Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - 10 Things We Learned From The New Trailer

10. The Changing Of Seasons

Brown leaves! Yellow leaves! Green leaves! These are, by far, the best-looking leaves in all of Zelda history. The new trailer opens with a shot of a bunch of trees, only for a fade transition to reveal trees that look way more autumnal.

The obvious interpretation (and probably the most likely) is that the world of Breath Of The Wild will be subject to the changing of the seasons. If Nintendo really wants to create the feeling that the world is a living, breathing character of its own, what better way to do that than to show the world itself experiencing the passage of time.

Alternatively, it's possible this is an indicator that we'll be playing parts of the game set in a different time period. If you look carefully, the trees between shots aren't the same. And with the plot being centred around a version of Link who has been asleep for a hundred years, it's possible we'll get to see Link's past firsthand.
