Recall, perhaps one of the more straightforward abilities, seems to function similarly to BOTW ‘s Stasis – but, instead of freezing objects, it sends them back through time, which might lend credence to certain Tears of the Kingdom time travel theories . In the showcase, the ability is used to ride a rock that fell from the sky back up to access a sky island, meaning that it has interesting applications for exploration – although it’s currently unknown if it can be used as freely as Stasis. For the time being, the ability seems like a way to get to sky islands in the early game, although which islands it can allow access to seems somewhat limi
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 pitched battle. When players encounter an environmental obstacle, they can build structures to overcome it, which can later be used by other players. Some structures require collaboration from multiple players, or occasional rep
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
Nintendo has unveiled a gameplay trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved Switch launch title, Breath of the Wild . The trailer, clocking in at just over two minutes, gives us our best look yet at the new monsters, locations, and gameplay elements present in this direct seq
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 explore the inspired open world of Tchia on PC, PS4, and
For fans that aren’t too concerned about the gameplay or story of the highly-anticipated Breath of the Wild sequel being a let-down, the release of Tears of the Kingdom can’t come soon enough. As a result, long and protracted delays could cause the biggest backlash from fans of all, ultimately even potentially tarnishing the release when it does eventually come. With the May release date still standing though, there’s reason to be optimis
The ability, while more straightforward in its use than Fuse or Ultrahand, seems like a handy aid for quicker Hyrule 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 likely related mostly to the ability’s range and maximum travelable dista
The next Tears of the Kingdom ability shown, Fuse, allows players to combine their weapons with objects and materials. From the footage, Link is shown fusing a rock onto the end of a basic stick to create a makeshift hammer, and a pitchfork with a long stick to create a comically over-sized spear. Importantly for BOTW’s controversial weapon durability , fusing the weapons seemingly resets their durability and, at least in the case of the stick/rock fusion, greatly extends it, while also increasing the weapon’s damage. Fusing weapons with materials, objects, or even other weapons can seemingly lead to specialized equipment, like the greatly extended range of the combined pitchf
Possibly the most unexpected part of this trailer is the inclusion of various vehicles that Link can ride. Although the prior game’s DLC saw the inclusion of a motorcycle for Link, that was technically a Divine Beast. These vehicles – including one that looks like a car, a hot air balloon, and a flying platform powered by propellors – seem to be pieced together from parts that are found throughout the wo
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.
