pass.
Patrick EllersHOST
It was either day or it was night, and it would not change until you went back out again.
Patrick EllersHOST
into the field um uh and so they they say that time passes again uh no matter where you are and they mentioned that specifically in the context of hyrule castle town but do we also think they mean like when you're in a dungeon time keeps passing yeah i mean maybe why not i don't know especially once you're able to kind of like control that sort of thing yeah totally
Mark MitchellHOST
uh yeah
Patrick EllersHOST
And of course, they show us Link controlling the passage of time by playing the Song of the Sun and making the moon go down and the sun come up.
