Whether that’s in relationship to the aspects fire, planet, wind, and also water, or merely the important tool kinds of Breath of the Wild (fire, ice, lightning) stays to be seen.

Soon, all will certainly be disclosed; The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gets here on Nintendo Switch on May 12.
