The Legend Of Zelda: The 10 Most Unusual Races

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 Zelda 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


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


The Sheikah race has expanded into being a more interesting race throughout the years with Breath of the Wild fleshing the race out the most and making them a highly intellectual group of people that have created a plethora of advanced technol


They prefer to live in high-up areas with possibly no preference for temperature. The Rito in Breath of the Wild live in a much colder climate due to their position in Hyrule whereas in Wind Waker live on Dragon Roost Island beside a volc


Tears of the Kingdom 's trailers contain references to the ancient Zonai tribe, whose ruins litter BOTW 's southeastern Faron region. This ancient warlike tribe is said to have mysteriously vanished, leaving the citizens of Hyrule to whisper about their strange and powerful magic, according to the Creating a Champion art book released in 2018. According to Twilight Princess , there were many years of peace after Hyrule was established thanks to the power of its Triforce. However, as word of the Triforce spread, a group of powerful sorcerers known only as the Interlopers attempted to gain control of The Legend of Zelda 's Sacred Realm . In order to stop their plot, the Goddesses had them sealed away in the Twilight Realm along with the Fused Shadow created by their ma


Traditional Zelda dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom would address one of the criticisms of Breath of the Wild , where the puzzles being spread out and the presence of the Divine Beasts left some players missing the dungeons from previous Zelda games. Dungeons generally have Link complete them so that he obtains a reward at the end that helps him with his quest to save Hyrule, like awakening the Sages in Ocarina of Time and collecting their medallions. The image of seven tears in the TOTK trailer could imply that Link will be heading into more traditional Zelda dungeons to gather those te


Some of the items that Link collects on his journey are extra weapons for him to use in addition to his sword. His bow is likely the most famous of these weapons,, although Breath of the Wild included a whole host of new weapons for him as well. Twilight Princess offered a fairly unique weapon option that, despite not appearing in another adventure since, certainly made an impression. With Link now wielding more weapons than before, the ball and chain can make a grand comeb


BOTW ’s history of Hyrule is told primarily through vague legends, most of which are passed to Link by Impa after he loses his memories. As such, the legend of the First Great Calamity 10,000 years before the game’s events create a lot of confusion about BOTW ’s story and the overarching Zelda timeline. Either BOTW must take place more than 10,000 years after every other event on the official timeline so far, or the First Great Calamity occurred during some earlier era of the timeline that has yet to be revealed. If the Zelda theory about the Zonai tribe's identity as the ancient Interlopers is true, however, then it’s possible that learning the full story of their mysterious disappearance may reveal the truth of Hyrule’s history. This outcome would, however, introduce yet another paradox to **The Legend of Zelda ** 's timeline - Ganondorf is first introduced in Ocarina of Time , meaning there would have to be justification for Calamity Ganon's appearance in the Interloper War/First Great Calamity in an earlier


Not every rumor or theory regarding Tears of the Kingdom is likely to be true, but there are some that line up with the scarce amount of information and images that players have seen so far. There are players who have scrutinized even the smallest details and come up with possibilities as to locations Link may visit and characters from other games who might return. However, not everything from past games, such as some BOTW enemies, should return in TO


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 remaster 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
