Overall, the top half of the image is dominated by darker colors reminiscent of the night sky. But at the bottom of the image are Link and Zelda, framed by the Temple of Time. Interestingly, Link wears his outfit from Hyrule Warriors while Zelda wears her outfit from Twilight Princess . The model for this tattoo clearly wanted to unabashedly and seamlessly piece together their favorite elements of every single **The Legend of Zelda ** __ g

Of course, this stalemate cannot last forever. Already, Zelda’s power is waning, so Rhoam tasks Link with rescuing the princess and defeating Calamity Ganon before her strength is fully exhausted. As part of this quest, Link is also instructed to free the Divine Beasts, which would be invaluable in the final battle. Finally, with his own strength reaching his limits, the King gives Link his paraglider and instructs the young hero to seek out Impa of Kakariko Village, who will guide him further. The King’s spirit then disappears once m

The gameplay demo shows Link attaching a Tree Branch to a rock and an abandoned pitchfork for long-range, more powerful attack weapons. Like Breath of the Wild's campfire-cooked potions and meals, this new Fuse ability will be a game-changer for how Link uses the landscape to his advantage. You can even craft arrows with special abilities. Keese Eyeballs anyone?

In a similar vein to Fuse, the Ultrahand ability allows Link to bind objects together, being the method for creating the vehicles previously seen in trailers. Functioning similarly to the previous game's Magnesis ability, Link uses it first to pick up objects, rotate them, and move them around, being able to stick them to the surfaces of other objects once in proximity. In the demonstration, Link creates a rudimentary boat by fusing three logs and two strange mechanical fans, with the fans starting when hit and seemingly operating off of a limited, but replenishing battery gauge similar to Link's own stam

Recall, perhaps one of the more straightforward abilities, seems to function similarly to BOTW 's Stasis - but, instead of freezing objects, it sends them back through time, which might lend credence to certain Tears of the Kingdom time travel theories . In the showcase, the ability is used to ride a rock that fell from the sky back up to access a sky island, meaning that it has interesting applications for exploration - although it's currently unknown if it can be used as freely as Stasis. For the time being, the ability seems like a way to get to sky islands in the early game, although which islands it can allow access to seems somewhat limi

At first glance, the land of Hyrule looks near-identical to Breath of the Wild's post-apocalyptic, Guardian-infested map. In the official trailer, you'll notice Link riding around on horseback in the tell-tale green fields of Hyrule's central region.

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 tears of the kingdom crafting guide to be playable , and all the pieces falling neatly into place like this doesn’t help matters.

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

However, Ganon proved to be impossible to defeat. He corrupted the Guardians and Divine Beasts, turning them against Hyrule when he finally emerged, and the four Champions perished. At the same time, the Princess' knight was mortally wounded, leaving Calamity Ganon Free to destroy Hyrule. Just when all hope seemed lost, Princess Zelda awoke her divine powers and trapped Ganon inside Hyrule Castle. Link is, of course, her knight, finally healed after 100 years by the aptly-named Shrine of Resurrection. Zelda, meanwhile, is trapped alongside Ganon inside the castle, holding him back; it is her voice that has been calling out to L

Like the Crab Arrows and Pumpkin Arrows, using Fuse to make Bee Honey Arrows in TOTK could be another way to add utility to combat for Link. A Bee Honey Arrow could stick an enemy in place, effectively stunning them. It could also be useful if Link could use a Bee Honey Arrow to spread honey on the ground at a distance that could act as a trap to stick an en

While prerelease info regarding the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ **** has been somewhat scarce, a new gameplay showcase has given an in-depth look at some of Link's new abilities. As a rare direct sequel in the _Zelda franchise, Tears of the Kingdom continues the story started in Breath of the Wild , bringing Link back to the same post-apocalyptic Hyrule. However, while the overall landscape seems to be remaining similar to Breath of the Wild 's, new additions like mysterious floating islands and gameplay changes like the ability to build vehicles promise to provide big shake-ups to the game's open wo
