It's possible that the ships seen in the Tears of the Kingdom leaks could be innocuous parts of the game. However, it would be much more exciting if they were a hint toward a major twist that significantly changed the game. Although it may sound outrageous, it's possible that _Tears of the Kingdom _ could see the next great flood of Hyr
In recent days, images from the artbook for Tears of the Kingdom leaked online, and they revealed plenty of secrets well before the game's release. Amidst the Tears of the Kingdom leaks were several images of fish and ships. It's already known that the game will feature floating islands around Hyrule Exploration, so it's possible that the ships could be airships of some sort. When combined with several different fish shown off, though, it gives off the impression that they're designed for the ocean inst
Though there hasn't been any explicit indication that Zelda: TOTK will re-introduce any of the elements that have defined the Zelda series over the years which Breath of the Wild omitted, some fans are expecting it to do just that. In fact, Redditor Nova604 admits that they're " afraid they won't give us the hookshot" in Tears of the Kingd
Surprisingly, personalized elements like this aren't something that the Zelda series has ever utilized much before and they could be missing a trick as a result. For many fans, the world of Zelda games provides a form of fantastical escapism that few other franchises can achieve, and the homely, personal elements only further that effect. If **Tears of the Kingdom ** leaned into this, it would give those fans even more reason to spend endless hours immersed in the wo
While the Hookshot might be more commonly used in Zelda as a tool to help Link get to places he'd otherwise be unable to reach, it can also be a good weapon with its versatility. Depending on the enemies and the game, the Hookshot can pull either the enemy to Link or vice versa. Smaller enemies can be defeated by hitting them with the Hookshot, and it has the capability of stunning larger enemies. Even Dampé in Ocarina of Time considered the Hookshot to be a treas
If Tears of the Kingdom leads to the flooding of Hyrule, then it could secretly be the prequel to The Wind Waker . This idea could play into the Tears of the Kingdom trailer from the most recent Nintendo Direct. Ganon's minions are raging, and his influence is still strong across the land despite his defeat. That combined with the TOTK leak potentially hinting at time-travel could see the flood, and therefore the Wind Waker timeline as a future that Link must avoid. While Hyrule may get buried beneath the waves, it could be Link's duty to make sure that it doesn't stay that
Breath of the Wild wasn't a perfect game either, with the flimsiness of weapons and the lack of traditional Zelda dungeons both drawing some criticism from Redditors . That means the new title has some room to build on what made the previous game a success whilst telling its own story. If they want to please the Zelda fans of Reddit, they'll have to address some of those areas for improvement in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the King
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
Similar to the Hookshot, the Boomerang is a weapon that sacrifices some damage for the sake of utility. The Boomerang can generally be used to defeat or stun enemies, activate distant switches, and bring items to Link. Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess , which still don't have Switch ports, Increased the usefulness of the Boomerang by allowing players to lock onto multiple targets at once instead of just a single target. Breath of the Wild even included the option to use the Boomerang as a more direct weapon, letting the player brandish it like a sword and perform melee atta
Though the ending of Breath of the Wild satisfied fans, it's also fair to say it's a rather abrupt end to the journey. With Tears of the Kingdom , players might not be as forgiving if the game's "post-game" is simply to return to a save before Ganon was beaten again. A story-based epilogue opening up to a post-game that gives the player new content would crown off the Tears of the Kingdom experience in the perfect
If it's to live up to the hype, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will have to be an absolutely massive game and that could come with some unexpected downsides. Redditor isaytyler is one fan already convinced the sequel will be amazing but comments that their " biggest fear is if the Switch struggles to do it justic
