<br>Climbing, gliding, and even horse-riding made traversing the terrain of Breath of the Wild immensely satisfying and the fact it was rewarding for the player as well as the perfect bonus. Given there's one pretty massive traversal mechanic missing from that list though, it seems like an obvious way that Tears of the Kingdom could be an upgrade.

However, this synopsis nevertheless covers the broad strokes of Link’s journey in Breath of the Wild , from the tragedies of the past to the triumphs of the present. With this in mind, fans of the game __ should be well-prepared for the release of **Tears of the Kingdom ** , which will soon continue the story of Link and Zelda in the wake of Calamity Ganon’s def<br> <br>There tends to be pressure for sequels to always be bigger as well as better than their predecessors, but Nintendo might be smart to focus on the latter point with Tears of the Kingdom . Including side content, Breath of the Wild is already a very long single-player game and Redditor TawnLR is concerned the sequel might inevitably be " too long " and " become boring after 40 hours or s<br><br> <br>The addition of new tools in TOTK clearly has the potential to provide many quality-of-life improvements to the game when compared to BOTW . In some cases, there are tools that could greatly improve resource collection methods from BOTW should they be implemented. In others, Breath of the Wild ** ’s ubiquitous durability system means that what could be useful tools are instead weak weapons that come with limited uses in the open-world game. By making such items a permanent addition to Link’s toolkit, Tears of the Kingdom ** can solve several problems with its predecessor’s gameplay experie<br><br> <br>Breath of the Wild begins with an amnesiac Link awakening to the sound of a feminine voice, rousing him from a strange pod-like device. Directed by the voice to claim the Shiekah Slate resting on a nearby pedestal, he emerges from an underground chamber to find himself on a plateau overlooking a beautiful but desolate Hyrule. He soon encounters a strange old man who offers to trade his paraglider for the spirit orbs held within four nearby Sheikah Shrines, which also unlock various features of the Sheikah Slate. Link completes the shrine’s tests, only for the old man to disappear while inviting him to the nearby ruined Temple of T<br><br> <br><img src="https://www.gamerguides.com/assets/maps/markers/bomb-flower345735.jpg"; style="max-width:400px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="" />The Zora Prince Sidon helps Link to free the elephantine Vah Ruta, piloted by his older sister Mipha. A young Goron named Yunobo is similarly instrumental in Link entering the lizard-like Vah Rudania, piloted by Goron Daruk. The young Gerdo Chieftain Riju aids Link with Vah Naboris, piloted by her ancestor Urbosa. Finally, Rito warrior Teba joins Link in reclaiming Vah Medoh, piloted by master archer Revali. Link completes a task for each ally to secure their aid. This notably includes the retrieval of the Thunder Helm, an heirloom of the Gerudo tribe, from the Yiga clan; in the process, he defeats the clan’s leader, Master Ko<br><br>This power materialises in an ancient gauntlet that binds itself to Link’s arm, used to phase through environments and move mysterious objects long sat dormant in the sky. Whatever he touches, it burns his arm to a crisp until one final wish from Zelda brings it back from the brink with magic I imagine will have lasting consequences.
