Topic: tears of the kingdom review

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...

Great Fairies in Zelda __ often give Link upgrades, but the lesser fairies shouldn't be overlooked considering their ability to restore Link's health back to full. Instead of a weapon to damage others, Fuse used on a Fairy and an Arrow could create a utility item for healing. A Fairy Arrow could be used to restore full health to the target it strikes, which could be a problem if a player accidentally uses it on an enemy. However, that drawback could be necessary given the potential power of an i...

Developers seem to be setting up Tears of the Kingdom to be a mix of classic Zelda elements and new features that will help set it apart from its predecessors. The weapons listed here are so iconic to the franchise that if they were omitted from TOTK , it could be seen as a strange choice, especially with their inclusion in BOTW . There seems to be high expectations for a follow-up to BOTW and its open-world to include more unique features, but there's also room for the iconic weapons in The Leg...

Climbing, gliding, and even horse-riding made traversing the terrain of Breath of the Wild immensely satisfying and the fact it was rewarding for the player as well as the perfect bonus. Given there's one pretty massive traversal mechanic missing from that list though, it seems like an obvious way that Tears of the Kingdom could be an upgrade. As the Zelda series is known for its lively underwater settings, for All bubbul gems better or for worse, it would be perfect for underwater exploring O...

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. This certainly isn't a new addition to the wishlist of Zelda fans and the outcry about being unable to pet the dogs in Breath of the Wild was so great that it led to game director Hidemaro ...

The last ability shown in Tears of the Kingdom 's vertical gameplay demonstration, which can also be seen in previous trailers, is Ascend, which allows Link to go through ceilings, essentially "swimming" through until he reaches the floor above. The ability seemingly doesn't let the player choose an angled trajectory, as the demonstration shows Link shooting directly upwards, and while thin ceilings and platforms will allow Link to phase through almost instantly, others will require more time. T...
