Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a lovely nod to BotW’s DLC that’s easy to miss

For those who’ve performed and crushed the Champion’s Ballad DLC in Breath of the Wild, you would possibly discover one thing small however particular in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Story spoilers forward for each Breath of the Wild’s DLC and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

When DLC was introduced for Breath of the Wild, a variety of followers had been excited by how the world and story would possibly get expanded. However some had been left a bit of disillusioned that it principally simply fleshed out the Champion’s backstory, one thing I personally beloved because it helped inform the sort of individuals they had been. Nonetheless, one of many nicest touches got here from when you beat the DLC, as the ultimate cutscene reveals a scene of the Champions all taking a photograph collectively. You’d then discover this photograph hung up in Hyperlink’s home in Hateno, a very nice contact to mark you have completed it – and it seems that in the event you’ve crushed the DLC, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is aware of, and can present the identical photograph in that precise home.

Anybody that is managed to make it to Hateno in Tears of the Kingdom will know that the home now belongs to Zelda (is smart, as that’s the place a lot of the Hylians reside now). I used to be questioning if the home would nonetheless be there in Tears of the Kingdom, so made my method over there fairly early on to test it out, and was pleasantly stunned to search out the photograph of the Champions all collectively.

The one motive I do know that the photograph is not there anyway is as a result of my companion is enjoying by way of the sport too, however would not presently have a save file the place she’s crushed the Champion’s Ballad. They had been fairly disillusioned to see the photograph wasn’t there, however once I shared that I used to be completely happy to see it there she was stunned as she hadn’t seen it. A pleasant little contact for those who did play by way of the DLC!

That is not the solely factor in Tears of the Kingdom that transfers over out of your save file. It’s also possible to import your horses from Breath of the Wild, one other nice contact as I did come to like my horses within the first recreation.

Now all gamers must do is begin believing the sport even exists to allow them to all see this for themselves.
