That said, it’s unclear exactly what state Zelda ’s Sacred Realm is in during the era of Breath of the Wild . The game’s somewhat ambiguous timeline placement makes it difficult to determine which branch it belongs to, though it’s said to take place at the end of the story. It’s possible that the Sacred Realm remains a safe land of light in this era, but there’s an equal chance that Ganon’s malice has corrupted this divine realm once again. As such, fans have speculated that BOTW and TOTK ’s stories will lead to the ending of the fractured Zelda timeli   Regardless of their extensive knowledge, however, BOTW ’s characters are seemingly unaware that Princess Zelda is the era’s incarnation of the Goddess Hylia herself. Zelda devoted her entire life to prayer in order to awaken her sacred power, but her prayers went unanswered by the Goddess. However, Tears of the Kingdom ’s plot may awaken Zelda’s memories as the Goddess Hylia, allowing her to invoke the full extent of her hidden power in BOTW ’s seq   Zelda's death can affect Tears of the Kingdom differently depending on whether it happens during the beginning or end of the game. If it's at the beginning, when she falls into the crevice, it's possible that she'll return as a spirit and become a companion to Link as she is in Zelda: Spirit Tracks . She could inhabit Link's new arm in BOTW 2 , and be the source of some of the new abilities that it's shown to grant him such as returning objects to a previous position and phasing through solid stone. Part of the main quest may even involve reviving Zelda via the Shrine of Resurrection if this is the case. On the other hand, if she were to perish during the ending of the game, the gameplay may not change overly much, but it could make for a very somber ending if she were not shown being revi   Since Breath of the Wild is said to take place at the very end of the Zelda timeline, it stands to reason that its sequel may reincorporate past plots, characters, and locations to resolve various aspects of the series narrative. Fans have been quick to note the references to games like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword already present in both BOTW and the three TOTK trailers released so far. As such, it’s possible that the fate set in motion by the events of TOTK’s predecessors may lead to a reappearance of Zelda’s most important magical realms in the upcoming g   The Legend of Zelda _ is brimming with magical power and mystical worlds, and _Tears of the Kingdom could be setting itself up to revisit some of the legendary realms that have previously appeared in the franchise. As Breath of the Wild’s story continues in the upcoming sequel scheduled for release next May, it seems that some plots from previous Zelda eras may also come to a fateful conclusion in this next game. Link has already been shown exploring a sky zone reminiscent of Skyloft in TOTK ’s trailers, but it’s likely that magical realms beyond the physical bounds of Hyrule will make their return as w   If Hyrule is indeed enveloped by Malice in Tears of the Kingdom , it could change the game drastically. Just like it corrupted the Guardians and Divine Beasts in BOTW , Malice may turn regular animals such as boar and deer into hostile monsters, and may do the same to sentient species like Hylians and Rito. It's established that Malice has the capability to do this since it happened to Naydra in BOTW , and in the very first TOTK trailer , it flows over a rat, which could be another hint that it will corrupt the various inhabitants of Hyrule in BOTW 2 and turn them into powerful enemies and bosses . If this possibility proves true, the game may be much harder than BOTW was due to a lack of people to work at shops and inns, though it's still possible for these services to be pres   These are two sets of different dragons and are very different from each other apart from representing the element of their region. Skyward Sword 's trio aids Link by teaching him the Song of the Hero. Whereas the Breath of the Wild trio flies over Hyrule damaging anyone that comes too near, though striking a certain part of the dragon will give Link a useful item to strengthen his g   Ever since its announcement, Zeldatearshub.com most everything about Breath of the Wild 's sequel has been shrouded in mystery. Certain details such as a withered mummy buried deep underground, a strange covering or replacement for Link's right arm, and parts of Hyrule floating suspended in the air have been known for some time, while other elements - particularly the details of the story - still haven't been revealed. Until recently, one of the most highly anticipated aspects was the name. Titles like Destiny Abound were theorized for some time, but ultimately proved fa   If Tears of the Kingdom involves time travel as Zelda fans have already begun to theorize, it’s possible that Link and Zelda will need to access the Sacred Realm, Dark World, or both in order to defeat Calamity Ganon once and for all. The Sacred Realm has already been shown to be capable of enabling time travel, as previously shown in Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time . However, it’s also possible that the Dark World’s evil would prevent such a feat if it is, in fact, corrupted by Ganon’s malice, which may require players to restore the legendary Golden Land once more. Link and Zelda’s quest to save Hyrule may take them through multiple mystical realms in **Tears of the Kingdom ** , but players will have to wait until the game’s release next year to know for cert
