![]() Well, it seems like this specific mechanic is going to play a part once again in Breath of the Wild, with Link able to use the breeze to control the direction of the raft. Well that is until players discovered the raft that could be used to automatically cross the water. Sailing The Seas It seems like Link still doesn’t have the ability to swim great distances.īack in the original, players would regularly be trapped on one side of the water, constantly trying to find a bridge to cross it. In fact, as Nintendo have demonstrated, one targeted arrow to the lantern inside, and well the whole thing will go up in flames, with those hidden inside running away in fear for their lives. However, unlike Skull Cave, this enemy hideout doesn’t seem to be as well fortified. It’s definitely not as strong as the original Legend of Zelda’s Skull Cave You see, just take a look at the picture and it’s evident to everyone that this enemy hideout is definitely shaped like a skull. We all remember the final dungeon from The Legend of Zelda, yes I mean the one shaped like a giant skull, well it seems that it could be back, or at least this is a very similar location. Here we have another iconic landmark from the original masterpiece, although unlike Spectacle Rock, this one does seem to be a little more clear cut. Skull Cave Is this the remnants of Hyrule’s Skull Cave? Or just a coincidence? Although, with no confirmation, I’ll have to leave each of you to draw your own conclusions here. As such, given their distinct nature, it would arguably be hard to miss these should they ever reappear, and many have noticed something in the early footage of Breath of the Wild that resembles these iconic rocks (just take a look above). In fact, to many they look like a pair of spectacles, hence the charming nickname. Spectacle Rock Hyrule’s Spectacle RockĪs Nintendo quite rightly points out, the rock formations in original Legend of Zelda are quite distinct. You see, whilst this time a man in the caves won’t be providing link with the most essential of weapons, he will though offer you advice, alongside allowing you to borrow a torch from him. Well it seems like history is about to repeat itself, well in a manner of speaking. We all remember discovering the man in the caves, the one who hands you your sword in the original Legend of Zelda. For example, take a look at the following potential links between the two versions of Hyrule: The Man in the Caves The Old Man In The Hyrule Caves ![]() Much of this was recently compiled by Nintendo themselves, only further hinting that these links are a part of Eiji Aounuma and his team’s design for the game. Especially for those if us who have extensively explored the original 8-bit masterpiece. This is because within all of the already released footage for Breath of The Wild, there seem to be more than quite a few familiar sights and locations. Nevertheless, despite being trapped, Calamity Ganon only continues to grow stronger, and Link must find a way to stop it before it manages to escape.Īs such, Link must venture deep into Hyrule, a version of Hyrule it seems we have more than likely visited before. Upon his arrival in Hyrule, a mysterious old man explains that 100 years prior, Calamity Ganon destroyed Hyrule, and when the people couldn’t defeat it, those remaining sealed it inside Hyrule Castle. This time around, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild finds Link awaken from a deep sleep, only to find himself guided by a mysterious voice to the Kingdom of Hyrule, a kingdom which now lies ruined and desolate. However, if you’re a fan of the original on the NES / Famicom Disk System, and why wouldn’t you be, Nintendo have been teasing more than just a passing connection between the two. As such, it should come as no surprise that the latest instalment for the Wii U and newly announced Nintendo Switch, is easily on the most hotly anticipated games currently in development. With its roots in the 1986 retro classic, the series has gone from strength to strength. The Legend of Zelda is one of the all time greats of video gaming.
