The Nintendo Switch has some visually stunning games but its limitations have begun to show more and more in recent years, with the troubled Pokémon Scarlet and Violet release reminding people that it's simply not a very powerful machine, particularly in comparison to the newest generation of consoles. Tears of the Kingdom will inevitably aim to be a beautiful experience on a grand scale, which is why the Switch 2 Duplication Glitch's graphical and technical limitations might become more noticeable than e
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
This is another combination with high potential for utility, but with the drawback of doing little to no damage. Mighty Bananas are notoriously loved by the Yiga Clan in BOTW , and they're easy to obtain since they can be purchased from Emri in Kara Kara Bazaar. Taking a feature from Mario Kart , Mighty Banana Arrows could be used to make enemies slip, stunning them for a short period of time, and possibly doing a minimal amount of damage, if
Using Fuse in TOTK on a Fortified Pumpkin and an arrow could create a type of utility arrow to stun or blind enemies. A Pumpkin Arrow could bind a Fortified Pumpkin onto the head of the enemy it hits. Even if the Pumpkin Arrow didn't do damage when it hits an enemy, the utility of blinding an enemy for a set period of time could be a lifesaver for players in situations such as being outnumbe
**The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom ** may already be many people's prediction for Game of the Year 2023, but those sky-high expectations have also given Redditors some fears about the release.. Breath of the Wild is special title and the massive amounts of critical acclaim and commercial success that met its release raised the bar for the Zelda series as a whole. As a result, many are assuming that its sequel will only continue what it star
Shield surfing is a fast and fun way to traverse Hyrule’s hills and mountains, but as with mining it comes with a price. Like weapons, shields also come with their own durability, and shield surfing in Breath of the Wild is an activity that will damage them. A dedicated Surf Board in Tears of the Kingdom would allow players to shred the slopes without fear of leaving themselves undefended in the event of a monster attack. It would also remove the possibility of a shield breaking mid-surf. If players ignore the warnings when durability runs low, this can even prove deadly for Link as he is thrown to the gro
Though there hasn't been any explicit indication that Zelda: TOTK will re-introduce any of the elements that have defined the Zelda series over the years which Breath of the Wild omitted, some fans are expecting it to do just that. In fact, Redditor Nova604 admits that they're " afraid they won't give us the hookshot" 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
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
As one of Breath of the Wild 's most popular side characters, it's not surprising to see the return of Prince Sidon. Perhaps more surprising, though, is what seems to be his new role in gameplay, as TOTK 's last trailer shows him fighting an enemy alongside Link as a companion character - a major expansion on his relatively minor role helping against the Divine Beast Vah Rutah in BOTW . Keen-eyed viewers may also be able to spot a crown on his head, as well as a mysterious "tear" on the back of his hand, suggesting that he may have a significant role to play in TOTK 's st
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom seems likely to follow a similarly open-ended format to the one that made Breath of the Wild the Zelda series' most successful title but there's one thing about the formula it could change for the better. Redditor GoldenTirade certainly thinks so, commenting that they want to see "a postgame/epilogue aside from the main story" in the seq![]()
