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

Tears of the Kingdom has already been shown to build upon the world created in BOTW in numerous ways. Although much of the main plot line is being kept under wraps, trailers for TOTK have shown new vehicles and Ascend ability weapons being used by Link to explore both the land of Hyrule and the sky above it. BOTW placed great emphasis on foraging for equipment, as well as utilizing a durability system. Consequently, there were few permanent additions to Link’s inventory. TOTK could change this by adding some useful tools which would never need replacing, thereby removing one of the main sources of frustration in BOTW ’s gamep

If there's one disappointing thing to come out of the marketing for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , it's the fact that Zelda looks to need rescuing again, a classic Zelda series element that all the games seem to have. That would be a disappointment to Redditors like CaughttheDarkness for whom the thing they most want to see in the sequel is simply "playable Zel

Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open-world, exploration-based game similar to BOTW and TOTK , but with a greater focus on combat than any of the games covered in this list so far. Much like the Zelda games, its art style strikes a satisfying balance between stunning landscapes and cartoonish character design. Players can explore its vast, diverse open world by scaling cliffs, riding animals, or soaring through the sky. Secrets, optional puzzles, and platforming challenges are scattered across the map, and players may discover them in any order they wish. Wielding sword, bow, and godly powers, players will face off against monsters of myth, including a snarling Cerberus and towering tit

An ancient evil has once again descended upon Hyrule, awakening a forgotten civilization in the sky and imbuing the land’s creatures with newfound power and aggression that will likely tear everything asunder. The stakes are high, with Hyrule Castle crumbling away into dust as red streaks of energy bubble and burst into the landscape. I’m not even sure if Ganon is the one talking in the trailer’s opening seconds, convinced Nintendo is throwing out a red herring as the previous calamity prepares to play a far more pivotal role in the upcoming story.

There are two very distinct iterations of Link seen throughout most of the trailers thus far. One is dressed in his signature blue tunic with his snazzy new gauntlet, while the other is letting his hair down and freeing the nipple with luscious pecs and a more unconventional version of the new tool. It’s more akin to a tattoo and protruding objects than an item of clothing and raises further questions about exactly what this game has in store for us.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is based on stories and characters from Greek mythology. It follows Fenyx, a Delian squire who sets out to end the giant Typhon's reign of terror. Fenyx does this by rescuing a series of gods Typhon has rendered powerless, defeating their corrupted forms and returning them to their former glory. It's a story with a lighter tone than BOTW and TOTK , with snarkier characters and a more well-defined, anything-but-silent protagonist. Immortals Fenyx Rising is available on Switch, PC, Xbox, PS4, and

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

It could be safely said that the Master Sword is the single most iconic weapon in The Legend of Zelda , and acquiring it is often an important milestone in Link's journey. The Master Sword in its original form was created by the Goddess Hylia so that her chosen hero could complete its creation and make it into a sword that repels evil. As an added bonus, the Master Sword in Breath of the Wild doesn't have weapon durability , making it the only weapon that doesn't need to be repaired. A broken form of the sword is shown in TOTK trailers, but a full, repaired version of the Master Sword is a must-have for any Zelda g

Death Stranding might not be the first title that comes to mind when considering games similar to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom , but the connections are there. Like BOTW , the genre-defying Death Stranding features a beautiful open world destroyed by apocalyptic catastrophe. Players must navigate weather hazards and environmental obstacles as they explore the world. Creative platforming and use of traversal mechanics are encouraged, and stealth is almost always an alternative to pitched battle. When players encounter an environmental obstacle, they can build structures to overcome it, which can later be used by other players. Some structures require collaboration from multiple players, or occasional rep
