Homing arrows aren't something we've seen Link use before, and it's worth noting that the glow that precedes his shot is similar to the one often emanating from his strange new arm. Could the powers granted to him by this arm be applied to various weapons you collect in the g

If Tears of the Kingdom has ships sailing around, then it's not out of the realm of possibility to think that Hyrule could be flooded during the events of TOTK . There are already floating islands, and it's possible that they could end up being an escape from the waters down below. Tears of the Kingdom may not be dark compared to other Zelda games, after all, but that doesn't mean that it won't see Hyrule experiencing another great turm

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.

The threat of extreme cold and heat seems to be making a return in Tears of the Kingdom - there's a scene in the trailer that shows dressed-down Link shivering in a freezing landscape - so likely wearable items will continue to play an important strategic role in gameplay.

With this update, the same types of combatants may fight differently depending on their Fused weapon of choice. A recurring theme in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer seems to be that players should expect a heightened need for creative problem-solving. That seems particularly true for in-game combat.

Zelda also wields a new slate this time around, that is far more reminiscent of the Switch than the Wii U, hinting that she either found a second for her own use, or Link no longer requires it thanks to the magical arm business he has going down. Yes, I am begging for Zelda to be playable , and all the pieces falling neatly into place like this doesn’t help matters.

How this new map addition connects to Calamity Ganon and his destruction of Hyrule's ground-dwelling civilization in the first game remains to be seen. But the teaser clearly shows Link discovering new villains, foraging different materials, and exploring unique landscapes on several sky islands.

An ancient evil has once again descended upon Hyrule, awakening a forgotten civilization in the sky and imbuing the land’s creatures with newfound power and aggression that will likely tear everything asunder. The stakes are high, with Hyrule Castle crumbling away into dust as red streaks of energy bubble and burst into the landscape. I’m not even sure if Ganon is the one talking in the trailer’s opening seconds, convinced Nintendo is throwing out a red herring as the previous calamity prepares to play a far more pivotal role in the upcoming story.

Another instance of an unfamiliar green power appears as Link fires off an arrow in the direction of one of the new flying enemies we see in this footage. Link's shot glows green before he releases, and even though this round-tipped arrow is aimed off to the side of his enemy, it manages to home in on the creature and strike

Naturally, the excitement surrounding TOTK stems in no small part from the smashing success of Breath of the Wild . BOTW innovated on the generations of open-world, action-adventure gameplay that came before it, but also possessed a unique identity, stressing creative locomotion and unbridled exploration, that inspired countless other developers. While there's no game that's just like Breath of the Wild , there are many games that make use of similar concepts, mechanics, and aesthetic, each offering a comparable but unique experie

On the subject of the floating islands, we've seen footage in past trailers for Tears of the Kingdom that shows Link reversing the trajectory of falling debris, presumably leading back up to these sky islands. Large portions of the islands have also been spotted around Hyrule, crash-landed into the surf

The highly anticipated Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel is titled Tears of the Kingdom , and promotional ads for the game so far have shown Link and Zelda traversing an underground cavern, Hyrule castle catastrophically disappearing into the sky, and a sobbing Zelda collapsing into Link's arms.

There are several tools that The Legend of Zelda Ancient Sages: Tears of the Kingdom ** could include that Breath of the Wild ** did not fully provide the player with. Link collects a wide variety of tools throughout the Zelda franchise, used for everything from transportation to manipulating his environment. But although BOTW featured a wide variety of weapons, some of which had secondary uses, it was curiously lacking in more permanent to

While there are no three-headed dragons present in Breath of the Wild, Link has faced off against similar creatures across The Legend of Zelda's history. Most notably, the first title in the series featured a boss named Gleeok, a similar three-headed dragon that is only defeated by the removal of its many heads. If that's the same creature, it would be making its 3D debut after being seen in various 2D titles , much like the Lynels of the previous g
