The most obvious recurring location in Tears of the Kingdom exploration of the Kingdom is Hyrule Castle itself. Hyrule Castle has been prominently featured in trailers for the sequel, floating above Hyrule Field. In many Zelda games including Breath of the Wild , a corrupted Hyrule Castle has served as the final dungeon. This floating fortress of Malice looks set to be Tears of the Kingdom ’s own final dungeon, with Link and Zelda perhaps storming the castle after breaking a seal similar to Ocarina of Time . It remains to be seen, however, if Hyrule Castle Town has been rebuilt since the events of the previous game, now living in the floating castle’s sha
In Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , there are many annoying enemies that shouldn’t return in its sequel, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom _ . Some foes such as Bokoblins and Moblins have already been revealed in past trailers, but certain others have been thankfully absent so far. _TOTK is set to release on May 12 of next year, leaving plenty of time for more trailers that may reveal how many of BOTW ‘s obnoxious enemies are in its open world when it comes
This unearthing mechanic could also answer some of the mysteries left unsolved in Breath of the Wild , the most obvious being again in the Gerudo Desert, south of Spectacle Rock. Here, there are Seven Heroine statues and a Sheikah Shrine quest. But in the lore of Breath of the Wild , these statues represent the Seven Sages. And, more curiously, an eighth statue can be found on the far side of the wasteland, suggesting that one member was shunned by the others. If this site were unearthed in Tears of the Kingdom , the answers may also surface, exposing the history of this iteration of Hyr
Treasure Octoroks may be BOTW ‘s most annoying enemy, and for good reason. If players aren’t careful when approaching a buried chest, then they might end up fighting an enemy instead of getting treasure. This is irksome enough by itself, but the initial attack by the Octorok also sends them flying backwards, which is severely annoying and can even spell doom if they’re near a high ledge, leaving BOTW players regretting their decision to not do a quick check with the Magnesis rune. In addition, the Treasure Octorok is very fast and hard to hit, making it not a challenging foe but certainly a difficult and obnoxious one. They might not be as bad if they were at least good way to farm Rupees, but the amount they drop is negligible and not worth the effort of seeking them out repeate
There are many enemies from Zelda ‘s past that could come to TOTK . Some of them could fit in very well and should make an appearance, while others might be better off excluded. Tears of the Kingdom ‘s darker themes compared to Breath of the Wild might be a sign that the creepier and macabre enemies of Zelda will come. The floating islands also could mean that more flying enemies will come to BOTW , both new ones and those from past games. It’s even possible that recurring enemies will come that are completely unexpected. In addition, any returning enemies may have some significant changes, and could be completely unrecognizable from their previous versi
While Princess Zelda finally managed to awaken her power and keep Hyrule safe until the Hero reawakened in BOTW , Tears of the Kingdom ’s trailers have thus far suggested that Zelda’s story is far from over. The latest trailer in particular shows two hieroglyphic images that appear to be Zelda, the second of which depicts her mirrored with a hidden figure. If Tears of the Kingdom truly is shifting its focus to Zelda’s story, then its title may indicate a reawakening of her power as the Goddess Hylia hers
Pebblits are smaller versions of one of BOTW ‘s miniboss monsters, the Talus. Pebblits come in a few different varieties depending on where they’re located; Igneo Pebblits can be found in volcanic regions such as Eldin, Frost Pebblits reside in snowy areas such as the Hebra Mountains, and Stone Pebblits are found throughout Hyrule. Each one will drop one piece of ore when defeated, with each variety providing different kinds. Although it might seem like defeating BOTW ‘s Pebblits is hard work given only a few select weapons can do any damage to them, players can kill them very easily by simply picking them up and throwing them, or by using a Remote Bomb or Bomb Ar
The final towns that Tears of the Kingdom should revisit are Hateno Village and Tarrey Town. Both of these locations were developed by Link in Breath of the Wild . In Hateno Village, Link purchases his own house and can decorate it. It will be interesting to see if he’s since sold this house or if, possibly, he now lives there with Zelda. Tarrey Town went one step further: Link entirely created Tarrey Town by assisting Bolson with his construction efforts. With so many residents moving in, the town may have outgrown the small spit of land upon which it was built to become a major c
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
