Link and Zelda are obvious must-haves that possibly do not even deserve a spot on the list. Not only are Link and Zelda both shown in the trailers for Tears of the Kingdom , but they are also the main characters in the series. However, it is still quite possible that their roles could see some changes from the norm in this new story. Mainly because Zelda won’t actually be a princess this time around, and it will be interesting to see if Nintendo Switch 2 leans into that change in Hyrule’s leadership and what ripple effects that could cre
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
One thing fans can expect Tears of the Kingdom to do that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild did is to both introduce new races and expand upon the already created ones within the kingdom of Hyrule. This may even extend beyond Hyrule, because Tears of the Kingdom promises to expand the world even fart
The Hyoi Pear’s use and effect were simple. Link would place the pear on his head, and a seagull would swoop down and eat it. From there, the player would be able to control the seagull until it either took damage, or the player willingly gave up control. While the idea sunds about as silly as Wind Waker ‘s Link playing a theremin , it was quite useful, as the seagull could find treasures and even solve some puzzles. It was an odd item, but one that could have plenty of potential for a second appearance. After Breath of the Wild required Link to survive in post-calamity Hyrule, being able to recruit the local wildlife for help in Tears of the Kindgom could be a good next s
Any Breath of the Wild fans that haven’t played Skyward Sword should do so before Breath of the Wild 2 , Tears of the Kingdom, due to the historical significance of the game in the Zelda timeline. Groose has some of the best character development in any Zelda game, and an older and wiser Groose would be a fantastic inclusion in Tears of the King
The Hyoi Pear would be an eclectic addition to Link’s collection of tools in Tears of the Kingdom , and one that could be plenty of fun at that. Solving a difficult puzzle or defusing a villain’s trap by sending a bird to fly to the solution would be a delightfully amusing option to include. Hyoi Pears have not been used in over a decade, but Tears of the Kingdom could let players have birds help Link once more. Since BOTW ‘s Link outfit already resembled Wind Waker ‘s pajamas , bringing back one of Wind Waker ‘s most unusual items as well couldn’t h
The Zora are a race of water-breathing people who bear heavy inspiration from aquatic creature — fishlike beings are some of the best NPCs in Legend of Zelda games . The Zora have created their own city called Zora’s Domain which in most iterations is located just above a body of water, rather than underne
Yunobo was a powerful Goron youth in BOTW and perhaps by the time TOTK makes its debut, he will have become an adult. Without knowing exactly how much time is between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom , it is hard to say precisely. However, this young Goron Champion, Yunobo, could be a powerful companion and friend to Link as he is already known to possess strong powers. As a descendant of the Goron Champion, Daruk, he has the ability of Daruk’s Protection, although he still found himself in situations in BOTW where Link had to come to his aid. Now that Yunobo has found his bravery, and perhaps some more wisdom with age, he could be much more useful to Link in the battles ah
While Ravali, Urbosa, and Daruk are all beloved by the community as well, Mipha seemed to be the champion that resonated with most players. Part of a strange love triangle between Link and Zelda , the Zora princess was one of the kindest Zelda characters of all t
There’s also smaller side objectives such as Hestu’s quest for Koroks in BOTW , which don’t have markers to guide players and sometimes may not even have rewards for completing them. Some of these are rather extensive and can require a good bit of grinding to finish fully, and may not seem worth the trouble compared to other aspects. However, they’re still part of a 100% playthrough and are just as hard to complete – if not more so – than the quests. Players have to search through every nook and cranny of Hyrule for them, but thankfully they can be done as they’re completing other objectives so long as they keep a sharp eye
When Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ , sequel to the hit _Breath of the Wild , releases, it can have some classic enemies that have appeared in past games’ bestiaries. So far, trailers and teaser videos have confirmed that some of BOTW ‘s enemies will return in Zelda: TOTK and that new enemies will also be coming, and there’s likely more that still haven’t been shown yet. Tears of the Kingdom releases on May 12 of next year, leaving some time before players will see which enemies, if any, will come from classic ga
