Like the Master Sword, a bow and arrows show up frequently in Zelda games, and often with different types of arrows that can be earned or found. The typical magic arrow types: fire, ice, and light, all have their own uses, making the bow a more versatile weapon, and it's even occasionally necessary for solving puzzles. How strong different arrows are can vary in Zelda games, especially with Light Arrows' magic powers . But given the possibility that Zelda is indisposed during at least a portion of TOTK , the Light Arrows could be an iconic addition as well as useful for Link as he fights against evil forces without the help of Zelda's divine powers, which were crucial against Calamity Ga

Although it's novel, the Double Axe could be even more powerful in Tears of the Kingdom. Combining its reach with the hefty power of the upgraded Ancient Battle Axe could give you a dual-bladed ancient weapon capable of clearing whole cro

Whilst Breath of the Wild seemed to indicate a move away from previous Zelda games' reliance on sequentially receiving a set roster of items to progress, the hookshot seems like it could integrate perfectly into the new games' focus on free exploration. With the tighter mechanics of the new generation of Zelda games, rappelling to higher points would be more fun than ever and a smart addition to Tears of the Kingd

What elevates this tattoo even higher are the small details. The heads of each of the four bosses in Majora’s Mask surround the clock face, echoing the tribal design of Skull Kid. These bosses seem to be emanating clouds of steam that rise up and envelop the moon. Lastly, the sketch of Tatl at the bottom implies that she is going to be added to the tattoo at a later date as a border to the entire image (by @chronicink on Twitt

The tattoo has an overall S-shaped curve to it, guided by the stone headpiece and led down the body by the "arm" of hair down to the hand at the end, which Midna almost seems to pose on top of. This technique recalls Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, but captured with a much edgier, more mischievous model instead (by @electric.feels.studio on Instagr

The hookshot is far from the only classic Zelda item that Breath of the Wild removed in aid of both its shift away from the Zelda series' traditional sequential system of gaining key items and the new exploration mechanics, but it's perhaps the most beloved. Whilst the idea that they stay committed to denying the player a hookshot doesn't seem major, it would likely mean traversal in general isn't getting refreshed and that would be a bigger disappointm

So why not combine the torch with another fire-based weapon with a little more damage-dealing capability? The Meteor Rod, an upgrade to the Fire Rod, allows you to blast three small fireballs forward with every swing. Give this already-glowing fire weapon the Ascend Ability to be held idly to light your path while retaining its flame orb functions, and both of these weapons would see their respective strengths impro

Throughout the Legend of Zelda series, the princess has often been disappointingly reduced to a damsel-in-distress role, but her Breath of the Wild characterization made her far more human and likable as a character. Now would be the perfect time for her to have more agency which is why there have been countless calls for her to be a playable character in the sequel. For Tears of the Kingdom to ignore fans and give her the same clichéd role again would be more than disappoint

While the Cobble Crusher (and its upgraded variation, the Boulder Breaker) are pretty solid for combat, its primary purpose is usually destroying boulders and other large objects. To make this handy weapon more viable for regular use, combine it with the Great Frostblade. This large, frigid sword should improve the Cobble Crusher's attack power while also embedding it with ice abilities, making it even more useful in the Death Mountain reg

Similar to the Hookshot, the Boomerang is a weapon that sacrifices some damage for the sake of utility. The Boomerang can generally be used to defeat or stun enemies, activate distant switches, and bring items to Link. Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess , which still don't have Switch ports, Increased the usefulness of the Boomerang by allowing players to lock onto multiple targets at once instead of just a single target. Breath of the Wild even included the option to use the Boomerang as a more direct weapon, letting the player brandish it like a sword and perform melee atta

It could be safely said that the Master Sword is the single most iconic weapon in The Legend of Zelda , and acquiring it is often an important milestone in Link's journey. The Master Sword in its original form was created by the Goddess Hylia so that her chosen hero could complete its creation and make it into a sword that repels evil. As an added bonus, the Master Sword in Breath of the Wild doesn't have weapon durability , making it the only weapon that doesn't need to be repaired. A broken form of the sword is shown in TOTK trailers, but a full, repaired version of the Master Sword is a must-have for any Zelda g
