Jeffry Bosley asked 2 dni ago 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 My key takeaway is the bravery Nintendo has shown when it comes to expanding upon Breath of the Wild with a sequel that not only takes place in the same world, but questions its history and the characters within it we’ve already come to know and love. No longer confined by tragic flashbacks and environmental storytelling, Link and Zelda now occupy the present day and will make choices lined with immense and immediate consequences. We are set to learn so much about them and likely come to view them as different people by the time it’s all over. Not just in this game, but how these two iconic characters have been portrayed throughout history.
Out of the confirmed returning rauru playable 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 TOThe final moments of the new trailer has Zelda asking an unknown entity to lend Link their power, followed immediately by a shot of the Hero of Time reaching out for the Princess as the ground beneath her gives way and she falls into oblivion. This particular sequence likely takes place in the opening hours beneath the ruins of Hyrule Castle, with Link and Zelda seeking out the remains of Calamity Ganon following his defeat. Nintendo has not been shy about showing his decaying corpse, radiating mythical dark energy as its hollow eye sockets lock onto whatever poor soul it encounters. And yet his role remains a mystery.
Once his preparations are complete, Link storms the inner sanctum of Hyrule Castle. As he does so, Zelda’s strength finally fails her, allowing Calamity Ganon to break free as a twisted combination of corrupted Sheikah technology and Breath of the Wild ’s sludge-like Malice , a substance that seems to be pure hatred in corrosive, physical form. The Divine Beasts fire their enormous energy weapons, severely weakening Ganon and helping Link defeat him. However, Ganon quickly reforms as the boar-like Dark Beast Ganon, and a still-incorporeal Zelda warns Link that Ganon has abandoned any hope of reincarnation in order to focus all of his stren
This is another combination with high potential for utility, but with the drawback of doing little to no damage. Mighty Bananas are notoriously loved by the Yiga Clan in BOTW , and they’re easy to obtain since they can be purchased from Emri in Kara Kara Bazaar. Taking a feature from Mario Kart , Mighty Banana Arrows could be used to make enemies slip, stunning them for a short period of time, and possibly doing a minimal amount of damage, if
However, Ganon proved to be impossible to defeat. He corrupted the Guardians and Divine Beasts, turning them against Hyrule when he finally emerged, and the four Champions perished. At the same time, the Princess‘ knight was mortally wounded, leaving Calamity Ganon Free to destroy Hyrule. Just when all hope seemed lost, Princess Zelda awoke her divine powers and trapped Ganon inside Hyrule Castle. Link is, of course, her knight, finally healed after 100 years by the aptly-named Shrine of Resurrection. Zelda, meanwhile, is trapped alongside Ganon inside the castle, holding him back; it is her voice that has been calling out to L
Despite the defeat of Calamity Ganon in Breath of the Wild , the latest trailer for Tears of the Kingdom finally confirms that its mysterious villain is in fact Ganondorf. Contrasting the explicitly monstrous and (for most of the game) mostly formless Calamity Ganon of BOTW , TOTK ‚s Ganondorf takes the form of a more humanoid Gerudo, mirroring the villains past appearances in previous Zelda games like Ocarina of Time . Interestingly, promotional art for the game shows TOTK ‚s Ganondorf as taking somewhat of a departure from past Gerudo designs, with an exposed chest, ponytail, and a large kat
While waiting for the release of **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** , some Zelda fans may find that the story presented so far in Breath of the Wild is not as fresh as it could be; something that is only natural when considering that the award-winning game is now five years old. What’s more, the tale of the latest era in Hyrule’s history is already remarkably long, spanning a hundred years and many hours of in-game adventuring. As such, with TOTK just over a month away, now is the perfect time to recap the events of BO
