One important detail to point out is that the Tears of the Kingdom Ouroborous has two heads instead of just one, which could be a clue that the game features two distinct Links at different points in time whose adventures eventually close this time loop.Įither that or, in typical Zelda fashion, this timeline is even more complicated than we think. The Tears of the Kingdom logo could reference Zonai dragons. Link’s strange new arm in Tears of the Kingdom also seems to be related to Zonai magic, which further lends support to this theory. This ancient culture disappeared thousands of years prior to the events of that game and may be responsible for originally sealing Ganon. At least one person on Twitter noticed immediately after the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, noting that the design seems to directly reference the dragon statues that are part of the ancient Zonai ruins in Breath of the Wild. The Ouroboros observation isn’t exactly new either. This could mean that the Zelda timeline is a loop.” “It’s an Ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail. The kingdom is probably Hyrule, but what tears are we talking about? PointCrow argues that the reveal itself was the spoiler, but only because of the logo. (He specifically said that subtitles “start to give little bits of hints about maybe what’s going to happen.”) When the title “Tears of the Kingdom” was revealed in a September 2022 Nintendo Direct, it didn’t really spoil anything. The Evidence - PointCrow to a quote from Nintendo’s Bill Trinen, who told IGN in 2021 that releasing the subtitle of the game would be a spoiler. In other words, Tears of the Kingdom appears to be a prequel to Skyward Sword… while also being a distant sequel to the very same game. But in Skyward Sword, everyone lives on those islands after escaping a threat below until Link falls to Earth and has to save the day while in Tears of the Kingdom, it seems like civilization is still surface-based but may eventually relocate upwards. The other crucial detail here is that both Skyward Sword and Tears of the Kingdom feature islands floating in the sky.
