Every New Ability Link Has In Tears Of The Kingdom

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 world. 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 uses. 4 Recall Recall, perhaps one of the more straightforward abilities, seems to function similarly to BOTW 's Stasis - but, instead of freezing objects, it sends them back through time, which might lend credence to certain Tears of the Kingdom time travel theories . In the showcase, the ability is used to ride a rock that fell from the sky back up to access a sky island, meaning that it has interesting applications for exploration - although it's currently unknown if it can be used as freely as Stasis. For the time being, the ability seems like a way to get to sky islands in the early game, although which islands it can allow access to seems somewhat limited. Aside from using the ability for exploration, however, Recall can also be spotted being used in a previous trailer for Tears of the Kingdom . In it, Link uses the ability on a large metal spiked ball rolling down a hill at him, sending the object back up its path and crashing it through several enemies. Like Stasis from BOTW , the specific use cases of Recall seem somewhat niche in combat situations, with the ability seemingly being most useful for turning the tables on preset traps, but creative players may yet be able to find creative uses for it upon the full game's release. 3 Fuse The next Tears of the Kingdom ability shown, Fuse, allows players to combine their weapons with objects and materials. From the footage, Link is shown fusing a rock onto the end of a basic stick to create a makeshift hammer, and a pitchfork with a long stick to create a comically over-sized spear. Importantly for BOTW's controversial weapon durability , fusing the weapons seemingly resets their durability and, at least in the case of the stick/rock fusion, greatly extends it, while also increasing the weapon's damage. Fusing weapons with materials, objects, or even other weapons can seemingly lead to specialized equipment, like the greatly extended range of the combined pitchfork. 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 arrows. 2 Ultrahand In a similar vein to Fuse, the Ultrahand ability allows Link to bind objects together, being the method for creating the vehicles previously seen in trailers. Functioning similarly to the previous game's Magnesis ability, Link uses it first to pick up objects, rotate them, and move them around, being able to stick them to the surfaces of other objects once in proximity. In the demonstration, Link creates a rudimentary boat by fusing three logs and two strange mechanical fans, with the fans starting when hit and seemingly operating off of a limited, but replenishing battery gauge similar to Link's own stamina. Related: What Tears Of The Kingdom's New Vehicles Can Learn From BOTW's Recipes Interestingly, another vehicle shown in the demonstration is a basic flying raft - a wooden platform fused with four downward-facing fans and a sail, allowing it to move with the direction of the wind. The limited battery, however, seems to greatly restrict such devices from gaining too much height, which is a far cry from the sky-faring vehicles previously seen in trailers. While not elaborated on in the gameplay demonstration, it seems likely that Tears of the Kingdom 's progression will eventually allow for dedicated ways of building more complicated vehicles, with much greater or even unlimited energy supplies. 1 Ascend The last ability shown in Tears of the Kingdom 's gameplay demonstration, which can also be seen in previous trailers, is Ascend, which allows Link to go through ceilings, essentially "swimming" through until he reaches the floor above. The ability seemingly doesn't let the player choose an angled trajectory, as the demonstration shows Link shooting directly upwards, and while thin ceilings and platforms will allow Link to phase through almost instantly, others will require more time. This can be seen in the demonstration, where Link uses Ascend on the ceiling of a cave to rise to the top of a small mountain, with Link going through a brief, portal-like transition before emerging at the top. 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 distance. As Tears of the Kingdom approaches its long-awaited release, Nintendo is likely to reveal more of the game's underlying systems, with the end of the gameplay demonstration promising that the game still has more to show. Releasing on May 12, 2023, The Legend of [https://zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ zelda tears of the kingdom weapons]: Tears of the Kingdom _ promises to be an exciting new addition to the series, and a major expansion on the already impressive _Breath of the Wild .

9 Coolest Zelda Tattoos To Get You Excited For Tears Of The Kingdom

2025-09-24T07:08:38Z

NathanKiernan92:

Long-time fans of **The Legend of Zelda ** happily show off their love for the series with some of the best-looking tattoos. Zelda ’s artwork has always suited the types of stylized designs that look great in tattoo format, making it one of the best games to translate into this form of artwork. Even better, each game has its own unique aesthetic and motifs, giving fans a way to celebrate their favorite entry in the series proudly.There seems to be a strong divide between the type of Zelda tattoo fans want. Some fans have a punk edge and lean towards darker games such as Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess . Others enjoy the more wholesome aspects of Zelda , and so prefer the bright colors and symbols of Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker . The tattoos shown cover the full spectrum of [https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ Zelda Tears of the Kingdom story guide] fans’ tastes. Related: Legend Of Zelda: Every Princess Zelda Design, Ranked 7 Breath Of The Wild’s Champion’s Abilities Inscribed On Skin 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 Tumblr). 6 Twilight Princess’ Wolf Link Tangles With The Triforce 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 tattoo. What elevates this particular tattoo, however, is the addition of the powerful Mandela-like Triforce art at the end of wolf Link’s mane. The detailed florets and the icons of the Seven Sages contrast well with the softer lines of the wolf’s fur, providing a gradient of defined-to-blurred line work. The placement of the wolf’s head at the elbow also accentuates the contour of the forearm muscle. This is a great example of why not all tattoos need color to stand out (by @EG-TheFreak on DeviantArt). Related: The Legend Of Zelda: Every Known King That’s Ruled Hyrule 5 The Wind Waker’s Fairy Queen Is Adorably Powerful This tattoo of the Fairy Queen from The Wind Waker has to be the most wholesome Zelda tattoo. The Fairy Queen with her child-like, yet almost alien design, is an unfortunately overlooked character in the Zelda series, but this tattoo does justice to both her power and her adorable appearance. The bright sky-blue of one of the best Legend of Zelda Great Fairies works well against the brownish-pink tones of the skin, and also allows the primary colors of the Goddess Pearls to still be clear in the design (by @gamexcoreink on Tumblr). 4 Wind Waker's Design Goes Naturally With This Tattooists Chosen Style 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 Instagram) 3 Midna’s Mischievous Nature On Display From Twilight Princess Midna's true form, revealed in Twilight Princess doesn't appear here, instead, her impish design has been honored. As Midna appears to have tattoos herself, making her the perfect subject for a tattoo. The digital Twilight Realm markings on her body are rigid, turning at right angles. Contrasting this with her natural curves and flowing hair makes for a fantastic design. Additionally, the colors stay true to the original game, captured with impeccable detail. Related: Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s 10 Hardest Boss Fights, Ranked The tattoo has an overall S-shaped curve to it, guided by the stone headpiece and led down the body by the "arm" of hair down to the hand at the end, which Midna almost seems to pose on top of. This technique recalls Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, but captured with a much edgier, more mischievous model instead (by @electric.feels.studio on Instagram). 2 The Moon From Majora’s Mask Dominates The Shoulder Tattoo The vivid cobalt blues in this design are brilliant, tying the moon into the blue from Majora's Mask 's iconic clock tower . Bright oranges then act as highlights, picking out the moon’s eyes, its flaring nostrils, and the top of the clock face. The moon’s terrifying grin and perfect spherical shape also take advantage of their position on the shoulder to make the curves of the model’s arms stand out. What elevates this tattoo even higher are the small details. The heads of each of the four bosses in Majora’s Mask surround the clock face, [https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.Com] echoing the tribal design of Skull Kid. These bosses seem to be emanating clouds of steam that rise up and envelop the moon. Lastly, the sketch of Tatl at the bottom implies that she is going to be added to the tattoo at a later date as a border to the entire image (by @chronicink on Twitter). 1 Every [https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ Zelda Tears of the Kingdom shrines] Game Combined Into One Tattoo This final tattoo is a tableau of the darker elements from practically every 3D Zelda game . It’s impressive how the colors and shapes come together in a cohesive way despite the differing aesthetics of each game. The roundness of Majora’s Mask ’s moon, for example, is echoed by the round cogs of the Gate of Time from Skyward Sword . The blue from the Gate of Time is then copied by the Deku Baba design from Ocarina of Time (by @itsjustbeebe on Instagram). Overall, the top half of the image is dominated by darker colors reminiscent of the night sky. But at the bottom of the image are Link and Zelda, framed by the Temple of Time. Interestingly, Link wears his outfit from Hyrule Warriors while Zelda wears her outfit from Twilight Princess . The model for this tattoo clearly wanted to unabashedly and seamlessly piece together their favorite elements of every single **The Legend of Zelda ** __ game.

5 Games Like BOTW To Play While Waiting For Tears Of The Kingdom

2025-09-24T06:18:13Z

NathanKiernan92:

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ is still a ways off, but there are plenty of games similar to its predecessor, _Breath of the Wild , worth digging into in the meantime. Expanding on the much-loved formula of BOTW has already made TOTK one of the most anticipated games of the year. The sequel promises to incorporate new, inventive mechanics, while also improving on less popular aspects of the old ones. TOTK 's __ Ascend ability can fix BOTW 's climbing mechanic, while the Ultrahand ability allows for creative building to get around obstacles. 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, mechanics, and aesthetic, each offering a comparable but unique experience. 5 Sable Sable , released in 2021, follows its titular character as she undergoes a rite of passage: a treacherous, but relaxing and beautiful journey known as the Gliding. Much like BOTW and TOTK , Sable makes use of a variety of traversal mechanics: cliff climbing, dune surfing, and hovercraft riding. Players will have to guide Sable through barren desert and crumbling ruins, solving puzzles and using abilities creatively to cross its open world. Friendly NPCs color in the richly detailed world, and often grant side quests. Fishing and bug catching offer amusing diversions from the main story - and will prove irresistible to completionists. 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 PS5. 4 Tchia Inspired by the landscapes of the South Pacific archipelago of New Caledonia, __ Tchia offers a lush open-world adventure similar to the one found in BOTW and its sequel TOTK - but it takes inspiration from other [https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ Zelda Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough] games as well. As Tchia, players will brave dark caves, solve puzzles, climb rocky cliffs, and glide above the treetops. In a Wind Waker -like twist, however, Tchia can also play the ukulele to cast musical spells, and sail her raft between the archipelago's islands. Her ukulele is also fully playable; players can learn actual songs or simply jam out. Like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom , while Tchia draws on games that came before it, it also has its own identity. The detailed world building, based on New Caledonia's folklore and culture, is complemented by cutscenes voiced in the traditional languages of the archipelago. In its most novel mechanic, Tchia allows players to inhabit and control a wide variety of things in the open world, including animals like birds, sharks, and dogs along with inanimate objects. Players can explore the inspired open world of Tchia on PC, PS4, and PS5. 3 Death Stranding Death Stranding might not be the first title that comes to mind when considering games similar to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom , but the connections are there. Like BOTW , the genre-defying Death Stranding features a beautiful open world destroyed by apocalyptic catastrophe. Players must navigate weather hazards and environmental obstacles as they explore the world. Creative platforming and [https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.Com] use of traversal mechanics are encouraged, and stealth is almost always an alternative to pitched battle. When players encounter an environmental obstacle, they can build structures to overcome it, which can later be used by other players. Some structures require collaboration from multiple players, or occasional repair. Death Stranding differs from BOTW and TOTK mainly in its darker story and lack of puzzles. Death Stranding is set in a world where the border between life and afterlife has deteriorated. Outdoor travel is impossible for most, owing to explosive, invisible ghosts called BTs, along with rain that ages whatever it falls on. Players control Sam Porter Bridges, a courier charged with building a communication network to reconnect now-isolated American cities. However, the world is not without hope, which comes in the form of cooperation through the asynchronous multiplayer features. Death Stranding is available on PC, PS4, and PS5 - and __ Death Stranding 2 has been confirmed in development. 2 Immortals Fenyx Rising Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open-world, exploration-based game similar to BOTW and TOTK , but with a greater focus on combat than any of the games covered in this list so far. Much like the Zelda games, its art style strikes a satisfying balance between stunning landscapes and cartoonish character design. Players can explore its vast, diverse open world by scaling cliffs, riding animals, or soaring through the sky. Secrets, optional puzzles, and platforming challenges are scattered across the map, and players may discover them in any order they wish. Wielding sword, bow, and godly powers, players will face off against monsters of myth, including a snarling Cerberus and towering titans. Immortals Fenyx Rising is based on stories and characters from Greek mythology. It follows Fenyx, a Delian squire who sets out to end the giant Typhon's reign of terror. Fenyx does this by rescuing a series of gods Typhon has rendered powerless, defeating their corrupted forms and returning them to their former glory. It's a story with a lighter tone than BOTW and TOTK , with snarkier characters and a more well-defined, anything-but-silent protagonist. Immortals Fenyx Rising is available on Switch, PC, Xbox, PS4, and PS5. 1 Shadow Of The Colossus Shadow of the Colossus may not be a completely open-ended game like BOTW and TOTK , but it does put emphasis on atmosphere and exploration. The game is structured in 16 ordered cycles: in each one, players must locate a particular Colossus, learn its weakness, and defeat it. There's very little to be found off the beaten path, aside from items to raise max HP and stamina, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to explore. Finding these bosses is easier said than done, and the game provides scant hints as to their location. Getting to them often requires thoughtful navigation around obstacles, or lonely treks through forgotten ruins. While there aren't any traditional BOTW -style __ puzzles in Shadow of the Colossus , the Colossi scratch the same itch. It's never enough just to slash away at a Colossus’ feet; each one has a unique mechanic that players must exploit to beat them. Some of the Colossi have weak points on their heads, and the player must find an opportunity to climb up; others lurk near slippery slopes, and the player must goad them into falling off. While it doesn't promise the same freedom as Tears of the Kingdom , Shadow of the Colossus has a similar focus on exploration and puzzle-like combat. Its remake is available only on PS4 and PS5, with the original PS2 version also receiving a port to the PS3. Breath of the Wild 's unrestricted open-world gameplay, which puts an emphasis on exploration, traversal, and puzzle solving, has made it one of the most influential games in recent memory. Even months before its release, the sequel has dazzled players with previews of new abilities for Link in TOTK , including a mechanic that fuses together parts in order to create vehicles. _The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ promises to raise the bar on player freedom and creative problem-solving in open world games, and could very well give rise to its own crop of similar games.

Weapons We Can t Wait To Fuse In LoZ: Tears Of The Kingdom

2025-09-24T00:16:31Z

NathanKiernan92:

The Legend of [https://zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ Zelda Tears of the Kingdom official]: Tears of the Kingdom , brings fans back to the previous game's beloved incarnation of Hyrule while introducing a suite of brand-new locations, enemies, and abilities. One of the new abilities in the game, Fuse, allows Link to combine multiple weapons to create new and unique armaments to use on the monsters and constructs found in Hyrule. We still have a lot to learn about how fusion works, but there is no doubt that the system opens a ton of potential for creative combinations. Here are a few weapons we can't wait to fuse together. 10 Lizal Tri-Boomerang And Savage Lynel Sword One of the coolest weapon lines in Breath of the Wild is the Lizal boomerang, generally found in the hands of the Lizalfos enemy type. As the weapon's name implies, these boomerangs will return to you after being tossed at enemies. That aside, they also make for solid handheld weapons, with the Tri-Boomerang standing as the most powerful of the three. While the Lizal Tri-Boomerang may make for a solid sword, it doesn't hold a candle to some of the game's heavy-hitting weapons, such as the Lynel Sword line. These wide, flat blades are as powerful as the Lynels who weld them, and the Savage Lynel Sword actually has a section of its blade split in three. Fusing a weapon like the Lizal Tri-Boomerang with the Savage Lynel Sword could make for one devastating weapon in Tears of the Kingdom. 9 Ancient Short Sword And Thunderblade There are a few weapons in Breath of the Wild that utilize the mysterious and powerful Sheikah tech that powers t he game's shrines and Divine Beasts. Easily identified by their glowing blue blades and distinct hilts, most of these weapons are perfectly viable for any hero of Hyrule, with the Ancient Short Sword line offering a solid balance between power and speed. While the ancient weapons are some of Breath of the Wild's most appealing, fusing the Ancient Short Sword with an elemental weapon like the Thunderblade could give the sword even more of an edge. Aesthetically, this would make for a fascinating combination while also infusing a popular sword with electric abilities during battle. 8 Cobble Crusher And Great Frostblade 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 terrain. 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 region. 7 Windcleaver And Korok Leaf The Windcleaver is an incredibly unique blade. Acquired by defeating one of the Yiga clan's more powerful members, this large sword is quite powerful, sending a slashing burst of wind toward foes with every swing. But could this unique secondary ability be improved upon? If any weapon could add to the particular abilities of the Windcleaver, it might be one of the game's most unexpected: a Korok Leaf. These normally passive weapons allow you to blow large gusts of wind in any direction, and we'd wager that combining this gust with the Windcleaver's punishing gust would create a larger and more damaging burst of air with every swing while also still allowing the weapon to be used for practical purposes. 6 Torch And Meteor Rod Some weapon combinations feel like they could make normally weak tools into true threats. Take the Torch, for example. The classic tool allows you to make your way across dark and dangerous areas with a source of light – an ability that's come in incredibly handy across multiple iterations of [https://zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ Zelda Tears of the Kingdom DLC] titles – but it doesn't pack much of a punch. So why not combine the torch with another fire-based weapon with a little more damage-dealing capability? The Meteor Rod, an upgrade to the Fire Rod, allows you to blast three small fireballs forward with every swing. Give this already-glowing fire weapon the ability to be held idly to light your path while retaining its flame orb functions, and both of these weapons would see their respective strengths improved. 5 Lizalfos Arm And Savage Lynel Crusher After defeating one of the skeletal Stalizalfos, you'll be able to pick up and use one of their arms as a weapon. Aside from the simple joy of smacking foes with their own fists, you can also toss the Lizalfos arm, with the bone functioning as a boomerang that's much like their signature weapons. You could greatly improve the arm's usefulness by Fusing it with a massive weapon, like one of the game's many Lynel Crushers. Picturing Link holding the Lizalfos arm while the arm itself holds the Lynel's large weapon is interesting enough, but the idea of tossing this arm and essentially using the Savage Lynel Crusher as a boomerang is too tempting to pass up. 4 Giant Boomerang And Royal Guard's Claymore The Lizalfos of Breath of the Wild don't have every boomerang in the game to themselves – not when there are giant Boomerangs out there to be discovered. These massive, traditionally-shaped boomerangs are slow, but they're also huge enough to wallop enemies as a handheld weapon and cover enough ground when thrown to strike a large group down. 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 utilized. 3 Edge Of Duality And Gerudo Scimitar Another large, two-handed sword with a bit of power behind it, the Edge of Duality is as intimidating as it is beautiful. Its unique, Sheikah-based appearance clearly indicates that this blade is capable of some real destruction, although it may swing a bit slower than some of its smaller counterparts. 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 Scimitar. 2 Ancient Battle Axe++ And Double Axe The Double Axe is a unique weapon that's pretty much self-explanatory. A surprisingly long handle houses two large axe blades at one end, giving you an imposing weapon with a lot of reach to boot. Although it's novel, the Double Axe could be even more powerful in Tears of the Kingdom. Combining its reach with the hefty power of the upgraded Ancient Battle Axe could give you a dual-bladed ancient weapon capable of clearing whole crowds. 1 The Master Sword And Anything Admittedly, this one feels a bit like cheating. Still, the Master Sword is the iconic primary weapon of the Zelda series. It's already an absolute powerhouse of a weapon in Breath of the Wild, especially after being fully powered up, but Tears of the Kingdom's new systems open up a world of possibilities. It only makes sense: with Master Sword being broken, this could give the weapon some use prior to being repaired. We're hoping this means the Master Sword is also eligible for combinations, and we can't wait to see what the Flameblade, Royal Broadsword, and other powerful weapons will form when combined with the legendary blade.

**The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom ** may already be many people's prediction for Game of the Year 2023, but those sky-high expectations have also given Redditors some fears about the release.. Breath of the Wild is special title and the massive amounts of critical acclaim and commercial success that met its release raised the bar for the Zelda series as a whole. As a result, many are assuming that its sequel will only continue what it started. However, innovation and evolution were at the heart of what made Breath of the Wild a game-changing success . A sequel of limited ambition and one that fails to expand on what made its predecessor great might end up disappointing fans when it releases later this year. From the same old overworld map feeling stale to Princess Zelda being mostly absent once again, these are some Redditor's biggest fears about Tears of the Kingdom, spawned by Redditor Tyto_251009 . Related 10 Games To Play While Waiting For Tears Of The Kingdom 10 Tears Of The Kingdom Might Be Too Long There tends to be pressure for sequels to always be bigger as well as better than their predecessors, but Nintendo might be smart to focus on the latter point with Tears of the Kingdom . Including side content, Breath of the Wild is already a very long single-player game and Redditor TawnLR is concerned the sequel might inevitably be " too long " and " become boring after 40 hours or so. " Breath of the Wild is a sprawling experience but whether all of its additional content landed, particularly the purely completionist elements like collecting all of the Korok seeds, is a matter of debate. For fans that have had six years to get to grips with the game's mechanics and its world, Tears of the Kingdom could easily become boring a lot quicker if it's simply more of the same. That's why a focus on brevity could be the best way to ensure the sequel doesn't disappoint. 9 Princess Zelda Might Be Notably Absent Again Part of what could make or break [https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/ Tears of the Kingdom Game] of the Kingdom as a satisfying sequel is whether it addresses the biggest complaints about BOTW and that includes more than just annoying gameplay mechanics. Breath of the Wild 's princess is the best version of Zelda the games have produced and fans like Redditor Multi-tunes would not be happy if she's "almost completely absent from the game until the end again. " Throughout the Legend of Zelda series, the princess has often been disappointingly reduced to a damsel-in-distress role, but her Breath of the Wild characterization made her far more human and likable as a character. Now would be the perfect time for her to have more agency which is why there have been countless calls for her to be a playable character in the sequel. For Tears of the Kingdom to ignore fans and give her the same clichéd role again would be more than disappointing. Related: 10 Harsh Realities Of Replaying Majora's Mask 8 Climbing In The Rain Might Remain The Same The biggest questions surrounding Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom might be its story and what it does with the world, but how it addresses small details is something that fans have just as many fears about. A harsh reality of replaying Breath of the Wild is that it does have some frustrating gameplay and Redditor Geshtar1 's biggest concern is that " rain and climbing mechanics remain the same " in the sequel. Whilst weapons breaking too easily might have been a more popular topic of criticism, it's clear that it's part of a purposeful effort to get the player to be smart and resourceful. In contrast, the near-impossibility of climbing surfaces in the rain means there really isn't anything the player can do but resign themselves to frustration in those sections. That makes it a no-brainer to adjust for some fans if TOTK is to be a less annoying experience. 7 Tears Of The Kingdom Might Leave Out The Hookshot 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 Kingdom . The hookshot is far from the only classic Zelda item that Breath of the Wild removed in aid of both its shift away from the Zelda series' traditional sequential system of gaining key items and the new exploration mechanics, but it's perhaps the most beloved. Whilst the idea that they stay committed to denying the player a hookshot doesn't seem major, it would likely mean traversal in general isn't getting refreshed and that would be a bigger disappointment.

BotW had plenty of fun and challenging enemies , but that's likely exactly why Redditor NoEggsOrBeansPlz is worried they'll get complacent and fail to " add more enemy variety " in the sequel. Enemy variety was one of Breath of the Wild 's strong suits but giving old enemies extra attacks or armor won't be enough to make for the challenging new combat encounters fans will need to truly enjoy the new game. Fans are also hoping to see the return of fan-favorite enemies like ReDeads and Darknuts, so this is one area where fans would be bitterly disappointed if Tears of the Kingdom went for a lazier option. 5 Tears Of The Kingdom Might Not Have Dungeons Massive franchises like the Zelda series are expected to constantly evolve but, for once, TOTK is a sequel where going back to an older format might be the best thing the developers can do. It seems strange given that Breath of the Wild was the best-selling Zelda series game ever but Redditor TriforksWarrior isn't alone in saying they'd be " a little disappointed " if the sequel didn't utilize a more traditional dungeon system. Breath of the Wild 's Divine Beasts and its shrines provided an interesting alternative, but there's something fundamentally satisfying about beating large self-contained dungeons that each have their own unique themes and challenges. Whilst Nintendo has proved time and time again that they thrive when given the freedom to experiment and make big changes, traditional Zelda dungeons have a unique appeal that means anything else will automatically disappoint some.

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 justice ." The Nintendo Switch has some visually stunning games but its limitations have begun to show more and more in recent years, with the troubled Pokémon Scarlet and Violet release reminding people that it's simply not a very powerful machine, particularly in comparison to the newest generation of consoles. Tears of the Kingdom will inevitably aim to be a beautiful experience on a grand scale, which is why the Switch's graphical and technical limitations might become more noticeable than ever. 3 Tears Of The Kingdom's Map Might Disappoint Given Tears of the Kingdom started life as a planned DLC for Breath of the Wild (via Polygon ) before it became a full sequel, it's hard to imagine it will change a lot about the core mechanics and even the main map from the original game. Redditor jack33jack worries that " the real magic of BOTW was exploring a large new place and discovering mechanics " and the sequel simply won't be able to deliver that same thrill. Breath of the Wild provided a vibrant open world but it's hard to imagine revisiting the same locations with simple tweaks and new enemies will be as much fun. Whilst expanding the map to add new areas is one interesting direction the sequel could go, there would still be no incentive to spend time exploring the main area anymore. Rewarding exploration was at the heart of Breath of the Wild, so there are legitimate concerns about whether it's even possible for the sequel to live up.

Whilst these changes are pretty standard for a massive AAA title at this point, it still has Redditor gaziway worried that it will be " delayed for release " again. For fans that aren't too concerned about the gameplay or story of the highly-anticipated Breath of the Wild sequel being a let-down, the release of Tears of the Kingdom can't come soon enough. As a result, long and protracted delays could cause the biggest backlash from fans of all, ultimately even potentially tarnishing the release when it does eventually come. With the May release date still standing though, there's reason to be optimistic. 1 Tears Of The Kingdom May Get Backlash For Not Innovating As the sequel to one of the most clever and innovative games the series has produced, Tears of the Kingdom faces massive expectations from fans. That's why one Redditor is most anxious that " people will be disappointed " by it simply because it isn't a " revolutionary, genre-defining game like botw was ." BOTW is full of mechanics and hidden features and that makes it really hard to imagine what Tears of the Kingdom could add that would enhance the experience. Despite that, fans likely won't be satisfied with a sequel that's mostly focused on telling a new story with the same mechanics and format, meaning they could be setting themselves up for disappointment when _Tears of the Kingdom _ finally releases in May.
