Nintendo hasn’t revealed much in the way of information regarding the sequel to **The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ** , but it is possible that the game could incorporate a scrapped feature from Ocarina of Time . The first animated teaser in 2019 showed Link and Zelda exploring some ruins where they seemingly encountered Calamity Ganon. However, no gameplay footage was shown until E3 2021 when Nintendo console evolution released a proper trailer for the game. This trailer shows Zelda falling into a pit of darkness before cutting to gameplay footage that showcases new features coming to the long-awaited seq
The implementation of crystal portals into Breath of the Wild 2 would be unexpected, but also creative and fun. Link could find them in previously unexplored sections of Hyrule Castle where they were originally intended to be over two decades ago, helping players see new locations and building on BOTW’s lore. They could also be used to access the floating islands across Hyrule’s sky. In E3’s trailer, Link is seen floating and maneuvering through solid rock, indicating that he’ll have some form of control over his movement between Hyrule’s surface from Breath of the Wild and the new settlements above it. However, it’s fun to think that these crystal portals could play a part in that discovery. Perhaps Link and Zelda catch wind of the crystals, leading them to Hyrule Castle where they may be encountering Calamity Ganon in the teaser trailer. Then, once Zelda falls into the darkness, Link continues his search for the portals to help rescue her. There’s also potential that each floating landmass in the sky has its own crystal portal to teleport between each ot
Breath of the Wild 2 will see Hyrule expanded in a unique way. Whereas players could only traverse land and water in its predecessor, the sequel will take to the skies and see Link exploring floating islands throughout Hyrule, which will add more lore for fans to sink their teeth into. Link also appears able to control time in the sequel. After an enemy launches a mine at Link, he’s seen pausing and reversing its path, hitting the enemy instead of himself. Unfortunately, the Breath of the Wild 2 E3 trailer is mostly all players have to speculate on at present, though its updates to Hyrule and Link’s abilities look promising. What’s become particularly interesting to consider in the meantime, though, is how scrapped features from past games might return in BOT
The eponymous Twilight Princess from the game of the same name would make an excellent star of a title all her own. Whether she would be in her true form or the much tinier appearance she has in most of Twilight Princess , Midna is both a powerful and entertaining character that would make for an incredibly enjoyable game experience. Midna is one of Link’s best companions in Legend of Zelda ‘s long-running history, and has a combination of unique magic and interesting backstory that make her a perfect potential protagonist. Her fighting prowess was really showcased in Hyrule Warriors, with her control of Shadows making for engaging combat, and she could give more insight into Twili l
One possibility for Tears of the Kingdom ‘s meaning is that Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, will die. After the events of the first game, Zelda presumably is hard at work rebuilding BOTW ‘s ruin of Hyrule, helping the people who inhabit it as she wished to in the game’s final cutscene. As such, it stands to reason that she would be beloved throughout the land. Tears of the Kingdom could refer to Hyrule mourning her after her death. Since Zelda falls into a crevice in the E3 2021 trailer and has not appeared in any footage outside the cave where she and Link find the withered mummy, this is a terrifyingly real possibil
Zelda’s death can affect Tears of the Kingdom differently depending on whether it happens during the beginning or end of the game. If it’s at the beginning, when she falls into the crevice, it’s possible that she’ll return as a spirit and become a companion to Link as she is in Zelda: Spirit Tracks . She could inhabit Link’s new arm in BOTW 2 , and be the source of some of the new abilities that it’s shown to grant him such as returning objects to a previous position and phasing through solid stone. Part of the main quest may even involve reviving Zelda via the Shrine of Resurrection if this is the case. On the other hand, if she were to perish during the ending of the game, the gameplay may not change overly much, but it could make for a very somber ending if she were not shown being revi
Known from her appearance in The Wind Waker , Legend of Zelda ‘s Medli could make an excellent protagonist in her own right. The Rito may have changed in each Zelda game they appear in, but the race has been a key part the world they inhabit in each one, particularly Medli and her musical powers. Medli showed in Hyrule Warriors she’s a strong fighter in her own right, using her Rito Harp to launch wind at enemies in interesting ways. This intriguing character could have a whole game delving into the world of the Rito more, using her harp as a weapon against enemies, and her flight ability could lead to unique new in-game puzzles and navigat
