It’s been four months since we last saw The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and we’re less than 100 days away from getting the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Look at the game again.
Two new trailers have been released within the last few months, but we still don’t know much about what’s happening in Hyrule during the events of Tears of the Kingdom. I will definitely be able to see it when I return.
Here are the biggest surprises we’ve seen in the new Tears of the Kingdom trailer.
ride fun
Remember a few weeks after Breath of the Wild released, players started sharing videos of themselves building their own planes and cars out of barrels and baskets? Nintendo thought they were a pretty good idea. After thinking about it, they decided to integrate the vehicle into the direct connection “Tear of the Kingdom”.
The ancient Master Cycle Zero was apparently added to Breath of the Wild as part of the Ballad of Champions expansion, but the trailer highlights even more new vehicles players can ride, including hovercraft, land rovers, and hot air balloons. increase.
However, these vehicles may not be the only fully constructed items in the world. At 1:39, you can see Link pulling a wheel-like thing out of the swamp. Some time later he is in a vehicle that uses the exact same wheels. Additionally, the hovercraft appears to be held together by some sort of green glue substance. This could be a craft item found in the world, what is certain is that his DIY ethos from the first game is back with even more toys to play with. It’s exciting to imagine what else players can create in Nintendo’s sandbox.
A darker world, a darker story?
All of the Tears of the Kingdom trailers have been pretty grim, but we can see that the Hyrule Kingdom is in a particularly bad place right now. and everything is dark and miserable.
The darker tone follows Nintendo’s unusual trend of following up one of its Zelda games with a darker sequel.Think Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time, or Twilight Princess after The Wind Waker. . The main images of the game so far — Link’s damaged arm and a mummified Ganon — all depict darker sequels.
There’s Gotta Be To World
I’ve seen Link jump from sky plateaus many times, so I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to explore two worlds, one in the sky and one on land, just like in Skyward Sword. There is absolutely no way for Link to take off into the sky. Especially now that you can build your own hover plane just for one-off dungeons.
Assuming the basemap stays the same, dual worlds, especially having one world layered on top of each other, can effectively double the size of Hyrule (although the kingdom The Tears version of Hyrule certainly has a difference compared to Breath of the Wild.
However, there is reason to believe that may not be the case. The various realms shown so far appear to be broken at some point.The final scene of the new trailer shows some sort of horrific destruction taking place across Hyrule. , it is not yet known whether Hyrule is unharmed during the events of Tears of the Kingdom.
Everything is big in Hyrule
The main takeaway from the new Tears of the Kingdom trailer is “more.” Based on the two trailers he’s received so far, here’s everything players loved in Tears of the Kingdom’s Breath of the Wild. More types of enemies (from Bokoblin-carrying flying lizards, to fire-breathing dragons, to what I believe to be ReDead), more heat-seeking arrows and some sort of bomb-thrower. Tools, and more ground (sky?) cover thanks to new hovercraft and hot air balloon technology.
We’ll have to wait until May to see what Tears of the Kingdom really has in store, but it looks like the driving force behind the sequel is what it gives players. more Whatever they want, that’s exactly what the trailer promised.
