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
The Twilight Realm of Twilight Princess is a parallel world to Hyrule, existing in a state of peace and serenity for most of its history. This shadowy realm is inhabited by Twili, the descendants of a group of sorcerers banished from Hyrule after they attempted to control the Sacred Realm with their magic. It’s said that this conflict sparked a civil war within Hyrule, but it’s unclear exactly who the Twili were before they were imprisoned in the Twilight Re
This rumor is based heavily on the hieroglyphics in the Nintendo Direct trailer. The Zonai remain a mystery throughout Breath of the Wild , but one theory connects the tribe to the Twili from Zelda: Twilight Princess . By the time players explore Hyrule in BOTW , only ruins of the Zonai are left, but the writing matches that by the stone images in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer. This rumor connects to the first one listed in that, if any of the Zonai are alive, they may have relocated to the floating islands in order to survive a possible calamity, assuming some of said islands don’t come from the ground like floating Hyrule Castle in the first reveal trailer. Since information on the Zonai is limited, players have to look to the symbolism found in their ruins and the TOTK to craft this ru
Sheik always seems to appear out of thin air when finding Link throughout Ocarina of Time , showing off a sly nature that would fit perfectly in a more stealth-focused title than the average Zelda game. A Sheik game could fall during the period of time Link is asleep in the Temple of Time and show more about what Sheik was actually doing in Ocarina of Time . Little is known about what happens during the seven years Link legacy is asleep, and a Sheik game would be a great way to learn more about that period of time as well as explore Sheik’s combative capabilities as they hold their own in Link’s absence and wage war against Ganond
Tears of the Kingdom’s release date is still months away, but players have plenty of side quests in Breath of the Wild to spend time on until then. Nintendo’s silence on TOTK and the trailers that don’t reveal much information have led to players forming theories about what the next adventure in Hyrule might feature. Since the rumors rely heavily on speculation, it’s possible that none of them will end up being true. However, it seems likely that there will be, at the very least, a connection to Skyward Sword in **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Legend of Zelda _ is brimming with magical power and mystical worlds, and _Tears of the Kingdom could be setting itself up to revisit some of the legendary realms that have previously appeared in the franchise. As Breath of the Wild’s story continues in the upcoming sequel scheduled for release next May, it seems that some plots from previous Zelda eras may also come to a fateful conclusion in this next game. Link has already been shown exploring a sky zone reminiscent of Skyloft in TOTK ’s trailers, but it’s likely that magical realms beyond the physical bounds of Hyrule will make their return as w
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild.] So-called Breath of the Wild 2 until recently, Tears of the Kingdom is continuing Link’s journey after the defeat of Calamity Ganon. Not much is known about Tears of the Kingdom , but it’s expected to be open-world like Breath of the Wild . As for the story and villains, there are only rumors and theories about whom the newest threat to Hyrule is and why the trailer seems to feature Zonai writ
Midna is Link’s sidekick in Twilight Princess . She frees Link from his imprisonment at the start of the game and accompanies him throughout. At first, she has her own agenda and seems to care little for Link, treating him like a servant and refusing to tell him why she sought the Fused Shadows that they collect. After Zelda sacrifices herself to save Midna’s life, however, she has a change of heart. It’s eventually revealed that she is the leader of the Twilight Realm, and was deposed and cursed by Zant prior to the events of the game. Midna may be a rather annoying Zelda sidekick at the beginning of Twilight Princess , but she and Link grow close over time, and both are sad to separate by the end of the g
