The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an exceptional follow-up to Breath of the Wild, enriching some of its finest features and introducing innovative systems and abilities. One of Breath of the Wild's most prominent features was the liberty players had in terms of the primary storyline.
Is it Possible to Go Straight to the Final Boss?
Players are able to reach the final boss as soon as they obtain the Paraglider at Lookout Landing, and potentially even earlier if they can find an alternative solution to the steep drop beneath Hyrule Castle. However, reaching the deepest part of the depths requires players to overcome numerous obstacles such as Electric Likelike, Horriblins, a White Lynal, and other dangers. With only four hearts, players who attempt to take this route must be able to obtain powerful weapons or quickly dodge their enemies, as most threats in the depths can defeat Link in a single hit.
Players must utilize Zonai Devices strategically and conserve their weapons until they reach the drop leading to the final battle. The ensuing challenge involves facing a gauntlet of Ganondorf's minions, followed by every dungeon boss encountered throughout the game. Finally, players must navigate a short path to Ganondorf himself and engage in an incredibly tricky boss fight. The Master Sword is bestowed upon the player during the final phase, assuming they are able to reach it.
Experienced players who manage to overcome all the obstacles can access the game's credits without having to explore the various corners of Hyrule or venture into the captivating dungeons. However, this approach may deprive them of the game's most remarkable moments and exhilarating side quests, which is why it is not advisable for first-time players to take this route. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now accessible on Nintendo Switch.
