Every New Ability Link Has In Tears Of The Kingdom

Zelda doesn't give Link a shotgun to use as a weapon, but a Rice Arrow could act as a close substitute for a shotgun blast. Hylian Rice can be found by cutting grass in East Necluda, and it can be purchased from a variety of vendors. While the damage would be unlikely to match that of a shotgun from other games, a Rice Arrow could burst on contact to hit multiple enemies at o


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


Much like Hyrule Bass, Fortified Pumpkins in Breath of the Wild are mostly used for cooking. Since they're one of the foods favored by the Sheikah, Link can easily purchase them in Kakariko Village at a shop next to the pumpkin patch. However, Tears of the Kingdom could turn pumpkins into a weapon rather than having them be primarily used for cook


The Korok Leaf is, like the Torch, an item based more around utility than being the weapon BOTW classifies it as. Able to create strong gusts of wind, the Korok Leaf is most often used to propel the many sailing rafts found around Hyrule. By the same token, it can also be used to force enemies backward. Now, with the most recent trailer revealing the existence of new vehicles, it seems more likely than ever that Tears of the Kingdom will improve ocean exploration and sailing. A new version of the Korok Leaf as a tool could easily contribute to this by allowing for the continuous use of sa


A few shots from Tears of the Kingdom appear to take place underground, in caves and caverns. In one particular portion of the footage, next to a handful of Bokoblins that appear to be mining, you can clearly see what looks like spirits floating around on the gro


Massive franchises like the Zelda series are expected to constantly evolve but, for once, TOTK is a sequel where going back to an older format might be the best thing the developers can do. It seems strange given that Breath of the Wild was the best-selling Zelda series game ever but Redditor TriforksWarrior isn't alone in saying they'd be " a little disappointed " if the sequel didn't utilize a more traditional dungeon sys


Using Fuse in TOTK on a Fortified Pumpkin and an arrow could create a type of utility arrow to stun or blind enemies. A Pumpkin Arrow could bind a Fortified Pumpkin onto the head of the enemy it hits. Even if the Pumpkin Arrow didn't do damage when it hits an enemy, the utility of blinding an enemy for a set period of time could be a lifesaver for players in situations such as being outnumbe


Throughout the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Guide series, the princess has often been disappointingly reduced to a damsel-in-distress role, but her Breath of the Wild characterization made her far more human and likable as a character. Now would be the perfect time for her to have more agency which is why there have been countless calls for her to be a playable character in the sequel. For Tears of the Kingdom to ignore fans and give her the same clichéd role again would be more than disappoint


Breath of the Wild is a sprawling experience but whether all of its additional content landed, particularly the purely completionist elements like collecting all of the Korok seeds, is a matter of debate. For fans that have had six years to get to grips with the game's mechanics and its world, Tears of the Kingdom could easily become boring a lot quicker if it's simply more of the same. That's why a focus on brevity could be the best way to ensure the sequel doesn't disappo


Possibly the most unexpected part of this trailer is the inclusion of various vehicles that Link can ride. Although the prior game's DLC saw the inclusion of a motorcycle for Link, that was technically a Divine Beast. These vehicles - including one that looks like a car, a hot air balloon, and a flying platform powered by propellors - seem to be pieced together from parts that are found throughout the wo


While there are no three-headed dragons present in Breath of the Wild, Link has faced off against similar creatures across The Legend of Zelda's history. Most notably, the first title in the series featured a boss named Gleeok, a similar three-headed dragon that is only defeated by the removal of its many heads. If that's the same creature, it would be making its 3D debut after being seen in various 2D titles , much like the Lynels of the previous g


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
