Today marks the 100th day until tears of the kingdom comes out. To mark this day, I wanted to list the things I want in both tears of the kingdom and future open world Zelda games. With tears of the kingdom coming out soon, this is more for future open world Zelda games.
The return of dungeons
Enough said. I liked the shrines from breath of the wild, but all Zelda fans want the dungeons to return.
Access to the dungeons needs to be tougher.
I know that this do exist in some Zelda games. For example, to need to get the blue tunic in order to enter the lakebed temple from twilight princess. But I think that this process needs more variety to it. For example, in order to get in a dungeon, you need to defeat a gatekeeper, find pieces of a broken key that is all around the land, or time travel.
Weapons durability
Many fans want both crafting and repairing weapons in tears of the kingdom. At one time I wanted that too. Then I thought about it. I don’t want to spend a lot of time-wasting finding materials to fix my broken weapons. Beside a like the weapons breaking in action. The solution is simple, let the weapons last longer before they break. Especially the more important weapons. For the case of the master sword, it doesn’t need to brake or run out of energy ever.
New weapons
We need more types of weapons beside the standard swords, axes, bow and arrows, boomerangs, and so on. Let’s have throwing stars, daggers, bo staff, and more. The weapon that I want the most is a crossbow.
Dual wielding
This is definitely needed. Link can wield two swords, a sword and axe, a sword and magic, and so on. There are many combinates to this.
Go underwater
Hopefully this will be in tears of the kingdom.
Link go prone
If there is one move that Link to add to repertoire is going prone. A good way to use this move is while being prone and crawling through tall grass in order to get around a bunch of foes.
More foes
GameXplain or Nintendo life said that they were about 20 groups of enemies in breath of the wild. Hopefully they will be more typre of foes in both tears of the kingdom and future games. Like poes and darknuts.
More NPCs
This will not happen until we get a more powerful system. Just imagine having castle town, Ordon village, Kokiri village, or all of Hyrule cover with people all around.
Play as Zelda
This might not happen in tears of the kingdom. Hopefully we will play as our favorite princess in a future game. We can play her in a certain part of a game. Maybe both Link and Zelda can work and fight together.
