<br>While Breath of the Wild ’s title seems to warrant no further analysis, its parallels to the title of Tears of the Kingdom may reveal more about the sequel’s plot than initially meets the eye. BOTW 's story was told primarily through Link’s recovered memories, allowing the Hero to rediscover his role of protecting Hyrule from Ganon’s malice after his 100-year slumber. Considering that Link bears the Triforce of Courage associated with the Wind Goddess Farore, it makes sense to associate him with "breath" in the game’s title. In a similar vein, Link serves as a literal link between the player and Hyrule throughout the franchise, allowing them to explore the "wild" through his character. As such, Breath of the Wild becomes an incredibly fitting title as much of the game revolves around simply allowing players to explore Hyrule as the Link of BOTW 's e<br><br> <br>The quests are the primary objectives in BOTW , and it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to complete all of them. Half of the challenge is simply finding them all, since there's very little indication of who has a quest to give and who doesn't, and quest givers can be found in the most random and unexpected of places. Even after players manage to find all the quests, they still will need to put in quite a bit of legwork in order to complete them. Some particularly difficult quests involve gathering extremely rare ingredients, or facing off against enemies that can easily vanquish them if they're unprepared, or fulfilling incredibly specific or rare conditions. Whatever the reason, players can easily leave a few quests behind in even their most thorough of playthroughs, so it's worth doing a few sweeps of Hyrule before TOTK comes <br><br> <br>This isn't the only rumor that involves Skyward Sword , but the floating islands in Nintendo's trailers for TOTK make it likely to be true. Skyward Sword is placed at the beginning of the Zelda timeline, its events happening before those of any other [https://Zeldatearshub.com/posts/the-silent-hero-why-i-miss-link-s-music-in-modern-zelda-games.html Zelda Musical Instruments] title. Since BOTW , and therefore TOTK , haven't been given a place on the timeline, it's uncertain what state Skyloft would be in if it appears in the g<br><br> <br>There are a few different reasons why Wizzrobes are annoying. Firstly, they almost always float in the air, making them difficult to hit with melee attacks unless players can hit their weak points and knock them to the ground. They also have a habit of disappearing and forcing players to wait while they move to a new position. There's also the matter of their elemental powers, which can freeze, burn, or electrocute Link and prevent him from performing any of the attack combos that BOTW 's combat system permits. The advanced versions are even more annoying since they can alter the weather and summon Chuchus to run interference. The most annoying out of all of them, however, are the electric variants, since they cannot be destroyed in one hit like the other two and because their attacks make Link drop his gear unless he has protective effects act<br><br> <br>The official name for Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ , the sequel to _Breath of the Wild , has finally been revealed, and it's opened up a number of questions about what it means for the story. " Tears of the Kingdom " sounds rather ominous, and has some worrying implications for Link, Zelda, and indeed all of Hyrule. Along with the official title, the BOTW sequel's release date confirmed via trailer to be May 12 of next year, so it may be some time before players see exactly what TOTK 's story holds, but more trailers released in the interim will hopefully help shed some light on<br><br> <br>Zelda: TOTK 's pronunciation was clarified by Nintendo to be tears as in crying, not as in ripping something, according to Eurogamer . The title seems to indicate some kind of great tragedy or disaster, though the exact nature of it is difficult to predict. There are a number of different ways Tears of the Kingdom can be interpreted, however, and the title's relationship with the game's story could be something completely unexpected. It could also be meant completely figuratively, and correlate to some aspect of the world or gameplay instead of the story, the same way that Breath of the Wild 's title represents its vast open wo<br><br> <br>Continuing with the Skyward Sword connections, part of this rumor stems from Calamity Ganon being defeated at the end of BOTW and TOTK needing a villain to take his place, a position which Demise could be likely to fill. The images in stone for the TOTK trailer show a woman hovering similar to Zelda when Ghirahim is trying to summon Demise, which means that they could be depicting another point in time when Demise was summoned. He may have been sealed away in Skyward Sword, but he was sealed in Zelda's iconic Master Sword, which is broken in TOTK. Due to this, the seal may have broken as w<br> <br>Wizzrobes are a group of six different enemies in BOTW . There are three base forms, each wielding one of three elements; fire, ice, or thunder. There are also three advanced forms, which are stronger and have more health. While these advanced forms are fairly uncommon, Wizzrobes as a whole aren't BOTW 's rarest or hardest-to-find enemies , and have reliable spawn points like most every foe. Like most elemental enemies, the fire and ice Wizzrobes can be defeated in one hit with an attack carrying their opposing element, but the thunder varieties have no such weakness. When they're defeated, both the base and advanced forms drop their weapons, wands that can shoot their respective elements when u<br>
<br>Another of Link's new abilities in Tears of the Kingdom is something that will allow him to return objects to a previous position. This power also comes from Link's new arm in the BOTW sequel , and has been shown twice so far. The first time was in the E3 2021 trailer, where Link used it to send a spiked ball back at some enemies, and the second was in the latest Tears of the Kingdom trailer, where he used it to ride a large rock up through the air. Both times, the world turned black-and-white, but everything continued to move around the affected object. This ability looks very similar to BOTW 's Stasis and serves a similar function, and it's possible that it's a new or advanced form of<br><br> <br>The Treasure Octorok is a special variant of the normal Octoroks, one that buries itself in the ground and has a fake treasure chest on its head instead of a bush or a rock. If Link approaches it, it leaps out at him and proceeds to run around at great speed, and may bury itself back in the ground after some time. The chests on BOTW 's Treasure Octoroks are impossible to move using Magnesis, which is a good way to distinguish them from normal ones. If this chest is struck from a distance, the Octorok will pop out and leave itself vulnerable to an attack from an arrow or Remote B<br><br> <br>Treasure Octoroks may be BOTW 's most annoying enemy, and for good reason. If players aren't careful when approaching a buried chest, then they might end up fighting an enemy instead of getting treasure. This is irksome enough by itself, but the initial attack by the Octorok also sends them flying backwards, which is severely annoying and can even spell doom if they're near a high ledge, leaving BOTW players regretting their decision to not do a quick check with the Magnesis rune. In addition, the Treasure Octorok is very fast and hard to hit, making it not a challenging foe but certainly a difficult and obnoxious one. They might not be as bad if they were at least good way to farm Rupees, but the amount they drop is negligible and not worth the effort of seeking them out repeate<br><br> <br>The final towns that Tears of the Kingdom should revisit are Hateno Village and Tarrey Town. Both of these locations were developed by Link in Breath of the Wild . In Hateno Village, Link purchases his own house and can decorate it. It will be interesting to see if he’s since sold this house or if, possibly, he now lives there with Zelda. Tarrey Town went one step further: Link entirely created Tarrey Town by assisting Bolson with his construction efforts. With so many residents moving in, the town may have outgrown the small spit of land upon which it was built to become a major c<br><br> <br>Pebblits may not be the worst enemies to fight in BOTW , but they're still rather annoying and shouldn't show up in Tears of the Kingdom . Part of the reason is that their attacks knock Link down when they land, and Igneo and Frost varieties will also burn or freeze him, respectively. They also typically come in groups of three, and while it's easy to defeat them by throwing them, Link moves very slowly while holding a Pebblit, so one of them can easily get a hit in while he's taking care of the oth<br><br> <br>The latest ability to be revealed for Tears of the Kingdom is a mechanical, bird-like glider. This was shown for only a few seconds in the latest trailer, where Link landed on it from a skydive and gently glided over Hyrule. Unlike the other powers revealed so far, there's no evidence that this is connected to Link's new arm. It also doesn't look like it's of Sheikah make, as it's quite different from their other automatons such as the Guardians and Divine Bea<br><br> <br>From the looks of TOTK 's trailers, this ability should prove very useful. BOTW comes with many boulders that players can roll at enemies, and vice versa. Being able to send them back where they came from sounds very fun and should make for some creative combat strategies. This ability may also become a recurring feature in whatever replaces BOTW 's shrines as its unique function has a great deal of potential for puzzles based around it. However, its uses for exploration seem lacking, and it may not be very good for traversing Hyrule outside certain niche situations such as the one in the trai<br><br> <br>This unearthing mechanic could also answer some of the mysteries left unsolved in Breath of the Wild , the most obvious being again in the Gerudo Desert, south of Spectacle Rock. Here, there are Seven Heroine statues and a Sheikah Shrine quest. But in the lore of Breath of the Wild , these statues represent the Seven Sages. And, more curiously, an eighth statue can be found on the far side of the wasteland, suggesting that one member was shunned by the others. If this site were unearthed in Tears of the Kingdom , the answers may also surface, exposing the history of this iteration of Hyr<br><br> <br>In Breath of the Wild , Link has a variety of abilities at his disposal to help him navigate the world and defeat his enemies. The majority of these come from the Sheikah Slate, a mystical artifact left to him by Princess [https://Zeldatearshub.com/posts/breath-of-the-wild-and-tears-of-the-kingdom-switch-2-updates-a-gamer-s-journey.html Zelda switch 2 edition]. With it, he can create bombs, manipulate metal, freeze water into climbable pillars, and even stop time for enemies or inanimate objects. Other powers come from the spirits of his friends, the former Champions who lost their lives fighting Calamity Ganon 100 years prior. From what's been shown of Tears of the Kingdom so far, it's uncertain if these powers will return, but thankfully there will be others to take their pl<br>
