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

<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. However, it seems that players might learn more about the Zonai and their relationship with Hyrule in Tears of the Kingd<br><br> <br>By the time Link's journey begins in Breath of the Wild , there are no living members of the Zonai tribe left. Like the Sheikah, the Zonai have a specific spiral-like symbol associated with them. This symbol makes it easy to identify which ruins belong to the Zonai tribe in order to learn about them and their history, and possibly connect them to Twilight Princess through the Twili being the lost Zonai tribe's true identi<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>Purah was certainly wise beyond her perceived years in BOTW . This is, of course, because she was not actually a child but rather 124 years old. However, Purah and Impa could change BOTW 2 through Purah's researched anti-aging abilities. Despite her being a child in BOTW , she is actually Impa's older sister and a scientist - director of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab where she studies Sheikah technology. Her aging experiments did not become a major focus in BOTW , but should Nintendo choose to, her research could yet be an important plot point in Tears of the Kingd<br><br> <br>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 leans into that change in Hyrule's leadership and what ripple effects that could cre<br><br> <br>Popular theories draw connections between the Twili and the Zonai, including the serpent imagery noted in both the Palace of Twilight and the latest TOTK trailer, and the distinct blue-green hue of their magic. As such, the Zonai tribe’s disappearance could be directly related to the banishment of the Twili’s ancestors, making it possible for these tribes to actually be the same. If that’s the case, however, then the Zelda timeline implies that the Zonai vanished from Hyrule sometime after Skyward Sword when the residents of Skyloft repopulated the surface world, placing their disappearance significantly earlier in the kingdom of Hyrule's past than the events of BO<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>One of the more recognizable symbols is found in the title image for [https://Zeldatearshub.com/posts/a-poetic-odyssey-through-detective-conan-s-enigmatic-world.html Gosho Aoyama manga] Tears of the Kingdom : the Ouroboros. With the Legend of Zelda 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>By making further use of the Spinner's unique mechanics, it could become an incredibly useful tool for Link in a new adventure.It could ride on surfaces that neither Link nor Epona would be able to cross normally while letting him fight at the same time. The Spinner could also be adapted into one of the Sheikah Slate's new features if it returns in Tears of the Kingdom , strengthening the argument for bringing it back.

In fact, an allegedly canceled Sheik Legend of Zelda spin-off would have done just that, but fans will never see the completed title. Sheik only appears for short moments in Ocarina of Time that leave many fans wanting more, particularly considering the character's combative prowess and overall powerful nature, which are shown off more in Hyrule Warriors and the Super Smash Bros . ser<br>
