The quests are the primary objectives in BOTW , and it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to complete all of them. Half of the challenge is simply finding them all, since there’s very little indication of who has a quest to give and who doesn’t, and quest givers can be found in the most random and unexpected of places. Even after players manage to find all the quests, they still will need to put in quite a bit of legwork in order to complete them. Some particularly difficult quests involve gathering extremely rare ingredients, or facing off against enemies that can easily vanquish them if they’re unprepared, or fulfilling incredibly specific or rare conditions. Whatever the reason, players can easily leave a few quests behind in even their most thorough of playthroughs, so it’s worth doing a few sweeps of Hyrule before TOTK comes
Ocarina of Time was a flagship game for the Nintendo 64, and it was a game Nintendo purposely utilized to test how far the console could be pushed. While Ocarina of Time’s scrapped portal system couldn’t work in the Zelda franchise in the late ’90s — the portal work was completed around ’96 or ’97 per Giles Goddard, a developer who worked on a concept demo for Ocarina of Time – it might be able to now. The Switch can handle much more complicated coding and larger game sizes. The original Nintendo Switch handled Breath of the Wild , the franchise’s biggest game, with ease, and now there are even newer Switch models with better specs and capabilities. With each new console, cooler features like these scrapped portals become increasingly possi
The Gerudo are an (almost) all-female race. They are a desert people, warriors similar in many ways to the Aiel from the Wheel of Time . The Gerudo are known for beautiful craftsmanship and for thiev
Continuing with the Skyward Sword connections, part of this rumor stems from Calamity Ganon being defeated at the end of BOTW and TOTK needing a villain to take his place, a position which Demise could be likely to fill. The images in stone for the TOTK trailer show a woman hovering similar to Zelda when Ghirahim is trying to summon Demise, which means that they could be depicting another point in time when Demise was summoned. He may have been sealed away in Skyward Sword, but he was sealed in Zelda’s iconic Master Sword, which is broken in TOTK. Due to this, the seal may have broken as w
There’s also smaller side objectives such as Hestu’s quest for Koroks in BOTW , which don’t have markers to guide players and sometimes may not even have rewards for completing them. Some of these are rather extensive and can require a good bit of grinding to finish fully, and may not seem worth the trouble compared to other aspects. However, they’re still part of a 100% playthrough and are just as hard to complete – if not more so – than the quests. Players have to search through every nook and cranny of Hyrule for them, but thankfully they can be done as they’re completing other objectives so long as they keep a sharp eye
The Zora are a race of water-breathing people who bear heavy inspiration from aquatic creature — fishlike beings are some of the best NPCs in Legend of Zelda games . The Zora have created their own city called Zora’s Domain which in most iterations is located just above a body of water, rather than underne
At the end of the day, Ocarina of Time’s scrapped portals are simply something fun to think about. While they may not feature in Breath of the Wild 2 , it’s possible they could be unlocked with the power of the Switch at Nintendo’s disposal. Nintendo will likely bring many innovations to **The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s ** sequel, and may even revisit scrapped ideas like Ocarina of Time’s portals to find inspirat
Traditional Zelda dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom would address one of the criticisms of Breath of the Wild , where the puzzles being spread out and the presence of the Divine Beasts left some players missing the dungeons from previous Zelda games. Dungeons generally have Link complete them so that he obtains a reward at the end that helps him with his quest to save Hyrule, like awakening the Sages in Ocarina of Time and collecting their medallions. The image of seven tears in the TOTK trailer could imply that Link will be heading into more traditional Zelda dungeons to gather those te
So far it has been revealed that Link will traverse floating islands, exhibiting better vertical exploration in Tears of the Kingdom , and Ganon’s Malice appears to be spewing forth from beneath the ground. Nintendo has no doubt made many suitable changes to pre-existing locations impacted by these upheavals. Given that Breath of the Wild ’s dungeons were located inside the Divine Beasts, it’s even possible that previous areas will now house the dungeons for Tears of the Kingdom . For that reason, it’s worth noting which iconic locations should make a ret
This isn’t the only rumor that involves Skyward Sword , but the floating islands in Nintendo’s trailers for TOTK make it likely to be true. Skyward Sword is placed at the beginning of the Zelda timeline, its events happening before those of any other zelda breath of the wild switch 2 title. Since BOTW , and therefore TOTK , haven’t been given a place on the timeline, it’s uncertain what state Skyloft would be in if it appears in the g
