<br>The last ability shown in Tears of the Kingdom 's gameplay demonstration, which can also be seen in previous trailers, is Ascend, which allows Link to go through ceilings, essentially "swimming" through until he reaches the floor above. The ability seemingly doesn't let the player choose an angled trajectory, as the demonstration shows Link shooting directly upwards, and while thin ceilings and platforms will allow Link to phase through almost instantly, others will require more time. This can be seen in the demonstration, where Link uses Ascend on the ceiling of a cave to rise to the top of a small mountain, with Link going through a brief, portal-like transition before emerging at the <br><br> <br>Another classic Zelda tool missing from Breath of the Wild , the Fishing Rod, would give much easier access to another category of Hyrule’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> <br><img style="max-width:450px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="" />Tears of the Kingdom has already been shown to build upon the world created in BOTW in numerous ways. Although much of the main plot line is being kept under wraps, trailers for TOTK have shown new vehicles and weapons being used by Link to explore both the land of Hyrule and the sky above it. BOTW placed great emphasis on foraging for equipment, as well as utilizing a durability system. Consequently, there were few permanent additions to Link’s inventory. TOTK could change this by adding some useful tools which would never need replacing, thereby removing one of the main sources of frustration in BOTW ’s gamep<br><br> <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>If any weapon could add to the particular abilities of the Windcleaver, it might be one of the game's most unexpected: a Korok Leaf. These normally passive weapons allow you to blow large gusts of wind in any direction, and we'd wager that combining this gust with the Windcleaver's punishing gust would create a larger and more damaging burst of air with every swing while also still allowing the weapon to be used for practical purpo<br><br> <br>When fighting enemies with a lot of health, a way to deal damage over time can be helpful. Using the new TOTK Fuse ability to combine a Crab with an arrow could create a Crab Arrow that has the Crab bite enemies to deal a small amount of damage over time. This can also prove useful against bosses with mechanics that require Link to move in order to avoid damage, as the Crab Arrow can keep dealing some amount of damage to the boss while Link is unable to properly att<br><br> <br>This one might be a little more on the unusual side, but if Link's new ability in Tears of the Kingdom can be used to combine any two items, then he would be able to combine Milk with Arrows. Since magic is a recurring ability in Zelda games, <a href="https://zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/articles/time-travel-tangles-in-totk-future-zelda-adventures-await.html">Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.Com</a>; it wouldn't be too far-fetched for some item combinations to result in a magical product. In the case of Milk Arrows, they could turn enemies into a cow, effectively removing them from combat for a short duration of t<br><br> <br>There are several tools that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** could include that Breath of the Wild ** did not fully provide the player with. Link collects a wide variety of tools throughout the Zelda franchise, used for everything from transportation to manipulating his environment. But although BOTW featured a wide variety of weapons, some of which had secondary uses, it was curiously lacking in more permanent to<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 of 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> <br>Recall, perhaps one of the more straightforward abilities, seems to function similarly to BOTW 's Stasis - but, instead of freezing objects, it sends them back through time, which might lend credence to certain Tears of the Kingdom time travel theories . In the showcase, the ability is used to ride a rock that fell from the sky back up to access a sky island, meaning that it has interesting applications for exploration - although it's currently unknown if it can be used as freely as Stasis. For the time being, the ability seems like a way to get to sky islands in the early game, although which islands it can allow access to seems somewhat limi<br>
