Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Rumors Most Likely To Be True

Lady Riju is the Chief of Read the Full ArticleGerudo who had a lot of doubts about being able to lead at such a young age, until Link showed up. Link calming the Diving Beast Vah Naboris helped her overcome her doubts, as she felt his arrival was a sign that Lady Urbosa was looking out for her. Despite his being a man, the Gerudo are true friends to Link. It is left to be seen whether the fact that Ganondorf is always Gerudo in Zelda will bring this group, with Riju at its lead, to the forefront in Tears of the King

Another possibility is that Tears of the Kingdom will bring BOTW 's story full circle with its time travel. 10,000 years ago, Ganon was defeated by an unnamed hero and princess, and while they were never identified in-game, it's a safe assumption that they were iterations of Link and Zelda based on their descriptions and the pair's intertwined destiny with Ganon. However, it's possible that the Link from BOTW and the one from 10,000 years ago are one and the same if time travel is indeed prevalent in TOTK . It's even possible that BOTW 's Zelda is the princess and that she and Link get sent back in time together, in which case Zelda could be a playable character in TO

In Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , there are many annoying enemies that shouldn't return in its sequel, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ . Some foes such as Bokoblins and Moblins have already been revealed in past trailers, but certain others have been thankfully absent so far. _TOTK is set to release on May 12 of next year, leaving plenty of time for more trailers that may reveal how many of BOTW 's obnoxious enemies are in its open world when it comes

Another of Link's new abilities in Tears of the Kingdom is something that will allow him to return objects to a previous position. This power also comes from Link's new arm in the BOTW sequel , and has been shown twice so far. The first time was in the E3 2021 trailer, where Link used it to send a spiked ball back at some enemies, and the second was in the latest Tears of the Kingdom trailer, where he used it to ride a large rock up through the air. Both times, the world turned black-and-white, but everything continued to move around the affected object. This ability looks very similar to BOTW 's Stasis and serves a similar function, and it's possible that it's a new or advanced form of

Perhaps the most obnoxious aspect, however, is that Link needs BOTW 's special armor with fire immunity to pick up an Igneo Pebblit without being burned, and ice immunity to touch a Frost without freezing. Both of these only grant full immunity with a complete set that's been upgraded repeatedly, meaning that a great amount of work and item farming is required to make Igneo and Frost Pebblits unproblematic. Using Fire or Ice Arrows on them can negate their elemental effects, but these are highly valuable and not worth using on such minor enemies. Overall, Pebblits are a nuisance that Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ does not need, and hopefully it won't have them or any of _BOTW 's other annoying enem

class=In Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , Link awakens from a 100-year slumber to find that Hyrule is in danger from Calamity Ganon. He sets out upon a quest to free the four Divine Beasts and rescue Princess Zelda, who has been keeping Ganon sealed for the last century. In the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom , he will go on a new adventure, and while most of it is still unknown, various trailers have revealed that it involves a withered mummy kept sealed deep underground, which is freed after Link and Zelda stumble upon it. Afterwards, pieces of Hyrule rise up into the air, including Hyrule Castle itself, and Link is apparently left with the same arm that kept the mummy sealed, either replacing or covering his own. There are many weird theories about Link's new arm in Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom , and it's been stealthily shown to have mysterious powers similar to the Sheikah Slate from BO

Another form of Princess Zelda, Sheik is a persona taken on by her during Ocarina of Time that could completely hold their own in a separate game. In fact, an allegedly canceled Sheik Legend of Zelda spin-off would have done just that, but fans will never see the completed title. Sheik only appears for short moments in Ocarina of Time that leave many fans wanting more, particularly considering the character's combative prowess and overall powerful nature, which are shown off more in Hyrule Warriors and the Super Smash Bros . ser

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
