As we speak, Nintendo launched a brand new Traversing Hyrule trailer that has supplied a extra detailed have a look at a few of the locations you will be visiting this time round, in addition to one other capacity Zelda may have, and one other companion she’ll be travelling with too. For the primary time in a 2D Zelda sport, the Gerudo might be making an look, in Gerudo Desert as at all times, a spot with loads of mysteries.
Jabul Waters might be host to each the Sea Zora and River Zora, the 2 differing types you might need seen within the first trailer.
