Nintendo kept their promise and shared during the latest Nintendo Direct new gameplay expected The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is also the longest advance to date. Fans of the franchise have been eager to learn more about the game, which has been delayed multiple times due to the pandemic impacting its development schedule.

The best news is that the new gameplay Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom finally shows what main game novelties. In fact, those led by Eiji Aonuma have taken the time to delve into some of the mechanics. Be careful because some of these can mean a before and after for a franchise. For those who thought it was a simple update Breath of the Wildthey were very wrong.

However, with this advance, it becomes clear that the open world is waiting for us with many surprises. In addition to new locations on the surface, there will also be aerial structures that Nintendo called Sky Islands.

However, getting to this place is not as easy as it seems. Nintendo advises there will be many ways to get to Sky Islands, and it is up to the players to find out. One of them is the ability to return to the past. But not all Hyrules, but only specific items. For example, in the gameplay, you can see the stone that fell from the floating islands, so Link turn back time from it, climb it and manage to reach the heights.

Another new one from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom What gets a lot of attention is create weapons from almost any item that you meet. The video shows Link taking a tree branch and using it as a sword. However, it will be possible to combine various items to produce more powerful weapons – branch + stone, for example. “When you come across something like this, you should always take it. Maybe it will come in handy later,” Aonuma says.
