<br>A particularly promising possible returning boss for Tears of the Kingdom is the iconic Zelda giant hand boss Bongo Bongo. It would be great to see a revised version of Bongo Bongo, the first of four hand bosses to appear throughout the series, and his creepy nature and origins could fit right in with the BOTW sequel. The original Bongo Bongo's connections to dark power and shadow fit in well with the Malice found in BOTW , and fans could perhaps learn more of its lore in a new appeara<br><br> <br>Nevertheless, the fact that Starfield will let players customize ships, the crew, and even bases across multiple planets, gives us a hint at the sheer scale of the game. With returning marquee features such as detailed skill trees, extensive crafting, a comprehensive dialogue/persuasion system, and support for community mods, Starfield might just give The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom some tough competition in 2<br><br> <br>Final Fantasy 16 already looks like my ideal blend of FFXIV and Ivalice games. A high fantasy setting, warring kingdoms, Eikons fighting in kaiju battles - where do I sign up! I’m not quite sold on FF16 's combat, as seen in trailers , but I trust Yoshi-P and the team at Creative Business Unit III. The more fantasy-leaning JRPGs have always been my favorites, and I can’t wait to see what FF16 ’s world and story have in store. It’s been a while since I’ve truly fallen in love with a Final Fantasy game, so I’m hoping FF16 recaptures that feeling.

By cooking meals in Breath of the Wild , the player can restore a lot of health in an instant, while potentially benefitting from bonus effects.

Not only is Zelda foundational to my own gaming experience, but Breath of the Wild is a seminal release that has had a positive impact on open-world games at large. TOTK could offer only the slightest changes to BOTW and I would be content to spend hundreds more hours in Hyrule, but Nintendo’s focus on innovation has me confident that even this direct sequel will be uni<br><br> <br>However, with Web of Wyrd ’s release date still undetermined, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is my most anticipated game of 2023. Despite being pretty burned out on Marvel over the last several years, Insomniac’s depiction of the mythos in the Peter Parker-led Marvel’s Spider-Man and its Miles Morales spinoff has stood out as a major breath of fresh air. With the chance to expand the open-world of the past two games and put the power of PS5 to full use, I’m very much looking forward to seeing how Insomniac’s web-slingers have evolved when Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 releases this fa<br> <br>Just like The Legend of Zelda , Harry Potter was a big part of many people's childhoods.

Street Fighter 6 , Hogwarts Legacy , and - of course - Marvel's Spider-Man 2 , are also set to make this year extra special as some of the most highly-anticipated games of 2023 . As well as AAA releases, the indie scene is also set for an exciting year, with titles like Broken Roads and Cassette Beasts already making waves. There's even the potential for new consoles this year, with rumors of a Nintendo Switch Pro and a newer model of PS5 as rife as e<br><br> <br>Many fans enjoyed the previous system of Divine Beasts in Breath of the Wild that went alongside other overworld bosses. However, there are certainly players who would enjoy seeing somewhat of a return to form in terms of mechanics from previous games, particularly when it comes to dungeons and bosses. With so many iconic bosses that have appeared throughout the series, many fans can't help but wonder what Tears of the Kingdom will have in store when it comes to these big fights, and if any fan-favorites will ret<br>
