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

* [[Mundane Made Awesome]]: Part of the fun in messing with Zonai constructs is taking the elaborate weapons and amazing vehicles that you make, and using them for the most basic menial tasks imaginable. Sure, you ''could'' make a car to transport Koroks to their friends... ''or'' you could launch them to the distant campsite with a catapult. Likewise, why create basic Rock Hammers with rusted weapons when you can mine with style by fusing a rock to the ''Master Sword?'' Or hell, why use a weapon at all when you have {{spoiler|Mineru's robot body}} at your service?

* [[Multi-Mook Melee]]: {{spoiler|Before you take on Ganondorf, you (and potentially the Sages, if you've awakened them) have to cut your way through an army of monsters that he summons once you arrive at his doorstep. It's very similar to the army of Bokoblins you cut down before the final fight with Ghirahim in ''Skyward Sword'', except you've got a much more diverse array of enemies to fight, including the dungeon bosses if you haven't already defeated them beforehand.}}

** The 2021 trailer alone has two of these. The first shot of Link skydiving in the trailer is framed exactly like the skydiving cutscenes in [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]], complete with the circular clouds creating some sort of tunnel around Link. The trailer also shows Zelda falling in a dark void, much like how in ''Skyward Sword'' Zelda fell to the surface after being dragged by a black tornado summoned by Ghirahim.

** Flux Constructs are block-like Golems, calling to mind the Avalaunch from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, or Eox from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

** The Gloom Spawn seem to be at least partially inspidered by Dead Hand from Ocarina of Time, posibly with the Wallmasters thrown in.

** Once again, Link is made to go into the Great Deku Tree and expel an evil that was placed there by Ganondorf, just as the Hero of Time had to do at the outset of his adventure. For added Mythology Gag points, Link has to defeat a by facing a Gloom Spawn and Phantom Ganon, much like the creepy foes he had to deal with in the Forest Temple on first arriving as an adult.

** Pretty much every game in the franchise has an armor set and/or weapon in this game that references it. You have the [[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Set]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Dark Set, Evil Spirit Set]], [[Majora's Mask|Fierce Deity Set]] (with matching Sword), [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Zant's Helmet, Midna's Helmet]], [[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|Hero Set]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Hero of Awakening Set]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Hero of the Sky Set]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Hero of Time Set]], and [[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Hero of the Wilds Set]]. Weapons you can gain include the [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Sea Breeze Boomerang]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Dusk Claymore]], Biggoron's Sword (reference to many games), [[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|Sword of the Hero]], and the [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|White Sword of the Sky]]. You can even win [[Majora's Mask]] itself in one of the arenas!
