The last ability shown in Tears of the Kingdom 's gameplay demonstration, which can also be seen in previous trailers, is Ascend, which allows Link to go through ceilings, essentially "swimming" through until he reaches the floor above. The ability seemingly doesn't let the player choose an angled trajectory, as the demonstration shows Link shooting directly upwards, and while thin ceilings and platforms will allow Link to phase through almost instantly, others will require more time. This can be seen in the demonstration, where Link uses Ascend on the ceiling of a cave to rise to the top of a small mountain, with Link going through a brief, portal-like transition before emerging at the
As the sequel to one of the most clever and innovative games the series has produced, Tears of the Kingdom faces massive expectations from fans. That's why one Redditor is most anxious that " people will be disappointed " by it simply because it isn't a " revolutionary, genre-defining game like botw wa
The biggest questions surrounding Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom might be its story and what it does with the world, but how it addresses small details is something that fans have just as many fears about. A harsh reality of replaying Breath of the Wild is that it does have some frustrating gameplay and Redditor Geshtar1 's biggest concern is that " rain and climbing mechanics remain the same " in the seq
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 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
Whilst Tears of the Kingdom is expected to make sizable improvements on Breath of the Wild, it could also please fans simply by adding fun new mechanics unrelated to the main game. One mistake everyone makes playing Breath of the Wild is not savoring the small things enough but Redditor Kiyooshi 's suggestion of a "more customizable" house "with options for decor and maybe some pets" would help everyone to do
Link and Zelda likely spent the months following Breath of the Wild piecing their scattered kingdom back together , the remnants of which have either been repaired or altered in many of the locales spotted throughout the trailer. The towers we once climbed are now surrounded with eerie spotlights, while Hateno’s welcoming atmosphere now is punctured by an aura of fluorescent green energy and a constant darkness that forces its inhabitants to hide away in fear of retaliation. I used to feel welcomed by this place, and now it terrifies me.
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 tears Of The kingdom shrines 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
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
Whilst it might have been a community in-joke joke, that doesn't mean allowing the player to pet dogs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom wouldn't be an easy way to score points with fans disappointed you couldn't do so despite all the cool hidden features in Breath of the Wild . Redditor masonfast is one of those disappointed fans and comments "let us pet the do
Using Fuse in TOTK on a Fortified Pumpkin and an arrow could create a type of utility arrow to stun or blind enemies. A Pumpkin Arrow could bind a Fortified Pumpkin onto the head of the enemy it hits. Even if the Pumpkin Arrow didn't do damage when it hits an enemy, the utility of blinding an enemy for a set period of time could be a lifesaver for players in situations such as being outnumbe
My key takeaway is the bravery Nintendo has shown when it comes to expanding upon Breath 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.
