<br>Having debuted in The Legend of Zelda , where players find it in the first dungeon, the Boomerang has made appearances in the majority of Zelda games. Considering that BOTW features several Boomerangs that players can find and use as Link, it seems natural that a direct sequel would also include those weapons or similar versions. If Tears of the Kingdom revisits classic Zelda , then including at least one Boomerang is a necessity due to its long history within the franchise to the point that it's become ico<br><br> <br>On the subject of the floating islands, we've seen footage in past trailers for Tears of the Kingdom that shows Link reversing the trajectory of falling debris, presumably leading back up to these sky islands. Large portions of the islands have also been spotted around Hyrule, crash-landed into the surf<br><br> <br>Throughout the Legend of Zelda series, the princess has often been disappointingly reduced to a damsel-in-distress role, but her Breath of the Wild characterization made her far more human and likable as a character. Now would be the perfect time for her to have more agency which is why there have been countless calls for her to be a playable character in the sequel. For Tears of the Kingdom to ignore fans and give her the same clichéd role again would be more than disappoint<br><br> <br>What's interesting is that the mechanism seems to manipulate an entire portion of one of the floating islands that Link is exploring. This suggests that there will be parts of these islands that you can alter to explore further, potentially even changing the layout of the realm hovering over Hyr<br>Zelda also wields a new slate this time around, that is far more reminiscent of the Switch than the Wii U, hinting that she either found a second for her own use, or Link no longer requires it thanks to the magical arm business he has going down. Yes, I am begging for Zelda to be playable , and all the pieces falling neatly into place like this doesn’t help matters.<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>The highly anticipated Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel is titled Tears of the Kingdom , and promotional ads for the game so far have shown Link and Zelda traversing an underground cavern, Hyrule castle catastrophically disappearing into the sky, and a sobbing Zelda collapsing into Link's arms.<br>Our heroes spent so long saving Hyrule only to plunge it into turmoil a second time, and their relationship will soon be tested through tough decisions and sacrifices we are yet to see unfold. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and the limbs forced to adopt ancient powers to overcome unknown evil. The hopeful melancholy this land boasted in previous years has been torn away, replaced by an intense apocalyptic veneer that it will likely be our duty to wipe away. Zelda is a damsel in distress no more, and Link is no longer an untouchable hero who can hold the entire world on his shoulders. Tears of the Kingdom must confront these changing circumstances, and judging from everything we’ve seen, it likely will.<br><br>At first glance, the land of Hyrule looks near-identical to Breath of the Wild's post-apocalyptic, Guardian-infested map. In the official trailer, you'll notice Link riding around on horseback in the tell-tale green fields of Hyrule's central region.<br><br> <br>From its first reveal in 2019, Tears of the Kingdom has been the subject of much speculation, with its brief trailers and short snippets of gameplay giving small sneak peeks at some of TOTK 's new tools that weren't in BOTW . Perhaps even more so than the Zelda series' first foray into open-world gameplay, Tears of the Kingdom looks to be an impressively ambitious expansion on the world and mechanics of its predecessor - although much of the game's actual content has remained a mystery, even as it's periodically received new trailers. With a recent gameplay demonstration from series producer Eiji Aonuma, however, four of Link's new abilities have been revealed: Recall, Fuse, Ultrahand, and Ascend, each with seemingly myriad u<br><br> <br>While prerelease info regarding the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ **** has been somewhat scarce, a new gameplay showcase has given an in-depth look at some of Link's new abilities. As a rare direct sequel in the _Zelda franchise, Tears of the Kingdom continues the story started in Breath of the Wild , bringing Link back to the same post-apocalyptic Hyrule. However, while the overall landscape seems to be remaining similar to Breath of the Wild 's, new additions like mysterious floating islands and gameplay changes like the ability to build vehicles promise to provide big shake-ups to the game's open wo<br><br>The final moments of the new trailer has Zelda asking an unknown entity to lend Link their power, followed immediately by a shot of the Hero of Time reaching out for the Princess as the ground beneath her gives way and she falls into oblivion. This particular sequence likely takes place in the opening hours beneath the ruins of <a href="https://zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/articles/hyrule-warriors-evolution-from-timeless-crossovers-to-focused-prequels.html">Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment</a> Castle, with Link and Zelda seeking out the remains of Calamity Ganon following his defeat.
