Known from her appearance in The Wind Waker , Legend of Zelda ‘s Medli could make an excellent protagonist in her own right. The Rito may have changed in each Zelda game they appear in, but the race has been a key part the world they inhabit in each one, particularly Medli and her musical powers. Medli showed in Hyrule Warriors she’s a strong fighter in her own right, using her Rito Harp to launch wind at enemies in interesting ways. This intriguing character could have a whole game delving into the world of the Rito more, using her harp as a weapon against enemies, and her flight ability could lead to unique new in-game puzzles and navigat
If Skulltulas were to come to TOTK , they hopefully wouldn’t ambush Link as they do in other games. Having a spider with a skull on its back jump out from the shadows is terrifying, and may leave players regretting their decision to explore BOTW 2 ‘s cave areas. A good way to make Skulltulas more bearable could be for TOTK to take away their protective shell and have them act like Keese in that they can hide but reveal themselves before attacking – though hopefully they wouldn’t also swarm like Keese can – and that they’d both be one-hit enemies that pose little threat. Given the floating islands, it’s even possible that they would ride on Keese or be carried by them if they took this f
As far as what type of culture the Zonai had, it seems that they valued power and enjoyed war. The item description of the Barbarian Helm mentions ” an ancient warlike tribe from the Faron Region ,” and this can be assumed to refer to the Zonai as the majority of their ruins are found in Faron. It’s possible that their warlike nature led to the Zonai becoming a lost tribe in Breath of the Wild , but since none of the tribe remain, players have to look at the ruins to find clues about why this tribe vanis
Dinolfos are lizard-like enemies similar to Lizalfos, but much larger and stronger and with spikes across their bodies. They wield weapons such as axes and swords, and some iterations have metallic armor. Unlike Lizalfos, they typically Lynel boss fight Link alone rather than in groups. Some varieties breathe fire, and others have protective arm guards to block Link’s atta
The Tears of the Kingdom trailer doesn’t show much, but there is another two-headed dragon symbol. This one is different from the Ouroboros and is related to Mesoamerican cultures, which could have offered some inspiration to the design of the Zonai ruins in Breath of the Wild . Link pushes open a stone door that has a dragon with two heads meeting at the top instead of two dragons eating each other’s tails. The two-headed dragon symbolizes two things in Mesoamerican culture; first is the power of the earth, but the second is calamit
One of the more recognizable symbols is found in the title image for Tears of the Kingdom : the Ouroboros. With the Legend of Zelda timeline having both Great Calamities and periods of rebuilding, the Ouroboros becomes an appropriate symbol overall. However, the Ouroboros in Tears of the Kingdom is in the specific design of the Zonai dragon ruins. Since the Ouroboros symbolizes death and rebirth, it could imply that the Zonai tribe is not completely gone or that there is a faction of the tribe that has created a hidden h
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
King Bulblin is a minor antagonist in Twilight Princess . He’s the one who first kidnaps the children from Kakariko Village and indirectly sets up the rest of the plot. Link battles him many times throughout the game, both on horseback – with King Bulblin riding Lord Bullbo – and on foot. He’s a loyal servant of Zant, and his Bulblin minions frequently act as minor enemies on Link’s quest. Although he may seem evil, during his last encounter with Link and Midna, he gives them a Small Key and joins their side, stating that he was simply following whoever was strongest as it’s all he’s ever kn
In Zelda: 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
