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

No edit summary
Line 595:
* [[A Taste of Power]]: You start the game with maxed-out stats and the full-powered Master Sword. [[Bag of Spilling|And then along came Ganondorf and his Malice...]]
* [[Tennis Boss]]: {{spoiler|Not present with Phantom Ganon, surprisingly, but Ganondorf's Malice blasts can be launched back at him during the final battle.}}
** There are also many bosses and Elite Mooks (such as Boss Bokoblins and Stone Talos) who throw things at Link, and Recall can be used to send them back at them.
* [[That Battle Didn’t Count]]: When Link and Rija unlock the altar that makes the Lightning Temple appear and approach the front gates, they are confronted by Queen Gibdo, the boss of the Temple - seems that unlike most bosses, she isn’t content to sit in her lair and wait for them. However, after reducing her to half her life bar, she decides to retreat back to her lair where, much like the others, you have to face her after solving the Temple’s puzzles.
* [[Theme Song Reveal]]: The new version of Zelda's Lullaby heard not just in the title theme, but in trailers several years before the game's release hint {{spoiler|at [[The Reveal]] that Zelda's been turned into a dragon thanks to it being played with the same instrumentation as the Spirit Dragons' theme.}}
* [[Time Skip]]: A decent amount of time has passed between this and the preceding title, and closer inspection of the land of Hyrule and its inhabitants reveals it to be quite a substantial one. While some elements are more obvious than others (Tulin growing from a toddler to an early adolescent and Riju showing a more mature personality), the big one is in that Hudson and Rhondson, who were newly-married at the end of Breath of the Wild, here are shown to have a daughter, Mattison, who is now grade school age. This puts the time skip anywhere from five to six years, lining fairly closely with the time passed in the real world between games.
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Big Batteries are, as the name implies, extra-large version of regular batteries, objectively better than the Battery in every way. Unfortunately, they are very rare. As far as is known, there is no Zonai dispenser that dispenses them, meaning Link can only get them by giving the Construct Smith 30 Crystalized Zonai or from overworld chests, making it very hard to consider using them. But then, he barely needs to, as most of the time, two or three regular Batteries work just as well.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Tulin, Yunobo, and Riju were non-combatants in ''Breath of the Wild'' (though the latter two ''did'' help Link board the Divine Beasts in their regions) and unlike Sidon, didn't have anything hinting at off-screen combat prowess. Here they take to the battlefield and actively help Link fight monsters.
