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

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

The reincarnated version of the eponymous Princess Zelda Tetra could easily lead a game herself. She is considered by many to be the LoZ 's series' best version of Zelda , and alongside her loyal pirate crew could tell an amazing seafaring adventure tale. A game of her own could dive into Tetra's backstory and give interesting new lore for the world - she became captain after her mother died, but other than that not much is known about her origins, family history, or how she assembled her crew. Whether the game was simply about seafaring and plundering or pitting Tetra against the forces of evil herself, she's a great candidate for a Legend of Zelda protagon

The hieroglyphs in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer reference some scenes that might be familiar to players who've gone through previous Zelda games. This could hint at Demise's return in Tears of the Kingdom , because there is an image of a floating, unconscious woman in the trailer that is reminiscent of Zelda in Skyward Sword when Ghirahim was using her to bring back Demise. The game's name could refer to the Zonai's attempt to summon evil, which resulted in their own demise and led to a dark era for Hyrule as it worked to surv

There's also smaller side objectives such as Hestu's quest for Koroks in BOTW , which don't have markers to guide players and sometimes may not even have rewards for completing them. Some of these are rather extensive and can require a good bit of grinding to finish fully, and may not seem worth the trouble compared to other aspects. However, they're still part of a 100% playthrough and are just as hard to complete - if not more so - than the quests. Players have to search through every nook and cranny of Hyrule for them, but thankfully they can be done as they're completing other objectives so long as they keep a sharp eye

Dinolfos are a very good classic Zelda game enemy to appear in BOTW 's sequel. They look cool and tough, and could make a great overworld enemy that Link would encounter in most all areas. Since they wield weapons, they can have equally cool ones unique to them like other enemies do, and the fire-breathing varieties mean that they can come in different elemental forms like Lizalfos. In addition, they drop Dinolfos Fangs and Dinolfos Arm Guards when defeated in Hyrule Warriors , so they already have some drops for Tears of the Kingdom to use. Since they're also a stronger counterpart of Lizalfos as Moblins are to Bokoblins, the best way to use them could be for them to help lead them and fight alongside them just like Moblins and Bokoblins

In Breath of the Wild , Link has a variety of abilities at his disposal to help him navigate the world and defeat his enemies. The majority of these come from the Sheikah Slate, a mystical artifact left to him by Princess Zelda. With it, he can create bombs, manipulate metal, freeze water into climbable pillars, and even stop time for enemies or inanimate objects. Other powers come from the spirits of his friends, the former Champions who lost their lives fighting Calamity Ganon 100 years prior. From what's been shown of Tears of the kingdom tips of the Kingdom so far, it's uncertain if these powers will return, but thankfully there will be others to take their pl

Known from her appearance in The Wind Waker , Legend of Zelda 's Medli could make an excellent protagonist in her own right. The Rito may have changed in each Zelda game they appear in, but the race has been a key part the world they inhabit in each one, particularly Medli and her musical powers. Medli showed in Hyrule Warriors she's a strong fighter in her own right, using her Rito Harp to launch wind at enemies in interesting ways. This intriguing character could have a whole game delving into the world of the Rito more, using her harp as a weapon against enemies, and her flight ability could lead to unique new in-game puzzles and navigat
