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
Like the Crab Arrows and Pumpkin Arrows, using Fuse to make Bee Honey Arrows in TOTK could be another way to add utility to combat for Link. A Bee Honey Arrow could stick an enemy in place, effectively stunning them. It could also be useful if Link could use a Bee Honey Arrow to spread honey on the ground at a distance that could act as a trap to stick an en
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
Our heroes spent so long saving Hyrule only to plunge it into turmoil a second time, and their relationship will soon be tested through tough decisions and sacrifices we are yet to see unfold. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and the limbs forced to adopt ancient powers to overcome unknown evil. The hopeful melancholy this land boasted in previous years has been torn away, replaced by an intense apocalyptic veneer that it will likely be our duty to wipe away. Zelda is a damsel in distress no more, and Link is no longer an untouchable hero who can hold the entire world on his shoulders. Tears of the Kingdom must confront these changing circumstances, and judging from everything we’ve seen, it likely will.
One of Link's most useful tools in Hyrule is the Cobble Crusher. Not only will this massive stone weapon help you bludgeon your enemies for a fair amount of damage, but it's also one of the game's best tools for crushing large, valuable stones in some areas of the terr
Zelda doesn't give Link a shotgun to use as a weapon, but a Rice Arrow could act as a close substitute for a shotgun blast. Hylian Rice can be found by cutting grass in East Necluda, and it can be purchased from a variety of vendors. While the damage would be unlikely to match that of a shotgun from other games, a Rice Arrow could burst on contact to hit multiple enemies at o
This power materialises in an ancient gauntlet that binds itself to Link’s arm, used to phase through environments and move mysterious objects long sat dormant in the sky. Whatever he touches, it burns his arm to a crisp until one final wish from Zelda brings it back from the brink with magic I imagine will have lasting consequences. Is Ganon now bound to Link, or another character entirely being kept ever so close to the game’s chest?
The Korok Leaf is, like the Torch, an item based more around utility than being the weapon BOTW classifies it as. Able to create strong gusts of wind, the Korok Leaf is most often used to propel the many sailing rafts found around Hyrule. By the same token, it can also be used to force enemies backward. Now, with the most recent trailer revealing the existence of new vehicles, it seems more likely than ever that Tears of the Kingdom will improve ocean exploration and sailing. A new version of the Korok Leaf as a tool could easily contribute to this by allowing for the continuous use of sa
Like the Master Sword, a bow and arrows show up frequently in Zelda games, and often with different types of arrows that can be earned or found. The typical magic arrow types: fire, ice, and light, all have their own uses, making the bow a more versatile weapon, and it's even occasionally necessary for solving puzzles. How strong different arrows are can vary in Zelda games, especially with Light Arrows' magic powers . But given the possibility that Zelda is indisposed during at least a portion of TOTK , the Light Arrows could be an iconic addition as well as useful for Link as he fights against evil forces without the help of Zelda's divine powers, which were crucial against Calamity Ga
Fans believe these are two different characters, but what if they’re the same person with a different soul or identity? It would make sense given the generational history of Link as The Hero of Time, and how who he is has been passed down from person to person for millennia. Awakening the power of the past in their time of need isn’t exactly ridiculous, giving Nintendo an opportunity to delve into lore and potentially turn Ganon into a sympathetic figure for once.
Naturally, the excitement surrounding TOTK stems in no small part from the smashing success of Breath of the Wild . BOTW innovated on the generations of open-world, action-adventure gameplay that came before it, but also possessed a unique identity, stressing creative locomotion and unbridled exploration, that inspired countless other developers. While there's no game that's just like Breath of the Wild , there are many games that make use of similar concepts, Ultrahand building Mechanics, and aesthetic, each offering a comparable but unique experie
