<br> | <br>Another possibility is that Tears of the Kingdom will bring BOTW 's story full circle with its time travel. 10,000 years ago, Ganon was defeated by an unnamed hero and princess, and while they were never identified in-game, it's a safe assumption that they were iterations of Link and Zelda based on their descriptions and the pair's intertwined destiny with Ganon. However, it's possible that the Link from BOTW and the one from 10,000 years ago are one and the same if time travel is indeed prevalent in TOTK . It's even possible that BOTW 's Zelda is the princess and that she and Link get sent back in time together, in which case Zelda could be a playable character in TO<br><br> <br>With a new trailer revealing the name for **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** - the sequel to the hit Breath of the Wild - comes the possibility that the events of the game will see Link catapulted into the past, possibly as far back as 10,000 years. Though it's nothing more than a theory for now, there are some interesting new elements that may point to its veracity when taken together. Tears of the Kingdom 's newly-revealed release date of May 12, 2023 leaves plenty of time for more hints or even a full-blown reveal for this theory, along with further details about other aspects that have already been revealed such as a broken Master Sword in BOTW<br><br> <br>The new Tears of the Kingdom trailer came with other things besides hints of time travel; a mechanical mount that Link will fly through the air, a mysterious glowing mural on a mountaintop, and smaller details like strange capsules on his belt and footage of him climbing roots. All of it is far from confirmation of time travel, but it does pose interesting questions. The idea of traveling back to Hyrule 10,000 years ago is an exciting one, and could make Breath of the Wild 's sequel even more fun than it already appeared to be. If the theory is true, then hopefully the time travel aspects are implemented well and don't overly complicate the story so that BOTW 2 's gameplay and improved exploration aspects can shine just like they did in the original Breath of the Wi<br><br> <br>One of the first new abilities that was revealed showed Link passing through the ground on one of Tears of the Kingdom 's floating islands . This was first shown in [https://zeldatearshub.com/posts/the-enduring-legacy-of-zelda-across-nintendo-generations.html nintendo console evolution] 's teaser at E3 2021 (now found on YouTube), but has not appeared since. When Link uses it, he floats upwards while surrounded by some kind of green light, and briefly pauses halfway through the ground before popping out of the other side. Immediately before this, a scene showed a drop of water falling to the ground in reverse, though the significance of this is unknown. Strange music also plays for the duration of the clip, and extends into the following <br><br> <br>Not much is known about the Interloper War mentioned in Twilight Princess , but its placement on the official Zelda timeline may have some deeper implications for the series when combined with the lore about BOTW ’s two Calamities. Assuming that the Zonai truly are the ancestors of the Twili people sealed away to end the Interloper War, then it’s possible that this group was among the first to attempt to revive the Demon King after Demise was sealed away in Skyward Sword . While the vague legend about the Twili’s origins leaves plenty of room for interpretation, it’s possible that the Interloper War has since become known as the First Great Calam<br><br> <br>King Bulblin is a minor antagonist in Twilight Princess . He's the one who first kidnaps the children from Kakariko Village and indirectly sets up the rest of the plot. Link battles him many times throughout the game, both on horseback - with King Bulblin riding Lord Bullbo - and on foot. He's a loyal servant of Zant, and his Bulblin minions frequently act as minor enemies on Link's quest. Although he may seem evil, during his last encounter with Link and Midna, he gives them a Small Key and joins their side, stating that he was simply following whoever was strongest as it's all he's ever kn<br><br> <br>In the new trailer (above) and past ones, such as Nintendo 's E3 2021 teaser, Hyrule appears to be much closer to BOTW 's familiar open world in scenes where Link is wearing the upgraded Champion's Tunic. In comparison, scenes where he wears the green outfit have a much more mysterious and wild atmosphere to them. They show less familiar scenery, and seem more focused on new aspects and the floating islands. In addition, Link uses the advanced flying mount when he wears the Champion's Tunic, which is very telling. It's entirely possible that the Champion's Tunic outfit is being used for scenes meant to take place after the events of Breath of the Wild , whereas the ones where Link is wearing his green outfit are in a distant p<br><br> <br>Considering the godlike power of the Twili’s ancestors and their Fused Shadow with regard to the rest of the Zelda timeline, it’s likely that the royal family of Hyrule and its allies were pressed to find a way to combat the power of the Demon King after the Interloper War came to an end. Hyrule’s ancient period of technological advance first mentioned in BOTW ’s 10,000-year-old legend may have been a result of the efforts of The Legend of Zelda 's Sheikah tribe to protect the land from his evil during this chaotic period. This would place the creation of the Divine Beasts and Guardians much closer to the era of Skyward Sword than previously expected, likely sandwiching BOTW ’s original Calamity between Skyward Sword and every other game on the timel<br> | ||
