Starting from one of the sky islands, Link can leap to the surface and scan the landscape from a (literal) bird's eye view. Similarly, you can also target specific locations while experiencing the long fall to ground-level.

There's no doubt that the Zelda team will be looking to innovate even more cool new mechanics for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom but they could just as easily begin re-introducing old ones if they want to please fans. There are some harsh realities when replaying older Zelda games but the classic items aren't one of them which is why Redditor mikeystrikesback wants to see the "hookshot/longshot, or something that feels like that" in Tears of the Kingd

Climbing, gliding, and even horse-riding made traversing the terrain of Breath of the Wild immensely satisfying and zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.Com the fact it was rewarding for the player as well as the perfect bonus. Given there's one pretty massive traversal mechanic missing from that list though, it seems like an obvious way that Tears of the Kingdom could be an upgrade. As the Zelda series is known for its lively underwater settings, for better or for worse, it would be perfect for underwater exploring

The ability, while more straightforward in its use than Fuse or Ultrahand, seems like a handy aid for quicker exploration, allowing Link to skip climbing in certain areas - and also bypassing the need to manage stamina. Additionally, Ascend seems likely to be an opportunity for TOTK to add some devious secrets or puzzles, like rooms or areas hidden beneath the ceiling of one area and the floor of another. However, the demonstration also mentions certain limitations to the ability, which are likely related mostly to the ability's range and maximum travelable dista

While mostly sidelined in Breath of the Wild with much of her presence relegated to optional flashbacks, Zelda seems to be taking on a somewhat more active role in the story of Tears of the Kingdom , with the game's most recent trailer featuring her prominently in what seem to be story-related cutscenes. Along with her new look, Zelda's more pronounced role in pre-release material has even sparked some hopes that she might be playable in the game's full release - although this has yet to be confirmed one way or the ot

While the Cobble Crusher (and its upgraded variation, the Boulder Breaker) are pretty solid for combat, its primary purpose is usually destroying boulders and other large objects. To make this handy weapon more viable for regular use, combine it with the Great Frostblade. This large, frigid sword should improve the Cobble Crusher's attack power while also embedding it with ice abilities, making it even more useful in the Death Mountain reg

Is Hyrule getting European medieval-style dragons now? If so, does this mean that Link can get snatched into the sky at any time? Are beloved horse companions subject to this overhead threat too? Guess only time will tell.

The new Fuse capability allows you to create boats, flying machines, and car-like contraptions using surrounding materials and your own imagination. Paragliding fans that got Link airborne in Breath of the Wild can now be attached to fallen tree logs for a custom river-crossing motorboat, as the gameplay video demonstrates.

The threat of extreme cold and heat seems to be making a return in Tears of the Kingdom - there's a scene in the trailer that shows dressed-down Link shivering in a freezing landscape - so likely wearable items will continue to play an important strategic role in gameplay.

To make up for the Giant Boomerang's slightly lacking attack strength, we'd combine this huge weapon with the Royal Guard's Claymore, another enormous fighting tool that's slightly more damage-heavy. This simple combo could grant your projectile weapon the power it needs to truly be utili

Often fans like to focus on what a highly-anticipated sequel like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom could add to the original game to make a more fun final product but removing certain elements could be just as fruitful. Redditor DinoRedRex99 certainly thinks so as they emphatically ask for no more weapon durability mechanics in the game unless they "at least make them repairable or somethi

From its first reveal in 2019, Tears of the Kingdom has been the subject of much speculation, with its brief trailers and short snippets of gameplay giving small sneak peeks at some of TOTK 's new tools that weren't in BOTW . Perhaps even more so than the Zelda series' first foray into open-world gameplay, Tears of the Kingdom looks to be an impressively ambitious expansion on the world and mechanics of its predecessor - although much of the game's actual content has remained a mystery, even as it's periodically received new trailers. With a recent gameplay demonstration from series producer Eiji Aonuma, however, four of Link's new abilities have been revealed: Recall, Fuse, Ultrahand, and Ascend, each with seemingly myriad u
