We waited all the Nintendo Direct for information on Breath of the Wild 2, and proper on the very finish, we obtained information about The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom.
That’s proper of us, In May 2023, a whopping 6 years after Breath of the Wild dropped, Link is returning to us in a model new journey.
And it appears completely epic!
Here are our first impressions from what we’ve seen up to now and predictions for the longer term, together with some footage for anybody who hasn’t seen the video itself.
All The News On The Breath Of The Wild Sequel ‘Tears Of The Kingdom’
Hieroglyphic-style markings of Moblins and Bokoblins, a brand new owl god statue that might have reference to Kaepora Gaebora or his ancestors, and symbols that look very very similar to the sacred stones.
So a lot Zelda goodness occurred within the first few seconds of the brand new Tears of the Kingdom trailer, and it’s solely going to get higher from right here on out.
I do know lots of people have been pondering that the brand new Zelda title would include an improve to the Nintendo Switch, however the graphics on BOTW are nonetheless completely phenomenal, and the sequel appears much more spectacular.
Opening the door to a brand new world that appears to span via the sky, there are particular throwbacks to Skyward Sword on this new Zelda. Still donning his Champion’s Tunic and with a fairly basic-looking Sheikh image protect, he dives down via the air, giving us a brand new take a look at what we are able to count on from Tears of the Kingdom.
The very first thing I observed is that there’s much more vertical house between areas. Hyrule in BOTW was huge with a lot of working concerned, whereas the sequel appears to occupy rather more vertical house, with climbing and hovering up via the air enjoying massive roles within the gameplay.
New Abiliites
We’ve already seen a clip of Link flying up via the air in a raindrop to suit via a small crack within the rock, which has since prompted me to surprise what new Sheikh Slate skills we’d discover. The new trailer exhibits Link on an enormous rock flying via the air on what appears like a Stasis path too.
Could this be some form of steerage system? I assume we’ve received until May 2023 to search out out…
I do know you’re disenchanted by that date, however simply try the image arising and all that unhappiness will disappear.
Yes, Link is someway flying on the again of a mechanical Eagle.
Is this a brand new Divine Beast, just a little just like the Master Cycle from the Champions Ballad DLC? It appears as if there’s a journey gate on the again of it, so maybe that is to interchange the Loftwnings from Skyloft?
I suppose with a lot floor and air to cowl, there’s no probabilities you may get round on a horse!
Just take a look at the map too… it’s actually taken me 5 minutes to cease staring on the surroundings on this pic and write my final paragraph.
I’m uncertain whether or not that is the outdated Hyrule from the earlier recreation or new territory. But with new ranges within the sky to find and an entire heap of latest skills for us to discover, I’ll be enjoying this recreation 6 years after it releases and nonetheless be loving each second.
