Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - 10 Fears Redditors Have About The Game

<br>The Wind Waker takes place in the Great Sea, which Link sails across in his adventure to save his sister and defeat the resurrected Ganondorf, whose destruction of Greatfish Isle in Wind Waker shows him to have similar destructive power to Calamity Ganon. Late in the game, it's revealed that the Great Sea is on top of Hyrule, which flooded ages ago in that timeline. It was frozen in time in the last moments before the water overtook it, and at Wind Waker 's climax it disappears under the waves for good, with the memories of the kingdom and Ganondorf consigned to memory and legend for the rest of t<br><br>That's right: you can essentially take an invisible elevator right to the top of a mountain. 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>Shield surfing is a fast and fun way to traverse Hyrule’s hills and mountains, but as with mining it comes with a price. Like weapons, shields also come with their own durability, and shield surfing in Breath <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">ocarina of time Split</a> the Wild is an activity that will damage them. A dedicated Surf Board in Tears of the Kingdom would allow players to shred the slopes without fear of leaving themselves undefended in the event of a monster attack. It would also remove the possibility of a shield breaking mid-surf. If players ignore the warnings when durability runs low, this can even prove deadly for Link as he is thrown to the gro<br><br>Tears of the Kingdom's Link can merge different items together with Fuse. And not just some items; at least if the trailer is any indication, pretty much everything within the interactive environment is up for grabs.<br><br> <br>Breath of the Wild not only introduced an open world map, it also gave players the chance to be creative in the way they approached the game. Now, Tears of the Kingdom is showing that players will be able to get even more creative with Link's new abilities, one of which lets him combine any two items for a staggering number of possible combinations. While combinations with arrows already have a lot of potential, this is only the beginning of what Fuse could do in _The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<br> <br>This is another combination with high potential for utility, but with the drawback of doing little to no damage. Mighty Bananas are notoriously loved by the Yiga Clan in BOTW , and they're easy to obtain since they can be purchased from Emri in Kara Kara Bazaar. Taking a feature from Mario Kart , Mighty Banana Arrows could be used to make enemies slip, stunning them for a short period of time, and possibly doing a minimal amount of damage, if <br><br> <br>Much like Hyrule Bass, Fortified Pumpkins in Breath of the Wild are mostly used for cooking. Since they're one of the foods favored by the Sheikah, Link can easily purchase them in Kakariko Village at a shop next to the pumpkin patch. However, Tears of the Kingdom could turn pumpkins into a weapon rather than having them be primarily used for cook<br> <br>Tears of the Kingdom flooding Hyrule and leading to The Wind Waker would be an interesting twist, but that's not the only direction that it could go. In fact, there is already at least one contradiction between the two games. Not only did the King of Hyrule have different names in both Breath of the Wild and The Wind Waker , but BOTW 's king was already dead long before that game, much less TOTK , while Wind Waker 's king was there at Hyrule's end. The Kings of The Legend of Zelda 's Hyrule are not the only difference, but they are one of the most promin<br><br> <br>Given Tears of the Kingdom started life as a planned DLC for Breath of the Wild (via Polygon ) before it became a full sequel, it's hard to imagine it will change a lot about the core mechanics and even the main map from the original game. Redditor jack33jack worries that " the real magic of BOTW was exploring a large new place and discovering mechanics " and the sequel simply won't be able to deliver that same thr<br> <br>A new version of the great flood would be sure to become a famous moment in the series. Such a dramatic change in Hyrule is rare to see in The Legend of Zelda , especially over the course of a single game. If TOTK is part of a new Zelda timeline , then seeing Hyrule go through such a transformative event would be a good way to establish the game's importance in said timel<br><br>And no, these aerial animals aren't the same as the graceful, sinuous dragons of Breath of the Wild (although they make an appearance in the demo too). At the very end of the gameplay trailer, Link rides past a creature that appears to be carrying some other living thing in its massive claws.<br><br> <br>Zelda doesn't give Link a shotgun to use as a weapon, but a Rice Arrow could act as a close substitute for a shotgun blast. Hylian Rice can be found by cutting grass in East Necluda, and it can be purchased from a variety of vendors. While the damage would be unlikely to match that of a shotgun from other games, a Rice Arrow could burst on contact to hit multiple enemies at o<br>
