If Tears of the Kingdom involves time travel as Zelda fans have already begun to theorize, it’s possible that Link and Zelda will need to access the Sacred Realm, Dark World, or both in order to defeat Calamity Ganon once and for all. The Sacred Realm has already been shown to be capable of enabling time travel, case Closed characters as previously shown in Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time . However, it’s also possible that the Dark World’s evil would prevent such a feat if it is, in fact, corrupted by Ganon’s malice, which may require players to restore the legendary Golden Land once more. Link and Zelda’s quest to save Hyrule may take them through multiple mystical realms in **Tears of the Kingdom ** , but players will have to wait until the game’s release next year to know for cert

Zelda: TOTK 's pronunciation was clarified by Nintendo to be tears as in crying, not as in ripping something, according to Eurogamer . The title seems to indicate some kind of great tragedy or disaster, though the exact nature of it is difficult to predict. There are a number of different ways Tears of the Kingdom can be interpreted, however, and the title's relationship with the game's story could be something completely unexpected. It could also be meant completely figuratively, and correlate to some aspect of the world or gameplay instead of the story, the same way that Breath of the Wild 's title represents its vast open wo

One thing fans can expect Tears of the Kingdom to do that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild did is to both introduce new races and expand upon the already created ones within the kingdom of Hyrule. This may even extend beyond Hyrule, because Tears of the Kingdom promises to expand the world even fart

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

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

If players have already completed everything they wanted to in Breath of the Wild and still wish to play the game before Tears of the Kingdom comes out, a good way to make it fun is to play through using custom challenges. Speedrunning is a big one, where players use tricks like wind bombing to finish BOTW as quickly as possible. Hearty food recipes for more hearts and gathering only a few good weapons and pieces of armor before the big boss fight are also good strategies to get a good run time. Players can strive to complete as many or as few objectives as they wish in a speedrun, but generally the only goal is to vanquish Ganon quic

There are a great many side quests that players probably miss in BOTW unless they're actively seeking them out, and some stand out as worse than most. " The Stolen Heirloom " and " The Thunder Helm ," for example, both require players to finish multiple other side quests before they can be completed. " Zora Stone Monuments " involves hunting down hard-to-find stone tablets scattered across Zora's Domain. Missing in Action has a quest giver that's very easy to overlook and sees players going up and down the cliffs of the Koukot Plateau canyon. " Under a Red Moon " is a particularly hard quest to complete, as players need to travel to a remote area to talk to Kass, then stand on a platform under a rare Blood Moon with nothing equipped. There are also others such as Rushroom Rush that require a great deal of farming in order to get materials that players may want to put towards other purpo

The mysterious Zonai tribe is said to have vanished from Hyrule in an ancient time, but details regarding who they were and where they went are unknown. It’s possible that the Zonai tribe was the very same group of interlopers who once attempted to wield their magic over the Sacred Realm to bend it to their will, causing them to be imprisoned in the Twilight Realm. If the Zonai and the Twili truly are connected, then it stands to reason that the Twilight Realm will make another appearance as Tears of the Kingdom explores the mysteries of this ancient tr

The Gerudo Desert is very similar to Egypt, with pyramids and other buried and worn architects. The Gerudo themselves are also similar to Amazons in how they are mostly a female race, for Gerudo rarely have male children. Their belief is that if a male child is born to a Gerudo woman, they must follow him as their k
