Breath of the Wild 's Divine Beasts and its shrines provided an interesting alternative, but there's something fundamentally satisfying about beating large self-contained dungeons that each have their own unique themes and challenges. Whilst Nintendo has proved time and time again that they thrive when given the freedom to experiment and make big changes, traditional Zelda dungeons have a unique appeal that means anything else will automatically disappoint s

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 Tears Of the Kingdom strategy 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

Tears of the Kingdom's Link can merge different items together with Fuse. And not just some items; at least if the trailer is any indication, pretty much everything within the interactive environment is up for grabs.

Interestingly, another vehicle shown in the demonstration is a basic flying raft - a wooden platform fused with four downward-facing fans and a sail, allowing it to move with the direction of the wind. The limited battery, however, seems to greatly restrict such devices from gaining too much height, which is a far cry from the sky-faring vehicles previously seen in trailers. While not elaborated on in the gameplay demonstration, it seems likely that Tears of the Kingdom 's progression will eventually allow for dedicated ways of building more complicated vehicles, with much greater or even unlimited energy suppl

**The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom ** may already be many people's prediction for Game of the Year 2023, but those sky-high expectations have also given Redditors some fears about the release.. Breath of the Wild is special title and the massive amounts of critical acclaim and commercial success that met its release raised the bar for the Zelda series as a whole. As a result, many are assuming that its sequel will only continue what it star

Link journeys across Hyrule in his efforts to complete his quest. Completing Sheikah Shrines grants him Spirit Orbs, which improve his health and stamina. Finishing every shrine earns him a version of the classic green Hero’s Clothes. Deep within the Lost Woods, he discovers the Master Sword in its ancient pedestal. Once he is strong enough, the spirit of the sword allows him to draw it once more. Link also meets the Sheikah technology experts Robbie and Purah, discovering forest spirits called Koroks hiding across Hyrule, who offer Korok Seeds when found. Elsewhere in Hyrule, Link even helps to build a new settlement, named Tarrey T

Is Hyrule getting European medieval-style dragons now? If so, does this mean that Link can get snatched into the sky at any time? Are beloved horse companions subject to this overhead threat too? Guess only time will tell.

The threat of extreme cold and heat seems to be making a return in Tears of the Kingdom - there's a scene in the trailer that shows dressed-down Link shivering in a freezing landscape - so likely wearable items will continue to play an important strategic role in gameplay.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open-world, exploration-based game similar to BOTW and TOTK , but with a greater focus on combat than any of the games covered in this list so far.

Players can explore its vast, diverse open world by scaling cliffs, riding animals, or soaring through the sky. Secrets, optional puzzles, and platforming challenges are scattered across the map, and players may discover them in any order they wish. Wielding sword, bow, and godly powers, players will face off against monsters of myth, including a snarling Cerberus and towering tit

Like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom , while Tchia draws on games that came before it, it also has its own identity. The detailed world building, based on New Caledonia's folklore and culture, is complemented by cutscenes voiced in the traditional languages of the archipelago. In its most novel mechanic, Tchia allows players to inhabit and control a wide variety of things in the open world, including animals like birds, sharks, and dogs along with inanimate objects. Players can explore the inspired open world of Tchia on PC, PS4, and

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
