Death Stranding differs from BOTW and TOTK mainly in its darker story and lack of puzzles. Death Stranding is set in a world where the border between life and afterlife has deteriorated. Outdoor travel is impossible for most, owing to explosive, invisible ghosts called BTs, along with rain that ages whatever it falls on. Players control Sam Porter Bridges, a courier charged with building a communication network to reconnect now-isolated American cities. However, the world is not without hope, which comes in the form of cooperation through the asynchronous multiplayer features. Death Stranding is available on PC, PS4, and PS5 - and __ Death Stranding 2 has been confirmed in developm<br><br> <br>The vivid cobalt blues in this design are brilliant, tying the moon into the blue from Majora's Mask 's iconic clock tower .

Whilst expanding the map to add new areas is one interesting direction the sequel could go, there would still be no incentive to spend time exploring the main area anymore. Rewarding exploration was at the heart of Breath of the Wild, so there are legitimate concerns about whether it's even possible for the sequel to live<br><br>Remember how Breath of the Wild made you cling to rainy mountainsides while trying to make sure your green stamina bar didn't run out?

It follows Fenyx, a Delian squire who sets out to end the giant Typhon's reign of terror. Fenyx does this by rescuing a series of gods Typhon has rendered powerless, defeating their corrupted forms and returning them to their former glory. It's a story with a lighter tone than BOTW and TOTK , with snarkier characters and a more well-defined, anything-but-silent protagonist.

Perhaps more surprising, though, is what seems to be his new role in gameplay, as TOTK 's last trailer shows him fighting an enemy alongside Link as a companion character - a major expansion on his relatively minor role helping against the Divine Beast Vah Rutah in BOTW .
