Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Hints At The Zonai Hyrule’s Terrible Past: Difference between revisions

<br>Despite the minimal information given in the trailer for Tears of the Kingdom from the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, the imagery from the hieroglyphs suggests that the Zonai will play an important role. It also seems that Hyrule's history will be further explored, particularly the darker portions and possibly their role in the Great Calamities. This isn't the first time that Hyrule's history has been referenced as being dark, but the events of that history are not always expanded upon in-g<br><br> <br>One of the more recognizable symbols is found in the title image for Tears of the Kingdom : the Ouroboros. With the Legend of [https://zeldatearshub.com/posts/zelda-switch-2-editions-cloud-save-drama-fan-fury-explained.html Zelda breath of The wild switch 2] timeline having both Great Calamities and periods of rebuilding, the Ouroboros becomes an appropriate symbol overall. However, the Ouroboros in Tears of the Kingdom is in the specific design of the Zonai dragon ruins. Since the Ouroboros symbolizes death and rebirth, it could imply that the Zonai tribe is not completely gone or that there is a faction of the tribe that has created a hidden h<br><br> <br>The story of The Legend of Zelda begins long before the events of Skyward Sword , which serves as a prequel to the entire Zelda series. This ancient time was known as the Era of the Goddess Hylia, during which an ancient battle against the demon Demise took place. Hylia nearly fell to Demise and, as such, chose to give up her divinity and be reincarnated as a mortal. While she lost her sacred power, her mortality granted her the ability to wield the Triforce against Demise and seal him away, thus saving her king<br><br> <br>Certain enemies can be more annoying than most for a few different reasons. BOTW 's most obnoxious enemies might not be powerful , but they usually have mechanics that make them difficult to deal with, and the items they drop typically aren't worth the effort. Thankfully, most of them are rare, so players may not encounter them on a regular basis. It's unknown whether any of them will return in TOTK at the moment, and some of them likely will if only because of their prevalence within BOTW , but hopefully they'll change to be at least somewhat less annoying if<br><br> <br>The title reveal trailer for **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** has some references to the Zonai, leaving hints that this extinct tribe might have a role in the story. Even in Breath of the Wild , the Zonai never appear beyond traces of the tribe that have been left behind.

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<br><br> <br>The hieroglyphs also show a bird-like figure surrounded by seven teardrop shaped spirals. Since birds are associated with wisdom, this image could be Hylia shedding tears for the kingdom named after her. However, there's a theme in Zelda of having seven sages seal away evil. In that case, the Zonai could have been the bird-like creatures seen in the war image, and the summoner of the evil could be shown as being surrounded by the sa<br><br> <br>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.

Like the Sheikah, the Zonai have a specific spiral-like symbol associated with them.

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<br>
