The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Difference between revisions

Line 584:
** Sonia falls victim to this ploy; as shown in one of the flashbacks, Phantom Ganon disguises himself as Zelda in order to get close to Sonia with a knife, but both Sonia and the real Zelda are wise to him and foil the attempt. But that was only a distraction for the real Ganondorf to attack.
** Some time later, the same technique [[Beat Them At Their Own Game| is used against him.]] The Sages all hurl their weapons at him, he dodges, and Zelda uses Recall to send them back towards him. But she has used this trick before, so he effortlessly dodges again… and realizes too late this was a distraction for Rauru to strike and use his magic to seal him.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]:
** The Gloom Sword resembles the typical katana, and it is incredibly powerful, boasting a base power of 41 without any other item fused to them, when other weapons have a limit of 30 or so (and those are usually two-handed, a Gloom Sword being a one-handed sword). However, it also inflicts Gloom damage over time to the wielder.
** Link can build one himself by fusing a Blue Lizalfos horn to a one-handed weapon, and such a fuse increases the power by +16. Silver Lionel Horns are among the strongest Fuse materials in the game, creating a Katana blade with a whopping +55 attack power.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Rauru, Sonia, and Mineru don't survive the events of the game. While there was no way they ''would'' thanks to them hailing from Hyrule's distant past, they each had their life cut short by Ganondorf. Ganondorf, likewise, seems to have been definitively killed off... or at least, ''this'' version of the character.}}
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Dragon head-shaped flamethrowers are among the Zonai devices you can create. Early on you're nudged into combining one with a shield in a cave that's home to a Like-Like, and the result is a ''fire-breathing shield''!
* [[Kill It with Water]]: The same, likewise, can be accomplished with Hydrants attached to constructs and weapons. The Zora's Domain scenario, in fact, revolves around washing away toxic grime and fighting sludge-spewing monsters. It almost feels like you're playing a ''Zelda''-flavored version of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
** Like in Breath of the Wild, most enemies except Lizalfos drown if they enter deep water, making this an easy (and sadistically humorous) way to deal with them. It even works on Gloom Spawn.
* [[King Mook]]: There's three among the enemies, overworld bosses, ''and'' temple bosses respectively.
** For the enemies, there are the Boss Bokoblins. Bigger, fatter, stronger, and meaner than your bog-standard Bokoblins, they lead several of their weaker brethren into battle and coordinate group attacks by blowing on special horns.
Line 592 ⟶ 596:
** And finally, there's the boss of the Gerudo Desert scenario: Queen Gibdo. She's the [[Hive Queen]] of the new buglike Gibdos, and she'll unleash hordes of them on you during her boss fight.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Ganondorf. While ''Tears of the Kingdom'' is generally more lighthearted than ''Breath of the Wild'', Ganondorf is a cruel, bloodthirsty monster who's treated less like a man, and more like a horrific ancient evil. When he shows up, things never fail to take a turn for the worst.
* [[Knockback]]: Link can grant this property to a Shield by fusing it with a Zonai Springboard, Zonai Bomb, or explosive barrel. Mushrooms can do the same to weapons.
