BOTW 2 Could Bring Back Ocarina Of Time's Scrapped Portals

BOTW 2 Could Bring Back Ocarina Of Time's Scrapped Portals

These are two sets of different dragons and are very different from each other apart from representing the element of their region. Skyward Sword 's trio aids Link by teaching him the Song of the Hero. Whereas the Breath of the Wild trio flies over Hyrule damaging anyone that comes too near, though striking a certain part of the dragon will give Link a useful item to strengthen his g

While Tears of the Kingdom promises to open up Breath of the Wild ’s world once again, many locations have already served their purpose. The locations discussed here expose new angles through which to explore Hyrule’s terrible past in Tears of the Kingdom . Naturally, it’s also exciting to see what new locations are added to the game: Eiji Aonuma and Nintendo (via YouTube) promises Tears of the Kingdom 's " expanded world goes beyond " the already shown sky. This rather cryptic message suggests players may go beyond Hyrule’s borders or possibly into other realms, like the Triforce’s Sacred Realm. **Tears of the Kingdom ** promises to not only revisit but expand Breath of the Wild ’s extensive

Dragons have been a recurring race in the Zelda games and can either be some of the toughest bosses in the game, as well as some of the best boss fights in The Legend of Zelda , or can be powerful allies. There has also been a trinity of dragons in Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild each representing a province of Hyr

In the new trailer (above) and past ones, such as Nintendo 's E3 2021 teaser, Hyrule appears to be much closer to BOTW 's familiar open world in scenes where Link is wearing the upgraded Champion's Tunic. In comparison, scenes where he wears the green outfit have a much more mysterious and wild atmosphere to them. They show less familiar scenery, and seem more focused on new aspects and the floating islands. In addition, Link uses the advanced flying mount when he wears the Champion's Tunic, which is very telling. It's entirely possible that the Champion's Tunic outfit is being used for scenes meant to take place after the events of Breath of the Wild , whereas the ones where Link is wearing his green outfit are in a distant p

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 time travel is present in Tears of the Kingdom in some form, it carries a few implications. The first is that its version of Hyrule would be very different from BOTW . That much was already known, but if Link is getting sent back to the past, and especially if it's as far back as the first rise of Calamity Ganon, then it could be practically unrecognizable, and have an all-new cast of characters either unrelated to those in BOTW or with only distant relations. It could also mean that players will see Ganon's intitial rise first-hand, in addition to other events such as the construction of the Guardians and Divine Beasts, which BOTW 's sequel could use in unexpected ways if

The Gorons are one of the more recognizable races in Hyrule and are known for their strong association with rocks and dwelling in the mountains beside or beneath volcanoes. These creatures possess tremendous strength that they take great pride

Zelda 's timeline starts with Skyward Sword , making it a prequel to every other mainline title in the franchise. After the Goddess Hylia sacrificed her immortality to wield the Triforce against Demise, she was reincarnated as the mortal Zelda in the cloud city of Skyloft. After Demise’s resurrection was thwarted by her and Link, however, he cursed their bloodlines to be eternally plagued by his mal

The most obvious recurring location in Tears of the Kingdom is Hyrule Castle itself. Hyrule Castle has been prominently featured in trailers for the sequel, floating above Hyrule Field. In many Zelda games including Breath of the Wild , a corrupted Hyrule Castle has served as the final dungeon. This floating fortress of Malice looks set to be Tears of the Kingdom ’s own final dungeon, with Link and Zelda perhaps storming the castle after breaking a seal similar to Ocarina of Time . It remains to be seen, however, if Hyrule Castle Town has been rebuilt since the events of the previous game, now living in the floating castle’s sha

There's no better way to begin a revisit of The Legend of Series than with the first story in its saga, and Skyward Sword’s story and lore present players with plenty to take note of before playing TOTK . Not only are BOTW ’s Goddess statues the very same statues of Hylia that appear in the series’ prequel, but Princess zelda breath of the wild upgrade’s struggle to connect with the Goddess in BOTW may circle back to the lore that was introduced in Skyward Sword . More importantly, TOTK ’s trailers have confirmed a return to the Sky world above Hyrule , so fans of Skyward Sword will likely want to see how this area has changed in the centuries since the Era of
