<br>The Woodcutter’s Axe is one of the weapons in BOTW which has a dedicated secondary purpose. As the name implies, it deals extra damage against trees, making the axe an excellent choice of weapon for collecting wood as it can chop them down expeditiously. As an actual weapon, however, it is remarkably cumbersome to wield, and forces Link to attack with slow, sweeping blows. Should the item come back in Tears of the Kingdom , though, it would make more sense for the axe to become a proper tool. With little value as a weapon, a permanent inventory addition for resource collection fits the Woodcutter’s Axe much bet<br><br> <br>Even when it received universal critical acclaim upon its release, the one drawback of Breath of the Wild that critics and fans alike complained about was that weapons are far too flimsy, and having to find new ones when they break is frustrating. There would be no shame for Nintendo in admitting weapon durability was an unwise experiment and scaling back the mechanic to remove this frustrat<br><br> <br>Breath of the Wild provided a vibrant open world but it's hard to imagine revisiting the same locations with simple tweaks and new enemies will be as much fun. Whilst expanding the map to add new areas is one interesting direction the sequel could go, there would still be no incentive to spend time exploring the main area anymore. Rewarding exploration was at the heart of Breath of the Wild, so there are legitimate concerns about whether it's even possible for the sequel to live<br><br> <br>Though the ending of Breath of the Wild satisfied fans, it's also fair to say it's a rather abrupt end to the journey. With Tears of the Kingdom , players might not be as forgiving if the game's "post-game" is simply to return to a save before Ganon was beaten again. A story-based epilogue opening up to a post-game that gives the player new content would crown off the Tears of the Kingdom experience in the perfect <br><br> <br>For fans that aren't too concerned about the gameplay or story of the highly-anticipated Breath of the Wild sequel being a let-down, the release of Tears of the Kingdom can't come soon enough. As a result, long and protracted delays could cause the biggest backlash from fans of all, ultimately even potentially tarnishing the release when it does eventually come.

Completing Sheikah Shrines grants him Spirit Orbs, which improve his health and stamina. Finishing every shrine earns him a version of the classic green Hero’s Clothes. Deep within the Lost Woods, he discovers the Master Sword in its ancient pedestal. Once he is strong enough, the spirit of the sword allows him to draw it once more. Link also meets the Sheikah technology experts Robbie and Purah, discovering forest spirits called Koroks hiding across Hyrule, who offer Korok Seeds when found. Elsewhere in Hyrule, Link even helps to build a new settlement, named Tarrey T<br>Link's rocking some sort of prehistoric Stone Age look in the gameplay trailer. Not only is he more or less shirtless, but he also sports unbound long hair and noticeable arm tattoos that look very Sheikah-like.

Now, Tears of the Kingdom is showing that players will be able to get even more creative with Link's new abilities, one of which lets him combine any two items for a staggering number of possible combinations. While combinations with arrows already have a lot of potential, this is only the beginning of what Fuse could do in _The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<br><br>Now, the recent release of an official Tears of the Kingdom gameplay teaser shows exactly how Link will face the challenges Ganon throws him this time around. Although nobody will know for sure how things play out in Hyrule until it releases, there are a couple of enticing details the trailer hints at.<br><br> <br>If there's one disappointing thing to come out of the marketing for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , it's the fact that Zelda looks to need rescuing again, a classic Zelda series element that all the games seem to have.
