We're in the part of the hype cycle for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom where longtime series fans take the absence of regularly distributed information about the game as a chance to start spinning up increasingly absurd theories about the content of the game - and now everybody's been pleasantly surprised by one theory that actually makes a lot of sense.
We know that in Tears of the Kingdom, Link is going to lose most of the abilities and power-ups he collected in Breath of the Wild because, well, that's how video games work. Many of the Tears of the Kingdom trailers prominently feature a sequence where Link is attacked by the corrupted energy pouring out of what appears to be Ganondorf's corpse. It engulfs Link's right arm, and is likely the reason he ends up with that weird, inhuman limb throughout the rest of the game.
