Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fans are more convinced than ever of a giant underground world to explore
The underworld beckons

The latest trailer for 澳洲幸运5🦂开奖号码历史查询:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is adding more fuel to the fi✨re of speculation that there's going to be a whole underground world to explore.
Fans have been theorizing about a big underworld in Tears of the Kingdom since it was first announced as simply the 'sequel to Breath of the Wild,' as that first trailer was focused on Link and Zelda delving into a cave where the mummified remains of someone - presumably Ganondorf - were sealed away. Since much of the surface world we've seen in Tears of the Kingdom appears pretty similar to the Hyrule we saw in Breath of the Wild, everyone's hopeful for a bit more - and an underground world in addition to all those locations in the 🎀sky might be just the ticket.
The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:latest trailer from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Direct has a few hints at underground areas. There's a shot where a Hinox chases Link through a small cavern, but maybe you could justify that as simply being a ☂cave on the larger overworld. There's a later on, where Link attacks a rock golem with🍌 a hammer - but while this cave is much bigger, it still seems feasible that it could just be another overworld area.
It's much more difficult to ignore the wide shot from near the start of the trailer, where we . At first glance, this looks like an outdoor area at night, but ဣlook again - all those 'trees' are actually mushrooms, and if you listen closely, you can hear the sounds in the area echoing, just as you'd expect in a massive underground complex.
As Zelda YouTuber Monster Maze notes, the little wandering flames in this shot are particularly interesting. They look exactly like spirits in the Twilight Realm of Twilight Princess. Whether or not there's a direct connection there - certainly the Zelda series often reuses imagery without buildinꦆg on previous lore - this does imply that this is some sort of alternate world unfriendly to non-monstrous creatures.
That leaves us with the idea that this is either a big underground area or, equally interesting, that this is a darkly mirrored underworld, which is a concept that constantly appears in Zelda games. Eit⛄her way, it seems there might be a lot more to explore in Tears of the Kingdom than we previously ﷽thought.
The new trailer also hints at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:return of ReDeads and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:fate of Link's dead arm.
