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

* [[Anachronic Order]]: More than likely, the player will uncover the Dragon Tear Memories in the wrong order, making the flashback stories incomprehensible until they can all be viewed as a whole. In fact, it is possible the player can discover exactly what happened to Zelda long before the plotline that involves tracking her down is resolved. Of course, Link will never relate this information to inquiring NPCs until the plotline is resolved, suggesting that he is learning them in the correct order even if the player is not.

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: {{Spoiler|The final stage of the final battle with Ganondorf, where he turns himself into the Demon Dragon, is a cinematic masterpiece, and clearly a better fight than the last boss of the previous game. Still, as far as gameplay goes, it’s lackluster. Link rides into battle on the Dragon of Light’s back, paraglides onto the back of the Demon Dragon, and attacks the patches of Malice (not Gloom) on its back. Link cannot die by falling in this battle (every time Ganondorf shakes him off, Zelda is certain to catch him) and he doesn’t have much offensive powers at all. While it does put an extra spin on the skydiving ability and is a fun battle overall, it isn’t much of a challenge}}.

* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]:

** Literally every Misko quest rewards you with a piece of armor, and in some cases a matching weapon, such as the Fierce Deity Sword.

** Regional example. Sometime during the Time Skip, Death Mountain erupted, requiring Goron City to be evacuated and later rebuilt. This has, in fact, been of a benefit to them and Hyrule at large, as the City’s location no longer requires visitors to wear heat proof armor to survive.

** Also, I rule seems to be reacting to the most recent crisis far better than they did during the calamity. While Zelda being missing is a grave concern, the Hyrulian volunteer army is making a conscious effort to locate her and root out Ganondorf's minions. These efforts are a constant reminder to link that this time you are not alone.

* [[Art Evolution]]:

** Many returning monsters have more horns on their heads than before (or have them now if they didn’t before); this is not simply cosmetic, as the horns are included with drops and can be used to make Link’s weapons stronger.
