![]() ![]() Is Tears of the Kingdom set in the same Hyrule? Nintendo hasn’t shown exactly what the arm does or how it works, but it does appear to have powers that will let players solve puzzles, manipulate the environment (and time itself), and use other special abilities, just like Breath of the Wild’s Sheikah Slate and Runes did. In Tears of the Kingdom trailers, Link has a powerful, glowing green arm - the one that looks burnt in the February trailer. Link has a number of new weapons in a series of axes, swords, shields, and bows seen in the trailers so far, used to fight both familiar and new enemies. Nintendo hasn’t shown much extended gameplay of combat or puzzles, but we have seen new and expanded ways to travel through Hyrule. The Master Sword is impacted too, corrupted and melted. Malice spreads, pushing Hyrule Castle into the sky, and even attacking Link - his arm appears to be rotting with malice, all burnt up. In a trailer released in February, we see what looks to be Ganon’s corpse, maybe in its Ganondorf form, awakening. It seems to be a game of balance, and we’ll see how the joy of exploration, so essential in Breath of the Wild, mixes with the brooding storyline. Trailers for the game show Link and Zelda in dark dungeons, with malice forcing its way into the world, but also show bright lightness as Link glides between airborne islands. Visually (and tonally), Tears of the Kingdom is much darker than Breath of the Wild - at least in parts. If anything, some of what Nintendo has shown feels like misdirection. Much of the story is intentionally vague, and trailers don’t reveal much. The same is true of Tears of the Kingdom, which Nintendo describes as an “epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule.” Players will “harness the power of Link’s new abilities to fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom,” Nintendo says. When it comes to Zelda games, Nintendo is not very forthcoming about the plot. ![]() What’s the story of Tears of the Kingdom? Tears of the Kingdom will only be released on Nintendo Switch.
