'''''The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom'''''' is the 20th main entry in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise, the 7th fully 3D installment, and the direct sequel to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''. It was released on [[Nintendo Switch]] on May 12, 2023, after being pushed back two years due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Several years ago (in ''Breath of the Wild''), Zelda’s loyal guardian and retainer Link woke from a hundred-year slumber, having healed from Calamity Ganon’s onslaught a century ago. Finding Hyrule in shambles with Zelda locked in a continual battle with the villain, he sought to find and release the souls of his old allies while fighting Ganon’s dark minions in the ravaged land of Hyrule, before finally confronting and slaying the beast in an epic battle.
Line 16:
With only this, the near-useless Master Sword and what remains of the clothes on his back, Link must learn the secrets of the Zonai, rebuild his arsenal, and face Ganondof’s dark minions in order to put a stop to Ganondorf's millennia-old ambitions once more. But above all, he must find Zelda!
Like the previous game, ''Tears of the Kingdom'' is a survival-

== A ==
* [[100% Adoration Rating]]: You won't find many Hylian citizens with a bad word to say about Zelda. It does seem she has been very active during the [[Time Skip]], volunteering her time and spending an impressive amount of funds and resources into the building that rule. Fortunately, it's also leads to a great deal of [[Undying Loyalty]] among the citizenry, never questioning her orders (and often misinterpreting them) and easily falling for {{spoiler|the lies of the imposter Zeldas.}}
* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: {{spoiler|If Link has not regained the Master Sword by the time of the final battle: don't worry, because Dragon Zelda shows up in the nick of time to let you pull the sword. This time, there is no minimum Stamina required, he is simply given it. Justified, as Zelda has always had it with her and she’s not going to waste time with strength trials in order to give Link the one sword he needs to win.}} ▼
* [[Actionized Sequel]]: This is likely the most combat-oriented Zelda game to date, making this an [[Action Adventure]] game with some RPG elements. It tends to throw far more enemies at you than before and even with maximum Hearts and the strongest armor, some attacks hit pretty hard. Regular old hack and slash isn’t always effective in dealing with foes. Plus, Link recruits allies to fight alongside him!
* [[Admiring the Abomination]]:
Line 362 ⟶ 359:
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The terrifying Malice hands that will seek you out and try to kill you when you visit certain areas. {{spoiler|Their true form, Phantom Ganon, is more of a [[Humanoid Abomination.]]}}
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Like in Breath of the Wild, enemies with a fire element are weak to a weapon with an ice element and vice-versa. This is pretty much required for fighting Gleeoks, as one hit from an arrow of the opposite element will instantly disable that head.
▲* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: {{spoiler|If Link has not regained the Master Sword by the time of the final battle: don't worry, because Dragon Zelda shows up in the nick of time to let you pull the sword. This time, there is no minimum Stamina required, he is simply given it. Justified, as Zelda has always had it with her and she’s not going to waste time with strength trials in order to give Link the one sword he needs to win.}}
* [[Escort Mission]]: Several sidequests, most notably the quests to unlock the Great Fairies, will have Link having to use a horse to pull a cart with Hylian NPCs in order to get them to their destination. The Stable Trotters sidequests mainly involve their troupe's horse cart (which they seem unable to keep from wrecking), where Link has to fix it, hitch it to horse and/or modify it with Zonai Devices. Unfortunately, the Trotters tend to get motion sick very easily…
** Some Koroks can be found wearing huge backpacks that make them exhausted and unable to move on their own. Each of them is trying to reach another Korok a fair distance away from where they're found and often in dangerous territory. Seeing as there is no way to kill or otherwise harm the little guys, and you can stick them to your vehicle with Ultrahand to make it much easier to bring them to the other Korak’s camp; doing so earns Link two Korak seeds. (Fuse does not work on them, however, so you cannot simply Fuse them to your shield to carry them that way.) Unfortunately, this imperviousness has also resulted in quite a lot of [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]…
