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?

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ has plenty of iconic weapons and items that it can include in the game. Over its long history, _Zelda games have featured a variety of weapons for Link to use in his fight against evil threats. While not all have stood the test of time, there are some that are recognized as iconic and have reappeared in multiple games across the franch

Ore Deposits across BOTW ’s Hyrule allow the player to gather everything from Rock Salt to Gemstones. However, mining these deposits comes with a cost. Breaking the rocks generally means sacrificing some of a weapon’s durability, which in BOTW is of course a precious resource itself. On the other hand, it is also possible to break open Deposits with bombs, but this often leads to the contents being flung far wildly. In a worst-case scenario, this can even lead to some items being lost, especially if mining along cliffs. A pickaxe or similar item, perhaps an unbreakable version of BOTW ’s Iron Sledgehammer, would solve both of these issues with min

Out of the confirmed returning character, Riju gets what might be the flashiest entrance in the new TOTK trailer, as it shows her dual wielding scimitars while lightning crashes down around her. Although not explicitly shown doing so, it's likely that she will be able to fight alongside Link similarly to Sidon, with potentially even the ability to replicate the Urbosa's Fury power from the first game. Along with the mysterious structure shown rising out of the sand in the Gerudo Wasteland near the start of the trailer, it's likely that, along with Sidon and the other Champion descendants, Riju will have a more pronounced story role in TO

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

The Woodcutter’s Axe is one of the weapons in BOTW which has a dedicated secondary purpose. As the name implies, it deals extra damage against trees, making the axe an excellent choice of weapon for collecting wood as it can chop them down expeditiously. As an actual weapon, however, it is remarkably cumbersome to wield, and forces Link to attack with slow, sweeping blows. Should the item come back in Tears of the Kingdom , though, it would make more sense for the axe to become a proper tool. With little value as a weapon, a permanent inventory addition for resource collection fits the Woodcutter’s Axe much bet

What elevates this particular tattoo, however, is the addition of the powerful Mandela-like Triforce art at the end of wolf Link’s mane. The detailed florets and the icons of the Seven Sages contrast well with the softer lines of the wolf’s fur, providing a gradient of defined-to-blurred line work. The placement of the wolf’s head at the elbow also accentuates the contour of the forearm muscle. This is a great example of why not all tattoos need color to stand out (by @EG-TheFreak on DeviantA

Often fans like to focus on what a highly-anticipated sequel like The Legend of Zelda Survival Tips: Tears of the Kingdom could add to the original game to make a more fun final product but removing certain elements could be just as fruitful. Redditor DinoRedRex99 certainly thinks so as they emphatically ask for no more weapon durability mechanics in the game unless they "at least make them repairable or somethi

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

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
