While some fans may not recognize Tulin as a returning character (or at all), his place in the final TOTK trailer places him as something of a stand-in for his father, the more familiar Teba, aiding Link in what seems to be sky-based portion of the game, and even being present for the appearance of a giant new boss monster. Of course, this is a major step up from his BOTW appearance, where many players are likely to not even have encountered him or the archery-based minigame that he provides. With Teba suffering from an injury in BOTW , it's likely Tulin is stepping up in his pl

While waiting for the release of **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** , some Zelda fans may find that the story presented so far in Breath of the Wild is not as fresh as it could be; something that is only natural when considering that the award-winning game is now five years old. What's more, the tale of the latest era in Hyrule’s history is already remarkably long, spanning a hundred years and many hours of in-game adventuring. As such, with TOTK just over a month away, now is the perfect time to recap the events of BO

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

The addition of new tools in TOTK clearly has the potential to provide many quality-of-life improvements to the game when compared to BOTW . In some cases, there are tools that could greatly improve resource collection methods from BOTW should they be implemented. In others, Breath of the Wild ** ’s ubiquitous durability system means that what could be useful tools are instead weak weapons that come with limited uses in the open-world game. By making such items a permanent addition to Link’s toolkit, Tears of the Kingdom ** can solve several problems with its predecessor’s gameplay experie

An undead-looking creature that wasn't present in the previous game can be spotted next to the various forms of Bokoblins in this cutscene. Due to its zombie-like physique and terrifying eyes, this may signify the return of Redeads, one of the series' scariest creatures. This new form certainly looks horrifying enough to live up to their leg

Shield surfing is a fast and fun way to traverse Hyrule’s hills and mountains, but as with mining it comes with a price. Like weapons, shields also come with their own durability, and shield surfing in Breath of the Wild is an activity that will damage them. A dedicated Surf Board in Tears of the Kingdom would allow players to shred the slopes without fear of leaving themselves undefended in the event of a monster attack. It would also remove the possibility of a shield breaking mid-surf. If players ignore the warnings when durability runs low, this can even prove deadly for Link as he is thrown to the gro

As one of Breath of the Wild 's most popular side characters, it's not surprising to see the return of Prince Sidon. Perhaps more surprising, though, is what seems to be his new role in gameplay, as TOTK 's last trailer shows him fighting an enemy alongside Link as a companion character - a major expansion on his relatively minor role helping against the Divine Beast Vah Rutah in BOTW . Keen-eyed viewers may also be able to spot a crown on his head, as well as a mysterious "tear" on the back of his hand, suggesting that he may have a significant role to play in TOTK 's st

Interestingly, however, despite indications that Zelda might be reprising her perennial role as a damsel in distress, the final trailer for Tears of the Kingdom seems to suggest otherwise, despite her separation from Link in what appears to be an early part of the game. Cutscenes, presumably from later in TOTK , separately show Zelda interacting with a currently unknown character, holding the Master Sword, and awaiting Link at an unknown location, suggesting that she has a larger role to play in the game's story than in B

Inspired by the landscapes of the South Pacific archipelago of New Caledonia, __ Tchia offers a lush open-world adventure similar to the one found in BOTW and its sequel TOTK - but it takes inspiration from other Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom DLC games as well. As Tchia, players will brave dark caves, solve puzzles, climb rocky cliffs, and glide above the treetops. In a Wind Waker -like twist, however, Tchia can also play the ukulele to cast musical spells, and sail her raft between the archipelago's islands. Her ukulele is also fully playable; players can learn actual songs or simply jam
