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 memories this time aro

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

Just under a month away from the highly anticipated release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ , a new trailer has shown off more of the game's story than any previous material, including several returning characters from _Breath of the Wild . A rare direct sequel in the Zelda series, Tears of the Kingdom continues the story of its predecessor, placing Link back in the same open-world, post-apocalyptic Hyrule, with what looks like a bevvy of major changes to keep the game fresh. First revealed in 2019, Tears of the Kingdom is shaping up to be a massively ambitious game, well worth the w

Silent Shrooms in BOTW can be used in cooking to increase Link's stealth temporarily, and a Silent Shroom Arrow could have a similar functionality executed differently. Instead of increasing Link's stealth, a Silent Shroom Arrow could be used to put enemies it strikes to sleep, which would still allow for Link to approach his task with stealth. For the sake of stealth, an area of effect for the Silent Shroom Arrow could be beneficial for instances where players need to put a group of enemies to sleep without attracting attention in the proc

Diamonds in Breath of the Wild are used for Weapon Recovery and Armor Upgrades, but Fuse could give them a new set of uses through combining them with other items. Diamond Arrows could pierce through multiple enemies, even if the damage is reduced for each enemy hit. Another ability for Diamond Arrows could be breaking through rocks that would otherwise require a bomb to break, giving them utility outside of com

Though the ending of Breath of the Wild satisfied fans, it's also fair to say it's a rather abrupt end to the journey. With Tears of the Kingdom , players might not be as forgiving if the game's "post-game" is simply to return to a save before Ganon was beaten again. A story-based epilogue opening up to a post-game that gives the player new content would crown off the Tears of the Kingdom experience in the perfect

Developers seem to be setting up Tears of the Kingdom to be a mix of classic Zelda elements and new features that will help set it apart from its predecessors. The weapons listed here are so iconic to the franchise that if they were omitted from TOTK , it could be seen as a strange choice, especially with their inclusion in BOTW . There seems to be high expectations for a follow-up to BOTW and its open-world to include more unique features, but there's also room for the iconic weapons in The Legend of Zelda: ** _Tears of the Kingdom**

Sable , released in 2021, follows its titular character as she undergoes a rite of passage: a treacherous, but relaxing and beautiful journey known as the Gliding. Much like BOTW and TOTK , Sable makes use of a variety of traversal mechanics: cliff climbing, dune surfing, and hovercraft riding. Players will have to guide Sable through barren desert and crumbling ruins, solving puzzles and using abilities creatively to cross its open world. Friendly NPCs color in the richly detailed world, and often grant side quests. Fishing and bug catching offer amusing diversions from the main story - and will prove irresistible to completioni

Much like Hyrule Bass, Fortified Pumpkins in Breath of the Wild are mostly used for cooking. Since they're one of the foods favored by the Sheikah, Link can easily purchase them in Kakariko Village at a shop next to the pumpkin patch. However, Tears of the Kingdom could turn pumpkins into a weapon rather than having them be primarily used for cook

It could be safely said that the Master Sword is the single most iconic weapon in The Legend of Zelda temples and dungeons , 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
