The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is coming to Nintendo Switch on May 12. Here are all the features we hope to see in it — from playable Zelda to hummus.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is just around the corner as we come up on its May 12 release date. Although Nintendo released the game’s final trailer on Thursday morning, there’s still a lot we don’t know about it.
We know what some of the new characters will look like, and that some friends from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild be making a return. Nintendo also revealed details about Link’s new powers and breakable weapons in Eiji Aonuma’s recent gameplay demonstration. However, much of Tears of the Kingdom remains a mystery.
While many fans are content to rationally theorize about what’s next, it can also be fun to dream big.
In anticipation of its release, the Polygon staff decided to round up a list of features, abilities, and quality-of-life improvements we hope will be in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. These range from the return of certain characters to… hummus. It’s a real smorgasbord of wishes. Let’s dive in! Hummus
I think Link should be able to make hummus. You can do a million things with hummus. You can season it with acidic fruit, herbs, or veggies — everything Link’s already collecting. Let Link bring a veggie/hummus platter to his boss fight with Ganon. Let me collect a dozen kinds of beans, Nintendo.
I don’t have more to this argument. I just think it would be nice. —Susana PoloLet’s all ride Prince Sidon more
On Thursday, during Tears of the Kingdom’s final trailer, Nintendo revealed that Prince Sidon will be returning in the sequel. Now that he’s confirmed to be in the next game, I just hope we get to ride him more.
The Zora royal charmed me from the moment Link met him with his broad, sparkly smile. The guy has the best golden retriever energy of any Zelda character I know, and teams up with Link in the best way possible: Link gets to literally ride Sidon as the two fight the Divine Beast Vah Ruta. Although some clever glitch hunters found a way to ride Sidon everywhere, I’m hoping that Nintendo will include the ability by default.
