BOTW: Everything You Still Need To Finish Before Zelda: TOTK Comes Out

The bard, Kass, may not have been a great warrior helping Link defeat the Divine Beasts and Ganon himself, but Kass has earned his place in BOTW history with his songs recounting the tales of the Hero of Hyrule. Not only did he provide Link with Shrine quests, but he also taught Link, and the player, a good deal of history and lore in moving and meaningful ways. Tears of the Kingdom just wouldn’t feel right without this minstrel’s so

It may not even be the Hyrule players are familiar with that gets destroyed. Time and time travel are prominent elements in the Zelda series, and BOTW is not an exception. There’s decent evidence to indicate that Link will be sent backwards in time in TOTK , perhaps even as far as the first Great Calamity 10,000 years before the events of BOTW , in which case it could be the event that brings the kingdom to tears. Little is known about this era aside from a story told by Impa, so there’s a lot of potential for TOTK to show Calamity Ganon’s origins and other events from that time such as the battle between him and the fabled hero and princess. What exactly _Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ ‘s name means for its story is too early to tell, but there are a great many exciting possibilit

Purah was certainly wise beyond her perceived years in BOTW . This is, of course, because she was not actually a child but rather 124 years old. However, Purah and Impa could change BOTW 2 through Purah’s researched anti-aging abilities. Despite her being a child in BOTW , she is actually Impa’s older sister and a scientist — director of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab where she studies Sheikah technology. Her aging experiments did not become a major focus in BOTW , Majora’s Mask Location but should Nintendo choose to, her research could yet be an important plot point in Tears of the Kingd

Prince Sidon is the prince of Zora, the son of King Dorephan, and Mipha’s brother. He not only assisted Link in taking down a Divine Beast that was threatening Zora’s Domain in BOTW , but also was a good friend to the Hylian hero and shared an emotional bond, in part because of Mipha. Sidon heavily grieves his sister’s death and can be caught speaking to her statue, wishing she were there. The quests surrounding the Zora in BOTW focus heavily on her, and Link’s adventure log reveals his feelings for Mipha , though fans had to sift through the Japanese version to get the bigger picture of this. Contemplating the events that may happen in Tears of the Kingdom it is easy to assume that Prince (or perhaps even King by this time) Sidon will join Link for at least a portion of the trials which he will face in this next chap

Zelda: TOTK ‘s pronunciation was clarified by Nintendo to be tears as in crying, not as in ripping something, according to Eurogamer . The title seems to indicate some kind of great tragedy or disaster, though the exact nature of it is difficult to predict. There are a number of different ways Tears of the Kingdom can be interpreted, however, and the title’s relationship with the game’s story could be something completely unexpected. It could also be meant completely figuratively, and correlate to some aspect of the world or gameplay instead of the story, the same way that Breath of the Wild ‘s title represents its vast open wo

Treasure Octoroks may be BOTW ‘s most annoying enemy, and for good reason. If players aren’t careful when approaching a buried chest, then they might end up fighting an enemy instead of getting treasure. This is irksome enough by itself, but the initial attack by the Octorok also sends them flying backwards, which is severely annoying and can even spell doom if they’re near a high ledge, leaving BOTW players regretting their decision to not do a quick check with the Magnesis rune. In addition, the Treasure Octorok is very fast and hard to hit, making it not a challenging foe but certainly a difficult and obnoxious one. They might not be as bad if they were at least good way to farm Rupees, but the amount they drop is negligible and not worth the effort of seeking them out repeate

There are a few different reasons why Wizzrobes are annoying. Firstly, they almost always float in the air, making them difficult to hit with melee attacks unless players can hit their weak points and knock them to the ground. They also have a habit of disappearing and forcing players to wait while they move to a new position. There’s also the matter of their elemental powers, which can freeze, burn, or electrocute Link and prevent him from performing any of the attack combos that BOTW ‘s combat system permits. The advanced versions are even more annoying since they can alter the weather and summon Chuchus to run interference. The most annoying out of all of them, however, are the electric variants, since they cannot be destroyed in one hit like the other two and because their attacks make Link drop his gear unless he has protective effects act

There’s also more creative challenges like custom builds for Link to use in Breath of the Wild . For example, players might only wear the Guardian Armor and use Ancient and Guardian weapons, or the Barbarian armor with Bokoblin and Moblin weapons. They can play through the entire game with only the starting clothes and terribly weak weapons like Tree Branches if they so wish. Playing through the game on Master Mode — which is something of a survival mode that was introduced in BOTW ‘s Master Trials DLC — can also add an extra challenge. Players can even set smaller rules like only using archery in combat, or only using bombs. Breath of the Wild ‘s open-world format and its focus on player freedom mean that there’s plenty of ways to play and keep the game fresh until _Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ comes
