A potential 2023 GOTY? | Trailer Impressions - Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

This is it. Another trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has finally dropped, one month before the release date, and I am very, very excited from what I've seen so far.
The new trailer is just short of 4 minutes, but it packs a lot, full of brand new footage that will surely leave fans excited and eagerly anticipating the release of the upcoming game.
TapTap
It is looking like Tears of the Kingdom will include a lot of much needed verticality in its gameplay, as one of the main focuses of the trailer is seemingly the floating islands that suddenly popped out of nowhere above Hyrule, brought forth by the awakening of Ganondorf and the ensuring war that broke out.
TapTap
The new added verticality will probably allow players to travel back and forth between sky and land: from what we've in the trailer, via Battle Royale-esque free falling and paragliding, as well as going back up via a rocket ships or some kind of magic sky elevators.
TapTap
Not only we are going to explore the sky above, but also a network of caverns deep underground, including lava-filled regions (probably under Death Mountain). It's looks as equally as interesting as the sky exploration aspect. The aesthetic for the caverns are predominantly red/orange and brownish and will probably house much of the more dangerous enemies in the game,  and we've also seen exploration and combat involving good 'ol mining carts .
TapTap
Much of the Hyrule landscape that we know and love have been mostly retained, so the setting has moved on to much more lower and higher altitudes. However, that's not to say nothing as changed on the surface: new or evolved settlements, camps, and strongholds are now present, as well as new mysterious structures and towers.
TapTap
Aside from the evolved landscape and new areas to explore, the combat of the game seems to be have been improved further, we have another footage of the new feature "Recall" mechanic here -- stopping thrown projectiles and throwing them back at enemies, as well as parrying enemies with a shield fused to a sword.
TapTap
The trailer also showed some of the potential bosses that players are going to be soon encountering. Including the return of Gleeok, a three headed dragon. We've also seen many new exciting platforming and puzzle sections -- again including verticality in the equation -- Platforming and puzzle sections in the sky above, navigating through Mission Impossible style laser obstacles, and paragliding in narrow passageways.
TapTap
So far, everything looks amazing. While the graphics are mostly the same --- understandably because of the aging hardware of the Nintendo Switch --- it at least looks visually as breathtaking as its predecessor, Breath of the Wild. Another Game of the Year for Nintendo this 2023? It's highly possible.

Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom (TOTK) Nintendo Switch
Nintendo has unveiled the final trailer for Zelda: TOTK and some excerpts from the game have been released, but what should we remember? 1: Graphics) The graphics have not evolved or changed very little but for a Nintendo Switch game of such magnitude, especially given the visual effects that the game will offer, it's already not bad 2: Powers) In this sequel to the hit game (Zelda BOTW) Link will have a glove that will allow him many more possibilities in the world of Hyrule including:

Another masterpiece for the Switch? | First Impressions - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an extraordinary game that once again, redefines the open-world adventure genre and what’s possible for the rather aging Nintendo Switch hardware. Developed by Nintendo themselves, this game takes players on an jaw-dropping journey through the vast kingdom of Hyrule, now with a much needed verticality, essentially more than doubling the play area. From the moment you set foot in (or fall down) the game's expansive world, you are immediately captivated by its breathtaking scale and attention to detail. The game is set in Hyrule again, with the same core map featuring familiar locations, but the world has evolved so much since we’ve last seen it. Both from a gameplay and story standpoint.
