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

It only makes sense: Switch 2 Duplication Glitch with Master Sword being broken, this could give the weapon some use prior to being repaired. We're hoping this means the Master Sword is also eligible for combinations, and we can't wait to see what the Flameblade, Royal Broadsword, and other powerful weapons will form when combined with the legendary bl

While mostly sidelined in Breath of the Wild with much of her presence relegated to optional flashbacks, Zelda seems to be taking on a somewhat more active role in the story of Tears of the Kingdom , with the game's most recent trailer featuring her prominently in what seem to be story-related cutscenes. Along with her new look, Zelda's more pronounced role in pre-release material has even sparked some hopes that she might be playable in the game's full release - although this has yet to be confirmed one way or the ot

There are two very distinct iterations of Link seen throughout most of the trailers thus far. One is dressed in his signature blue tunic with his snazzy new gauntlet, while the other is letting his hair down and freeing the nipple with luscious pecs and a more unconventional version of the new tool. It’s more akin to a tattoo and protruding objects than an item of clothing and raises further questions about exactly what this game has in store for us.

Combining simple black icons with vivid bursts of color can also be a recipe for success. This Breath of the Wild tattoo captures the symbols for the four Champion’s Abilities that Link gains upon defeating the Divine Beasts. The smoky effect of the color splashes gives a mystical vibe and ties the entire tattoo into one, cohesive work of art rather than four distinct tattoos. The forearm position also allows for a great long canvas on which to display this particular tattoo (by @apothecaryjuices on Tumb

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 the work. Both characters are given more agency here, which should allow Tears of the Kingdom to breach narrative boundaries this series has never toyed with before.

There are a few weapons in Breath of the Wild that utilize the mysterious and powerful Sheikah tech that powers t he game's shrines and Divine Beasts. Easily identified by their glowing blue blades and distinct hilts, most of these weapons are perfectly viable for any hero of Hyrule, with the Ancient Short Sword line offering a solid balance between power and sp

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , brings fans back to the previous game's beloved incarnation of Hyrule while introducing a suite of brand-new locations, enemies, and abilities. One of the new abilities in the game, Fuse, allows Link to combine multiple weapons to create new and unique armaments to use on the monsters and constructs found in Hyr

Despite having been teased by Nintendo several times, the story of Tears of the Kingdom has remained mostly a mystery, with most of the game's short teasers, trailers, and gameplay showcases keeping many aspects of TOTK tightly under wraps. Whereas new powers, enemy types, and the game's floating sky islands have all been known features for a while, past trailers have provided only slight hints at the game's plot. With the release fast approaching, however, the final pre-release trailer for Tears of the Kingdom has at long last revealed more, including several popular characters returning from Breath of the Wi

The final moments of the new trailer has Zelda asking an unknown entity to lend Link their power, followed immediately by a shot of the Hero of Time reaching out for the Princess as the ground beneath her gives way and she falls into oblivion. This particular sequence likely takes place in the opening hours beneath the ruins of Hyrule Castle, with Link and Zelda seeking out the remains of Calamity Ganon following his defeat. Nintendo has not been shy about showing his decaying corpse, radiating mythical dark energy as its hollow eye sockets lock onto whatever poor soul it encounters. And yet his role remains a mystery.

The Hyrule Bass is a common fish that returned in Breath of the Wild after appearing in other Zelda games prior. Another returning creature in water locations is the Octorock, which can be annoying to fight due to its defensive nature. Hyrule Bass are useful for cooking recipes in Zelda: Breath of the Wild , but Fuse could combine them with arrows and allow Link to distract Octorocks with fish while he defeats them without worrying about their defen
