The spirit of the Master Sword could easily make a return in any Zelda amiibo Figures game, but the direct references in Breath of the Wild make it seem only natural that she be in Tears of the Kingdom . Fi and Ghirahim's continued rivalry would also make the prior release of Skyward Sword on the Switch an important move to get more fans up to d

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

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 most obvious recurring location in Tears of the Kingdom is Hyrule Castle itself. Hyrule Castle has been prominently featured in trailers for the sequel, floating above Hyrule Field. In many Zelda games including Breath of the Wild , a corrupted Hyrule Castle has served as the final dungeon. This floating fortress of Malice looks set to be Tears of the Kingdom ’s own final dungeon, with Link and Zelda perhaps storming the castle after breaking a seal similar to Ocarina of Time . It remains to be seen, however, if Hyrule Castle Town has been rebuilt since the events of the previous game, now living in the floating castle’s sha

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 in saving Hyrule, it will always be nice to see a friendly face ret

Aside from the new age champions, Paya was one of the minor characters from Breath of the Wild that actually made it to the end. The young woman is Impa's grandaughter and many thought of her after the exciting Tears of the Kingdom announceme

Arguably the most meme-worthy character in Zelda history, Tingle is a short Hylian man who is most commonly seen in a green jumpsuit riding a balloon. He's appeared in many titles, but his biggest role is in Wind Wa

In the trailers for Tears of the Kingdom , Link and Zelda find Ganondorf sealed away underground. Additionally, chunks of land are launched into the sky by Malice. Both of these concepts suggest that Tears of the Kingdom may allow Link and Zelda to explore below ground, spelunking into long-forgotten caverns and unearthing ancient ruins. Some sparser areas of Breath of the Wild ’s map may be populated by these new ruins, like Arbiter’s Grounds in the Gerudo Wasteland. In Breath of the Wild they are barely visible above the sand, but if they rose up they could form a new dungeon recalling Twilight Princess ’ own Arbiter’s Grou

While Link and Zelda will obviously be making a return to the main cast, there are many other characters that fans would like to see. Thankfully, it isn't uncommon for characters to make return appearances. With the odd timeline of Legend of Zelda games, it's also possible to reuse old characters with new incarnations, leaving a wide variety of possibilities o

Purah was certainly wise beyond her perceived years in BOTW . This is, of course, because she was not actually a child but rather 124 years old. However, Purah and Impa could change BOTW 2 through Purah's researched anti-aging abilities. Despite her being a child in BOTW , she is actually Impa's older sister and a scientist - director of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab where she studies Sheikah technology. Her aging experiments did not become a major focus in BOTW , but should Nintendo choose to, her research could yet be an important plot point in Tears of the Kingd

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
