While Calamity Ganon was a fantastic foe, Lynel Boss Fight a weakened humanoid Ganondorf would be a fun villain for Link to conquer again. It would also be interesting to see a Zelda game where Ganon exists but isn’t the main antagonist. Perhaps Ganondorf appears as the vestiges of Calamity Ganon, but the true antagonist is Demise or a new
Aside from the new age champions, Paya was one of the minor characters from Breath of the Wild that actually made it to the end. The young woman is Impa’s grandaughter and many thought of her after the exciting Tears of the Kingdom announceme
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
While Link and Zelda will obviously be making a return to the main cast, there are many other characters that fans would like to see. Thankfully, it isn’t uncommon for characters to make return appearances. With the odd timeline of Legend of Zelda games, it’s also possible to reuse old characters with new incarnations, leaving a wide variety of possibilities o
Not much is known about the Interloper War mentioned in Twilight Princess , but its placement on the official Zelda timeline may have some deeper implications for the series when combined with the lore about BOTW ’s two Calamities. Assuming that the Zonai truly are the ancestors of the Twili people sealed away to end the Interloper War, then it’s possible that this group was among the first to attempt to revive the Demon King after Demise was sealed away in Skyward Sword . While the vague legend about the Twili’s origins leaves plenty of room for interpretation, it’s possible that the Interloper War has since become known as the First Great Calam
One theory dives deeper into the possibilities of returning to Skyloft and what Link may find there, suggesting that it could have been used as a place of refuge for the Zonai. Between the ruins found in Breath of the Wild and the images in the trailer for Tears of the Kingdom , the Zonai and Hyrule seem to have had an unpleasant past. Since Link is shown in the trailer riding a flying device, this theory suggests that the Zonai were not wiped out, and they instead moved to the skies to inhabit Skyloft, giving Link more reasons to head to the skies in TO
Tingle has already made a reputation for appearing anywhere and everywhere, so a fun inclusion in Tears of the Kingdom would be perfect. Tingle’s role could just be as a humble merchant like in Majora’s Mask or as a pivotal side character like in Wind Waker . Either way, many fans will either laugh or groan over seeing Tingle ag
While Mipha is gone for good in the normal Breath of the Wild timeline, it’s proven by Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Ocarina of Time that timelines in the Zelda series are incredibly flexible. If any of the champions could come back in Tears of Calamity , Mipha would be the best choice. After all, she and Link deserve some sort of happy moment toget
When it comes to video game timelines, The Legend of Zelda _ has a notoriously complex lore, but it’s possible that _Breath of the Wild ‘s two Great Calamities revealed more about Hyrule’s long history than fans initially expected. BOTW ’s story and vague timeline placement vexed Zelda lore buffs when the game was released in 2017, introducing two separate Calamity events that took place 10,000 years apart. While this premise seemed to make BOTW ’s plot more obscure and complicated than it needed to be, it’s possible that the game’s upcoming sequel, Tears of the Kingdom , will shed some light on Hyrule’s history leading up to the latest installments in the ser
While Ravali, Urbosa, and Daruk are all beloved by the community as well, Mipha seemed to be the champion that resonated with most players. Part of a strange love triangle between Link and Zelda , the Zora princess was one of the kindest Zelda characters of all t
The machines created by Zelda ‘s Sheikah tribe were as powerful as the gods themselves, leading to a time of peace in Hyrule thanks to this advanced technology. However, the ancient Sheikah were later ordered to bury their inventions and forced into exile by the king of Hyrule at the time, who realized that his citizens feared their power and its potential to be used for evil. If Hyrule’s technology developed far enough to the point of being feared, this could also explain why the advanced machinery shown on the Surface of Skyward Sword ’s pre-Hylian world disappeared long before the story of any other Legend of Zelda game . As such, it’s not only possible for BOTW ’s First Great Calamity to take place shortly after Skyward Sword , but this placement could resolve several other questions regarding Zelda ’s lore that were raised in past ga
