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

Depending on how deeply time travel is intertwined with Tears of the Kingdom 's story, it's also possible that Link will be traveling back and forth through time. There could be two concurrent stories with their own plot threads in Zelda BOTW 2 , one that takes place in the past and another in the present. Being transported as each story progresses and needing to complete quests to go back and forth doesn't seem likely given the open-world format focused on player freedom, and neither does a sudden shift halfway through akin to Ocarina of Time , but it's possible that players will be able to travel between the past and present at will instead. However, two separate maps - each one a fair bit larger than BOTW 's Hyrule due to the floating islands - feels like far too much to be within reason, and small self-contained areas of the past or present akin to BOTW 's Shrines don't seem likely either based on what's been shown so far. There are certainly other ways this concept could be utilized in BOTW 's sequel without ruining its story or gameplay, however, and they may become more apparent as additional information becomes availa


Across the Legend of Zelda series, Link has battled against numerous types of enemies and bosses. Many of them make frequent appearances across the different games while others only feature in a few. They're rarely the same from game to game, but they're called by the same names and share physical attributes across their incarnations. Some of these recurring foes are in Breath of the Wild , such as Bokoblins, Lizalfos, and Wizzrobes. Others, on the other hand, are absent, including some of the best bosses from Zelda 's water dungeons since there's no underwater exploration in BOTW . However, there is still the possibility for them to appear in Tears of the Kingd


The possible uses for Ocarina of Time's scrapped portals in Breath of the Wild 2 are plentiful. It is possible that they could be located in strict positions, such as denoted to specific spots in Hyrule Castle. However, one must also consider their potential mobility. If Link can harness their power in BOTW 2 __ and move them, they might provide quicker access to the far reaches of Hyrule that the player would otherwise have a harder time accessing. After all, it's unknown if Link will maintain all of his teleportation points from Breath of the Wild in its sequel. If not, these crystals could prove to be paramount in his journey to aid Zelda and reclaim Hyule from the Calamity. Perhaps Zelda will be playable in BOTW2 , and this is somehow involved with the port


There are a few primary pieces of evidence for time travel in Tears of the Kingdom 's new trailer. One of them is the two different outfits that Link wears, both of which have appeared in past trailers. In the beginning of the new trailer, Link appears to have an improved version of the Champion's Tunic from BOTW , and is carrying a sword on his back. Later, when he's shown climbing some roots, he wears a green, one-sleeved outfit, and is carrying a much more primitive-looking wooden cudgel. While different outfits aren't really hard evidence, they seem to be portrayed with a sense of duality that may indicate that Link wears them in two different time peri


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


Some of the new abilities that Link will use in **The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom quest guide: Tears of the Kingdom ** have been revealed, and they look like they will be quite good and fun to use. There may also be more abilities revealed in the time leading up to release, in addition to the ones that players won't see until they actually pick up the game and possible changes to some of Link's returning BOTW abilities . TOTK releases next year on May 12, so there's plenty of time to reveal more of the powers Link will wield on his new adventure through Hyr


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
