On the other hand, Revali was aloof and arrogant, seeing himself as far better suited for the role of Hero.

Completing Sheikah Shrines grants him Spirit Orbs, which improve his health and stamina. Finishing every shrine earns him a version of the classic green Hero’s Clothes. Deep within the Lost Woods, he discovers the Master Sword in its ancient pedestal. Once he is strong enough, the spirit of the sword allows him to draw it once more. Link also meets the Sheikah technology experts Robbie and Purah, discovering forest spirits called Koroks hiding across Hyrule, who offer Korok Seeds when found.

Directed by the voice to claim the Shiekah Slate resting on a nearby pedestal, he emerges from an underground chamber to find himself on a plateau overlooking a beautiful but desolate Hyrule. He soon encounters a strange old man who offers to trade his paraglider for the spirit orbs held within four nearby Sheikah Shrines, which also unlock various features of the Sheikah Slate.

Each Divine Beast is plagued by a Blight, a manifestation of Calamity Ganon specialized in tactics that allowed them to defeat their opposing Champion. By defeating these Blights, the spirits of the Champions are able to reassert control of their Divine Beasts, subsequently readying them to fire upon Calamity Ganon in the upcoming battle.

From the footage, Link is shown fusing a rock onto the end of a basic stick to create a makeshift hammer, and a pitchfork with a long stick to create a comically over-sized spear. Importantly for BOTW's controversial weapon durability , fusing the weapons seemingly resets their durability and, at least in the case of the stick/rock fusion, greatly extends it, while also increasing the weapon's damage. Fusing weapons with materials, objects, or even other weapons can seemingly lead to specialized equipment, like the greatly extended range of the combined pitchf<br><br> <br>With less than a month before the release of Tears of the Kingdom , more news on the game's story and characters is a welcome hype booster, especially with much of its pre-release promotional cycle having been especially secretive and vague.

It would make sense given the generational history of Link as The Hero of Time, and how who he is has been passed down from person to person for millennia.

Meanwhile, the Bug Net is a familiar Zelda tool that nevertheless failed to make it into BOTW . Infamously a Zelda item capable of reflecting magic , its intended use is naturally to help Link capture small creatures, typically insects, for a variety of purposes.

In some cases, there are tools that could greatly improve resource collection methods from BOTW should they be implemented. In others, Breath of the Wild ** ’s ubiquitous durability system means that what could be useful tools are instead weak weapons that come with limited uses in the open-world game.

This idea could play into the Tears of the Kingdom trailer from the most recent Nintendo Direct. Ganon's minions are raging, and his influence is still strong across the land despite his defeat. That combined with the TOTK leak potentially hinting at time-travel could see the flood, and therefore the Wind Waker timeline as a future that Link must avoid.

Most notably, the first title in the series featured a boss named Gleeok, a similar three-headed dragon that is only defeated by the removal of its many heads.

It follows Fenyx, a Delian squire who sets out to end the giant Typhon's reign of terror. Fenyx does this by rescuing a series of gods Typhon has rendered powerless, defeating their corrupted forms and returning them to their former glory.

Of course, this is a major step up from his BOTW appearance, where many players are likely to not even have encountered him or the archery-based minigame that he provides.
