<br>The addition of new tools in TOTK clearly has the potential to provide many quality-of-life improvements to the game when compared to BOTW . In some cases, there are tools that could greatly improve resource collection methods from BOTW should they be implemented. In others, Breath of the Wild ** ’s ubiquitous durability system means that what could be useful tools are instead weak weapons that come with limited uses in the open-world game. By making such items a permanent addition to Link’s toolkit, Tears of the Kingdom ** can solve several problems with its predecessor’s gameplay experie<br><br> <br>However, Ganon proved to be impossible to defeat. He corrupted the Guardians and Divine Beasts, turning them against Hyrule when he finally emerged, and the four Champions perished. At the same time, the Princess' knight was mortally wounded, leaving Calamity Ganon Free to destroy Hyrule. Just when all hope seemed lost, Princess Zelda awoke her divine powers and trapped Ganon inside Hyrule Castle. Link is, of course, her knight, finally healed after 100 years by the aptly-named Shrine of Resurrection. Zelda, meanwhile, is trapped alongside Ganon inside the castle, holding him back; it is her voice that has been calling out to L<br><br> <br>Even when it received universal critical acclaim upon its release, the one drawback of Breath of the Wild that critics and fans alike complained about was that weapons are far too flimsy, and having to find new ones when they break is frustrating. There would be no shame for Nintendo in admitting weapon durability was an unwise experiment and scaling back the mechanic to remove this frustrat<br><br> <br>Another item in Breath of the Wild that should become a proper tool is the Torch. Used to light Link’s way and set fires, it is even weaker as a weapon than the Woodcutter’s Axe. In practical terms, it is simply a utility item, and one with limited durability at that. Changing this would not only free up an inventory space, but also ensure that Link never needs to go searching for a light source with a proper tool on hand in the BOTW sequel . Of course, it is possible that the Torch could still run on a limited resource; perhaps it could use oil, similar to Twilight Princess ’ Lant<br><br> <br>Despite having been teased by Nintendo several times, the story of Tears of the Kingdom has remained mostly a mystery, with most of the game's short teasers, trailers, and gameplay showcases keeping many aspects of TOTK tightly under wraps. Whereas new powers, enemy types, and the game's floating sky islands have all been known features for a while, past trailers have provided only slight hints at the game's plot. With the release fast approaching, however, the final pre-release trailer for Tears of the Kingdom has at long last revealed more, including several popular characters returning from Breath of the Wi<br><br>Tears of the Kingdom seem to change that as yet another of Link's new abilities lets him reverse the motion of objects.

Of course, Tears of the Kingdom will likely have high places that can't be so conveniently accessed, but any geographic feature with a cave (and no doubt many a dungeon) lets Link skip the climbing theatrics entirely.<br><br> <br>While waiting for the release of **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** , some Zelda fans may find that the story presented so far in Breath of the Wild is not as fresh as it could be; something that is only natural when considering that the award-winning game is now five years old. What's more, the tale of the latest era in Hyrule’s history is already remarkably long, spanning a hundred years and many hours of in-game adventuring. As such, with TOTK just over a month away, <a href="https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/articles/the-legend-of-zelda-timeline-mystery-where-breath-of-the-wild-and-tears-of-the-kingdom-truly-belong.html">Https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com</a>; now is the perfect time to recap the events of BO<br><br>How this new map addition connects to Calamity Ganon and his destruction of Hyrule's ground-dwelling civilization in the first game remains to be seen.
