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 pe...

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 Tears of the Kingdom has already been shown to build upon the world created in BOTW in numerous ways. Although much...

Massive franchises like the Zelda series are expected to constantly evolve but, for once, TOTK is a sequel where going back to an older format might be the best thing the developers can do. It seems strange given that Breath of the Wild was the best-selling Zelda series game ever but Redditor TriforksWarrior isn't alone in saying they'd be " a little disappointed " if the sequel didn't utilize a more traditional dungeon sys Midna's true form, revealed in Twilight Princess doesn't appear here, in...

A few shots from Tears of the Kingdom appear to take place underground, in caves and caverns. In one particular portion of the footage, next to a handful of Bokoblins that appear to be mining, you can clearly see what looks like spirits floating around on the gro 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 fighti...

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 pla...

Despite having been teased by Nintendo several times, the story of Tears of the Kingdom has remained mostly a mystery, with most of the game's short teasers, trailers, and gameplay showcases keeping many aspects of TOTK tightly under wraps. Whereas new powers, enemy types, and the game's floating sky islands have all been known features for a while, past trailers have provided only slight hints at the game's plot. With the release fast approaching, however, the final pre-release trailer for Tear...

Whenever Nintendo decides to provide an answer surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , it hurls out dozens more questions and keeps the theory wheels turning in our brains. Yesterday’s Direct featured an extended glimpse at new gameplay mechanics, while also teasing a healthy dose of character and narrative details I am totally going to read too much into and come to conclusions that probably won’t end up happening.An ancient evil has once again descended upon Hyrule, awakening a...

Death Stranding might not be the first title that comes to mind when considering games similar to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom , but the connections are there. Like BOTW , the genre-defying Death Stranding features a beautiful open world destroyed by apocalyptic catastrophe. Players must navigate weather hazards and environmental obstacles as they explore the world. Creative platforming and use of traversal mechanics are encouraged, and stealth is almost always an alternative to p...

The Lizalfos of Breath of the Wild don't have every boomerang in the game to themselves – not when there are giant Boomerangs out there to be discovered. These massive, traditionally-shaped boomerangs are slow, but they're also huge enough to wallop enemies as a handheld weapon and cover enough ground when thrown to strike a large group d Among the weapons included in Zelda , Bombs might be the most situational due to the time delay between taking one out and the actual detonation, although Brea...
