While waiting for the release of **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** , some Zelda fans may find that the story presented so far in Breath of the Wild is not as fresh as it could be; something that is only natural when considering that the award-winning game is now five years old. What’s more, the tale of the latest era in Hyrule’s history is already remarkably long, spanning a hundred years and many hours of in-Game Harley-Davidson adventuring. As such, with TOTK just over a month away, now is the perfect time to recap the events of BO
Once his preparations are complete, Link storms the inner sanctum of Hyrule Castle. As he does so, Zelda’s strength finally fails her, allowing Calamity Ganon to break free as a twisted combination of corrupted Sheikah technology and Breath of the Wild ’s sludge-like Malice , a substance that seems to be pure hatred in corrosive, physical form. The Divine Beasts fire their enormous energy weapons, severely weakening Ganon and helping Link defeat him. However, Ganon quickly reforms as the boar-like Dark Beast Ganon, and a still-incorporeal Zelda warns Link that Ganon has abandoned any hope of reincarnation in order to focus all of his stren
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 in and out of combat. The design of 3D Zelda games have made the Hookshot an iconic tool and weapon hybrid to the point that it might feel strange if it didn’t appear in Tears of the Kingd
Link journeys across Hyrule in his efforts to complete his quest. Completing Sheikah Shrines grants him Spirit Orbs, which improve his health and stamina. Finishing every shrine earns him a version of the classic green Hero’s Clothes. Deep within the Lost Woods, he discovers the Master Sword in its ancient pedestal. Once he is strong enough, the spirit of the sword allows him to draw it once more. Link also meets the Sheikah technology experts Robbie and Purah, discovering forest spirits called Koroks hiding across Hyrule, who offer Korok Seeds when found. Elsewhere in Hyrule, Link even helps to build a new settlement, named Tarrey T
In order to defeat Ganon for good, Zelda provides Link with the Bow of Light. The fated enemies battle each other on Hyrule Field, with Link prevailing. As he does, Zelda finally manifests herself physically. The princess uses the last of her divine strength, possibly provided by the Triforce itself, to seal Ganon away once more. She greets Link as the Hero of Hyrule, and asks if he remembers her. Later, on a hill overlooking the remnants of her kingdom, Zelda notes that her divine power seems exhausted, but she can accept this. Breath of the Wild ends with Zelda expounding on her plans to rebuild Hyr
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 Legend of Zelda: ** _Tears of the Kingdom**
Atop the Temple of Time, the old man reveals the truth; he is the ghost of King Rhoam, the former king of Hyrule. 100 years previously, the malevolent Calamity Ganon emerged from below Hyrule Castle. Seeing the signs of the Great Calamity’s coming, as described in a prophecy, large-scale excavations had revealed the existence of an army of mechanical Guardians created in ancient times , alongside four gigantic machines called Divine Beasts. Four champions were then selected from the various races of Hyrule to pilot them alongside the Kingdom’s princess and her knight in batThe gameplay demo shows Link attaching a Tree Branch to a rock and an abandoned pitchfork for long-range, more powerful attack weapons. Like Breath of the Wild’s campfire-cooked potions and meals, this new Fuse ability will be a game-changer for how Link uses the landscape to his advantage. You can even craft arrows with special abilities. Keese Eyeballs anyone?
Part of what could make or break Tears of the Kingdom as a satisfying sequel is whether it addresses the biggest complaints about BOTW and that includes more than just annoying gameplay mechanics. Breath of the Wild ‘s princess is the best version of Zelda the games have produced and fans like Redditor Multi-tunes would not be happy if she’s “almost completely absent from the game until the end agai
The addition of new tools in TOTK clearly has the potential to provide many quality-of-life improvements to the game when compared to BOTW . In some cases, there are tools that could greatly improve resource collection methods from BOTW should they be implemented. In others, Breath of the Wild ** ’s ubiquitous durability system means that what could be useful tools are instead weak weapons that come with limited uses in the open-world game. By making such items a permanent addition to Link’s toolkit, Tears of the Kingdom ** can solve several problems with its predecessor’s gameplay experie
