One easy way that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom might be able to win over fans is by re-introducing the themed dungeons that were a trademark of the Zelda series for so long. Every game except Breath of the Wild had this dungeon dwelling as a means to gain abilities and weaponry. Whilst Breath of the Wild 's Divine Beasts proved a challenging and unique twist on the formula, the change had fans like Redditor BarbacoaSan lamenting the lack of "old Zelda dungeons with their own them
To no surprise, Link returns as the protagonist and main playable character of Tears of the Kingdom , and while his combat and exploration mechanics remain similar to BOTW , TOTK also gives Link plenty of new abilities , seemingly courtesy of his new mechanical arm. Expanding on Link's climbing and gliding, Tears of the Kingdom will give him the ability to fuse objects together to craft new weapons, arrows, shields, and even entire vehicles for traversing through water or air, perfectly suiting the game's floating sky islands and greatly expanding the options for both exploration and combat. Moreover, unlike in BOTW , Link seems to get to keep his voice memories feature this time aro
For The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to please die-hard fans of its predecessor, it might have to present a challenge of a more appropriate difficulty for experienced players. Whilst Breath of the Wild had some difficult shrines , Redditor FroakieUnlimited was mainly disappointed by the game's conclusion and the fact that "the second stage of the final fight was so trivi
Aside from using the ability for exploration, however, Recall can also be spotted being used in a previous trailer for Tears of the Kingdom . In it, Link uses the ability on a large metal spiked ball rolling down a hill at him, sending the object back up its path and crashing it through several enemies. Like Stasis from BOTW , the specific use cases of Recall seem somewhat niche in combat situations, with the ability seemingly being most useful for turning the tables on preset traps, but creative players may yet be able to find creative uses for it upon the full game's rele
Whilst Tears of the Kingdom is expected to make sizable improvements on Breath of the Wild, it could also please fans simply by adding fun new mechanics unrelated to the main game. One mistake everyone makes playing Breath of the Wild is not savoring the small things enough but Redditor Kiyooshi 's suggestion of a "more customizable" house "with options for decor and maybe some pets" would help everyone to do
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
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
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 B
Tears of the Kingdom's Link can merge different items together with Fuse. And not just some items; at least if the trailer is any indication, pretty much everything within the interactive environment is up for grabs.
This certainly isn't a new addition to the wishlist of Zelda fans and the outcry about being unable to pet the dogs in Breath of the Wild was so great that it led to game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi having to explain why they were unable to implement the feature (via IGN .) Though his explanation was reasonable, fans still might be disappointed if nothing changes in Tears of the Kingd
