![]() ![]() “We first showed the game to the public at GDC after a couple of months of prototype development, and even then it was clear we were on to something,” he says. In fact, he says, it was much easier to get a prototype up than it's been to finish the game. Whether in the past, present, future, or alternate universe she is very much alive and will play a key role in the story of Tears of the Kingdom.The studio’s Morgan Jaffit tells us that the team is big believers in building and testing, and as such had a demo up very early on. Her fate has shifted to traveling to where she needs to be in order to help Link defeat Ganondorf. From what I have seen in the trailer, I no longer think that Zelda dies in the game. The Master Sword that she is holding could quite possibly be the reason that she needs to be there for.įans of the Legend of the Zelda franchise love to speculate and theorize, and I am one of those fans. Perhaps Link is also in the same part of time or universe that Zelda is in, and he just simply needs to be able to find her. All throughout the trailer there is ample evidence that Hyrule has changed significantly, apart from the Sky Islands that are forming above Hyrule. ![]() With her looking up to the sky she is quite possibly aware that Link is battling up there and trying to find his way back to her. We see Zelda all alone on top of some structure looking up to the sky and crying out, “Link! You must find me!” That almost certainly confirms my suspicion that after falling Zelda does travel somewhere instead of falling to her demise. The final line of the trailer really shook me. Could she be able to somehow give Link the unaltered sword so he can defeat the resurrected Ganondorf? The sword that Zelda has in her possession has not been altered at all. We have seen evidence of Link wielding the Master Sword but it is covered in malice and looks to have been changed considerably. More importantly though, she is holding the Master Sword! You hear her say, “Link! You are our final hope.” It’s then that the trailer cuts to the logo of the game. Near the end of the trailer, amongst a lot of chaos and action of Link trying to save Hyrule, Zelda is shown wearing a beautiful white gown, a new haircut, and possible Zonai accessories in her hair. I am not suggesting that Zelda will be a playable character in the game, but perhaps through cutscenes we will learn more about where she is and what she needs to do. Zelda will have her own quest to complete in the game which will presumably affect the world of Hyrule and what Link is trying to do. As the events from Age of Calamity have shown, there are some multi-verse shenanigans at play possibly. Maybe to the past, future, or even an alternate timeline. ![]() Hearing this line instantly made me think that when Zelda falls she goes somewhere else instead of dying. “I know why I am here…it’s something only I can do.” What she says can give us some possible clues. We still see Link barely missing her hand as she falls, but we do see her again later in the trailer. Surely all of Hyrule would be in literal tears if she died.Īfter watching the final trailer recently shown off, it would appear that Zelda doesn’t die from the fall. Eventually the title of the game was revealed to be Tears of the Kingdom causing even more speculation that our princess had met her end. Zelda wasn’t shown in the trailer after that fall. ![]() We watched in horror as the trailer then showed an evil face, presumably Ganondorf, awakening. Very quickly the ground crumbles and we see Link trying to grab Zelda in time, but he isn’t able to catch her. They see malice forming and what looks like Zonai imagery swirling around the area. The video footage showed both her and Link exploring what looked like the underground of the castle. After watching the first few trailers, some Legend of Zelda fans speculated that Zelda was going to die in Tears of the Kingdom. ![]()
