In the new trailer (above) and past ones, such as Nintendo ‘s E3 2021 teaser, Hyrule appears to be much closer to BOTW ‘s familiar open world in scenes where Link is wearing the upgraded Champion’s Tunic. In comparison, scenes where he wears the green outfit have a much more mysterious and wild atmosphere to them. They show less familiar scenery, and seem more focused on new aspects and the floating islands. In addition, Link uses the advanced flying mount when he wears the Champion’s Tunic, which is very telling. It’s entirely possible that the Champion’s Tunic outfit is being used for scenes meant to take place after the events of Breath of the Wild , whereas the ones where Link is wearing his green outfit are in a distant p
Fans of The Legend of Zelda are likely familiar with the Sacred Realm as this spiritual space housed the Triforce for much of Hyrule’s history. The Sacred Realm was particularly important in Ocarina of Time as Link and Zelda’s quest required them to access the Sacred Realm in an attempt to stop Ganondorf from claiming the Triforce’s power. Once opened, however, the Sacred Realm was invaded by Ganondorf, who stole the Triforce and caused it to shatter into three pie
So little is known about the Zonai that they could even allow for the return of Twilight Princess characters in Tears of the Kingdom . Since the greatest remains of the tribe are the ruins and symbolism left behind, information about the Zonai relies heavily on speculation and theories relating to the influences of cultures from the real-world. The new trailer offers more material for speculation, and it seems that the Zonai have connections to the Calamities and darker history of Hyrule, whether they were the cause or not. It’s looking like players will get to delve further into the mystery of the Zonai and their disappearance in The Legend of _ **_Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
This ability to phase through solid matter looks like it will be very useful in Link’s adventure through Hyrule. Though it doesn’t seem like it will have many applications in combat, it could have a great many in traversal and puzzle solving, and can help improve BOTW ‘s exploration in the sequel . Link’s new arm glows green while he uses this, so it would appear that this will be one of its features instead of something he has to pick up in the world like a weapon, though it may still have its limitations. Players may only be able to use it in the floating islands, for example, or only to travel vertically and not horizontally through walls. A new detail in Nintendo ‘s latest TOTK trailer, also hosted on YouTube, may also have shown another limitation; Link carries capsules on his waist that are lit up the same color as the green that accompanies this ability, so it’s possible that they’re a consumable power source that he will need in order to use
As far as what type of culture the Zonai had, it seems that they valued power and enjoyed war. The item description of the Barbarian Helm mentions » an ancient warlike tribe from the Faron Region ,» and this can be assumed to refer to the Zonai as the majority of their ruins are found in Faron. It’s possible that their warlike nature led to the Zonai becoming a lost tribe in Breath of the Wild , but since none of the tribe remain, players have to look at the ruins to find clues about why this tribe vanis
After the reveal of **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** , it didn’t take long for theories and rumors about the trailers to surface. Nintendo has done its best to keep the information given in trailers to a minimum, but the hidden details have been more than enough to spark rumors. While some rumors don’t hold much weight, others have enough credence to possibly be included in Tears of the Kingdom when it launc
The title reveal trailer for **The Legend of zelda Nostalgia: Tears of the Kingdom ** has some references to the Zonai, leaving hints that this extinct tribe might have a role in the story. Even in Breath of the Wild , the Zonai never appear beyond traces of the tribe that have been left behind. However, it seems that players might learn more about the Zonai and their relationship with Hyrule in Tears of the Kingd
Despite TOTK ’s ambiguous position on The Legend of Zelda timeline, it seems that the game may connect directly to Twilight Princess , as many fans have already begun to speculate. Not only are the Heroes of Sky, Time, and Twilight directly referenced by Princess Zelda in BOTW , but several notable details in TOTK ’s trailers seem to reference the Twilight Realm as well. Fans were quick to spot the snake and ouroboros imagery in the most recent trailer (seen below), which is strikingly similar to the ornamentation in the throne room of the Palace of Twilight where Link encountered Zant the Usurper in Twilight Princ
The hieroglyphs also show a bird-like figure surrounded by seven teardrop shaped spirals. Since birds are associated with wisdom, this image could be Hylia shedding tears for the kingdom named after her. However, there’s a theme in Zelda of having seven sages seal away evil. In that case, the Zonai could have been the bird-like creatures seen in the war image, and the summoner of the evil could be shown as being surrounded by the sa
