Despite running just 20 minutes, the Pokemon Presents event featured some big news, particularly if you’re a Sinnoh fan. The event saw the announcement of remakes for the original Sinnoh games, Diamond and Pearl, but more notable was Pokemon Legends: Arceus, a brand-new game set in the region.

In another shot, the camera pulls back as the character stands over a similar area, but this time with Mt. Coronet, the huge mountain in Sinnoh, featuring prominently in this shot, much as Hyrule Castle and Death Mountain did in BOTW’s opening. It’s also not unlike many of the moments you encounter in BOTW while playing:
