The Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is just a few weeks away from its official launch and the Nintendo Switch is also looking forward to finally playing the sequel to Breath of the Wild. So, to get players ready for launch, we've gathered all the relevant game information in this post! 3m6t5w
It is worth ing that the new game of Nintendo it has also already leaked and there is a lot of new information about it on the internet, but here we will only give information officially released by the developer!
Do I need to play Breath of The Wild before Tears of The Kingdom? 63451x
The oldest fans in the universe of The Legends of Zelda they know that the game has a complex timeline: each one works individually with each other. So, despite being connected, it is possible to enjoy each one without having to consume the previous games.
However, the situation between the releases of Nintendo Switch is a little different, as one is a direct continuation of the other. Therefore, it makes sense to have to play the Breath of the Wild before Tears of the Kingdom to be better contextualized in the events that involve this universe.
Happily, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild it doesn't have a complex story that would take hours to explain. So fans who still haven't been able to enjoy Link's first journey into the open world of Nintendo Switch (or even WiiU) can read or listen to the story over the internet.
What is the story of Breath of The Wild? 44a5h
A summary of The Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is that the game's story takes place 100 years after the event known as the "Great Calamity", in which the land of Hyrule was devastated by a creature known as the Calamity Ganon. Link, the hero of the series, almost died in the first confrontation with these evil forces and had to be sealed away for several decades until he recovered.
In addition to being unconscious for 100 years in the "Sanctuary of Resurrection", Link also lost his memory of the events that transpired. So now he needs to venture through a post-apocalyptic Hyrule, while acquiring powerful weapons and abilities to help in his journey against Calamity Ganon and save the world!
Fortunately, throughout the game, when visiting certain locations, it is possible to recover Link's lost memories, which show his preparation and the other heroes chosen for this journey. That is, in the end, The Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild it's about a story that's already happened and you're just trying to right the wrongs of the past.
In addition to the main character, four other champions, one from each people that inhabits the Hyrule region, were chosen to help Link on his journey: Mipha, of the Zoras; Daruk, of the Gorons; Revali, of the Rites and Urbosa, of the Gerudos. Each of them was responsible for piloting a giant ship known as Divine Beasts. According to the writings, they would aid in defeating Calamity Ganon once and for all when he was awakened.
However, that is not how events went. After appearing above Hyrule Castle, the story's villain was able to take control of the machines for himself, eliminating, one by one, the four champions assigned to face him. So, one of Link's goals is also to reactivate the Divine Beasts for their true purpose.
At the end of the story, the player, equipped with his weapons and the knowledge he has acquired throughout the adventure, enters Hyrule Castle to face the cause of all the destruction of the kingdom and aided by the power of the fallen champions and Zelda. After saving the princess, they plan to rebuild the world and live in peace.
However, is that really it? From what we could see in the trailers for Tears of the Kingdom, the game does not take place long after the events of Breath of the Wild and it is possible to see signs of the destruction caused by the “Great Calamity”. Then an even greater challenge awaits the hero of time in this new game!
Are ToTK and BoTW the same game? 463w2j
Despite Nintendo not showing much extended gameplay, it is possible to observe that the essence of the predecessor was maintained, but that does not mean that significant changes were left out. The Japanese developer spent 7 years to create this sequel, so you can expect a lot of news when the title officially launches.
Still, from the details presented throughout the trailers and other events of the Nintendo, you can already get a taste of these innovations that will be added soon! For example, there is a new range of weapon options that can be used that did not exist in Breath of the Wild. In addition, the hero of Hyrule will also have to face some familiar enemies, as well as new monsters.
The character's abilities have also undergone changes and appear even more complex. The Sheikah Slate, the famous tablet that allowed Link to create pillars of ice in water, stop objects in time and then throw them or even control metal plates, didn't appear in any new trailers. So, it's expected that these powers will now be utilized through the character's arm.
What are Link's new abilities? 43x4i
While it's unclear whether the character's past techniques will be back, Nintendo has teased four new powers that will be with Link on his new journey through Hyrule, and they all seem to further increase the possibilities in the game.
For example, although simple, Ascend will allow the character to move around the map more easily, since it will be possible to cross ceilings and solid caves without the need for stairs or finding the correct path. Also, some parts of the map will only be accessible using this skill.
Recall it will also be another very useful power and will contribute to the creativity of players in Hyrule, as it allows the character to reverse the flow of time of an object, sending it back to its place of origin. This will allow you to manipulate various aspects of the environment or, as shown in the trailer, it will also come in handy in combat, as rocks thrown by enemies can be bounced back to them with no difficulty!
However, none of these skills sound as interesting as the last two: Fuse e ultra hand. The first, although simpler and less complex, will allow Link to combine his equipment with practically everything that exists in the scenario to change power and effect. Have a sword and want to combine it with another? It will be possible! See an object lying on the ground and think it would look nice on your shield? The fusion of the two will also work and create something new for the character to use.
Finally, we also have the ultra hand, Link's power that has drawn the most attention from the community since the announcement. It creates a kind of "adhesive glue" that allows objects to be stuck together to create things and, as shown by the Nintendo throughout the trailers, the possibilities are endless, from the simplest vehicles to the most complex, such as ships powered by air thrusters or hot air balloons.
Is the map of the two games the same? 4g2x4x
Despite being one of the sequels most eagerly awaited by fans, many were concerned about the game's map. After all, they are the same and the only differences would be related to the story and mechanics of the game? Well, in summary, they are similar, but there are several notable differences and novelties.
The land map, unfortunately, appears to be the same, but the trailers give the feeling that, although we are traveling through familiar regions, it is possible to expect surprises at every turn. Obviously, some changes are visible in the trailers, such as Hyrule Castle being raised from the ground or new locations added – such as villages or caves.
However, despite the fact that in his “earthly journey” Link visits places already known by the players, the Nintendo took the opportunity to expand the character's journey in Tears of the Kingdom to the skies as well as the underground of Hyrule. The floating islands, for example, have already been shown in the trailers and will offer new challenges, enemies and landscapes.
In the end, despite being similar maps with notable differences, the map of The Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom it will allow the same freedom and exploration as the previous game, ensuring that Link explores the world however he chooses.
Furthermore, some previews of the game commented on the 2023 release making the Game of the year of 2017 look small! So we have to wait a few more trips to see.
Do weapons still break in Tears of The Kingdom? 213p16
Perhaps this is one of the most controversial and divisive mechanics in the game community and, to the delight of many and the sadness of others, yes, weapons will still be breakable in the new game in the Zelda universe. This was shown during a gameplay from March, which, at the same time, showed that it will also be possible to reduce some of these problems with the fusion of equipment, which restores and even increases the durability of items.
ing that, in Breath of the Wild, weapons were not very durable due to the post-apocalyptic world of Hyrule, where no one forged items anymore and the ones you normally found were already weakened by time. Many players liked this novelty, stating that it showed the cruel reality of the universe and also allowed a little more variation in equipment. Others, however, hated this mechanic, since, in certain combats, especially against more powerful enemies, it was not difficult to remain unarmed.
So yes, despite the details of why the weapons are still weakened, just know that they will break as you play!
Ganondorf has returned! 24456y
The trio of iconic characters from the saga will finally be back, as the return of Ganondorf, the legendary villain of the Zelda universe, has been confirmed by the trailers. The character's appearance, however, also raises several questions about the game's history within the timeline, in addition to being accompanied with a dose of nostalgia, after all, it's been 17 years since we've seen his presence in a main game of the series. For example, the last time fans could see him was in 2006, in Twilight Princess.
Finally, although not confirmed by the Nintendo, Breath of the Wild seemed to be a point of convergence between the three different timelines of The Legends of Zelda, which were divided into Ocarina of Time. So with the character's revival, there are new theories for fans to speculate on until the company officially takes a stand!
Will other characters also return? 1u193g
Although the first Champions of Hyrule were defeated by Calamity ganon before the events of Breath of the Wild, on his first journey through the open world of the game, Link had the help of other heroes throughout his adventure.
Fortunately, faces familiar to fans, such as Sidon, the prince of the Zoras, and Riju, the head of the Gerudo Tribe, appeared in the trailers, and even official artwork for them in the games has already been revealed. The most interesting thing about all this is that, apparently, they fought alongside the main character of the game in normal combats against enemies of the world, not in “programmed” moments. Now, whether or not there will be a companion system, as in other open world games, Nintendo has not revealed.
Who are the Zonals in Zelda? w1q4f
Players most involved with the plot and history of Zelda were also interested in one of the facts presented in a more superficial way during the gameplay trailer released in March: The zonal charge, an item acquired by Link bears an interesting name that refers to a “forgotten” people.
Unfortunately, little is known about this civilization within the universe of The Legends of Zelda, since she no longer exists in the era when video games Nintendo Switch if they . However, it seems that Tears of the Kingdom will answer these and other questions; some information about them has also already been discovered in Breath of the Wild, check out:
The Zonals, mysterious people who inhabit the universe of Legend Of Zelda, are the subject of many theories and speculations. Mentioned in Breath Of The Wild, they have unique and interesting characteristics, such as magical abilities, deep knowledge of the world, and very distinct styles of art and architecture.
One of the evidences of the presence of Zonals in Breath Of The Wild it is armor made by a people far from the Faron region. When visiting the site, you will find traces of the zonai population. Armor makes it easier to explore labyrinths. Furthermore, there are reports that the Zonals were responsible for the construction of Hyrule's labyrinths.
The Zonai people are also known to be very secretive, building cities in isolated places and being extremely wary of with other races. According to records found in the game, they have been extinct for a long time, but many fans still believe that some of the race may be alive somewhere in Hyrule.
And that's not the only news involving the mysterious Zonals! According to speculations from the trailers already shown and also because of the zonal charge,Tears of the Kingdom will have this lost people as one of the great novelties.
