One theory dives deeper into the possibilities of returning to Skyloft and what Link may find there, suggesting that it could have been used as a place of refuge for the Zonai. Between the ruins found in Breath of the Wild and the images in the trailer for Tears of the Kingdom , the Zonai and Hyrule seem to have had an unpleasant past. Since Link is shown in the trailer riding a flying device, this theory suggests that the Zonai were not wiped out, and they instead moved to the skies to inhabit Skyloft, giving Link more reasons to head to the skies in TO

Skulltulas are a spider-like enemy that debuted in Ocarina of Time . They have hard shells on their backs that have the appearance of skulls. Skulltulas typically ambush Link by hiding in the shadows and making sneak attacks, and in OoT and Majora's Mask , some were even invisible. Besides the standard variety, there are three other versions: the Big Skulltula, a larger version only found in OoT , the Gold Skulltula that drops tokens Link can trade for items in OoT and Majora's Mask , and the Walltula, a smaller variety that hangs on vi

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

Fans were quick to note that the trailers released for Tears of the Kingdom thus far have featured some notable Twili imagery, suggesting a strong possibility of this Realm’s relevance in the upcoming game. In particular, the snake and Ouroboros images that appear in TOTK’ s trailers are extremely similar to the snake ornaments that decorated the throne room of the Palace of Twilight. These snakelike carvings and hieroglyphs notably appear in the Zonai Ruins in BOTW as well, sparking plenty of theories about connections between the

As usual in games, the demons in Zelda are an antagonist race that appear frequently in the games. Often they are mentioned in the background when describing battles of the past like the hero spoke of in Breath of the W

They are known for aiding the other 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

It's assumed that they possess far more normal strength than the average human due to the many impressive feats that Link can accomplish with usually no training. While many might attribute this to Link being the destined hero, it's important to remember that he isn't worthy because of his strength but because of his cour

Tears of the Kingdom's release date is still months away, but players have plenty of side quests in Breath of the Wild to spend time on until then. Nintendo's silence on TOTK and the trailers that don't reveal much information have led to players forming theories about what the next adventure in Hyrule might feature. Since the rumors rely heavily on speculation, it's possible that none of them will end up being true. However, it seems likely that there will be, at the very least, a connection to Skyward Sword in **The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough: Tears of the Kingdom

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

Pebblits may not be the worst enemies to fight in BOTW , but they're still rather annoying and shouldn't show up in Tears of the Kingdom . Part of the reason is that their attacks knock Link down when they land, and Igneo and Frost varieties will also burn or freeze him, respectively. They also typically come in groups of three, and while it's easy to defeat them by throwing them, Link moves very slowly while holding a Pebblit, so one of them can easily get a hit in while he's taking care of the oth

Time and time travel are prominent aspects in Zelda games, even putting aside The Legend of Zelda series' split timelines , so it's far from outside the realm of possibility for it to show up in Tears of the Kingdom . Age of Calamity especially brings the possibility of time travel that much closer with its story of an alternate Great Calamity and a time-traveling robot. However, it's not certain that Link will travel to the past and stay there. There are other possibilities, such as short quests where Link is temporarily transported to the past, or ones where he experiences it as a flashback similar to the memories in BO
