![]() What does it mean? Well, if we wanted to get really silly about this, we could say that it represents the evolution of the technology or the world in some way, or even the repeating circle of time. (Hey, fun fact: blue -> teal and orange -> pink is basically just a couple of rotations on the colour wheel. But TOTK is very yellow, with hints of teal and pink (maybe representing good and evil). Colour Scheme Image: Nintendoīreath of the Wild was very blue and green - like the sky and the grass - with touches of blue and orange to represent Sheikah technology. This circle-snake theming comes back later in the logo, too. Might be dragons, too, although BOTW had three dragons, representing the three goddesses of the Triforce. What's worth noting here is the insignia upon the doors - is it snakes? It kinda looks like two chickens with really long necks. Well! Time for another one of those moments, except with big doors. This might place Tears of the Kingdom in the Skyward Sword era, since the Hylian Crest (with the Triforce) doesn't appear in the timeline until Ocarina of Time (after Minish Cap and Four Swords).Įveryone loved the moment when you get out of the cave in BOTW and then the sun is all bright and it's very cool. The Goddess Crest represents the goddess Hylia, and the Loftwings which the Skyloftians fly around. What is interesting to note is that they're all holding shields that look a lot like the Hylian Crest (albeit much simplified), without the Triforce.īut wait! That crest actually has its own name - it's the Goddess Crest, which first appeared in Skyward Sword, and later in BOTW on Spirit Orbs. On the other side of this war are what looks like Rito soldiers - the birdpeople from BOTW - which is unsurprising, given that this game seems to be centred around the sky, with a ton of bird imagery. Not much to say about this one, except that they're all carrying weapons - Bokoblins have clubs, and Moblins appear to have some kind of double-scythe. Our next shot is what looks like a stone carving of a war between your standard Zelda enemies - Bokoblins and Moblins - accompanied by a spreading swirl of Malice, the hot pink evil goo from BOTW which represents Ganon's increasing power over the region. Honestly, it's hard to tell either way.) Moblins, Bokoblins, And Malice (oh my!) Image: Nintendo (Some people are saying that Owl Lad is a woman. ![]() So, this owl lad (if he is Sheikah, and he's not just got cool eyelashes) is from the past. but in Breath of the Wild, the Sheikah are an ancient mystical race whose technology is buried under Hyrule, ready to awaken for the chosen hero (that's you). We're not even sure Nintendo fully knows what the Sheikah are any more. Honestly, who knows what that means at this point. it would appear that they have Sheikah markings on their face. But for now, let's just say that whoever they are, they seem very important - they are dressed in plenty of fancy regalia, perhaps of a royal, a god, or some other important role.Īnd. ![]() Now, we know that owls are very important in Zelda lore - Kaepora Gaebora being the most important one, and his owl-like Skyward Sword ancestor Headmaster Gaebora, who is Zelda's dad in the times before Zelda is even a Princess.Ĭan we tell anything about this birdperson from the trailer? Oh yes. The very first shot of the trailer is what looks like an owl. It's pretty safe to say at this point that birds and flying are two of the themes of Tears of the Kingdom.

There has to be something juicy in that footage, right?Īlso, make sure to browse through your early pre-order options for the game, and check out our guide compiling all the info about TOTK that we have so far: We won't lie here - the trailer didn't have a lot going on. ![]() You know what that means, Zelda fans - it's time to put our speculation hats on once more, and get to dissecting this trailer for every wee nugget of Zelda lore we can find. We've finally found out the title of Breath of the Wild 2 (which means we can stop calling it Breath of the Wild 2) alongside a brand-new trailer in the latest Nintendo Direct - and it's called Tears of the Kingdom, which has already set off a ton of theories. ![]()
