Known as the Upheaval, Link, and Zelda set off to unravel this phenomenon, only to stumble across an ancient evil, the Demon King. Once more, the Kingdom of Hyrule finds itself on the edge of annihilation as mysterious chasms have begun appearing all over. However, after spending over 60 enjoyable, well-worth hours in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this adventure is anything but a quick copy and paste. The same Link, the same Hyrule, and the same cast of friends you met along your journey in the first game. So traditionally, Nintendo hasn’t always been about making “direct” sequels to their Zelda games, which came as even more of a surprise, as last year Nintendo officially announced that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would be getting a direct sequel. There’s also Majora Mask, which maintained the art direction and gameplay of its former, Ocarina of Time, though both could be played without needing to play the other. Phantom Hourglass, a sequel to Wind Waker, would probably be the closest we got to a direct sequel, at least in the story. Sure, you play as “Link” in all the Zelda games, but in most cases, you’re in a different timeline, with the game’s plot having little to do with the previous games. While not so obvious, all Zelda games in some way are all connected, though we’d argue outside of Majora Mask, the 3D games haven’t really felt like they were direct sequels to one another, meaning featuring the same Link. The Zelda franchise is no stranger to sequels, believe it or not.
