Link charging forward with sword outstretched works perfectly in this tattoo's Wind Waker design. The drawn-on artistic style, coupled with recognizable elements from the game make this tattoo stand out and its colors look sharp. The line work is expertly crafted to look as though this Link has just jumped straight out of the pages of a brightly colored Legend of Zelda official artbook. (by Ben Loredo on Instag

The ability can also be used on shields and arrows, with the demonstration showing off a mushroom-fused shield, creating an obscuring cloud of smoke when hit, as well as two types of arrows: those fused with White Chuchu Jelly, creating a freezing cloud when fired, and Keese Eyeball-fused homing arrows that track down enemies. Unlike when Link was shown fusing melee weapons however, using Fuse for arrows seemed to pull materials directly from the player's inventory, with a small menu of selectable options popping up - although it seems likely that the ability could be used either way for weapons, shields, and arr

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

Another common motif in the Zelda tattoo community is Link’s wolf form from Twilight Princess . This isn’t so surprising, given that wolf tattoos are popular in general. The flowing mane of Link’s wolf form is also perfectly suited to showing off beautiful line work by the tattoo artist, and the darker palette of Twilight Princess itself justifies a black-and-white tat

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 learn 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

On the subject of the floating islands, we've seen footage in past trailers for Tears of the Kingdom that shows Link reversing the trajectory of falling debris, presumably leading back up to these sky islands. Large portions of the islands have also been spotted around Hyrule, crash-landed into the surf

We'd love to see this large weapon combined with the smaller Gerudo Scimitar – or its powered-up version, the Scimitar of the Seven. Hopefully, some fusions blend the shape and abilities of the two weapons, as we'd love to see a beefy sword like the Edge of Duality wielded with the swiftness and skill of the Gerudo Scimi

While prerelease info regarding the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ **** has been somewhat scarce, a new gameplay showcase has given an in-depth look at some of Link's new abilities. As a rare direct sequel in the _Zelda franchise, Tears of the Kingdom continues the story started in Breath of the Wild , bringing Link back to the same post-apocalyptic Hyrule. However, while the overall landscape seems to be remaining similar to Breath of the Wild 's, new additions like mysterious floating islands and gameplay changes like the ability to build vehicles promise to provide big shake-ups to the game's open wo

While this enemy appears to be something new created for Tears of the Kingdom, the designs and patterns on the boxes that make up its body seem very similar to the Zonai architecture found throughout Hyrule. The Zonai are a mysterious and ancient race , and the implication that they may have some connection to these floating islands is interesting, to say the le

Just under a month away from the highly anticipated release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ , a new trailer has shown off more of the game's story than any previous material, including several returning characters from _Breath of the Wild . A rare direct sequel in the Zelda series, Tears of the Kingdom continues the story of its predecessor, placing Link back in the same open-world, post-apocalyptic Hyrule, with what looks like a bevvy of major changes to keep the game fresh. First revealed in 2019, Tears of the Kingdom is shaping up to be a massively ambitious game, well worth the w

Out of the confirmed returning character, Riju gets what might be the flashiest entrance in the new TOTK trailer, as it shows her dual wielding scimitars while lightning crashes down around her. Although not explicitly shown doing so, it's likely that she will be able to fight alongside Link similarly to Sidon, with potentially even the ability to replicate the Urbosa's Fury power from the first game. Along with the mysterious structure shown rising out of the sand in the Gerudo Wasteland near the start of the trailer, it's likely that, along with Sidon and the other Champion descendants, Riju will have a more pronounced story role in TO
