Another item from Twilight Princess , the Spinner occupied a niche that very few other items in the Zelda series have taken on. The Spinner was an item that Link could ride. Such a role has otherwise been occupied almost solely by Epona, Link’s trusted horse companion. Although it has only gotten one real appearance thus far, the Spinner’s unique qualities could make it a useful tool in Link’s next advent
The bard, Kass, may not have been a great warrior helping Link defeat the Divine Beasts and Ganon himself, but Kass has earned his place in BOTW history with his songs recounting the tales of the Hero of Hyrule. Not only did he provide Link with Shrine quests, but he also taught Link, and the player, a good deal of history and lore in moving and meaningful ways. Tears of the Kingdom just wouldn’t feel right without this minstrel’s so
One theory dives deeper into the possibilities of returning to Skyloft and what Link may find there, suggesting that it could have been used as a place of refuge for the Zonai. Between the ruins found in Breath of the Wild and the images in the trailer for Tears of the Kingdom , the Zonai and Hyrule seem to have had an unpleasant past. Since Link is shown in the trailer riding a flying device, this theory suggests that the Zonai were not wiped out, and they instead moved to the skies to inhabit Skyloft, giving Link more reasons to head to the skies in TO
Having Ghirahim would likely mean having Demise return as well. Ganon and Demise are the two “big bosses” of Zelda lore, and no Demise inclusion would be complete without his trusty sword Ghirahim. However, given the events and ending of Skyward Sword, it is very possible to have a living Ghirahim with no Demise to resurr
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
The main antagonist of the Zelda series needs no introduction. Fans everywhere have thrown controllers and joycons in frustration over the terrifying threat that is Ganon, from A Link to the Past all the way to Breath of the W
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
Link has always collected items to use over the course of his adventures in the Legend of Zelda games. Most of the time, their primary use is to help him solve puzzles and complete tasks that he couldn’t before. In fact, many of the series’ dungeons revolve around items that the player finds inside of or immediately before them. With Tears of the Kingdom possibly conforming dungeons , it seems likely that old tradition could make a return as well. With the addition of some classic items aside from the old standbys, it could make Tears of the Kingdom an exhilarating experie
The ball and chain is one of the most interesting weapons that Link has been able to wield in the past, and it’s a shame that it didn’t resurface in another adventure after Twilight Princess . It did see relevance again as one of Link’s alternate weapons in Hyrule Warriors , where it granted him an impressive moveset. Connecting Tears of the Kingdom to Twilight Princess could open a lot of possibilities, with the ball and chain as a weapon being one of the b
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
The other part of the rumor comes from both the images of Link with a broken Master Sword and the mention in Breath of the Wild that Fi’s spirit is dormant within it. Even if Demise doesn’t make an appearance in Tears of the Kingdom , Shinichi Kudo Transformation it seems likely that Fi will. She’s referenced multiple times in BOTW , with her signature sound effect even playing, and she did hope to meet one of Link’s future incarnations. But as one of the safeguards against Demise, it seems more likely that they would both appear in TOTK instead of only one or the other being inclu
