Every New Ability Link Has In Tears Of The Kingdom

Tears of the Kingdom could end up reenacting Wind Waker 's, but with a different result than the timeline that led to that game's events. There have been so many incarnations of Link and Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda that almost every game could take place in its own dimension, all tied together with the vital elements of the series. Tears of the Kingdom 's flood may not be as world-changing as Wind Waker 's was, and perhaps the land could still be habitable by the game's


In one of the early shots of the trailer, we can see the Bridge of Hylia, the massive bridge that spans the entire length of Lake Hylia. Most of this is familiar territory to those who've played the previous game, but one creature stands out - an ominous, three-headed dragon standing at the end of the bri


The next Tears of the Kingdom ability shown, Fuse, allows players to combine their weapons with objects and materials. From the footage, Link is shown fusing a rock onto the end of a basic stick to create a makeshift hammer, and a pitchfork with a long stick to create a comically over-sized spear. Importantly for BOTW's controversial weapon durability , fusing the weapons seemingly resets their durability and, at least in the case of the stick/rock fusion, greatly extends it, while also increasing the weapon's damage. Fusing weapons with materials, objects, or even other weapons can seemingly lead to specialized equipment, like the greatly extended range of the combined pitchf


The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom seems likely to follow a similarly open-ended format to the one that made Breath of the Wild the Zelda series' most successful title but there's one thing about the formula it could change for the better. Redditor GoldenTirade certainly thinks so, commenting that they want to see "a postgame/epilogue aside from the main story" in the seq


The last ability shown in Tears of the Kingdom 's gameplay demonstration, which can also be seen in previous trailers, is Ascend, which allows Link to go through ceilings, essentially "swimming" through until he reaches the floor above. The ability seemingly doesn't let the player choose an angled trajectory, as the demonstration shows Link shooting directly upwards, and while thin ceilings and platforms will allow Link to phase through almost instantly, others will require more time. This can be seen in the demonstration, where Link uses Ascend on the ceiling of a cave to rise to the top of a small mountain, with Link going through a brief, portal-like transition before emerging at the

What's interesting is that the mechanism seems to manipulate an entire portion of one of the floating islands that Link is exploring. This suggests that there will be parts of these islands that you can alter to explore further, potentially even changing the layout of the realm hovering over Hyr


Another classic Zelda Tears of the Kingdom shrines tool missing from Breath of the Wild , the Fishing Rod, would give much easier access to another category of Hyrule’s wildlife in Tears of the Kingdom . In BOTW , catching fish, much like other creatures, is achieved with careful timing. That being said, though, bombs are a viable option for expediting the process. Nevertheless, including the Fishing Rod in Breath of the Wild ’s sequel would doubtlessly make catching fish a much more relaxing and enjoyable experience. Notably, it opens the possibility for a minigame that could be playable at any major body of water in the game wo


Tears of the Kingdom has already been shown to build upon the world created in BOTW in numerous ways. Although much of the main plot line is being kept under wraps, trailers for TOTK have shown new vehicles and weapons being used by Link to explore both the land of Hyrule and the sky above it. BOTW placed great emphasis on foraging for equipment, as well as utilizing a durability system. Consequently, there were few permanent additions to Link’s inventory. TOTK could change this by adding some useful tools which would never need replacing, thereby removing one of the main sources of frustration in BOTW ’s gamep


While prerelease info regarding the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ **** has been somewhat scarce, a new gameplay showcase has given an in-depth look at some of Link's new abilities. As a rare direct sequel in the _Zelda franchise, Tears of the Kingdom continues the story started in Breath of the Wild , bringing Link back to the same post-apocalyptic Hyrule. However, while the overall landscape seems to be remaining similar to Breath of the Wild 's, new additions like mysterious floating islands and gameplay changes like the ability to build vehicles promise to provide big shake-ups to the game's open wo


In a similar vein to Fuse, the Ultrahand ability allows Link to bind objects together, being the method for creating the vehicles previously seen in trailers. Functioning similarly to the previous game's Magnesis ability, Link uses it first to pick up objects, rotate them, and move them around, being able to stick them to the surfaces of other objects once in proximity. In the demonstration, Link creates a rudimentary boat by fusing three logs and two strange mechanical fans, with the fans starting when hit and seemingly operating off of a limited, but replenishing battery gauge similar to Link's own stam
