These large towers are definitely different from those seen in the previous game, with unique architecture and glowing spotlights surrounding them, but some shots of the structures show that they also feature a similar orange glow resonating from within. Only time will tell if these newer towers serve the same purpose as the ones in Breath of the W

While that's intriguing in and of itself, you can actually spot a chunk of this debris that seems to be plummeting to the ground near the end of this gameplay trailer, leaving a trail of green energy behind it. We know that parts of these islands have fallen before, but could they be actively breaking apart even as you play the game? We'll have to get our hands on Tears of the Kingdom when it releases to find

Although the difficulty is subjective and everyone finds different things challenging, many fans were able to relate to the second phase being more like an interactive cut-scene than an actual fight if the player knows how to avoid getting hit. If Tears of the Kingdom is to reward experienced players of Breath of the Wild with more challenging bosses and shrines, then a final boss fight that is more consistently challenging would be a good st

The addition of new tools in TOTK clearly has the potential to provide many quality-of-life improvements to the game when compared to BOTW . 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. By making such items a permanent addition to Link’s toolkit, Tears of the Kingdom ** can solve several problems with its predecessor’s gameplay experie

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , launching in May, is already a front-runner for Game of the Year 2023, while Skyrim -in-space, Starfield , should also be landing on storefronts before the year is out. Street Fighter 6 , Hogwarts Legacy , and - of course - Marvel's Spider-Man 2 , are also set to make this year extra special as some of the most highly-anticipated games of 2023 . As well as AAA releases, the indie scene is also set for an exciting year, with titles like Broken Roads and Cassette Beasts already making waves. There's even the potential for new consoles this year, with rumors of a nintendo switch game discounts Switch Pro and a newer model of PS5 as rife as e

2023 is shaping up to be yet another great year for gaming, with lots of highly-anticipated releases finally making their debut. There's already a slew of both AAA and indie games set to launch this year, with plenty more surprise announcements likely to be revealed as the months go by. While **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ** is already primed to take 2023 by storm, we can also expect to hear more on upcoming titles we know little about, like IO Interactive's mysterious James Bond g

Using Fuse in TOTK on a Fortified Pumpkin and an arrow could create a type of utility arrow to stun or blind enemies. A Pumpkin Arrow could bind a Fortified Pumpkin onto the head of the enemy it hits. Even if the Pumpkin Arrow didn't do damage when it hits an enemy, the utility of blinding an enemy for a set period of time could be a lifesaver for players in situations such as being outnumbe

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom seems likely to follow a similarly open-ended format to the one that made Breath of the Wild the Zelda series' most successful title but there's one thing about the formula it could change for the better. Redditor GoldenTirade certainly thinks so, commenting that they want to see "a postgame/epilogue aside from the main story" in the seq

Spirits have always played a big role in the lore of the Zelda series, and in Breath of the Wild, similar floating orbs of energy can be seen hovering around the various deceased characters you meet, such as King Rhoam. Since nothing interacts with these particular spirits, it's hard to say what their purpose in this game may

Another item in Breath of the Wild that should become a proper tool is the Torch. Used to light Link’s way and set fires, it is even weaker as a weapon than the Woodcutter’s Axe. In practical terms, it is simply a utility item, and one with limited durability at that. Changing this would not only free up an inventory space, but also ensure that Link never needs to go searching for a light source with a proper tool on hand in the BOTW sequel . Of course, it is possible that the Torch could still run on a limited resource; perhaps it could use oil, similar to Twilight Princess ’ Lant

While this enemy appears to be something new created for Tears of the Kingdom, the designs and patterns on the boxes that make up its body seem very similar to the Zonai architecture found throughout Hyrule. The Zonai are a mysterious and ancient race , and the implication that they may have some connection to these floating islands is interesting, to say the le
