Part of me wants to believe that it’s a past iteration of Link or a version of Ganon from before darkness corrupted him. Zelda is also seen with shorter hair and wielding the Sheikah Slate in new character art, convincing me further that she is not only saved by Link’s new power, but comes to play a far more prominent role in the full adventure. Whatever evil they face, she is convinced it can’t be stopped, but is now far more than a passive bystander holding off evil as her companion does all t...

The ability, while more straightforward in its use than Fuse or Ultrahand, seems like a handy aid for quicker exploration, allowing Link to skip climbing in certain areas - and also bypassing the need to manage stamina. Additionally, Ascend seems likely to be an opportunity for TOTK to add some devious secrets or puzzles, like rooms or areas hidden beneath the ceiling of one area and the floor of another. However, the demonstration also mentions certain limitations to the ability, which are like...

Interestingly, however, despite indications that Zelda might be reprising her perennial role as a damsel in distress, the final trailer for Tears of the Kingdom seems to suggest otherwise, despite her separation from Link in what appears to be an early part of the game. Cutscenes, presumably from later in TOTK , separately show Zelda interacting with a currently unknown character, holding the Master Sword, and awaiting Link at an unknown location, suggesting that she has a larger role to play in...

Although the difficulty is subjective and everyone finds different things challenging, many fans were able to relate to the second phase being more like an interactive cut-scene than an actual fight if the player knows how to avoid getting hit. If Tears of the Kingdom is to reward experienced players of Breath of the Wild with more challenging bosses and shrines, then a final boss fight that is more consistently challenging would be a good stThis power materialises in an ancient gauntlet that bi...

Additionally, in further contrast to the Calamity Ganon of BOTW , which was an evil threat with little to no personality behind it, TOTK 's trailers indicate that Ganondorf will be much more of a character than a generic evil to be defeated - in no small part due being fully voiced for the first time in the Zelda Temples And Dungeons series. 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 plac...

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 upc...

Tears of the Kingdom flooding Hyrule and leading to The Wind Waker would be an interesting twist, but that's not the only direction that it could go. In fact, there is already at least one contradiction between the two games. Not only did the King of Hyrule have different names in both Breath of the Wild and The Wind Waker , but BOTW 's king was already dead long before that game, much less TOTK , while Wind Waker 's king was there at Hyrule's end. The Kings of The Legend of Zelda 's Hyrule are ...

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 upcomin...
