If Zant does appear in BOTW 2 , he could become an antagonist again. How big of a villain he would be is hard to predict, but it can be inferred based on what’s been revealed so far. The first trailer for Breath of the Wild 2 , as seen on Nintendo ‘s YouTube channel, showed a glimpse of who is presumably the main antagonist, a withered mummy believed – but not confirmed – to be Ganon sealed away deep beneath Hyrule; whether it is Ganon or not, the role of the main villain appears to be filled, so Zant doesn’t seem likely to be more than a secondary villain. It’s possible that he will become Ganon’s minion once again, and wield his Malice the same way he used Ganondorf’s power in Twilight Princess . If Zant does return as a villain in BOTW 2 , he could also be the antagonist of his own questline or DLC, like Mi
Once the sequel to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild _ – tentatively called _Breath of the Wild 2 – comes out, characters from another Zelda game, Twilight Princess , could make an appearance. Which ones, if any, can’t be said for certain since there’s still so much of the game still shrouded in mystery, however. Breath of the Wild 2 is set to release some time in 2023, so it will be some time before players see whether any characters will ret
In Zelda Wilds Trilogy: 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
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
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
The depictions of animals in the Zonai ruins show that three creatures had more importance to them than others. These creatures would be pigs, birds, and, most prominently, dragons. It’s possible that the Zonai worshiped the lightning dragon Farosh, who appears around the ruins in Faron. Alternatively, these animals are linked to the three pieces of the Triforce. Pigs are associated with Ganon, who holds the Triforce of Power. Owls are birds associated with wisdom. The Spring of Courage is found inside dragon ruins, which links the dragon to courage. Therefore, the Zonai seem to have a connection to the Triforce or a reverence for
Not every rumor or theory regarding Tears of the Kingdom is likely to be true, but there are some that line up with the scarce amount of information and images that players have seen so far. There are players who have scrutinized even the smallest details and come up with possibilities as to locations Link may visit and characters from other games who might return. However, not everything from past games, such as some BOTW enemies, should return in TO
