<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>There are two very distinct iterations of Link seen throughout most of the trailers thus far. One is dressed in his signature blue tunic with his snazzy new gauntlet, while the other is letting his hair down and freeing the nipple with luscious pecs and a more unconventional version of the new tool. It’s more akin to a tattoo and protruding objects than an item of clothing and raises further questions about exactly what this game has in store for us.<br><br> <br>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 <a href="https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/articles/tears-of-the-kingdom-item-dups-still-work-in-latest-2025-patch.html">Switch 2 Duplication Glitch</a> 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>While waiting for the release of **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** , some Zelda fans may find that the story presented so far in Breath of the Wild is not as fresh as it could be; something that is only natural when considering that the award-winning game is now five years old. What's more, the tale of the latest era in Hyrule’s history is already remarkably long, spanning a hundred years and many hours of in-game adventuring. As such, with TOTK just over a month away, now is the perfect time to recap the events of BO<br><br> <br>Ore Deposits across BOTW ’s Hyrule allow the player to gather everything from Rock Salt to Gemstones. However, mining these deposits comes with a cost. Breaking the rocks generally means sacrificing some of a weapon’s durability, which in BOTW is of course a precious resource itself. On the other hand, it is also possible to break open Deposits with bombs, but this often leads to the contents being flung far wildly. In a worst-case scenario, this can even lead to some items being lost, especially if mining along cliffs. A pickaxe or similar item, perhaps an unbreakable version of BOTW ’s Iron Sledgehammer, would solve both of these issues with min<br><br> <br>While this enemy appears to be something new created for Tears of the Kingdom, the designs and patterns on the boxes that make up its body seem very similar to the Zonai architecture found throughout Hyrule. The Zonai are a mysterious and ancient race , and the implication that they may have some connection to these floating islands is interesting, to say the le<br><br> <br>Fan theories have long suggested that Hyrule will be rebuilt in Tears of the Kingdom , whether it will be a natural development or something the player has to do themselves, and it's no surprise many are hoping for it to be the case. Whilst Breath of the Wild had a beautiful and memorable setting, a livelier one inhabited by more fun NPCs and more activities would be a great improvement the sequel could m<br><br> <br>Atop the Temple of Time, the old man reveals the truth; he is the ghost of King Rhoam, the former king of Hyrule. 100 years previously, the malevolent Calamity Ganon emerged from below Hyrule Castle. Seeing the signs of the Great Calamity’s coming, as described in a prophecy, large-scale excavations had revealed the existence of an army of mechanical Guardians created in ancient times , alongside four gigantic machines called Divine Beasts. Four champions were then selected from the various races of Hyrule to pilot them alongside the Kingdom’s princess and her knight in bat<br><br>An ancient evil has once again descended upon Hyrule, awakening a forgotten civilization in the sky and imbuing the land’s creatures with newfound power and aggression that will likely tear everything asunder. The stakes are high, with Hyrule Castle crumbling away into dust as red streaks of energy bubble and burst into the landscape. I’m not even sure if Ganon is the one talking in the trailer’s opening seconds, convinced Nintendo is throwing out a red herring as the previous calamity prepares to play a far more pivotal role in the upcoming story.<br> <br><img src="https://cdn.xzone.cz/p/aaa/celeste/celeste-digital-375w.png"; style="max-width:420px;float:right;padding:10px 0px 10px 10px;border:0px;" alt="" />Another item in Breath of the Wild that should become a proper tool is the Torch. Used to light Link’s way and set fires, it is even weaker as a weapon than the Woodcutter’s Axe. In practical terms, it is simply a utility item, and one with limited durability at that. Changing this would not only free up an inventory space, but also ensure that Link never needs to go searching for a light source with a proper tool on hand in the BOTW sequel . Of course, it is possible that the Torch could still run on a limited resource; perhaps it could use oil, similar to Twilight Princess ’ Lant<br>
