With the game's sky islands being such an important part of the experience, a persistent cyclone like this swirling in the clouds is definitely worth keeping an eye on. Who knows what kind of havoc it could wind up causing to both the floating islands above Hyrule and the land be The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ is the highly anticipated sequel to _Breath of the Wild , and as such is bringing new features to its predecessor's open-world gameplay, including an ability that will let pla...

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...

This tattoo of the Fairy Queen from The Wind Waker has to be the most wholesome Zelda tattoo. The Fairy Queen with her child-like, yet almost alien design, is an unfortunately overlooked character in the Zelda series, but this tattoo does justice to both her power and her adorable appearance. The bright sky-blue of one of the best Legend of Zelda Great Fairies works well against the brownish-pink tones of the skin, and also allows the primary colors of the Goddess Pearls to still be clear in the...

While the Hookshot might be more commonly used in Zelda as a tool to help Link get to places he'd otherwise be unable to reach, it can also be a good weapon with its versatility. Depending on the enemies and the game, the Hookshot can pull either the enemy to Link or vice versa. Smaller enemies can be defeated by hitting them with the Hookshot, and it has the capability of stunning larger enemies. Even Dampé in Ocarina of Time considered the Hookshot to be a treas More: Link’s Best Swords In The...

My key takeaway is the bravery Nintendo has shown when it comes to expanding upon Breath of the Wild with a sequel that not only takes place in the same world, but questions its history and the characters within it we’ve already come to know and love. No longer confined by tragic flashbacks and environmental storytelling, Link and Zelda now occupy the present day and will make choices lined with immense and immediate consequences. We are set to learn so much about them and likely come to view th...

Breath of the Wild is a sprawling experience but whether all of its additional content landed, particularly the purely completionist elements like collecting all of the Korok seeds, is a matter of debate. For fans that have had six years to get to grips with the game's mechanics and its world, Tears of the Kingdom could easily become boring a lot quicker if it's simply more of the same. That's why a focus on brevity could be the best way to ensure the sequel doesn't disappo Naturally, the excite...

Admittedly, this one feels a bit like cheating. Still, the Master Sword is the iconic primary weapon of the Zelda series. It's already an absolute powerhouse of a weapon in Breath of the Wild, especially after being fully powered up, but Tears of the Kingdom's new systems open up a world of possibilit 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 i...

Enemy variety was one of Breath of the Wild 's strong suits but giving old enemies extra attacks or armor won't be enough to make for the challenging new combat encounters fans will need to truly enjoy the new game. Fans are also hoping to see the return of fan-favorite enemies like ReDeads and Darknuts, so this is one area where fans would be bitterly disappointed if Tears of the Kingdom went for a lazier optMy key takeaway is the bravery Nintendo has shown when it comes to expanding upon Breat...

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ is the highly anticipated sequel to _Breath of the Wild , and as such is bringing new features to its predecessor's open-world gameplay, including an ability that will let players combine their arrows with a variety of items. Breath of the Wild introduced elements that allowed for plenty of customization, letting players be creative in the way they approached the game. Now, it looks like Tears of the Kingdom is taking the free-form aspect even furt If ...

Like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom , while Tchia draws on games that came before it, it also has its own identity. The detailed world building, based on New Caledonia's folklore and culture, is complemented by cutscenes voiced in the traditional languages of the archipelago. In its most novel mechanic, Tchia allows players to inhabit and control a wide variety of things in the open world, including animals like birds, sharks, and dogs along with inanimate objects. Players can explo...
