Even when it received universal critical acclaim upon its release, the one drawback of Breath of the Wild that critics and fans alike complained about was that weapons are far too flimsy, and having to find new ones when they break is frustrating. There would be no shame for Nintendo in admitting weapon durability was an unwise experiment and scaling back the mechanic to remove this frustrat

Improving on the exploration of its predecessor is a tough ask but it's one way that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom could expand on what made Breath of the Wild such an amazing explorative open-world game . Redditor NotThatValleyGirl was surprised there was "still NO WAY to explore underwater" at the end of the game, howe

Part of me wants to believe that it’s a past iteration of Link or a version of Ganon from before darkness corrupted him. Zelda is also seen with shorter hair and wielding the Sheikah Slate in new character art, convincing me further that she is not only saved by Link’s new power, but comes to play a far more prominent role in the full adventure. Whatever evil they face, she is convinced it can’t be stopped, but is now far more than a passive bystander holding off evil as her companion does all the work. Both characters are given more agency here, which should allow Tears of the Kingdom to breach narrative boundaries this series has never toyed with before.

Silent Shrooms in BOTW can be used in cooking to increase Link's stealth temporarily, and a Silent Shroom Arrow could have a similar functionality executed differently. Instead of increasing Link's stealth, a Silent Shroom Arrow could be used to put enemies it strikes to sleep, which would still allow for Link to approach his task with stealth. For the sake of stealth, an area of effect for the Silent Shroom Arrow could be beneficial for instances where players need to put a group of enemies to sleep without attracting attention in the proc

Overall, the top half of the image is dominated by darker colors reminiscent of the night sky. But at the bottom of the image are Link and Zelda, framed by the Temple of Time. Interestingly, Link wears his outfit from Hyrule Warriors while Zelda wears her outfit from Twilight Princess . The model for this tattoo clearly wanted to unabashedly and seamlessly piece together their favorite elements of every single **The Legend of Zelda ** __ g

Zelda also wields a new slate this time around, that is far more reminiscent of the Switch than the Wii U, hinting that she either found a second for her own use, or Link no longer requires it thanks to the magical arm business he has going down. Yes, I am begging for Zelda to be playable , and all the pieces falling neatly into place like this doesn’t help matters.

The Nintendo Switch has some visually stunning games but its limitations have begun to show more and more in recent years, with the troubled Pokémon Scarlet and Violet release reminding people that it's simply not a very powerful machine, particularly in comparison to the newest generation of consoles. Tears of the Kingdom will inevitably aim to be a beautiful experience on a grand scale, which is why the Switch's graphical and technical limitations might become more noticeable than e

Massive franchises like the Zelda series are expected to constantly evolve but, for once, TOTK is a sequel where going back to an older format might be the best thing the developers can do. It seems strange given that Breath of The Wild performance upgrade of the Wild was the best-selling Zelda series game ever but Redditor TriforksWarrior isn't alone in saying they'd be " a little disappointed " if the sequel didn't utilize a more traditional dungeon sys

Great Fairies in Zelda __ often give Link upgrades, but the lesser fairies shouldn't be overlooked considering their ability to restore Link's health back to full. Instead of a weapon to damage others, Fuse used on a Fairy and an Arrow could create a utility item for healing. A Fairy Arrow could be used to restore full health to the target it strikes, which could be a problem if a player accidentally uses it on an enemy. However, that drawback could be necessary given the potential power of an item that can heal somebody to full hea

While some fans may not recognize Tulin as a returning character (or at all), his place in the final TOTK trailer places him as something of a stand-in for his father, the more familiar Teba, aiding Link in what seems to be sky-based portion of the game, and even being present for the appearance of a giant new boss monster. Of course, this is a major step up from his BOTW appearance, where many players are likely to not even have encountered him or the archery-based minigame that he provides. With Teba suffering from an injury in BOTW , it's likely Tulin is stepping up in his pl
