As far as damage goes, the Hookshot isn't the best choice for a weapon unless a player is fighting very small enemies that can be killed with one hit. Rather, it provides utility for players both in and out of combat. The design of 3D Zelda games have made the Hookshot an iconic tool and weapon hybrid to the point that it might feel strange if it didn't appear in Tears of the Kingd
My key takeaway is the bravery Nintendo has shown when it comes to expanding upon breath of the wild exploration of the Wild with a sequel that not only takes place in the same world, but questions its history and the characters within it we’ve already come to know and love. No longer confined by tragic flashbacks and environmental storytelling, Link and Zelda now occupy the present day and will make choices lined with immense and immediate consequences. We are set to learn so much about them and likely come to view them as different people by the time it’s all over. Not just in this game, but how these two iconic characters have been portrayed throughout history.
During one of the more ominous shots in the trailer, the game's villain - presumably the threatening voice of Gannondorf - can be heard commanding his minions to raze Hyrule and destroy the kingdom. We see various enemies manifested through bursts of malice, but one in particular certainly stands
The first Legend of Zelda game to feature sailing as a prominent mechanic was The Wind Waker , and the similarities between its story and the possibility of TOTK 's Hyrule being flooded are difficult to ignore. It's possible that the stories of the two games could be tied together as much as Tears of the Kingdom is with Breath of the Wild . While more information would be needed in order to confirm this, a clear line could be drawn connecting the two if a flood ends up being vital to the upcoming title's p
Like the Master Sword, a bow and arrows show up frequently in Zelda games, and often with different types of arrows that can be earned or found. The typical magic arrow types: fire, ice, and light, all have their own uses, making the bow a more versatile weapon, and it's even occasionally necessary for solving puzzles. How strong different arrows are can vary in Zelda games, especially with Light Arrows' magic powers . But given the possibility that Zelda is indisposed during at least a portion of TOTK , the Light Arrows could be an iconic addition as well as useful for Link as he fights against evil forces without the help of Zelda's divine powers, which were crucial against Calamity Ga
Whenever Nintendo decides to provide an answer surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , it hurls out dozens more questions and keeps the theory wheels turning in our brains. Yesterday’s Direct featured an extended glimpse at new gameplay mechanics, while also teasing a healthy dose of character and narrative details I am totally going to read too much into and come to conclusions that probably won’t end up happening.
While there are no three-headed dragons present in Breath of the Wild, Link has faced off against similar creatures across The Legend of Zelda's history. Most notably, the first title in the series featured a boss named Gleeok, a similar three-headed dragon that is only defeated by the removal of its many heads. If that's the same creature, it would be making its 3D debut after being seen in various 2D titles , much like the Lynels of the previous g
An undead-looking creature that wasn't present in the previous game can be spotted next to the various forms of Bokoblins in this cutscene. Due to its zombie-like physique and terrifying eyes, this may signify the return of Redeads, one of the series' scariest creatures. This new form certainly looks horrifying enough to live up to their leg
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**
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
