As far as damage goes, the Hookshot isn't the best choice for a weapon unless a player is fighting very small enemies that can be killed with one hit. Rather, it provides utility for players both in and out of combat. The design of 3D Zelda games have made the Hookshot an iconic tool and weapon hybrid to the point that it might feel strange if it didn't appear in Tears of the Kingd<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 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>Meanwhile, Link faces the difficult task of freeing the Divine Beasts , aided in entering each by an invaluable ally and guided within by the spirit of the fallen Champion. Each Divine Beast is plagued by a Blight, a manifestation of Calamity Ganon specialized in tactics that allowed them to defeat their opposing Champion. By defeating these Blights, the spirits of the Champions are able to reassert control of their Divine Beasts, subsequently readying them to fire upon Calamity Ganon in the upcoming battle. They also grant Link a unique power that they wielded in life to aid him on his qu<br><br> <br>Having debuted in The Legend of Zelda , where players find it in the first dungeon, the Boomerang has made appearances in the majority of Zelda games. Considering that BOTW features several Boomerangs that players can find and use as Link, it seems natural that a direct sequel would also include those weapons or similar versions. If Tears of the Kingdom revisits classic Zelda , then including at least one Boomerang is a necessity due to its long history within the franchise to the point that it's become ico<br><br> <br>The Hyrule Bass is a common fish that returned in Breath of the Wild after appearing in other Zelda games prior. Another returning creature in water locations is the Octorock, which can be annoying to fight due to its defensive nature. Hyrule Bass are useful for cooking recipes in Zelda: Breath of the Wild , but Fuse could combine them with arrows and allow Link to distract Octorocks with fish while he defeats them without worrying about their defen<br><br> <br>This is another combination with high potential for utility, but with the drawback of doing little to no damage. Mighty Bananas are notoriously loved by the Yiga Clan in BOTW , and they're easy to obtain since they can be purchased from Emri in Kara Kara Bazaar. Taking a feature from Mario Kart , Mighty Banana Arrows could be used to make enemies slip, stunning them for a short period of time, and possibly doing a minimal amount of damage, if <br><br> <br>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ has plenty of iconic weapons and items that it can include in the game. Over its long history, _Zelda games have featured a variety of weapons for Link to use in his fight against evil threats. While not all have stood the test of time, there are some that are recognized as iconic and have reappeared in multiple games across the franch<br><br>That's right: you can essentially take an invisible elevator right to the top of a mountain. Of course, Tears of the Kingdom will likely have high places that can't be so conveniently accessed, but any geographic feature with a cave (and no doubt many a dungeon) lets Link skip the climbing theatrics entirely.<br><br> <br>It could be safely said that the Master Sword is the single most iconic weapon in The Legend of Zelda , and acquiring it is often an important milestone in Link's journey. The Master Sword in its original form was created by the Goddess Hylia so that her chosen hero could complete its creation and make it into a sword that repels evil. As an added bonus, the Master Sword in Breath of the Wild doesn't have weapon durability , making it the only weapon that doesn't need to be repaired. A broken form of the sword is shown in TOTK trailers, but a full, repaired version of the Master Sword is a must-have for any Zelda g<br><br>Tears of the Kingdom seem to change that as yet another of Link's new abilities lets him reverse the motion of objects.

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.
