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
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
Sable boasts a unique, cel-shaded artstyle that's entirely unlike BOTW 's and TOTK 's, but is beautiful just the same. The ancient ruins and megafauna skeletons dotted around the map lend it an awe-inspiring sense of scale, tempered with a feeling of quiet melancholy. In conjunction with the mellow, ambient soundtrack composed by indie pop musician Japanese Breakfast, Sable creates an evocative, memorable experience on PC, Xbox, and
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
The vivid cobalt blues in this design are brilliant, tying the moon into the blue from Majora's Mask 's iconic clock tower . Bright oranges then act as highlights, picking out the moon’s eyes, its flaring nostrils, and the top of the clock face. The moon’s terrifying grin and perfect spherical shape also take advantage of their position on the shoulder to make the curves of the model’s arms stand
What elevates this particular tattoo, however, is the addition of the powerful Mandela-like Triforce art at the end of wolf Link’s mane. The detailed florets and the icons of the Seven Sages contrast well with the softer lines of the wolf’s fur, providing a gradient of defined-to-blurred line work. The placement of the wolf’s head at the elbow also accentuates the contour of the forearm muscle. This is a great example of why not all tattoos need color to stand out (by @EG-TheFreak on DeviantA
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
Whilst it might have been a community in-joke joke, that doesn't mean allowing the player to pet dogs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom wouldn't be an easy way to score points with fans disappointed you couldn't do so despite all the cool hidden features in Breath of the Wild . Redditor masonfast is one of those disappointed fans and comments "let us pet the do
Possibly the most unexpected part of this trailer is the inclusion of various vehicles that Link can ride. Although the prior game's DLC saw the inclusion of a motorcycle for Link, that was technically a Divine Beast. These vehicles - including one that looks like a car, a hot air balloon, and a flying platform powered by propellors - seem to be pieced together from parts that are found throughout the wo
On top of one of the sky islands, Link is shown fighting with a large creature. This being is made of square boxes, connected by tendrils of glowing greenish-blue energy that binds his body together. These tendrils were also present in the green golem seen in older trailers for this direct Zelda seq
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 Split of Time (by @itsjustbeebe on Instagr
