The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998 and pushed the boundaries of what Nintendo’s consoles could do at the time. Its story and graphics were widely acclaimed, but there were aspects of the game that were cut during development. One cut feature was portals, which would have specifically been used in Legend of Zelda’s Hyrule Castle . These portals would come from crystals, with players able to see the other side of the portal in the crystal’s glassy reflection. Interestingly, the portals were animated and implemented into the game well, but the Nintendo 64 ultimately couldn’t handle the portals along with the rest of the game’s size. This led to the feature being scrap
The Hyoi Pear would be an eclectic addition to Link’s collection of tools in Tears of the Kingdom , and one that could be plenty of fun at that. Solving a difficult puzzle or defusing a villain’s trap by sending a bird to fly to the solution would be a delightfully amusing option to include. Hyoi Pears have not been used in over a decade, but Tears of the Kingdom could let players have birds help Link once more. Since BOTW ‘s Link outfit already resembled Wind Waker ‘s pajamas , bringing back one of Wind Waker ‘s most unusual items as well couldn’t h
Zelda ‘s timeline starts with Skyward Sword , making it a prequel to every other mainline title in the franchise. After the Goddess Hylia sacrificed her immortality to wield the Triforce against Demise, she was reincarnated as the mortal Zelda in the cloud city of Skyloft. After Demise’s resurrection was thwarted by her and Link, however, he cursed their bloodlines to be eternally plagued by his mal
Link’s list of items only gets longer with every game, and that leaves a lot of good candidates for returning items in every installment. There is a lot that can be gained from revitalizing a few classic items for a new title, especially since Breath of the Wild already did a good job of changing the status quo. Hopefully, _Tears of the Kingdom _ can provide players with Link’s best arsenal
The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild _ is coming up soon, scheduled to arrive in May 2023, and since Tears of the Kingdom _ takes place in the same world as BOTW , it is natural to contemplate which characters will be making return appearances. In addition to colorful background characters such as the local business tycoon Beedle, there are many faces familiar to the Hyrule Kingdom that players can expect to see in this upcoming adventure. Some may be obvious, while others will undoubtedly surprise play
Link has always collected items to use over the course of his adventures in the Legend of Zelda games. Most of the time, their primary use is to help him solve puzzles and complete tasks that he couldn’t before. In fact, many of the series’ dungeons revolve around items that the player finds inside of or immediately before them. With Tears of the Kingdom possibly conforming dungeons , it seems likely that old tradition could make a return as well. With the addition of some classic items aside from the old standbys, it could make Tears of the Kingdom an exhilarating experie
So many fantastic Case Closed characters cross paths with Link in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . _ With _Tears of the Kingdom following the same locations, but with some new ones added, it is easy to presume that many of these friends of the Hero will return. Whether they play small roles or end up assisting Link and Zelda in saving Hyrule, it will always be nice to see a friendly face ret
When Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ , sequel to the hit _Breath of the Wild , releases, it can have some classic enemies that have appeared in past games’ bestiaries. So far, trailers and teaser videos have confirmed that some of BOTW ‘s enemies will return in Zelda: TOTK and that new enemies will also be coming, and there’s likely more that still haven’t been shown yet. Tears of the Kingdom releases on May 12 of next year, leaving some time before players will see which enemies, if any, will come from classic ga
There’s no better way to begin a revisit of The Legend of Series than with the first story in its saga, and Skyward Sword’s story and lore present players with plenty to take note of before playing TOTK . Not only are BOTW ’s Goddess statues the very same statues of Hylia that appear in the series’ prequel, but Princess Zelda’s struggle to connect with the Goddess in BOTW may circle back to the lore that was introduced in Skyward Sword . More importantly, TOTK ’s trailers have confirmed a return to the Sky world above Hyrule , so fans of Skyward Sword will likely want to see how this area has changed in the centuries since the Era of
Link and Zelda are obvious must-haves that possibly do not even deserve a spot on the list. Not only are Link and Zelda both shown in the trailers for Tears of the Kingdom , but they are also the main characters in the series. However, it is still quite possible that their roles could see some changes from the norm in this new story. Mainly because Zelda won’t actually be a princess this time around, and it will be interesting to see if Nintendo leans into that change in Hyrule’s leadership and what ripple effects that could cre
