he final trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has arrived, and beyond revealing the return of Ganondorf, it's also confirmed that Link actually gets to fight big battles alongside some proper allies for once, which was one of the coolest parts of Hyrule Warriors.
As a Musou spinoff, Hyrule Warriors was explicitly about absurdly large-scale battles, so it's no surprise that those battles had more participants than Link's solo adventures in Breath of the Wild. But Breath of the Wild is fundamentally a game about protecting a land and its people, so I was always a little disappointed that those people didn't have much of a presence in battles involving Link. We see lots of other characters fighting in cutscenes and flashbacks, but I'm coming up short for playable sequences where Link has meaningful allies apart from the spirits of his legendary companions.
