As the direct sequel to _Breath of the Wild , Tears of the Kingdom takes place in the same post-apocalyptic Hyrule, expanding on its open world with floating sky islands and what seem to be deep underground caves. Alongside additions to the game's open exploration and creative tools, however, some of the Zelda series' more classic elements may also make a return in TO
Of course, this is all simply speculation, and it must be acknowledged that the identity of the Hylian woman may actually be more complex. For example, some theories suggest she is in fact the Goddess Hylia herself. This would also explain the resemblance between her and Zelda, although it does raise the question of why she appears so different from previous her depictions - The Hylian is clearly dissimilar to Hylia’s appearance as Skyward Sword ’s <a href="https://37.Caiwik.com/index/download2?diff=0&darken=1&utm_source=og&utm_campaign=2564&utm_content=[cid]&utm_clickid=vcc88ww8sosk84c0&aurl=https://Robwhitephoto.com">zelda Tears of the kingdom Crafting guide</a>, who has blue eyes and pale skin, and similarly lacks the wings Hylia is depicted with for Goddess Statues. Another possibility is that the Hylian is actually BOTW ’s Zelda, having undergone some kind of transformat
There are several potential candidates for playable characters in Tears of the Kingdom , with perhaps the most obvious being the successors of the four fallen Champions: Sidon, Yunobo, Riju, and Teba. All four characters have previously been playable in Age of Calamity , which presented mechanics that could now be replicated in Tears of the Kingdom . For example, Riju’s method of fighting alongside her Sand Seal Patricia is an excellent example of engaging combat mechanics. The other members of this quartet, representing many of Hyrule’s races in TOTK , could likewise have exclusive abilities as playable characters. The original Champions could also likewise return and become playable through flashback sce
In order to create some of the more mechanical creations, such as vehicles, using the Ultrahand, Link needs to have access to the supplies for them. In addition to random materials in the environment, Link can get special parts for these innovations from things that look like giant gumball machines. These large dispensers can provide things like steering wheels and fans for Link to incorporate into creative designs for vehicles and are scattered throughout Hyrule to conveniently be nearby whenever Link needs a p
So far, none of the people who were presented with the opportunity to preview TOTK have been able to find any combination of items that can not be fused together. Tears of the Kingdom 's Fuse ability will present many opportunities for players to try to exploit and has already created some laughable situations. Surprising outcomes have been discovered in some of the fusible creations, although some of the previewers stated they were not at liberty to discuss some of the more intriguing creations at this point, so players can enjoy the discoveries on their
The fact that both Hylian women seem to wield similar magical powers is another strong indicator that the two are related. Zelda’s powers are inherited from Hylia, meaning that all of her ancestors share the same power. Of course, it is possible that this new example of golden magic is sourced purely from the Tear, not from a bloodline. Nevertheless, as Zelda somehow comes into possession of the Tear, there is still the implication that both women are capable of using this highly potent magic, no matter its sou
Assuming that this Hylian is indeed an ancient Zelda, then this opens up the possibility that she is in fact the Princess who initially sealed Calamity Ganon 10,000 years prior to Breath of the Wild . With TOTK being a direct sequel to BOTW , this makes perfect sense; such a plot point could easily shed light on the events which ultimately lead to Breath of the Wild . This would presumably include how the body of Ganondorf came to be sealed underneath Hyrule Castle, and so also explain the roots of the Upheaval in present Hyr
Moreover, in relation to the game's story, the dungeons of Tears of the Kingdom appear to each be associated with one of the apparent Champion successors. Of the three revealed in the trailer - Sidon, Riju, and Tulin - Sidon and Tulin can both be seen accompanying Link in certain sections of the game, with Sidon in a water-themed area, and Tulin flying next to Link in the sky. And although Riju and a currently-unknown Goron (likely to be Yunobo from BOTW ) haven't been seen in any dungeon so far, the large building seen rising out of the desert, as well as the underground magma area, seem likely candida
The Ascend ability in TOTK looks magical with swirling lights emanating around Link as he floats upward and crosses through ceilings to reach higher platforms. Several people who previewed the demo of the game noted that although it is useful, it is more like another movement possibility and not quite as valuable or memorable as other abilities given. Passing through solid objects, and even some enemies, sounds as though it could be incredibly beneficial, and it will be necessary with certain puzzle environments, but the game offers so many other options that it is maybe not as worthwhile as it could
