What’s New in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
Tears of the Kingdom has much more in store than its prequel, Breath of the Wild. More than enough, in fact, for it to be a refreshing experience. For starters, the sequel features floating islands as new areas of exploration coming in all shapes and sizes. These islands are bound to open up areas with loot or possible dungeons teeming with new enemies to engage with in the skies.
The excitement doesn’t end here. On the ground, players might come across bigger enemy camps, fortified bases, strongholds, and even eerie underground regions while exploring. You’ll also find yourself in a battle against formidable opponents like the Stone Talus mini-boss and even a three-headed Hydra.
Additionally, the fact that the Sheikah Towers and Shrines are nowhere to be found on Hyrule’s map suggests some kind of time skip. Such a story aspect makes room for more content to be added to the future version of Breath of the Wild’s map. Players will now find mysterious glowing green auras in place of the towers, which would most definitely be related to the floating islands.
Overall, Tears of the Kingdom is sure to provide an all-new breathtaking experience even after extending the same map as in the previous game. Players are sure to get hooked when they get to explore the new areas accessible in the same Hyrule world.
