All Zelda Tears of the Kingdom final trailer secrets discovered

As this was the final trailer for Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it was very overwhelming for the amount they showed off in such a short timeframe. Here are some secrets we found that some people may not have noticed.

Hyrule Castle might be getting rebuilt

Near the beginning of the final trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, several tents can be seen pitched in front of the promenade leading to Hyrule Castle. The Royal Hyrule Crest can clearly be seen in the foreground. There is a pretty strong chance that this is Bolson's building company, the same ones responsible for building Link's house in Breath of the Wild.

Is Zelda holding a Tear of Light?

The Tears of Light were golden droplets that Link had to collect in Wolf Form in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. While it certainly isn't an exact replica, Zelda can be seen holding one tear-shaped golden object. This could be meant to reference the Tears of Light or maybe a hint that more elements are returning from Twilight Princess.

Will Rito Village be getting a new Champion?

The trailer shows brief clips of characters from Breath of the Wild who were connected to the original champions. For example, Mipha's brother, Sidon, can be seen fighting alongside Link at one point. In another scene, though, Link is seen diving with a new Rito character. Fans may have been expecting to see Teba, the Rito who helped Link get on top of Vah Medoh in Breath of the Wild, but it looks like he might have a different Rito companion.

Does Thunderhead make a comeback?

An upside-down trailer can be easily spotted towards the end of the trailer. Later on, a ship can be seen sailing through the wind currents. This might be a similar situation to Thunderhead, an area by Skyloft in Skyward Sword. This was a pretty important area, housing the Isle of Songs.

Will Demise return?

While many fans are starstruck at the return of Ganondorf, he might not be the only returning villain in Tears of the Kingdom. A small clip was shown of an unknown figure with flowing locks of hair aflame. The one villain in the series that fits this description is Demise, the nemesis in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
