There wasn't an audience though.

After Miyamoto dies there's gonna be no more recognizable (for mainstream gamers) Nintendo execs, gonna be interesting from a PR perspective.
Also, Nintendo just has to give their fans blue balls for each next-gen mainstream Zelda title for six years (four years in this video since the GameCube launch) and they'll get a huge reaction. Hard to gauge since these days people just pretend to react for clicks and Nintendo does all their reveals online now.

There was a thread on here some time ago that showed people waiting in line just to play BoTW at E3. Someone even did the praise the sun meme. LOL. I wish I could find it and link you to it. It was Nintendo's only thing they had to show during that E3. So that has to count right? People waited for hours just to play that demo.
I found it!

The only thing that'll get me out of my chair in hype for a Zelda trailer is a big-ass dungeon.

Not without Reggie and Miyamoto, they can't.

Is the question about generating hype or if they'll ever have a live show again?
I'd say yes to the first and no to the second. I mean, they literally just dumped the Switch 2 reveal trailer randomly on Youtube and got 17M views in like a day.

Trailer was nothing like the game though.
But it was 20 years ago, on stage with an audience. Won't come back.

This is what I wanted to answer with immediately. That trailer generated a lot of chatter, hype and drama.

So the real question is 'Is Nintendo still capable of generating hype for audiences which aren't there?'

Nintendo has always stuck to their guns and its worked for them. You can hate Nintendo all you want but I would never doubt them on anything.

I felt it with the TTYD remaster announcement as the one more thing in September 2023. That was friggin' awesome. Best announcement they've had in ages, prolly since Super Mario RPG remake a few months earlier. 2023/2024 were great. In general I don't find many first-party Nintendo announcements exciting anymore. I think one of their best games in the last 10 years is Pikmin 4.
Maybe a new 3D Mario next year or something will shock me with awesomness, but not holding my breath.

Not only that, but it was a total surprise because 2 years prior they announced that Zelda would adopt the cartoon art style used in Wind Waker. Which everyone assumed was the new style going forward. And secretly ever since Wind Waker, Nintendo had actually taken the feedback (mostly from the US) to heart, and was toiling away on a realistic Zelda to appeal to more mature audiences. It was just a complete shock. The megaton of megatons. I don't know if that could be repeated nowadays. Very likely not.

Not really, though. The game had already been shown in January that year, and everyone basically had surmised the copy mechanic, because the hat had eyes and could be tossed.

Reading words? What are you talking about? Go watch the trailer uploaded in January 2017. Cappy was revealed to have eyes. You tossed your cap. If you are too young to remember or weren't paying attention that's fine, but it's not my job to recall the internet for you. I can only tell you what the buzz and commentary was following the reveal at the January Switch Presentation. The trailer that followed at e3 was formal confirmation, but at that point most people had already easily guessed, which is why I thought it was odd you gave the E3 2017 trailer as an example of a GOAT-level reveal experience. I don't think anyone really looks back on that as a moment near that level, which is why I pointed it out as being odd.

Have you checked the views on Nintendo YouTube videos and compared them to other Console makers OP?

YouTube views aren't a good metric, due to the age of some of the announcements. The ubiquity of YouTube really wasn't established when some of these announcements happened. So an upload by someone other than the platform holder, many years after the announcement happened, wouldn't be an accurate representation.
Literally some of these announcements happened before live-streaming even came about. I remember having to go to a site and you'd literally rely on journalists sitting in person as these press events, typing announcements as they happened, and having to click Refresh to see the updates. And watching a poor quality video much later on.

My favorite Nintendo trailer, saw that shit day 1 in Japanese and was pumped. Not as excited as if they made a full blown ocarina of time 2 but hey it was cool.
