Zelda Characters Who Could Make A Better Protagonist Than Link

Link has always collected items to use over the course of his adventures in the Legend of Zelda games. Most of the time, their primary use is to help him solve puzzles and complete tasks that he couldn't before. In fact, many of the series' dungeons revolve around items that the player finds inside of or immediately before them. With Tears of the Kingdom possibly conforming dungeons , it seems likely that old tradition could make a return as well. With the addition of some classic items aside from the old standbys, it could make Tears of the Kingdom an exhilarating experie

Purah was certainly wise beyond her perceived years in BOTW . This is, of course, because she was not actually a child but rather 124 years old. However, Purah and Impa could change BOTW 2 through Purah's researched anti-aging abilities. Despite her being a child in BOTW , she is actually Impa's older sister and a scientist - director of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab where she studies Sheikah technology. Her aging experiments did not become a major focus in BOTW , but should Nintendo Switch 2 Amiibo choose to, her research could yet be an important plot point in Tears of the Kingd

The other part of the rumor comes from both the images of Link with a broken Master Sword and the mention in Breath of the Wild that Fi's spirit is dormant within it. Even if Demise doesn't make an appearance in Tears of the Kingdom , it seems likely that Fi will. She's referenced multiple times in BOTW , with her signature sound effect even playing, and she did hope to meet one of Link's future incarnations. But as one of the safeguards against Demise, it seems more likely that they would both appear in TOTK instead of only one or the other being inclu

By making further use of the Spinner's unique mechanics, it could become an incredibly useful tool for Link in a new adventure.It could ride on surfaces that neither Link nor Epona would be able to cross normally while letting him fight at the same time. The Spinner could also be adapted into one of the Sheikah Slate's new features if it returns in Tears of the Kingdom , strengthening the argument for bringing it back. Twilight Princess is a Zelda game worth replaying before TOTK , and the Spinner was one of its more interesting new id

This isn't the only rumor that involves Skyward Sword , but the floating islands in Nintendo's trailers for TOTK make it likely to be true. Skyward Sword is placed at the beginning of the Zelda timeline, its events happening before those of any other Zelda title. Since BOTW , and therefore TOTK , haven't been given a place on the timeline, it's uncertain what state Skyloft would be in if it appears in the g

The long-running **Legend of Zelda ** series has seen many entries, but never another protagonist besides Link. While there have been brief instances within games where players have had the chance to play as another character, Link has always been an integral part of each title. In the many stories told by the games over time, however, several other characters have been introduced who could serve as worthy video game protagonists besides Link thanks to their interesting narrative potential and new manners of combat when that could switch things up for the bet

Traditional Zelda dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom would address one of the criticisms of Breath of the Wild , where the puzzles being spread out and the presence of the Divine Beasts left some players missing the dungeons from previous Zelda games. Dungeons generally have Link complete them so that he obtains a reward at the end that helps him with his quest to save Hyrule, like awakening the Sages in Ocarina of Time and collecting their medallions. The image of seven tears in the TOTK trailer could imply that Link will be heading into more traditional Zelda dungeons to gather those te

The ball and chain is one of the most interesting weapons that Link has been able to wield in the past, and it's a shame that it didn't resurface in another adventure after Twilight Princess . It did see relevance again as one of Link's alternate weapons in Hyrule Warriors , where it granted him an impressive moveset.
