<br>The first Legend of Zelda game to feature sailing as a prominent mechanic was The Wind Waker , and the similarities between its story and the possibility of TOTK 's Hyrule being flooded are difficult to ignore. It's possible that the stories of the two games could be tied together as much as Tears of the Kingdom is with Breath of the Wild . While more information would be needed in order to confirm this, a clear line could be drawn connecting the two if a flood ends up being vital to the upcoming title's p<br><br> <br><img src="https://burst.shopifycdn.com/photos/man-controls-all-video-games.jpg?width=746&format=pjpg&exif=0&iptc=0"; style="max-width:420px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="" />In Kakariko Village, an elderly incarnation of Impa provides Link with a blue Champion's Tunic and tells him he may be able to recover his memories by tracking down significant locations, hinted at by photographs stored on the Sheikah Slate (which once belonged to Zelda). Through these memories, it is revealed that Zelda struggled to awaken her powers and was initially resentful of Link for easily drawing the Master Sword and his obvious skills. However, the pair slowly grew closer, thanks in large part to Link protecting her from assassination attempts by the Yiga clan; a disaffected Sheikah who felt betrayed by the royal family and decided to follow Ganon inst<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.

Much like the first game, Ganondorf is likely what sets the plot of TOTK in motion, with his revival setting the stage for the rest of the game to take place - and, like Calamity Ganon, Ganondorf is likely to be Tears of the Kingdom 's final boss (although hopefully less disappointi<br><br> <br>Zelda doesn't give Link a shotgun to use as a weapon, but a Rice Arrow could act as a close substitute for a shotgun blast.

While some characters, like Yunobo or Impa, are conspicuous by their absence in the game's final trailer, there's still likely a huge amount of _The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ that will remain a secret until the game's lau<br><br> <br>As one of Breath of the Wild 's most popular side characters, it's not surprising to see the return of Prince Sidon. Perhaps more surprising, though, is what seems to be his new role in gameplay, as TOTK 's last trailer shows him fighting an enemy alongside Link as a companion character - a major expansion on his relatively minor role helping against the Divine Beast Vah Rutah in BOTW . Keen-eyed viewers may also be able to spot a crown on his head, as well as a mysterious "tear" on the back of his hand, suggesting that he may have a significant role to play in TOTK 's st<br>
