Link journeys across Hyrule in his efforts to complete his quest. Completing Sheikah Shrines grants him Spirit Orbs, which improve his health and stamina. Finishing every shrine earns him a version of the classic green Hero’s Clothes. Deep within the Lost Woods, he discovers the Master Sword in its ancient pedestal. Once he is strong enough, the spirit of the sword allows him to draw it once more. Link also meets the Sheikah technology experts Robbie and Purah, discovering forest spirits called Koroks hiding across Hyrule, who offer Korok Seeds when found. Elsewhere in Hyrule, Link even helps to build a new settlement, named Tarrey T

For Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to avoid disappointing fans, it likely won't be able to get away with recycling the same enemies from the previous game. BotW had plenty of fun and challenging enemies , but that's likely exactly why Redditor NoEggsOrBeansPlz is worried they'll get complacent and fail to " add more enemy variety " in the seq

Enemy variety was one of Breath of the Wild 's strong suits but giving old enemies extra attacks or armor won't be enough to make for the challenging new combat encounters fans will need to truly enjoy the new game. Fans are also hoping to see the return of fan-favorite enemies like ReDeads and Darknuts, so this is one area where fans would be bitterly disappointed if Tears of the Kingdom went for a lazier opt

Another item in Breath of the Wild that should become a proper tool is the Torch. Used to light Link’s way and set fires, it is even weaker as a weapon than the Woodcutter’s Axe. In practical terms, it is simply a utility item, and one with limited durability at that. Changing this would not only free up an inventory space, but also ensure that Link never needs to go searching for a light source with a proper tool on hand in the BOTW sequel . Of course, it is possible that the Torch could still run on a limited resource; perhaps it could use oil, similar to Twilight Princess ’ Lant

Breath of the Wild begins with an amnesiac Link awakening to the sound of a feminine voice, rousing him from a strange pod-like device. Directed by the voice to claim the Shiekah Slate resting on a nearby pedestal, he emerges from an underground chamber to find himself on a plateau overlooking a beautiful but desolate Hyrule. He soon encounters a strange old man who offers to trade his paraglider for the spirit orbs held within four nearby Sheikah Shrines, which also unlock various features of the Sheikah Slate. Link completes the shrine’s tests, only for the old man to disappear while inviting him to the nearby ruined Temple of T

However, innovation and evolution were at the heart of what made Breath of the Wild a game-changing success . A sequel of limited ambition and one that fails to expand on what made its predecessor great might end up disappointing fans when it releases later this year. From the same old overworld map feeling stale to Princess Zelda being mostly absent once again, these are some Redditor's biggest fears about Tears of the Kingdom, spawned by Redditor Tyto_2510

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

Another classic Zelda tool missing from Breath of the Wild , the Fishing Rod, would give much easier access to another category of Hyrule’s wildlife in Tears of the Kingdom . In BOTW , catching fish, much like other creatures, is achieved with careful timing. That being said, though, bombs are a viable option for expediting the process. Nevertheless, including the Fishing Rod in Breath of the Wild ’s sequel would doubtlessly make catching fish a much more relaxing and enjoyable experience. Notably, it opens the possibility for a minigame that could be playable at any major body of water in the game wo

Originally slated for a 2022 release, Tears of the Kingdom has already been pushed back once to its currently scheduled release date in May of this year. Whilst these changes are pretty standard for a massive AAA title at this point, it still has Redditor gaziway worried that it will be " delayed for release " ag

Whilst weapons breaking too easily might have been a more popular topic of criticism, it's clear that it's part of a purposeful effort to get the player to be smart and resourceful. In contrast, the near-impossibility of climbing surfaces in the rain means there really isn't anything the player can do but resign themselves to frustration in those sections. That makes it a no-brainer to adjust for some fans if TOTK is to be a less annoying experie

Part of what could make or break Tears of the Kingdom as a satisfying sequel is whether it addresses the biggest complaints about BOTW and that includes more than just annoying gameplay mechanics. Breath of the Wild 's princess is the best version of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom updates the games have produced and fans like Redditor Multi-tunes would not be happy if she's "almost completely absent from the game until the end agai
