Spirits have always played a big role in the lore of the Zelda series, and in Breath of the Wild, similar floating orbs of energy can be seen hovering around the various deceased characters you meet, such as King Rhoam. Since nothing interacts with these particular spirits, it’s hard to say what their purpose in this game may

A first-look trailer that showed Zelda plunging into a pit and a more recent trailer that showed a lot of gameplay of Link and no appearance from the princess seems to all but confirm she won’t be a playable character. However, this is something that fans have been asking for ever since her expanded role in Breath of the Wild and many are likely to continue holding out hope until there’s explicit confirmation she won’t be playable in Tears of the Kingd

When fighting enemies with a lot of health, a way to deal damage over time can be helpful. Using the new TOTK Fuse ability to combine a Crab with an arrow could create a Crab Arrow that has the Crab bite enemies to deal a small amount of damage over time. This can also prove useful against bosses with mechanics that require Link to move in order to avoid damage, as the Crab Arrow can keep dealing some amount of damage to the boss while Link is unable to properly att

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom seems likely to follow a similarly open-ended format to the one that made Breath of the Wild the Zelda series’ most successful title but there’s one thing about the formula it could change for the better. Redditor GoldenTirade certainly thinks so, commenting that they want to see “a postgame/epilogue aside from the main story” in the seq

As the sequel to Breath of the Wild , there are high expectations for Tears of the Kingdom to follow up on the sense of wonder that BOTW provided with its open-world map. The ambitious changes from the developers could make Tears of the Kingdom better than BOTW , and there’s some speculation that more classic elements will be returning to TOTK such as traditional Zelda dungeons. Yet even with the game __ expanding on the world created by BOTW , there are iconic weapons from other Zelda games that Tears of the Kingdom needs to incl

During one of the more ominous shots in the trailer, the game’s villain – presumably the threatening voice of Gannondorf – can be heard commanding his minions to raze Hyrule and destroy the kingdom. We see various enemies manifested through bursts of malice, but one in particular certainly stands

There is a storm raging in many of the shots shown in the trailer, but a particular portion of this raging storm is worth taking note of: a large cyclone hovering above Hyrule exploration in the clouds. It doesn’t appear to reach the land but is nonetheless seen in multiple different sh

Another common motif in the Zelda tattoo community is Link’s wolf form from Twilight Princess . This isn’t so surprising, given that wolf tattoos are popular in general. The flowing mane of Link’s wolf form is also perfectly suited to showing off beautiful line work by the tattoo artist, and the darker palette of Twilight Princess itself justifies a black-and-white tat

Bombs have appeared in almost every game, making them nearly as iconic as Link’s green tunic in Zelda . They are often used to break open secret walls in order to find hidden items or solve puzzles in addition to dealing damage to enemies. Like most of the iconic weapons on this list, Bombs are able to supplement the Master Sword and help Link in situations that can’t always be solved through the use of a sw

On top of one of the sky islands, Link is shown fighting with a large creature. This being is made of square boxes, connected by tendrils of glowing greenish-blue energy that binds his body together. These tendrils were also present in the green golem seen in older trailers for this direct Zelda seq

With the game’s sky islands being such an important part of the experience, a persistent cyclone like this swirling in the clouds is definitely worth keeping an eye on. Who knows what kind of havoc it could wind up causing to both the floating islands above Hyrule and the land be

Long-time fans of **The Legend of Zelda ** happily show off their love for the series with some of the best-looking tattoos.
