In Breath of the Wild, Link sees the ruins of the Temple of Time on The Great Plateau. Time travel, though, doesn't play much of a role in Link's quest to free the Divine Beasts and defeat Calamity Ganon.

Although the difficulty is subjective and everyone finds different things challenging, many fans were able to relate to the second phase being more like an interactive cut-scene than an actual fight if the player knows how to avoid getting hit. If Tears of the Kingdom is to reward experienced players of Breath of the Wild with more challenging bosses and shrines, then a final boss fight that is more consistently challenging would be a good st

Interestingly, another vehicle shown in the demonstration is a basic flying raft - a wooden platform fused with four downward-facing fans and a sail, allowing it to move with the direction of the wind. The limited battery, however, seems to greatly restrict such devices from gaining too much height, which is a far cry from the sky-faring vehicles previously seen in trailers. While not elaborated on in the gameplay demonstration, Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com it seems likely that Tears of the Kingdom 's progression will eventually allow for dedicated ways of building more complicated vehicles, with much greater or even unlimited energy suppl

Aside from using the ability for exploration, however, Recall can also be spotted being used in a previous trailer for Tears of the Kingdom . In it, Link uses the ability on a large metal spiked ball rolling down a hill at him, sending the object back up its path and crashing it through several enemies. Like Stasis from BOTW , the specific use cases of Recall seem somewhat niche in combat situations, with the ability seemingly being most useful for turning the tables on preset traps, but creative players may yet be able to find creative uses for it upon the full game's rele

And no, these aerial animals aren't the same as the graceful, sinuous dragons of Breath of the Wild (although they make an appearance in the demo too). At the very end of the gameplay trailer, Link rides past a creature that appears to be carrying some other living thing in its massive claws.

Catching insects, lizards and other small critters in Breath of the Wild is a matter of careful movements and quick reflexes, as stealth is a key factor in not scaring the small animals away. Meanwhile, the Bug Net is a familiar Zelda tool that nevertheless failed to make it into BOTW . Infamously a Zelda item capable of reflecting magic , its intended use is naturally to help Link capture small creatures, typically insects, for a variety of purposes. If the Bug Net is included in Tears of the Kingdom , it will make doing so much easier, and as a result, the player would have a greater supply of useful elixir ingredie

The ability, while more straightforward in its use than Fuse or Ultrahand, seems like a handy aid for quicker exploration, allowing Link to skip climbing in certain areas - and also bypassing the need to manage stamina. Additionally, Ascend seems likely to be an opportunity for TOTK to add some devious secrets or puzzles, like rooms or areas hidden beneath the ceiling of one area and the floor of another. However, the demonstration also mentions certain limitations to the ability, which are likely related mostly to the ability's range and maximum travelable dista

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.

If there's one disappointing thing to come out of the marketing for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , it's the fact that Zelda looks to need rescuing again, a classic Zelda series element that all the games seem to have. That would be a disappointment to Redditors like CaughttheDarkness for whom the thing they most want to see in the sequel is simply "playable Zel

Until recently, the only information that could be used to glean anything about Tears of the Kingdom and its plot was contained in the trailers, alongside some other details that have been announced. It's known that the story will feature Hyrule once again being thrown into an apocalyptic situation, as it is seen crumbling under an energy that is eerily similar to that wielded by Calamity Ganon in BOTW . In addition, Link has a glowing arm in TOTK that appears to be a significant part of his arsenal in the new game. However, the biggest hints so far may have come from recent alleged Tears of the Kingdom leaks of the artb

If Tears of the Kingdom leads to the flooding of Hyrule, then it could secretly be the prequel to The Wind Waker . This idea could play into the Tears of the Kingdom trailer from the most recent Nintendo Direct. Ganon's minions are raging, and his influence is still strong across the land despite his defeat. That combined with the TOTK leak potentially hinting at time-travel could see the flood, and therefore the Wind Waker timeline as a future that Link must avoid. While Hyrule may get buried beneath the waves, it could be Link's duty to make sure that it doesn't stay that
