They are known for aiding theother people of Hyrule in building bridges or destroying large heaps of rubble that may block a pathway. In many ways, their race could be compared to the typical Dwarves of various Fantasy series due to their love of mountains, forgery, and min

The new Tears of the Kingdom trailer came with other things besides hints of time travel; a mechanical mount that Link will fly through the air, a mysterious glowing mural on a mountaintop, and smaller details like strange capsules on his belt and footage of him climbing roots. All of it is far from confirmation of time travel, but it does pose interesting questions. The idea of traveling back to Hyrule 10,000 years ago is an exciting one, and could make Breath of the Wild 's sequel even more fun than it already appeared to be. If the theory is true, then hopefully the time travel aspects are implemented well and don't overly complicate the story so that BOTW 2 's gameplay and improved exploration aspects can shine just like they did in the original Breath of the Wi

The Sheikah race has expanded into being a more interesting race throughout the years with Breath of the Wild fleshing the race out the most and making them a highly intellectual group of people that have created a plethora of advanced technol

The possible uses for Ocarina of Time's scrapped portals in Breath of the Wild 2 are plentiful. It is possible that they could be located in strict positions, such as denoted to specific spots in Hyrule Castle. However, one must also consider their potential mobility. If Link can harness their power in BOTW 2 __ and move them, they might provide quicker access to the far reaches of Hyrule that the player would otherwise have a harder time accessing. After all, it's unknown if Link will maintain all of his teleportation points from Breath of the Wild in its sequel. If not, these crystals could prove to be paramount in his journey to aid Zelda and reclaim Hyule from the Calamity. Perhaps Zelda will be playable in BOTW2 , and this is somehow involved with the port

Tears of the Kingdom will have flying mounts , which means Link will take to the skies to explore floating islands. Combining their talent for magic with their reverence of dragons, there could be more Zonai ruins on those islands. They may have expanded their civilization to the sky for advantages in war, or they could have been exiled or driven to the sky in a last effort to avoid being wiped out. While it's possible that the Zonai could be related to the floating islands since both are heavily referenced in the trailer, it seems unlikely that the Zonai will be the focus of the islands since the trailer links the Zonai more heavily with the Calamit

In addition, since the hero in Breath of the Wild 's mural telling the story of that battle 10,000 years ago resembles Ganon, it's possible that he isn't the threat that emerged then and therefore not the main villain of Tears of the Kingdom if it does take place in that time. Instead, the damaged state of the Master Sword may point to the real antagonist: Demise, the villain of Skyward Sword , Zora's Domain quest guide who was sealed within the sword, and whose hatred is the source of Ganon's Malice. In this case, Link, Zelda, and Ganon could all work together to bring down Demise, and Ganon may ultimately become corrupted by his Malice and go on to become Calamity Ganon. Like almost everything else about Breath of the Wild 's sequel, it may be pure speculation for now, but Demise returning in Tears of the Kingdom _ could be a great plot twist - one that can bring not only _BOTW but the entire Zelda series full circle - and a way to show Ganon as something other than a vill

Having Ghirahim would likely mean having Demise return as well. Ganon and Demise are the two "big bosses" of Zelda lore, and no Demise inclusion would be complete without his trusty sword Ghirahim. However, given the events and ending of Skyward Sword, it is very possible to have a living Ghirahim with no Demise to resurr

Depending on how deeply time travel is intertwined with Tears of the Kingdom 's story, it's also possible that Link will be traveling back and forth through time. There could be two concurrent stories with their own plot threads in Zelda BOTW 2 , one that takes place in the past and another in the present. Being transported as each story progresses and needing to complete quests to go back and forth doesn't seem likely given the open-world format focused on player freedom, and neither does a sudden shift halfway through akin to Ocarina of Time , but it's possible that players will be able to travel between the past and present at will instead. However, two separate maps - each one a fair bit larger than BOTW 's Hyrule due to the floating islands - feels like far too much to be within reason, and small self-contained areas of the past or present akin to BOTW 's Shrines don't seem likely either based on what's been shown so far. There are certainly other ways this concept could be utilized in BOTW 's sequel without ruining its story or gameplay, however, and they may become more apparent as additional information becomes availa
