As it happens the entire artbook for the game has been leaked, so proceed with caution.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Artbook Spoilers
If you are here, we’ll assume that you do not mind spoilers but if you do, this is you final warning as MASSIVE SPOILERS might follow below. If you want to experience the game first-hand without spoiling any aspect of it, then quit reading now. If you haven’t yet, you won’t now so, first of all, check out the entire leaked Artbook by clicking on this link here, which was posted on r/GamingLeaksandRumors. Here are some of the major pointers from the leaked Art:
- There are several scenes in the artbook that seem to indicate dungeons. A few interior shots that resemble traditional dungeons, as well as a few shots that look like temple exteriors on sky islands.
- A look at the weird deity being that appears on all the wall art, and an aged up Purah.
- There are a fair number of dungeon-like areas
- There are a decent number of images showing “ancient” architecture that’s in good repair, plus concepts of people wearing the “sky tunic”, and there is one image of a huge “war map” area showing Hyrule… but at the center is some kind of temple instead of Hyrule Castle.
- There is artwork where she is underground alone (without Link), standing in the entrance of a cavernous room with stairs leading downwards. It may imply she survives the fall and will be playable, or at least have a separate story arc, underground without Link.
- There is additional art that shows the new sheikah slate (that Zelda is holding in the official art) interfaces with the long cable spool we see a guardian leg presenting to Link in the last trailer. It could have implications that they communicate with one another via this cable.
- There seem to be quite a few puzzle mechanics described in it. It also had rooms with different architectures that clearly held puzzles. So even if we don’t get fully proper dungeons, we’d likely at least get areas that feel more like proper dungeons than those shrines which all looked the same.
