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

4. The Music Keeps Getting Better

A lot about Breath Of The Wild is a reinvention of modern Zelda. For one thing, there's a serious lack of hand holding, with players getting to properly control Link within minutes of starting a new game.

This had become a massive problem with titles like Twilight Princess and especially Skyward Sword, a game which saw upwards of half an hour of dialogue and cut scenes (with the occasional menial task between) before starting the game proper.

Another thing that has been radically changed is the music. It's basically unrecognisable as "Zelda" music, but it's absolutely breathtaking stuff, much more delicate and melancholy than anything that's appeared in the series before.

The music used in the latest trailer is no exception. The silence between the bird creature flying to the airship followed by the return of the piano is incredibly moving, continuing to build upon the idea that players will be exploring a world lost to time.
