The game awards have come and gone, but there's no reason to cool down the hype just yet. We just got a brand new trailer and gameplay segment for Breath of the Wild. Let's take a closer look, shall we? The trailer opens with this beautiful artwork of some storytelling on Parchment or Berlap that reminds me of the opening sequences of both the Wind Waker and Skyward Sword. The latter especially, I just really want to point out the Sheikah eye here and how the droplet forms the tear part of the symbol before falling, much in the same way as the Sheikah technology does in the shrines when Link gets a new rune ability. We get another shot of the trees here, and man, this game's nature just looks incredible. And notice something different between these two shots? It seems to imply that Breath of the Wild will have changing seasons, which is pretty cool. Next is another shot of some artwork which seems to show some sort of people farming, but it's hard to say if these are primitive people or hylians or some sort of other race that we haven't seen yet. If it is a new race, they're civilized enough to use farming tools and domesticated horses though. This sweeping shot near the Twin Peaks, which you may remember from E3, shows a man walking across the bridge here. It isn't Link, but a new NPC that we haven't seen before, and just guessing from his attire and spear or maybe it's a walking stick, he may be a hunter or traveler of some kind. And there's a ruined guardian, just thought I should point it out. That scene shows a conflict between two blue bokeblins and what seems to be two NPCs. Some have speculated that this is Link and a companion, but based on the clothes, this might not even be Link at all. Either way, the other NPC in the back seems to be fighting too and has white hair.  Or maybe I'm reaching on that one, who knows. So could we be getting travel companions in Breath of the Wild, or do we just randomly run into people that need help and help defend them from monster attacks? Here we get a good look at a settlement or village of some kind with a large structure that sort of reminds me of the Bazaar in Skyward Sword. And what's with the giant wooden horse head? Oh, and dogs confirmed. Dogs confirmed in Breath of the Wild. This is an important detail. The next artwork piece seems to hint at a fully realized city, not just small villages, as we see large buildings here lined up nicely. And could that be Hyrule Castle behind them? Possibly making this artwork depict in Castle Town? Moving on, we get a sweeping shot of a larger village. These two shots are packed with detail. We get banners, or maybe that's laundry, and we see villagers tending to crops. So for anybody who was worried that this game was going to be super devoid of life, we've got really big talents here. Moving on, whoa. First thing to note here is that Link has the Master Sword in its classic Skyward, but unlike the shot we saw at E3, the Master Sword is in perfect condition. Does this imply that we have to restore and revive it, much like we did in Skyward Sword and the Wind Waker? Or is this some sort of flashback or past time travel segment? And just who the heck is this guy? Here we see a large bird-like man fly through the air towards this flying ship. We'll get back to the ship in a moment, but first, let's talk about the birdman here. There's some theories flying about already, about who he is and what race he is. The most obvious answer would be Rito, the bird people seen in the Wind Waker. Since we've already seen the Koroks a race exclusive to the Wind Waker, I wouldn't rule them out based on the timeline. However, a lot of people have been quick to point out the many physiological differences between the birdman here versus the Rito. Well, I'm actually really on board with the idea of them being Rito to be honest, but that's just me personally. But here's why. The Rito are a race shown to have evolved quite a lot. Remember that they evolved from the Zoras, meaning that these are the same race. Fishman, birdman, same race somehow, I don't know. So if the race can evolve from fish person into bird person, who is to say they can't evolve further into even more different looking bird people. Plus, let's keep in mind what the Zora look like in the decline timeline. Even more different from their more modernly depicted fish people form. There are also thoughts that these bird people are descended from the loft wings who remained at Skyloft at the end of Skyward Sword, pointing out the similarities between the clothing designs of the Skyloftians and this guy. I'd also like to point out, and thanks to Darren, one of our copy editors at Zeldin former for pointing this out to me, that this could be the return of the Foka from Zelda 2, and oh my god, I hope I pronounced that correctly. But these guys were all hostile, so part of me isn't sure about this being the case. And what is this ship that he's flying up to? Well if you remember back from the E3 footage and trailers, there was this large floating object, and I believe this to be the very same one. Just look at the shape of them both here, even the round foot at the end. And hey, Birdman here has a design on his scarf that resembles the airship. Nice detail. And it seems that this giant airship that we're floating up to seems to be powered by Shika technology as well. Moving on, get a look at this next shot. What are the story implications here? It appears to me that this shows that these guardians are protecting Hyrule Castle as they're facing away from it and lined up around it. Or at least they were at some point and have been turned against the Hylians. For more information on how that theory could work, I recommend watching this video by Zeltik, which you can check out here. Immediately after we see Link battling some guardians, and hey, it looks like using the bow isn't the only way to take on these guys as it had previously been shown. But here Link takes a swing at it with his axe. This person. Who is this person? A lot of speculation points to it possibly being Zelda herself, though the clothes are definitely different than anything we've seen her wearing before. Well, look at what Link is wearing and try that argument again. We only get a glimpse of her here, but we see her blonde ponytail, some adventuring gloves and belts, and clothes that look similar to Link's champion shirt, but much more expensive and fancy looking. And what is she holding? Is it a Sheikah slate of her own? If it is, then could it be that Zelda communicates to Link through her own Sheikah slate? Keep in mind that it wouldn't be the first time we've seen something like that, as Tetra did use the Gossip Stone in the Wind Waker to do just that. And I always believe that to be of Sheikah origin as well, especially since they share a name with the Gossip Stones of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, which just happened to have the Sheikah tiering eye symbol on them. That can't be simple coincidence, right? The next shot shows what seems to be Hyrule Castle exploding? And yep, this is definitely Hyrule Castle as it shares an identical design to Hyrule Castle as seen in Twilight Princess. And the magic effects happening around here look to be the work of Calamity Ganon as well. Next is a look at what seems to be Castle Town in absolute ruin. How do I know it's Castle Town? Well look, it's right at Hyrule Castle. And just look, this appears to be the fountain from Twilight Princess's Castle Town, and even the banners are the same. Whatever happened here, absolutely decimated Castle Town. And look, Link is sparkling. I really don't know what to say about that. And here we see Link with Master Sword kneeling before someone. I'm also guessing this to be Zelda, or at least somebody royal and important, but the clothes are definitely different from the last time we saw her in this trailer. Or maybe one of them is Impa? But again, I wouldn't put much stock into what people are wearing as a way of identifying them. Again, just look at Link's outfit. So maybe these are two different characters, or perhaps she just changed clothes when going out adventuring. As here she's seen outdoors, while in the second shot, she seems to be in some sort of well intact castle. It's hard to say at this point, since in both cases, we don't get to see very much of them at all. And that's the trailer, a lot of detail packed in there, but we were lucky enough to get a second look at the game during the game awards, where Bill and Nate from Nintendo Treehouse sit down and play through a shrine quest. First thing to point out is that this guy, Cass, is another bird man. He appears to be the same race based on his clothes, and the fact that he's a giant bird man, but clearly his design is based on a different bird than the design basis for the bird man seen in the previous trailer. Which I'd like to add further to my Rito argument. If these two bird dudes can look this different from each other and still be the same race, why can't they be related to these guys too? And Cass here seems to be friendly, so it doesn't look like these bird people are enemies in Breath of the Wild either. And did anybody else notice that the music he plays on his accordion is actually the music from the E3 trailer? Let's have a listen. And watch what he's saying. He gives Bill a hint about where his destination is. Notice what happens next. The map doesn't immediately pop up. They actually have to go based on what he's saying. They don't go to follow a way point, but rather the player has to find their own way based on the clues given to them. It's a nice detail missing from most games these days and the total opposite of Dowsing and Skyward Sword, which I personally despised. Also it seems we're definitely off the Great Plateau at this point and rather in a more tropical looking environment rather than the forest we've seen so much of already. Bill is accosted by what appears to be a lasalphos and gets roughed up, so he opens his inventory to heal himself. And just look at all the stuff he has, there's so much customization of all his gear and ingredients that it would take ages to cover it all. And Link's outfit looks pretty great too, very combat ready. Bill's charge in tactics prove fruitless though as the lasalphos zap him to death. So Nate takes a more stealthy approach. And is he stealth swimming under the water? Since his head remains submerged and his stamina meter, which must be upgradeable since it has a second bar around the left side, drains while he does this. And this bit here is just kind of awesome, the combat looks great. And the lasalphos spring out at Link appear to have been camouflaged or as Bill says, and after Nate takes them down with some well timed flurry rushes, we get a good look at this big fella, who I think we've seen a similar enemy in the E3 trailer. Also notice how this big guy avoids the bombs that Link is throwing at him, demonstrating just how much smarter the enemies are in this game compared to previous Zelda games. When Link defeats him and picks up his weapons and loot, we get confirmation that this enemy is in fact Breath of the Wild's version of the Moblin. The segment ends with them avoiding going inside the cave to avoid spoilers, but we do get to see that there is another statue of Hylia tucked inside and glowing, just like the one seen inside the Temple of Time during our E3. And that about wraps up our analysis of the Game Awards trailer and gameplay footage. Did we miss any details and are you guys excited for this game or what?

The 19th century was a turbulent time. The turn of the century was marked by the Napoleonic Wars, which for more than a decade had tested the very balance of power maintained in Europe. Latin America, after decades of struggling under foreign rule, successfully vied for its independence. And by the middle of the century, much of Europe was being rocked in the wake of the democratic upheavals of the monarchies of Europe. The instability created from the events of the day was hardly the climate to foster great discoveries. But between the chaos and confusion, a handful of scientists attempted to peer back the veil of confusion and better understand the complex world that lay before them. Our story begins with a single man and a ship. In 1854, he set out on an expedition to study the natural history of the world and collect specimens for study and sail. Far from the conveniences of the modern era, expeditions in this time were dangerous. Just two years before, his ship burns in the Atlantic Ocean on its return voyage from South America, losing many of his specimens to the sea and leaving him adrift for 10 days before his rescue by a British-bound vessel. Although much of his four years of work had gone down with the ship, that wouldn't stop his desire to try again. On this voyage, while exploring an archipelago, he began to refine his thoughts on evolution and what would come to be his famous insight on natural selection. That archipelago, not the Galapagos, but the Mele archipelago, and the man's name, not Charles Darwin, but Alfred Russell Wallace, the man whose findings would start a race to claim the discovery of evolution. Wallace was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, and biologist. He had previously led expeditions in the Amazon, but his discoveries here on these collections of islands would come to define his legacy and the legacy of the man who he was forever in the shadow of. Over a period of eight years, he accumulated more than an astonishing 125,000 specimens, including more than 5,000 species new to western science. In his studies, Wallace noticed a striking pattern in the distribution of animals around the archipelago. He proposed an imaginary line that would come to be determined Wallace's line, dividing the region into two parts that marked the boundary between the animal life of the Australian region and that of Asia. One day in 1858, while feverish and confined to his hut on the island of Ternate, now in Indonesia, Wallace had a realization. He came to understand how species evolved. They changed because the fittest individuals survived and reproduced, passing their advantageous characteristics on to their offspring. Wallace began to wonder, why would there be such a distinct line dividing the islands and what led to the differences in species across them? Wallace immediately wrote to someone he knew was interested in the subject, Charles Darwin, unaware that he had been wrestling with similar notions for more than a decade prior. To understand why he did this, we'll have to take a step back. Charles Darwin was born in the winter of 1809, the son of a wealthy doctor and financier. In his studies at university, Darwin was fascinated by natural history and evidence for divine design and nature. After his studies and time spent mapping the strata, the orderly layers of sediment left over millions of years in Wales, he was invited aboard the HMS Beagle on an expedition to chart the coastline of South America. Despite his father's objections, who would prefer he follow in his footsteps into medicine, Charles Darwin set sail on December 27, 1831. The planned two-year voyage stretched on to five, while the HMS Beagle surveyed and charted coasts, Darwin spent most of that time on land investigating the geology of the continent and making additions to his natural history collection. Despite some previous work collecting beetles and marine invertebrates, at the time, Darwin was largely a novice in the nature of most specimens he collected, periodically sending them back to Cambridge for expert appraisal. After stops in Cape Verde in Brazil, the expedition moved southward towards Patagonia. It was here, in the cliffs of Punta Alta, that Darwin would make his first major discovery. The fossils of a huge extinct mammal beside modern-day seashells indicating a recent extinction with no signs of a catastrophe or drastic change in the climate, since many believed species largely didn't change and were perfectly suited towards their environment. For them to die out, their environment would have to change drastically to the point where they could no longer survive. So Darwin began to wonder, what had made these species go extinct? As he continued southward, more things began to stand out to him. He discovered seashells high in the Andes Mountains, where the ground had seemingly risen out of the ocean. But like Wallace, who would take an archipelago to reveal the truth to him? In September of 1835, the HMS Beagle landed on San Cristobal, the easternmost of the Galapagos Islands. On the islands, he noticed mockingbirds similar to those he had seen in Chile, but differing slightly from island to island. He had heard from locals that slight variations in tortoise shells could be used to tell from which island they originated, although Darwin failed to collect any of these shells. Despite having a liking for the taste of the tortoises held within. In fact, not even Darwin would realize the magnitude of his discoveries here until long after he left the Galapagos. So little did he think of his discoveries of slight differences between finch populations from island to island that he failed to make note from which island his specimens originated, later having to backtrack where they came from from the journals of his fellow sailors aboard the ship. Analyzing his specimens on the way home, Darwin had the first inklings of what would become his theory of natural selection. In his notes, Darwin wrote that if his growing suspicions about the mockingbirds and the tortoises were correct, such facts undermined the stability of species. Then cautiously added wood before undermined. The orthologist John Goode soon announced that the Galapagos birds that Darwin had thought were a mixture of several different birds were in fact all finches. Furthermore, Goode told Darwin that Galapagos mockingbirds from different islands were separate species, not just varieties of one. After conferring with the journals of his fellow sailors and allocating each species to islands, he first realized how their distribution changed going southwards. By mid-March of 1837, barely six months after his return to England, Darwin was speculating in his notes on the possibility that one species does change into another, in the geographical distribution of living species of numerous birds throughout South America. He further detailed his thoughts on sexual reproduction around variation and offspring to adapt and alter the race to a changing world, explaining his observations in the Galapagos. Darwin's findings remained unpublished as he worked on them for more than a decade. Today, there is debate over whether this delay was caused by Darwin's fear of being ostracized by society for going against the commonly held belief that species were fixed or whether frequent illness and work on other projects slowed his efforts. When Darwin's close friend and confidant Charles Lyell read a paper by Alfred Wallace on the law which has regulated the introduction of new species, he saw similarities with Darwin's thoughts and urged him to publish to establish precedents. Though Darwin saw no threat, on May 14th, 1856, he began writing a short paper which expanded into a full book. For years he continued his research, obtaining information and specimens from naturalists worldwide, including Wallace, who was working in Borneo. Racing to finish his book before it was too late, the next year, on the origin of species was published and proved unexpectedly popular. In the book, Darwin set out a long argument of detailed observations, inferences, and consideration of anticipated objections. Darwin's theory is simply stated in the introduction. As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive and as consequently there is a frequently reoccurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life will have a better chance of surviving and thus be naturally selected. From the strong principle of inheritance, any selected variety will tend to propagate its new and modified form. At the end of the book, he concluded that there is grandeur in this view of life with its several powers having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one and that whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved. The last word was the only time any variant of evolved appeared in the first five editions of the book. While Alfred Wallace has largely been consigned to the footnote of history, he continued to push the needle of human knowledge for decades and was elected to the Royal Society in 1893 for his contributions to the theory of natural selection. Darwin and Wallace continued to exchange communications and were even good friends sharing their discoveries until Darwin's death in 1882. Well, that's it for today on Everything Science.
