10 Best Video Game Trailers Of All Time
2. Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
It's time to look at the next Nintendo project now, and while Mario certainly made an impression with his trailer, this reveal went a step further.
The debut of the Nintendo Switch had to have some good titles with it, so it made sense that the company would choose to create a new Zelda game. However, the LOZ formula was starting to grow stagnant, so Breath of the Wild had to do something to stand out. Luckily for fans, as soon as this trailer was released, they felt safe knowing that Nintendo was heading in the right direction.
This trailer plays with pacing so well, as it opens on some slow and peaceful shots of the Hyrule shorelines and the familiar image of the Master Sword. But, once Link is introduced, it steps up a gear, showing the sense of scale that this version of Hyrule will reach. Then like a perfect crescendo, each new moment piles on the drama, intensity and emotion.
It would also be remiss not to mention the breathtaking music that builds up just as well as the imagery. The combination of new music with classic Zelda tunes got fans feeling nostalgic and ready for the next step simultaneously, and it made this trailer an emotional experience for fans all over.
