The Wind Waker is a game that for a long time stood out as a bit of an outlier in the series. It intentionally had a more bright and cartoonish look than past games, with a more expressive Link as well. This led to a game with a distinctly different feel from past titles. It also introduced one of the oddest items that Link has ever used in the Hyoi P

Fans of The Legend of Zelda ** have yet to figure out exactly why the title of the upcoming Tears of the Kingdom ** was kept secret for its alleged spoiler potential, but the name may actually be a hint about Zelda’s hidden power. The fate of Hyrule was set into motion by the Goddess Hylia long before the events of Breath of the Wild , and TOTK ’s title could be an indication that the Goddess’ namesake kingdom will soon see her return. While Princess Zelda struggled to awaken her sacred sealing power during the battle against Calamity Ganon, BOTW ’s upcoming sequel may yet reveal the full extent of her hidden potent

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

Tears of the Kingdom will have flying mounts , which means Link will take to the skies to explore floating islands. Combining their talent for magic with their reverence of dragons, there could be more Zonai ruins on those islands. They may have expanded their civilization to the sky for advantages in war, or they could have been exiled or driven to the sky in a last effort to avoid being wiped out. While it's possible that the Zonai could be related to the floating islands since both are heavily referenced in the trailer, it seems unlikely that the Zonai will be the focus of the islands since the trailer links the Zonai more heavily with the Calamit

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

By making further use of the Spinner's unique mechanics, it could become an incredibly useful tool for Link in a new adventure.It could ride on surfaces that neither Link nor Epona would be able to cross normally while letting him fight at the same time. The Spinner could also be adapted into one of the Sheikah Slate's new features if it returns in Tears of the Kingdom , strengthening the argument for bringing it back. Twilight Princess is a Zelda game worth replaying before TOTK , and the Spinner was one of its more interesting new id

As far as what type of culture the Zonai had, it seems that they valued power and enjoyed war. The item description of the Barbarian Helm mentions " an ancient warlike tribe from the Faron Region ," and this can be assumed to refer to the Zonai as the majority of their ruins are found in Faron. It's possible that their warlike nature led to the Zonai becoming a lost tribe in Breath of the Wild , but since none of the tribe remain, players have to look at the ruins to find clues about why this tribe vanis

The Legend of Zelda games have seen Link wield an impressive array of items, and _Tears of the Kingdom _ has the opportunity to bring back some of his best tools. No matter how long it's been since their original debut, a lot of items could benefit greatly from a return to the games. In a series about exploration, it can never hurt to have a lot of tools on h

So many fantastic characters cross paths with Link in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . _ With _Tears of the Kingdom following the same locations, but with some new ones added, it is easy to presume that many of these friends of the Hero will return. Whether they play small roles or end up assisting Link and Zelda Breath Of the Wild Switch 2 in saving Hyrule, it will always be nice to see a friendly face ret

Link and Zelda are obvious must-haves that possibly do not even deserve a spot on the list. Not only are Link and Zelda both shown in the trailers for Tears of the Kingdom , but they are also the main characters in the series. However, it is still quite possible that their roles could see some changes from the norm in this new story. Mainly because Zelda won't actually be a princess this time around, and it will be interesting to see if Nintendo leans into that change in Hyrule's leadership and what ripple effects that could cre
