Breath Of The Wild 2: 8 Zelda Characters Fans Hope Return In Tears of the Kingdom

King Bulblin is a character that Zelda BOTW 2 doesn't need , but could still utilize well. It may be best if he or generic copies of him act as a strong but common enemy without bearing on the story, like a Lynel or Hinox. He could become a boss like he was in Twilight Princess , but should only have one fight if so and not face against Link multiple times. There's also potential for BOTW 2 to expand his character, as his last appearance in Twilight Princess showed that he was more than a simple minion. If Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 _ decides to use some _Twilight Princess characters, King Bulblin may seem like an odd choice, but he could also make for a great questline that explores his backgro

Traditional Zelda dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom would address one of the criticisms of Breath of the Wild , where the puzzles being spread out and the presence of the Vah Ruta Divine Helm location Beasts left some players missing the dungeons from previous Zelda games. Dungeons generally have Link complete them so that he obtains a reward at the end that helps him with his quest to save Hyrule, like awakening the Sages in Ocarina of Time and collecting their medallions. The image of seven tears in the TOTK trailer could imply that Link will be heading into more traditional Zelda dungeons to gather those te

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

If the Zonai tribe returns in TOTK , it’s possible that the many timeline mysteries raised by Twilight Princess’ plot may finally be resolved. This ancient tribe may even be connected to the Interloper War that threw Hyrule into a state of chaos in the years following Hyrule’s establishment sometime after Skyward Sword , which could have resulted in their imprisonment in the Twilight Realm. While any potential connections between the Zonai and Twili have yet to be confirmed, it would explain both the vanishing of the Zonai and the mysterious origins of the Twili in an ancient era closer to Hyrule’s founding. In any case, it seems likely that Twilight Princess’ plot and lore will be relevant again in Tears of the Kingdom , making it a must-play for fans hoping to catch up on **The Legend of Zelda ** l

The title "Tears of the Kingdom" could also reference the Zonai's past and the events that led to their destruction. There's a common theme regarding dragons with the Zonai, and the logo for Tears of the Kingdom is two dragons of the same style as the Zonai statues eating the other's tail to create a symbol called an Ouroboros. Since the Ouroboros symbolizes the cycle of destruction and rebirth, it seems likely that TOTK will feature the Zonai's history, what happened to them, and possibly their ret

Tingle has already made a reputation for appearing anywhere and everywhere, so a fun inclusion in Tears of the Kingdom would be perfect. Tingle's role could just be as a humble merchant like in Majora's Mask or as a pivotal side character like in Wind Waker . Either way, many fans will either laugh or groan over seeing Tingle ag

This unearthing mechanic could also answer some of the mysteries left unsolved in Breath of the Wild , the most obvious being again in the Gerudo Desert, south of Spectacle Rock. Here, there are Seven Heroine statues and a Sheikah Shrine quest. But in the lore of Breath of the Wild , these statues represent the Seven Sages. And, more curiously, an eighth statue can be found on the far side of the wasteland, suggesting that one member was shunned by the others. If this site were unearthed in Tears of the Kingdom , the answers may also surface, exposing the history of this iteration of Hyr

The Twili are the race at the center of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess , and fans are given two versions of them. Zant, the usurper, and his followers of shadow beasts are both corrupted Twili and other creatures. The other Twili consists of Midna, the rightful ruler of the Twilight Realm, and most of its citizens which are primarily peace

If Link falls in battle at the end of Ocarina of Time , the Demon King is free to claim the Triforce and lay waste to Hyrule until the Seven Sages successfully seal Ganon inside the Sacred Realm . If Link is victorious, Princess Zelda uses the Ocarina to send him back to his original era, breaking the timeline into two separate paths as the Triforce’s pieces are scattered through time. The Triforce of Courage returns to the past with Link, whereas the Triforce of Wisdom remains in the future with Zelda after his depart

Ocarina of Time is often considered to be the definitive Zelda game as it introduced much of the series’ most important lore while simultaneously splitting its timeline. Ocarina ’s use of time travel via the Ocarina of Time, the Master Sword, and the Door of Time opened the path to the Sacred Realm, allowing Ganondorf to enter and claim the Triforce. Depending on the outcome of Link’s final battle against Demon King Ganon, the timeline splits into three distinct branches, any of which could be relevant again in TO
