By the time Link's journey begins in Breath of the Wild , there are no living members of the Zonai tribe left. Like the Sheikah, the Zonai have a specific spiral-like symbol associated with them. This symbol makes it easy to identify which ruins belong to the Zonai tribe in order to learn about them and their history, and possibly connect them to Twilight Princess through the Twili being the lost Zonai tribe's true identi

There are three main branches of the Zelda timeline which split from one another after the events of Ocarina of Time . BOTW ’s developers have ambiguously stated that the game takes place at the end of the Zelda timeline, though the exact branch it belongs in remains to be confirmed. Bits and pieces of lore referenced in BOTW and TOTK ’s trailers thus far seem to include details from all three branches, potentially implying that these games will be connected to the timeline in its entirety. A full playthrough of every single mainline Zelda game before TOTK ’s release would be a near-impossible feat, but Zelda fans should be sure to revisit these major tit

Yet another possibility for Tears of the Kingdom is that Hyrule will be destroyed outright instead of corrupted. The Malice that's unleashed at the beginning of the game may cause another event on the scale of the Great Calamity, leaving the land and its people in ruins rather than turned into monsters. Though the landscape seems to be relatively intact in the various trailers, the Malice may only target civilized areas like Zora's Domain and leave wild ones full of monsters alone. BOTW 2 's transformed skies also may offer a twist on this; it's possible that Malice will completely cover the surface in a toxic flood, forcing players to flee to the safety of the floating islands. TOTK 's free open-world format makes this unlikely, however, except perhaps as a temporary occurrence like BOTW 's Blood Mo

The title reveal trailer for **The Legend of Zelda amiibo figures: Tears of the Kingdom ** has some references to the Zonai, leaving hints that this extinct tribe might have a role in the story. Even in Breath of the Wild , the Zonai never appear beyond traces of the tribe that have been left behind. However, it seems that players might learn more about the Zonai and their relationship with Hyrule in Tears of the Kingd

If Hyrule is indeed enveloped by Malice in Tears of the Kingdom , it could change the game drastically. Just like it corrupted the Guardians and Divine Beasts in BOTW , Malice may turn regular animals such as boar and deer into hostile monsters, and may do the same to sentient species like Hylians and Rito. It's established that Malice has the capability to do this since it happened to Naydra in BOTW , and in the very first TOTK trailer , it flows over a rat, which could be another hint that it will corrupt the various inhabitants of Hyrule in BOTW 2 and turn them into powerful enemies and bosses . If this possibility proves true, the game may be much harder than BOTW was due to a lack of people to work at shops and inns, though it's still possible for these services to be pres

The depictions of animals in the Zonai ruins show that three creatures had more importance to them than others. These creatures would be pigs, birds, and, most prominently, dragons. It's possible that the Zonai worshiped the lightning dragon Farosh, who appears around the ruins in Faron. Alternatively, these animals are linked to the three pieces of the Triforce. Pigs are associated with Ganon, who holds the Triforce of Power. Owls are birds associated with wisdom. The Spring of Courage is found inside dragon ruins, which links the dragon to courage. Therefore, the Zonai seem to have a connection to the Triforce or a reverence for

Before Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ releases, some players may want to go back and do everything they've left unfinished in its predecessor, _Breath of the Wild . There's a massive amount of things to do and see in BOTW , some of which are easy to overlook or difficult to complete, and there are still secrets being discovered in BOTW 5 years after its release. Tears of the Kingdom releases on May 12 of 2023, leaving plenty of time for players to go back and scour Hyrule for everything they might have mis

After the reveal of **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** , it didn't take long for theories and rumors about the trailers to surface. Nintendo has done its best to keep the information given in trailers to a minimum, but the hidden details have been more than enough to spark rumors. While some rumors don't hold much weight, others have enough credence to possibly be included in Tears of the Kingdom when it launc

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
