DecemberZelda: Tears of the Kingdom Can Finally Show Calamity Ganon's Origins
At the end of the day, Ocarina of Time's scrapped portals are simply something fun to think about. While they may not feature in Breath of the Wild 2 , it's possible they could be unlocked with the power of the Switch at Nintendo's disposal. Nintendo will likely bring many innovations to **The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's ** sequel, and may even revisit scrapped ideas like Ocarina of Time's portals to find inspirat
There are many different kinds of enemies in BOTW , almost all of which serve Calamity Ganon. The main ones are Bokoblins, Moblins, Chuchus, Octoroks, Lizalfos, Wizzrobes, and Pebblits, in addition to some humanoid enemies like the members of the Yiga Clan. There are also stronger enemies that act as minibosses, such as Lynels, Hinox, Talus, and Molduga. All of them vary in strength and rarity, and BOTW 's Master Mode DLC added a few new variants that can't be found in the main game. When Link vanquishes them, they drop useful items and materials that he can use to upgrade his armor, but once the Blood Moon rises they will return to menace him once ag
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
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
Breath of the Wild 2 has seemingly had ample development time. The first teaser trailer was released in 2019, and the game's 2022 release date remains unknown, indicating it might not release until the second half of the year. The development team likely also had reusable assets from Breath of the Wild that could be used in this sequel since it's not only set in the same Legend of Zelda timeline but also seemingly not long after its predecessor - and because it's on the same console, the Switch. What this could mean is that the development team has had time to add a lot of new features, some of which could have been scrapped from prior games. The leading speculation here might show that BOTW 2 is leaning even further into the mystical side of the Zelda universe than its predeces
While Ravali, Urbosa, and Daruk are all beloved by the community as well, Mipha seemed to be the champion that resonated with most players. Part of a strange love triangle between Link and Zelda , the Zora princess was one of the kindest Zelda characters of all t
This rumor is based heavily on the hieroglyphics in the Nintendo Direct trailer. The Zonai remain a mystery throughout Breath of the Wild , but one theory connects the tribe to the Twili from Zelda: Twilight Princess . By the time players explore Hyrule in BOTW , only ruins of the Zonai are left, but the writing matches that by the stone images in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer. This rumor connects to the first one listed in that, if any of the Zonai are alive, they may have relocated to the floating islands in order to survive a possible calamity, assuming some of said islands don't come from the ground like floating Hyrule Castle in the first reveal trailer. Since information on the Zonai is limited, players have to look to the symbolism found in their ruins and the TOTK to craft this ru
The other part of the rumor comes from both the images of Link with a broken Master Sword and the mention in Breath of the Wild that Fi's spirit is dormant within it. Even if Demise doesn't make an appearance in Tears of the Kingdom , it seems likely that Fi will. She's referenced multiple times in BOTW , with her signature sound effect even playing, and she did hope to meet one of Link's future incarnations. But as one of the safeguards against Demise, it seems more likely that they would both appear in TOTK instead of only one or the other being inclu
Nintendo hasn't revealed much in the way of information regarding the sequel to **The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild exploits 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 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
