MATTHEW MERCER is voicing Ganondorf lol. It works pretty well but now I won't ever be able to unhear that xD
also i'm pretty certain this isn't zelda. has the same eye that's prevalent in the rest of the imagery of the game that many people are thinking is in relation to the Zonai. perhaps the Zonai are an ancient civilization that Hylia was born from and this is Hylia in one way or another?
here's better shots from the HD version
also, look at the dragons at the bottom of her dress as well.
@beardalaxy I love her
In Twilight Princess, you need to collect the Tears of Light in order to revive The Spirits of Light, who watch over Hyrule's provinces (that being Lanayru, Faron, and Eldin). All of those provinces exist in Breath of the Wild still. I suspect that this will be part of the plot of Tears of the Kingdom as well, and that similar to Twilight Princess, they will help Link defeat Ganondorf.
This also gives Nintendo a good excuse to cut down the size of the main overworld from Breath of the Wild, only including those regions, while expanding plenty else up into the air. They could easily cut out 50% of the map by doing this, so that we don't have to travel the same places over and over. I'm assuming that, even if the terrain isn't different on the surface world, there will also be plenty of new challenges and interesting situations to deal with, combined with the new mechanics making them more varied as well.
