In the new trailer you can see wanted posters of Princess Zelda in various places, like on the walls of Hyrule Castle Town (see above in the top left corner). It's also featured in the game's key art. This confirms what we already have been speculating about back in June, where you could see Princess Zelda stuck in a cell below Hyrule Castle and has to escape from there. All of this is a throwback to A Link to the Past, where Link got framed for kidnapping Princess Zelda and there were signs with a sketch of him in Kakariko.
The Japanese website also shows some stealth gameplay in Hyrule Castle, where you have to get past by the Hylian guards, similar to Ocarina of Time or The Minish Cap, only that this takes place in the basement. And the website also might give us an idea how Zelda got into this situation...
There is some footage of the King of Hyrule, who has a new design. He looks a bit similar to King Rhoam with the beard and hair, but only a bit, and has a completely new outfit. Anyway, in this scene a rift appears right below them. He shoves Zelda to safety, but gets swallowed by it, much like Link was. The guard and the minister come to his aid, where they then share the same fate and turn to stone in the process, so only Zelda manages to escape here.
It's easy to see why someone would think that she is the cause of these rifts. She was found at the first one and now she is right there when her father gets taken by one. So, there doesn't necessarily need to be an evil person framing her, like Agahnim did with Link in A Link to the Past. But there still might be...
The next trailer will potentially show us more about the rifts, since the current one kind of ended on a cliffhanger there. Maybe they will also talk about this part of the story a bit more. Or maybe this will be something that they will leave for the players to find out.
