<br>Enemy variety was one of Breath of the Wild 's strong suits but giving old enemies extra attacks or armor won't be enough to make for the challenging new combat encounters fans will need to truly enjoy the new game. Fans are also hoping to see the return of fan-favorite enemies like ReDeads and Darknuts, so this is one area where fans would be bitterly disappointed if Tears of the Kingdom went for a lazier opt<br><br>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>We'd love to see this large weapon combined with the smaller Gerudo Scimitar – or its powered-up version, the Scimitar of the Seven. Hopefully, some fusions blend the shape and abilities of the two weapons, as we'd love to see a beefy sword like the Edge of Duality wielded with the swiftness and skill of the Gerudo Scimi<br><br> <br>Interestingly, a close inspection of the brief footage of them shows that each contraption is stuck together by an unknown green substance.

Breath of the Wild is special title and the massive amounts of critical acclaim and commercial success that met its release raised the bar for the Zelda series as a whole. As a result, many are assuming that its sequel will only continue what it star<br><br> <br>One notable aspect of the trailers for Tears of the Kingdom has been the distinct lack of Breath of the Wild's Sheikah technology. Everything from the shrines littering the landscape to the game's massive towers seems to be missing from all the footage we've seen of the sequel. Despite this, you may not have noticed that this gameplay trailer showcases a few distinct towers of its own scattered around the scen<br><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>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. Is Ganon now bound to Link, or another character entirely being kept ever so close to the game’s chest?<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>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> <br>BOTW is <a href="https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/articles/donkey-kong-bananza-s-liberating-player-freedom.html">full report</a> of mechanics and hidden features and that makes it really hard to imagine what Tears of the Kingdom could add that would enhance the experience. Despite that, fans likely won't be satisfied with a sequel that's mostly focused on telling a new story with the same mechanics and format, meaning they could be setting themselves up for disappointment when _Tears of the Kingdom _ finally releases in<br>
