The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is still being called BOTW 2 __ by many fans as it is set to take place following the adventures of Breath of the Wild in that same open world that players explored previously. It appears as though Ganon has risen again from beneath the castle to unleash a terrible darkness over Hyrule. Not much else has been revealed beyond the three trailers Nintendo has released, which leaves room for much speculation. Here are some of the most likely candidates for returning characters to Tears of the Kingd

Prince Sidon is the prince of Zora, the son of King Dorephan, and Mipha's brother. He not only assisted Link in taking down a Divine Beast that was threatening Zora's Domain in BOTW , but also was a good friend to the Hylian hero and shared an emotional bond, in part because of Mipha. Sidon heavily grieves his sister's death and can be caught speaking to her statue, wishing she were there. The quests surrounding the Zora in BOTW focus heavily on her, and Link's adventure log reveals his feelings for Mipha , though fans had to sift through the Japanese version to get the bigger picture of this. Contemplating the events that may happen in Tears of the Kingdom it is easy to assume that Prince (or perhaps even King by this time) Sidon will join Link for at least a portion of the trials which he will face in this next chap

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

Impa has been a steadily returning character throughout much of The Legend of Zelda , although in Breath of the Wild she was 120 years old. She played an essential role in BOTW by assisting Link in recovering his lost memories and telling him the story of Ganon. Over the years, she has been an important character as a bodyguard to Princess Zelda and even fought valiantly alongside Link in the events of Hyrule Warriors . If Purah's research could be used on Impa, she could in fact prove to be a very powerful character in Tears of the Kingd

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, zeldatearshub.Com 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

One possibility for Tears of the Kingdom 's meaning is that Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, will die. After the events of the first game, Zelda presumably is hard at work rebuilding BOTW 's ruin of Hyrule, helping the people who inhabit it as she wished to in the game's final cutscene. As such, it stands to reason that she would be beloved throughout the land. Tears of the Kingdom could refer to Hyrule mourning her after her death. Since Zelda falls into a crevice in the E3 2021 trailer and has not appeared in any footage outside the cave where she and Link find the withered mummy, this is a terrifyingly real possibil

Not every rumor or theory regarding Tears of the Kingdom is likely to be true, but there are some that line up with the scarce amount of information and images that players have seen so far. There are players who have scrutinized even the smallest details and come up with possibilities as to locations Link may visit and characters from other games who might return. However, not everything from past games, such as some BOTW enemies, should return in TO

The title "Tears of the Kingdom" could also reference the Zonai's past and the events that led to their destruction. There's a common theme regarding dragons with the Zonai, and the logo for Tears of the Kingdom is two dragons of the same style as the Zonai statues eating the other's tail to create a symbol called an Ouroboros. Since the Ouroboros symbolizes the cycle of destruction and rebirth, it seems likely that TOTK will feature the Zonai's history, what happened to them, and possibly their ret

This rumor is based heavily on the hieroglyphics in the Nintendo Direct trailer. The Zonai remain a mystery throughout Breath of the Wild , but one theory connects the tribe to the Twili from Zelda: Twilight Princess . By the time players explore Hyrule in BOTW , only ruins of the Zonai are left, but the writing matches that by the stone images in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer. This rumor connects to the first one listed in that, if any of the Zonai are alive, they may have relocated to the floating islands in order to survive a possible calamity, assuming some of said islands don't come from the ground like floating Hyrule Castle in the first reveal trailer. Since information on the Zonai is limited, players have to look to the symbolism found in their ruins and the TOTK to craft this ru
