Midna's true form, revealed in Twilight Princess doesn't appear here, instead, her impish design has been honored. As Midna appears to have tattoos herself, making her the perfect subject for a tattoo. The digital Twilight Realm markings on her body are rigid, turning at right angles. Contrasting this with her natural curves and flowing hair makes for a fantastic design. Additionally, the colors stay true to the original game, captured with impeccable det

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

There are a few weapons in Breath of the Wild that utilize the mysterious and powerful Sheikah tech that powers t he game's shrines and Divine Beasts. Easily identified by their glowing blue blades and distinct hilts, most of these weapons are perfectly viable for any hero of Hyrule, with the Ancient Short Sword line offering a solid balance between power and sp

Although it's novel, the Double Axe could be even more powerful in Tears of the Kingdom. Combining its reach with the hefty power of the upgraded Ancient Battle Axe could give you a dual-bladed ancient weapon capable of clearing whole cro

Shadow of the Colossus may not be a completely open-ended game like BOTW and TOTK , but it does put emphasis on atmosphere and exploration. The game is structured in 16 ordered cycles: in each one, players must locate a particular Colossus, learn its weakness, and defeat it. There's very little to be found off the beaten path, aside from items to raise max HP and stamina, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to explore. Finding these bosses is easier said than done, and please click the next webpage game provides scant hints as to their location. Getting to them often requires thoughtful navigation around obstacles, or lonely treks through forgotten ru

Combining simple black icons with vivid bursts of color can also be a recipe for success. This Breath of the Wild tattoo captures the symbols for the four Champion’s Abilities that Link gains upon defeating the Divine Beasts. The smoky effect of the color splashes gives a mystical vibe and ties the entire tattoo into one, cohesive work of art rather than four distinct tattoos. The forearm position also allows for a great long canvas on which to display this particular tattoo (by @apothecaryjuices on Tumb

Link charging forward with sword outstretched works perfectly in this tattoo's Wind Waker design. The drawn-on artistic style, coupled with recognizable elements from the game make this tattoo stand out and its colors look sharp. The line work is expertly crafted to look as though this Link has just jumped straight out of the pages of a brightly colored Legend of Zelda official artbook. (by Ben Loredo on Instag

While there aren't any traditional BOTW -style __ puzzles in Shadow of the Colossus , the Colossi scratch the same itch. It's never enough just to slash away at a Colossus’ feet; each one has a unique mechanic that players must exploit to beat them. Some of the Colossi have weak points on their heads, and the player must find an opportunity to climb up; others lurk near slippery slopes, and the player must goad them into falling off. While it doesn't promise the same freedom as Tears of the Kingdom , Shadow of the Colossus has a similar focus on exploration and puzzle-like combat. Its remake is available only on PS4 and PS5, with the original PS2 version also receiving a port to the

You could greatly improve the arm's usefulness by Fusing it with a massive weapon, like one of the game's many Lynel Crushers. Picturing Link holding the Lizalfos arm while the arm itself holds the Lynel's large weapon is interesting enough, but the idea of tossing this arm and essentially using the Savage Lynel Crusher as a boomerang is too tempting to pass

This final tattoo is a tableau of the darker elements from practically every 3D Zelda game . It’s impressive how the colors and shapes come together in a cohesive way despite the differing aesthetics of each game. The roundness of Majora’s Mask ’s moon, for example, is echoed by the round cogs of the Gate of Time from Skyward Sword . The blue from the Gate of Time is then copied by the Deku Baba design from Ocarina of Time (by @itsjustbeebe on Instagr

One easy way that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom might be able to win over fans is by re-introducing the themed dungeons that were a trademark of the Zelda series for so long. Every game except Breath of the Wild had this dungeon dwelling as a means to gain abilities and weaponry. Whilst Breath of the Wild 's Divine Beasts proved a challenging and unique twist on the formula, the change had fans like Redditor BarbacoaSan lamenting the lack of "old Zelda dungeons with their own them
