Best Details From The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Gameplay Trailer

The gameplay demo shows Link attaching a Tree Branch to a rock and an abandoned pitchfork for long-range, more powerful attack weapons. Like Breath of the Wild's campfire-cooked potions and meals, this new Fuse ability will be a game-changer for how Link uses the landscape to his advantage. You can even craft arrows with special abilities. Keese Eyeballs anyone?

At first glance, the land of Hyrule looks near-identical to Breath of the Wild's post-apocalyptic, Guardian-infested map. In the official trailer, you'll notice Link riding around on horseback in the tell-tale green fields of Hyrule's central region.

And no, these aerial animals aren't the same as the graceful, sinuous dragons of Breath of the Wild (although they make an appearance in the demo too). At the very end of the gameplay trailer, Link rides past a creature that appears to be carrying some other living thing in its massive claws.


Tears of the Kingdom 's vehicle construction already looks to be one of the game's big gimmicks, but sailing could act alongside that, potentially with self-constructed boats. Not to mention, a flood overtaking Hyrule could be what the title Tears of the Kingdom refers to, as Hyrule is flooded by a deluge almost like the tears of the goddess falling onto the land. It's possible that the title could have been foreshadowing such an event all al


So why not combine the torch with another fire-based weapon with a little more damage-dealing capability? The Meteor Rod, an upgrade to the Fire Rod, allows you to blast three small fireballs forward with every swing. Give this already-glowing fire weapon the ability to be held idly to light your path while retaining its flame orb functions, and both of these weapons would see their respective strengths impro

Now, the recent release of an official Tears of the Kingdom gameplay teaser shows exactly how Link will face the challenges Ganon throws him this time around. Although nobody will know for sure how things play out in Hyrule until it releases, there are a couple of enticing details the trailer hints at.


While some fans may not recognize Tulin as a returning character (or at all), his place in the final TOTK trailer places him as something of a stand-in for his father, the more familiar Teba, aiding Link in what seems to be sky-based portion of the game, and even being present for the appearance of a giant new boss monster. Of course, this is a major step up from his BOTW appearance, where many players are likely to not even have encountered him or the archery-based minigame that he provides. With Teba suffering from an injury in BOTW , it's likely Tulin is stepping up in his pl


Similar to the Hookshot, the Boomerang is a weapon that sacrifices some damage for the sake of utility. The Boomerang can generally be used to defeat or stun enemies, activate distant switches, and bring items to Link. Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess , which still don't have Switch ports, Increased the usefulness of the Boomerang by allowing players to lock onto multiple targets at once instead of just a single target. Breath of the Wild even included the option to use the Boomerang as a more direct weapon, letting the player brandish it like a sword and perform melee atta


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


There's no doubt that the Zelda team will be looking to innovate even more cool new mechanics for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom but they could just as easily begin re-introducing old ones if they want to please fans. There are some harsh realities when replaying older Zelda Tears of the Kingdom money guide games but the classic items aren't one of them which is why Redditor mikeystrikesback wants to see the "hookshot/longshot, or something that feels like that" in Tears of the Kingd


Whilst Tears of the Kingdom is expected to make sizable improvements on Breath of the Wild, it could also please fans simply by adding fun new mechanics unrelated to the main game. One mistake everyone makes playing Breath of the Wild is not savoring the small things enough but Redditor Kiyooshi 's suggestion of a "more customizable" house "with options for decor and maybe some pets" would help everyone to do

Link's rocking some sort of prehistoric Stone Age look in the gameplay trailer. Not only is he more or less shirtless, but he also sports unbound long hair and noticeable arm tattoos that look very Sheikah-like. In Breath of the Wild, different outfits and equipment gave Link specific abilities that helped him survive certain environments and enemies.

Starting from one of the sky islands, Link can leap to the surface and scan the landscape from a (literal) bird's eye view. Similarly, you can also target specific locations while experiencing the long fall to ground-level.
