This tattoo of the Fairy Queen from The Wind Waker has to be the most wholesome Zelda tattoo. The Fairy Queen with her child-like, yet almost alien design, is an unfortunately overlooked character in the Zelda series, but this tattoo does justice to both her power and her adorable appearance. The bright sky-blue of one of the best Legend of Zelda Great Fairies works well against the brownish-pink tones of the skin, and also allows the primary colors of the Goddess Pearls to still be clear in the design (by @gamexcoreink on Tumb

Another instance of an unfamiliar green power appears as Link fires off an arrow in the direction of one of the new flying enemies we see in this footage. Link's shot glows green before he releases, and even though this round-tipped arrow is aimed off to the side of his enemy, it manages to home in on the creature and strike

The tattoo has an overall S-shaped curve to it, guided by the stone headpiece and led down the body by the "arm" of hair down to the hand at the end, which Midna almost seems to pose on top of. This technique recalls Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, but captured with a much edgier, more mischievous model instead (by @electric.feels.studio on Instagr

While that's intriguing in and of itself, you can actually spot a chunk of this debris that seems to be plummeting to the ground near the end of this gameplay trailer, leaving a trail of green energy behind it. We know that parts of these islands have fallen before, but could they be actively breaking apart even as you play the game? We'll have to get our hands on Tears of the Kingdom when it releases to find

If Tears of the Kingdom has ships sailing around, then it's not out of the realm of possibility to think that Hyrule could be flooded during the events of TOTK . There are already floating islands, and it's possible that they could end up being an escape from the waters down below. Tears of the Kingdom may not be dark compared to other Zelda games, after all, but that doesn't mean that it won't see Hyrule experiencing another great turm

Speaking of Link's damaged new arm, it can also be seen manipulating a rotating device on one of the sky islands. This device is similar to Breath of the Wild performance upgrade of the Wild's rotating puzzles, although it's seen outside the confines of a shrine or Divine Be

On the subject of the floating islands, we've seen footage in past trailers for Tears of the Kingdom that shows Link reversing the trajectory of falling debris, presumably leading back up to these sky islands. Large portions of the islands have also been spotted around Hyrule, crash-landed into the surf

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.

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 Wind Waker takes place in the Great Sea, which Link sails across in his adventure to save his sister and defeat the resurrected Ganondorf, whose destruction of Greatfish Isle in Wind Waker shows him to have similar destructive power to Calamity Ganon. Late in the game, it's revealed that the Great Sea is on top of Hyrule, which flooded ages ago in that timeline. It was frozen in time in the last moments before the water overtook it, and at Wind Waker 's climax it disappears under the waves for good, with the memories of the kingdom and Ganondorf consigned to memory and legend for the rest of t

The final moments of the new trailer has Zelda asking an unknown entity to lend Link their power, followed immediately by a shot of the Hero of Time reaching out for the Princess as the ground beneath her gives way and she falls into oblivion. This particular sequence likely takes place in the opening hours beneath the ruins of Hyrule Castle, with Link and Zelda seeking out the remains of Calamity Ganon following his defeat. Nintendo has not been shy about showing his decaying corpse, radiating mythical dark energy as its hollow eye sockets lock onto whatever poor soul it encounters. And yet his role remains a mystery.

Recent The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ leaks show that Hyrule may be overtaken by a great flood. There has been a lot of speculation about what direction the story of _Tears of the Kingdom may take, with even the trailers leaving a lot of unanswered questions. While nothing is set in stone, there are enough hints to make the flood of Hyrule in TOTK a feasible possibil

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
