Her presence in Breath of the Wild 2 doesn’t inspire confidence. In past trailers she explores the underground caverns of Hyrule Castle with Link before coming across the corpse of Ganondorf. It’s cursed or something, so our hero is quickly infected with an ancient curse as Zelda is yeeted into a dark hole of oblivion. I desperately hope she isn’t stuck there for the entire story as a generic damsel in distress, because the first game helped prove that her character is far more than the archetypal mould from which she was born. Nintendo needs to subvert expectations, whether it be through additional playable characters or a narrative that is far from traditional. Pull a Majora’s Mask – we rarely see numbered sequels in the canonical timeline, so it’s time to try something that isn’t afraid to alter the landscape.
Final Fantasy 9 ’s Princess Garnet is the closest comparison to Zelda in the gaming world, largely because their circumstances, personality, and overall drive are so similar. Garnet takes a dagger to her hair at a pivotal point in her character arc. Her kingdom is approaching ruin and her mother is gone, so this moment is a reclamation of agency that has long been kept away from her. Gone is the received pronunciation and royal procedures that have long held her back from living a normal, fulfilling life. Travelling with Zidane and company has taught her the importance of this heritage while simultaneously inspiring her to walk away from it. However, blood remains thicker than water, so returning to the city that helped shape her only to solemnly leave it behind is poetic.
Resident Evil 8 new UI is said to resemble both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4 , and the sequel would feature a new currency system, a first-person perspective, and multiple returning characters including Ethan, Mia, and Chris Redfield. While a few of the details are yet to be properly explained or elaborated on by Capcom, so far, all of the early rumors for Resident Evil: Village have been spot on. Additional rumors have also expanded on a new playable character called Emily that aids Ethan while searching for her missing father, the use of a flashlight (seen at the beginning of the trailer), large outdoor areas, and three new villains known as Alan R., Natalia, and the return of Alex Wesker from Resident Evil: Revelations
Princess Zelda is sporting a new haircut in Breath of the Wild 2 , which seemingly isn’t a subtle hint that she’ll end up as a playable heroine in the upcoming sequel. Instead, it’s a new look for a main character who has saved her kingdom, witnessed the loss of countless loved ones, and managed to survive and continue with a life she’s afraid isn’t deserved.
Next to major first-party titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon: Forbidden West , one of the biggest new game announcements from the PlayStation 5 Elden Ring gameplay mechanics event was the reveal of Resident Evil 8: Village . Just like Resident Evil 3 Remake before it, Resident Evil 8 rumors have been floating around online for the majority of the year, revealing a ton of new aspects about the game from its medieval castle setting to the introduction of werewolves, and a redesigned Chris Redfi
PlayStation’s Tim Turi did an interview with Resident Evil 3’s development staff regarding the Nemesis creature, and it was revealed that its new ability to infect zombies was the result of its relation to the Las Plagas-infected hosts known as the Ganado in Resident Evil 4 . “We wanted NE-a infected enemies [enemies infected by the Nemesis] to be visually similar to the Plagas-infected Ganados as a means for fans to piece together how Nemesis fits within the whole Resident Evil franchi
Though Resident Evil 4 has yet to be officially confirmed, these revelations linking the Nemesis to Resident Evil 4 come at an interesting time given the rumors abound. It could appear out of place to suddenly make a significant link between the Nemesis and Resident Evil 4, unless perhaps Capcom has something relevant stirring in the
Unfortunately, that’s all we currently know about the Resident Evil 4 Remake but it’s safe to say that the rumors have some merit given the track record of the sources and the ongoing accuracy we’ve seen so far with Resident Evil 8 . There’s still plenty to learn about the next-generation sequel ahead of its 2021 launch, and according to the official website, players can expect the next update for Resident Evil: Village to occur sometime in August 2
The fashion on display here is incredibly exciting, and has the potential to extend into a grander mode of customisation where clothing isn’t the only thing that defines Link’s hairstyle and physique. I hope we’re able to adjust the specific nature of each outfit, perhaps extending to the colour of materials, the stats and buffs provided when you wear them, and possibly specific adjustments to accessories and st
It’s heartbreaking, with Zelda’s increased trepidation as she marches towards oblivion reflected in her distrust of Link, an aura of royal pretentiousness that inevitably morphs into fondness over time. Link begins his journey as a knight tasked with watching over the princess, but eventually becomes a close friend she can confide in when everything seems lost. It’s powerful, and the fact something this emotionally resonant is told through the medium of discordant flashbacks is quite an accomplishment.
