<br>Interestingly, another vehicle shown in the demonstration is a basic flying raft - a wooden platform fused with four downward-facing fans and a sail, allowing it to move with the direction of the wind. The limited battery, however, seems to greatly restrict such devices from gaining too much height, which is a far cry from the sky-faring vehicles previously seen in trailers. While not elaborated on in the gameplay demonstration, it seems likely that Tears of the Kingdom 's progression will eventually allow for dedicated ways of building more complicated vehicles, with much greater or even unlimited energy suppl<br><br>Link and Zelda likely spent the months following Breath of the Wild piecing their scattered kingdom back together , the remnants of which have either been repaired or altered in many of the locales spotted throughout the trailer. The towers we once climbed are now surrounded with eerie spotlights, while Hateno’s welcoming atmosphere now is punctured by an aura of fluorescent green energy and a constant darkness that forces its inhabitants to hide away in fear of retaliation. I used to feel welcomed by this place, and now it terrifies me.<br><br> <br>Whilst it might have been a community in-joke joke, that doesn't mean allowing the player to pet dogs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom wouldn't be an easy way to score points with fans disappointed you couldn't do so despite all the cool hidden features in Breath of the Wild . Redditor masonfast is one of those disappointed fans and comments "let us pet the do<br><br> <br>As one of Breath of the Wild 's most popular side characters, it's not surprising to see the return of Prince Sidon. 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 . Keen-eyed viewers may also be able to spot a crown on his head, as well as a mysterious "tear" on the back of his hand, suggesting that he may have a significant role to play in TOTK 's st<br> <br>Another classic Zelda tool missing from Breath of the Wild , the Fishing Rod, would give much easier access to another category of <a href="https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/articles/tears-of-the-kingdom-on-switch-2-the-way-it-was-always-meant-to-be-played.html">Hyrule 60Fps Gameplay</a>’s wildlife in Tears of the Kingdom . In BOTW , catching fish, much like other creatures, is achieved with careful timing. That being said, though, bombs are a viable option for expediting the process. Nevertheless, including the Fishing Rod in Breath of the Wild ’s sequel would doubtlessly make catching fish a much more relaxing and enjoyable experience. Notably, it opens the possibility for a minigame that could be playable at any major body of water in the game wo<br><br>Part of me wants to believe that it’s a past iteration of Link or a version of Ganon from before darkness corrupted him. Zelda is also seen with shorter hair and wielding the Sheikah Slate in new character art, convincing me further that she is not only saved by Link’s new power, but comes to play a far more prominent role in the full adventure. Whatever evil they face, she is convinced it can’t be stopped, but is now far more than a passive bystander holding off evil as her companion does all the work. Both characters are given more agency here, which should allow Tears of the Kingdom to breach narrative boundaries this series has never toyed with before.<br><br><img src="https://picography.co/page/1/600"; style="max-width:420px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="" />My key takeaway is the bravery Nintendo has shown when it comes to expanding upon Breath of the Wild with a sequel that not only takes place in the same world, but questions its history and the characters within it we’ve already come to know and love. No longer confined by tragic flashbacks and environmental storytelling, Link and Zelda now occupy the present day and will make choices lined with immense and immediate consequences. We are set to learn so much about them and likely come to view them as different people by the time it’s all over. Not just in this game, but how these two iconic characters have been portrayed throughout history.<br><br> <br>For The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to please die-hard fans of its predecessor, it might have to present a challenge of a more appropriate difficulty for experienced players. Whilst Breath of the Wild had some difficult shrines , Redditor FroakieUnlimited was mainly disappointed by the game's conclusion and the fact that "the second stage of the final fight was so trivi<br><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> <br>Like the Master Sword, a bow and arrows show up frequently in Zelda games, and often with different types of arrows that can be earned or found. The typical magic arrow types: fire, ice, and light, all have their own uses, making the bow a more versatile weapon, and it's even occasionally necessary for solving puzzles. How strong different arrows are can vary in Zelda games, especially with Light Arrows' magic powers . But given the possibility that Zelda is indisposed during at least a portion of TOTK , the Light Arrows could be an iconic addition as well as useful for Link as he fights against evil forces without the help of Zelda's divine powers, which were crucial against Calamity Ga<br>
