Zelda Characters Who Could Make A Better Protagonist Than Link
The latest ability to be revealed for Tears of the Kingdom is a mechanical, bird-like glider. This was shown for only a few seconds in the latest trailer, where Link landed on it from a skydive and gently glided over Hyrule. Unlike the other powers revealed so far, there's no evidence that this is connected to Link's new arm. It also doesn't look like it's of Sheikah make, as it's quite different from their other automatons such as the Guardians and Divine Bea
Another form of Princess Zelda, Sheik is a persona taken on by her during Ocarina of Time that could completely hold their own in a separate game. In fact, an allegedly canceled Sheik Legend of Zelda spin-off would have done just that, but fans will never see the completed title. Sheik only appears for short moments in Ocarina of Time that leave many fans wanting more, particularly considering the character's combative prowess and overall powerful nature, which are shown off more in Hyrule Warriors and the Super Smash Bros . ser
The eponymous Twilight Princess from the game of the same name would make an excellent star of a title all her own. Whether she would be in her true form or the much tinier appearance she has in most of Twilight Princess , Midna is both a powerful and entertaining character that would make for an incredibly enjoyable game experience. Midna is one of Link's best companions in Legend of Zelda 's long-running history, and has a combination of unique magic and interesting backstory that make her a perfect potential protagonist. Her fighting prowess was really showcased in Hyrule Warriors, with her control of Shadows making for engaging combat, and she could give more insight into Twili l
One possibility for Tears of the Kingdom 's meaning is that Zelda, the princess of Hyrule Armor Upgrade, will die. After the events of the first game, Zelda presumably is hard at work rebuilding BOTW 's ruin of Hyrule, helping the people who inhabit it as she wished to in the game's final cutscene. As such, it stands to reason that she would be beloved throughout the land. Tears of the Kingdom could refer to Hyrule mourning her after her death. Since Zelda falls into a crevice in the E3 2021 trailer and has not appeared in any footage outside the cave where she and Link find the withered mummy, this is a terrifyingly real possibil
If the ReDead were to appear in Tears of the Kingdom , they could be quite different from how they are in most games. They might take the form of skeletons instead of zombies, and either join the ranks of BOTW 's Stal or completely replace them. Malice animating the skeletons of dead Hylians and turning them against Link during the night sounds like a good story for them, and makes sense with the large amounts of Malice infecting Hyrule as shown in the trailers available so far. Their paralyzing ability could be more obnoxious than it was in past games, however, especially if they're alongside BOTW 's other powerful enemies and bosses , given the game's ragdoll physics and the various elemental effects enemies can
This ability to phase through solid matter looks like it will be very useful in Link's adventure through Hyrule. Though it doesn't seem like it will have many applications in combat, it could have a great many in traversal and puzzle solving, and can help improve BOTW 's exploration in the sequel . Link's new arm glows green while he uses this, so it would appear that this will be one of its features instead of something he has to pick up in the world like a weapon, though it may still have its limitations. Players may only be able to use it in the floating islands, for example, or only to travel vertically and not horizontally through walls. A new detail in Nintendo 's latest TOTK trailer, also hosted on YouTube, may also have shown another limitation; Link carries capsules on his waist that are lit up the same color as the green that accompanies this ability, so it's possible that they're a consumable power source that he will need in order to use
Another of Link's new abilities in Tears of the Kingdom is something that will allow him to return objects to a previous position. This power also comes from Link's new arm in the BOTW sequel , and has been shown twice so far. The first time was in the E3 2021 trailer, where Link used it to send a spiked ball back at some enemies, and the second was in the latest Tears of the Kingdom trailer, where he used it to ride a large rock up through the air. Both times, the world turned black-and-white, but everything continued to move around the affected object. This ability looks very similar to BOTW 's Stasis and serves a similar function, and it's possible that it's a new or advanced form of
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
