Tears of the Kingdom’s Title May Hint At Zelda’s Hidden Power

Certain enemies can be more annoying than most for a few different reasons. BOTW ‘s most obnoxious enemies might not be powerful , but they usually have mechanics that make them difficult to deal with, and the items they drop typically aren’t worth the effort. Thankfully, most of them are rare, so players may not encounter them on a regular basis. It’s unknown whether any of them will return in TOTK at the moment, and some of them likely will if only because of their prevalence within BOTW , but hopefully they’ll change to be at least somewhat less annoying if

King Bulblin is a minor antagonist in Twilight Princess . He’s the one who first kidnaps the children from Kakariko Village and indirectly sets up the rest of the plot. Link battles him many times throughout the game, both on horseback — with King Bulblin riding Lord Bullbo — and on foot. He’s a loyal servant of Zant, and his Bulblin minions frequently act as minor enemies on Link’s quest. Although he may seem evil, during his last encounter with Link and Midna, he gives them a Small Key and joins their side, stating that he was simply following whoever was strongest as it’s all he’s ever kn

Pebblits may not be the worst enemies to fight in BOTW , but they’re still rather annoying and shouldn’t show up in Tears of the Kingdom . Part of the reason is that their attacks knock Link down when they land, and Igneo and Frost varieties will also burn or freeze him, respectively. They also typically come in groups of three, and while it’s easy to defeat them by throwing them, Link moves very slowly while holding a Pebblit, so one of them can easily get a hit in while he’s taking care of the oth

While much of Hyrule’s past has been left intentionally obscured by the overarching Zelda timeline, there are shreds of details present throughout the canon games and companion books that may add deeper context to the series’ main events. Namely, the Hyrulean Civil War mentioned in Ocarina of Time and the Interloper War alluded to during Twilight Princess are two major events in Hyrule’s history that have yet to be thoroughly detailed. It’s possible that BOTW ’s First Great Calamity is actually another name for the Interloper War, which would place almost every single game on the Zelda timeline between BOTW ’s two apocalyptic Calamit

BOTW ’s history of Hyrule is told primarily through vague legends, most of which are passed to Link by Impa after he loses his memories. As such, the legend of the First Great Calamity 10,000 years before the game’s events create a lot of confusion about BOTW ’s story and the overarching Zelda timeline. Either BOTW must take place more than 10,000 years after every other event on the official timeline so far, or the First Great Calamity occurred during some earlier era of the timeline that has yet to be revealed. If the Zelda theory about the Zonai tribe’s identity as the ancient Interlopers is true, however, then it’s possible that learning the full story of their mysterious disappearance may reveal the truth of Hyrule’s history. This outcome would, however, introduce yet another paradox to **The Legend of Zelda ** ‘s timeline — Ganondorf is first introduced in Ocarina of Time , meaning there would have to be justification for Calamity Ganon’s appearance in the Interloper War/First Great Calamity in an earlier

In Zelda Crossover: Twilight Princess , Link is a simple villager who goes to rescue the children of his village. He soon encounters the Twilight, a power that strips away the light from Hyrule, and is transformed into a wolf. Link then sets off on a journey across a Hyrule swallowed up by Twilight to rescue the Light Spirits and gather the Fused Shadows with the help of Twilight Princess ‘ fan-favorite sidekick Midna . Along the way, the two rescue the lost children and aid the various races of Hyrule. Eventually, they confront Zant, one of the main antagonists, as well as his evil patron, Ganondorf. Once they’re both defeated, Midna goes home to the Twilight Realm before destroying the gateway between it and Hyrule, the Mirror of Twili

They are also expert warriors, excelling the most underwater or just above the surface of the water. Typically, they fight with spears or tridents, but the Zora are generally a peaceful group of people and only fight when they must. Though there are some groups of the Zora that are more aggressive and are considered outsiders by the peaceful members of the r

Regardless of their extensive knowledge, however, BOTW ’s characters are seemingly unaware that Princess Zelda is the era’s incarnation of the Goddess Hylia herself. Zelda devoted her entire life to prayer in order to awaken her sacred power, but her prayers went unanswered by the Goddess. However, Tears of the Kingdom ’s plot may awaken Zelda’s memories as the Goddess Hylia, allowing her to invoke the full extent of her hidden power in BOTW ’s seq

Many fans likely have their own personal hopes for returning characters in Zelda: Tears of a Kingdom , but regardless of who ends up being a part of the game’s narrative, it won’t change the game’s protagonist. At this point, Link has come to be the expected main character of every mainline title in the series. While this hasn’t always been the case for spinoffs, with games like Hyrule Warriors and Tingle’s Balloon Fight DS allowing players to step into the shoes of other characters, and there have been short segments in mainline Zelda games where players could control someone else, a character besides Link has never really gotten the chance to truly sh
