Yea the trailer was sort of strange. The parts that reminded me of the kind of Valve-esque elements of Breath of the Wild (being able to teleport through the ground, repurposing gliders so that they now extend to high-altitude air travel with the floating islands, the water (?) gadget etc) were great. The parts that just looked like more Breath of the Wild were strange in that they actually seemed to appeal to the fears that people have been saying for a while now, I.E just exploring the same map again but slightly altered, having the same lack of enemy variety, etc.
I mean, I 100% don't think those will be actual problems with the game. I think Nintendo knows what they're doing with this game, the Zelda team is always very inventive and if anything they're pretty quick to respond to criticisms of their last game (sometimes by even going too far in the opposite direction, haha). But it really wasn't the best showcase of the game I think, even though I liked the trailer a lot. Like it literally ended on just the same Hyrule Field as BOTW, just now Ganon's Castle is in the sky, for the last 15 or so seconds of the trailer. That seems so memey, it's as if Nintendo wanted forum warriors to freak out with complaints
