Midna is Link’s sidekick in Twilight Princess . She frees Link from his imprisonment at the start of the game and accompanies him throughout. At first, she has her own agenda and seems to care little for Link, treating him like a servant and refusing to tell him why she sought the Fused Shadows that they collect. After Zelda sacrifices herself to save Midna’s life, however, she has a change of heart. It’s eventually revealed that she is the leader of the Twilight Realm, and was deposed and cursed by Zant prior to the events of the game. Midna may be a rather annoying Zelda sidekick at the beginning of Twilight Princess , but she and Link grow close over time, and both are sad to separate by the end of the g
The Treasure Octorok is a special variant of the normal Octoroks, one that buries itself in the ground and has a fake treasure chest on its head instead of a bush or a rock. If Link approaches it, it leaps out at him and proceeds to run around at great speed, and may bury itself back in the ground after some time. The chests on BOTW ‘s Treasure Octoroks are impossible to move using Magnesis, which is a good way to distinguish them from normal ones. If this chest is struck from a distance, the Octorok will pop out and leave itself vulnerable to an attack from an arrow or Remote B
As Link explores the BOTW sequel’s transformed skies , he will be able to use at least three abilities that have been shown in trailers so far. There are other new items for Link to use, such as a large device that shoots flames, but this looks like a temporary weapon and not something that he will have access to all the time. Though it’s not confirmed, gaming Collectibles it would appear that at least some of Link’s powers comes from his new arm, which could mean that it will serve a purpose similar to BOTW ‘s Sheikah Slate. This arm has been a subject of great interest since it was first revealed, and from what’s been shown so far, it will have no small amount of importance to both story and gamep
The long-running **Legend of Zelda ** series has seen many entries, but never another protagonist besides Link. While there have been brief instances within games where players have had the chance to play as another character, Link has always been an integral part of each title. In the many stories told by the games over time, however, several other characters have been introduced who could serve as worthy video game protagonists besides Link thanks to their interesting narrative potential and new manners of combat when that could switch things up for the bet
These connections may seem arbitrary to analyze, but Tears of the Kingdom’s title may follow a similar pattern if its story does focus on Zelda. Zelda’s Triforce of Wisdom associates her with Nayru’s element of water, which would draw a parallel between “tears” and “breath” in the games’ two titles. As the last surviving member of the royal family, Zelda can be considered the representative of her kingdom, so it makes sense to assume that ” Tears of the Kingdom ” may refer to her tragic story. However, while piecing these parallels together may not feel like much of a spoiler on the surface, the implications that lie deeper within Zelda’s timeline reveal a major potential plot line in BOTW’s upcoming seq
Sheik always seems to appear out of thin air when finding Link throughout Ocarina of Time , showing off a sly nature that would fit perfectly in a more stealth-focused title than the average Zelda game. A Sheik game could fall during the period of time Link is asleep in the Temple of Time and show more about what Sheik was actually doing in Ocarina of Time . Little is known about what happens during the seven years Link is asleep, and a Sheik game would be a great way to learn more about that period of time as well as explore Sheik’s combative capabilities as they hold their own in Link’s absence and wage war against Ganond
If Midna were to appear in BOTW 2 , she may not reprise her role as Link’s companion. Breath of the Wild and Twilight Princess are vastly different games, and it seems odd for her to accompany Link as she once did since he has no sidekick in the first BOTW and there’s no evidence that he will have one in the second. In addition, light is harmful to Midna, since she’s a member of the Twili race. She needs to stay in Link’s shadow whenever she’s in the world of light in Twilight Princess , so it doesn’t seem like she would follow him in a Hyrule not taken over by the Twilight. It’s more likely she would be a minor character if she returns in BOTW 2 , and be involved with a side quest or a minor questline instead of being a main character again. Alternatively, she could also appear in DLC just like her helmet did in the first BO
Breath of the Wild 2 has seemingly had ample development time. The first teaser trailer was released in 2019, and the game’s 2022 release date remains unknown, indicating it might not release until the second half of the year. The development team likely also had reusable assets from Breath of the Wild that could be used in this sequel since it’s not only set in the same Legend of Zelda timeline but also seemingly not long after its predecessor – and because it’s on the same console, the Switch. What this could mean is that the development team has had time to add a lot of new features, some of which could have been scrapped from prior games. The leading speculation here might show that BOTW 2 is leaning even further into the mystical side of the Zelda universe than its predeces
