Interestingly, however, despite indications that Zelda might be reprising her perennial role as a damsel in distress, the final trailer for Tears of the Kingdom seems to suggest otherwise, despite her separation from Link in what appears to be an early part of the game. Cutscenes, presumably from later in TOTK , separately show Zelda interacting with a currently unknown character, holding the Master Sword, and awaiting Link at an unknown location, suggesting that she has a larger role to play in the game’s story than in BStarting from one of the sky islands, Link can leap to the surface and scan the landscape from a (literal) bird’s eye view. Similarly, you can also target specific locations while experiencing the long fall to ground-level.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 final tattoo is a tableau of the darker elements from practically every 3D Zelda game . It’s impressive how the colors and shapes come together in a cohesive way despite the differing aesthetics of each game. The roundness of Majora’s Mask ’s moon, for example, is echoed by the round cogs of the Gate of time travel paradoxes from Skyward Sword . The blue from the Gate of Time is then copied by the Deku Baba design from Ocarina of Time (by @itsjustbeebe on InstagrThe 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?
Shadow of the Colossus may not be a completely open-ended game like BOTW and TOTK , but it does put emphasis on atmosphere and exploration. The game is structured in 16 ordered cycles: in each one, players must locate a particular Colossus, learn its weakness, and defeat it. There’s very little to be found off the beaten path, aside from items to raise max HP and stamina, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to explore. Finding these bosses is easier said than done, and the game provides scant hints as to their location. Getting to them often requires thoughtful navigation around obstacles, or lonely treks through forgotten ru
Catching insects, lizards and other small critters in Breath of the Wild is a matter of careful movements and quick reflexes, as stealth is a key factor in not scaring the small animals away. Meanwhile, the Bug Net is a familiar Zelda tool that nevertheless failed to make it into BOTW . Infamously a Zelda item capable of reflecting magic , its intended use is naturally to help Link capture small creatures, typically insects, for a variety of purposes. If the Bug Net is included in Tears of the Kingdom , it will make doing so much easier, and as a result, the player would have a greater supply of useful elixir ingredie
With less than a month before the release of Tears of the Kingdom , more news on the game’s story and characters is a welcome hype booster, especially with much of its pre-release promotional cycle having been especially secretive and vague. While some characters, like Yunobo or Impa, are conspicuous by their absence in the game’s final trailer, there’s still likely a huge amount of _The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ that will remain a secret until the game’s lau
A first-look trailer that showed Zelda plunging into a pit and a more recent trailer that showed a lot of gameplay of Link and no appearance from the princess seems to all but confirm she won’t be a playable character. However, this is something that fans have been asking for ever since her expanded role in Breath of the Wild and many are likely to continue holding out hope until there’s explicit confirmation she won’t be playable in Tears of the Kingd
Midna’s true form, revealed in Twilight Princess doesn’t appear here, instead, her impish design has been honored. As Midna appears to have tattoos herself, making her the perfect subject for a tattoo. The digital Twilight Realm markings on her body are rigid, turning at right angles. Contrasting this with her natural curves and flowing hair makes for a fantastic design. Additionally, the colors stay true to the original game, captured with impeccable det
Another classic Zelda tool missing from Breath of the Wild , the Fishing Rod, would give much easier access to another category of Hyrule’s wildlife in Tears of the Kingdom . In BOTW , catching fish, much like other creatures, is achieved with careful timing. That being said, though, bombs are a viable option for expediting the process. Nevertheless, including the Fishing Rod in Breath of the Wild ’s sequel would doubtlessly make catching fish a much more relaxing and enjoyable experience. Notably, it opens the possibility for a minigame that could be playable at any major body of water in the game wo
