However, Ganon proved to be impossible to defeat. He corrupted the Guardians and Divine Beasts, turning them against Hyrule when he finally emerged, and the four Champions perished. At the same time, the Princess' knight was mortally wounded, leaving Calamity Ganon Free to destroy Hyrule. Just when all hope seemed lost, Princess Zelda awoke her divine powers and trapped Ganon inside Hyrule Castle. Link is, of course, her knight, finally healed after 100 years by the aptly-named Shrine of Resurrection. Zelda, meanwhile, is trapped alongside Ganon inside the castle, holding him back; it is her voice that has been calling out to L

Originally slated for a 2022 release, Tears of the Kingdom has already been pushed back once to its currently scheduled release date in May of this year. Whilst these changes are pretty standard for a massive AAA title at this point, it still has Redditor gaziway worried that it will be " delayed for release " ag

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

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

Breath of the Wild is a sprawling experience but whether all of its additional content landed, particularly the purely completionist elements like collecting all of the Korok seeds, is a matter of debate. For fans that have had six years to get to grips with the game's mechanics and its world, Tears of the Kingdom could easily become boring a lot quicker if it's simply more of the same. That's why a focus on brevity could be the best way to ensure the sequel doesn't disappo

The Lizalfos of Breath of the Wild don't have every boomerang in the Hidden game secrets to themselves – not when there are giant Boomerangs out there to be discovered. These massive, traditionally-shaped boomerangs are slow, but they're also huge enough to wallop enemies as a handheld weapon and cover enough ground when thrown to strike a large group d

In order to defeat Ganon for good, Zelda provides Link with the Bow of Light. The fated enemies battle each other on Hyrule Field, with Link prevailing. As he does, Zelda finally manifests herself physically. The princess uses the last of her divine strength, possibly provided by the Triforce itself, to seal Ganon away once more. She greets Link as the Hero of Hyrule, and asks if he remembers her. Later, on a hill overlooking the remnants of her kingdom, Zelda notes that her divine power seems exhausted, but she can accept this. Breath of the Wild ends with Zelda expounding on her plans to rebuild Hyr

Aside from using the ability for exploration, however, Recall can also be spotted being used in a previous trailer for Tears of the Kingdom . In it, Link uses the ability on a large metal spiked ball rolling down a hill at him, sending the object back up its path and crashing it through several enemies. Like Stasis from BOTW , the specific use cases of Recall seem somewhat niche in combat situations, with the ability seemingly being most useful for turning the tables on preset traps, but creative players may yet be able to find creative uses for it upon the full game's rele

Recall, perhaps one of the more straightforward abilities, seems to function similarly to BOTW 's Stasis - but, instead of freezing objects, it sends them back through time, which might lend credence to certain Tears of the Kingdom time travel theories . In the showcase, the ability is used to ride a rock that fell from the sky back up to access a sky island, meaning that it has interesting applications for exploration - although it's currently unknown if it can be used as freely as Stasis. For the time being, the ability seems like a way to get to sky islands in the early game, although which islands it can allow access to seems somewhat limi

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
