Although 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of ♒Zelda: Tears of the Kingꦓdom’s exploration means that you can encounter a lot of its story beats in whichever order you discover them, it does have ๊an overarching narrative that involves finding Princess Ze💝lda and stopping the Demon King - Ganondorf.
Completing each of Tears of the Kindgom’s main objectives isn’t necessary to view the game’s ending; however, getting the Master Sword, seeing every Dragon’s Tear cutscene, and completing each of the main quests will unlock ♏the game’s true ending. Here𒁃’s how Tears of the Kingdom’s ending plays out, including the lead-up to the final battle to save Hyrule.
You can obtain✃ the Master Sword at any point, but the main quests follow this order.
Purah Sees ‘Zelda’ At Hyrule Castle
Arriving at Lookout Landing, Link tells Purah that he has investigated 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Regional Phenomena and successfully awakened the Sages in each of the four regions.
While Link is speaking with Purah, a Blood Moon rises, prompting Purah to look through her telescope at Hyrule Castle. Shocked, she tells Link to have a look too. Doing so, Link sees what appears to be Zelda, standing in front of Hyrule Castle.
After they see ‘Ze🃏lda,’ the sky returns to normal, and Zelda disappears.
While Link is likely aware that this is not the real Zelda because she is in the past, he has no option but to investigate, even though he knows it is most likely another trick of the Demon Ki🅠ng.
Link enters the dangerous Hyrule Castle, taking on monsters while following Zelda. She leads Link to Hyrule Castle’s throne room, restoring it to its glory pre-Calamity Ganon.
Ganondorf’s skeletal echo appears in the throne room, threatening Link and revealing that the ‘Zelda’ Link was following was nothing more than a puppet, conjured by Ganondorf to deceive Link.
Ganondorf then sends multiple Phantom Ganons to kill Link, which Link defeats. Just as Ganondorf is about to attack Link with Gloom, the four Sages arrive to help him, contrasting with how Link was attacked with Gloom at the beginning of the game. This time, he’s not alone, and is protected bജy the Sages.
Ganondorf reveals his identity to the Sages and shows them a vision of what happened during the Imprisoning War before Rauru sealed him, saying that it will happen again if Link and the Sages fail to stop him.
In the vision, Ganondorf, in his Demon King form, rides on horseba🦹ck alongside hordes of monsters that he has summoned, telling them to “leave no sur𒊎vivors” in Hyrule.
Ganondorf then disappears, leaving Link and the Sages to ponder on what they have seen. Riju comments that Ganondorf is not yet at his peak strength, likely because he has left them alive, ♑and is biding his time.
Finding The Fifth Sage
When Link and the Sages return to Purah, she tells them of the existence of another Sage, and that they might find out more about them by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:investigating ruins from thꦉe age of legend - these turn out to be in Kakariko, a𒊎nd lead Link to the Zonai ruins in Faron.
Link learns of a ritual related to the Zonai, where he must don the Charged Armor set and offer a Zonai charge on a pedestal. Doing so clears the storm above Faron, allowing him to access Dragon Head Island and find a lead to the fifth Sage - a strange Zonai headpiece that emits a green light.
A mysterious voice instructs Link to follow the green light, leading him to a Construct factory in the Depths. The voice tells Link that she is Mineru, the Sage of Spirit. However, because she is a spirit without a body, she cannot ꦡy🦩et help Link.
By visiting four storehouses in the Depths, Link assembles a Construct body for Mineru’s Spirit to inhabit.
Having fixed the Construct, Link visits the Spirit Temple in the Depths to retrieve Mineru’s Secret Stone, but is stopped from doing so by a Construct under the control of the Dem꧃on King’s Gloom.
Link is able to defeat the Seized Construct and Mineru’s spirit, which has been harbored in the Purah Pad, goes into her Secret Stone, which in turn enters the new Construct body.
Mineru Recounts The Imprisoning War
Mineru, now with a body to inhabit, tells Link that, similar to the other Sages, she made a promise to Zelda to aid Link. Mineru vows to help Li🌠nk by fighting alongside him using h🧸er new Construct body.
Mineru then recounts the past, telling Link about the Secret Stones, how the kingdom of Hyrule was founded under King Rauru and Queen Sonia, and the events of the Imprisoning War.
The King of the Gerudo, Ganondorf, hungry for more power, murdered Sonia and stole her Secret Stone. The power of the stone allowed him to become the Demon King. To stop the Demon King, King Rauru entrusted Secret Stones to the Gerudo🌠, Zora, Goron, andဣ Rito leaders, awakening them as Sages.
Unfortunately, Rauru, Zelda, and the Sages were no match for the Demon King’s power, and as a last resort to stop the Demon King, Rauru used his light magic to seal the Demon King underground, sacrificing himself as he did so.
Just before sealing the Demon King, Rauru informed him of a swordsman named Link who will appear when he wakes up in the future.
This explains how Ganondorf knew Link’s name at the beginning of the gamꦺe when he spoke to Link and Zelda.
Link Finds The Master Sword
Having assembled the five Sages, the only thing Link is missing is the Master Sword, which Mineru tells him he can find the location of by speaking to the Great Deku 🦋Tree.
To reach the Great Deku Tree in Korok Forest, Link has to venture through the Depths, where he discovers it is covered in Gloom. After Link dispels the Gloom by defeating Phantom Ganon deep below the forest, the Great Deku Tree tells Link he can sense the Master Sword’s presence moving in the sky.
As Link saw in the Geoglyphs and as Mineru told him, Zelda swallowed her Secret Stone to restore the Master Sword’s power and ensure that it’s safely reunited with Link, undergoing a process called draconification, which turned her into 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Light Dragon.
After visiting enough shrines and gaining stamina back from the Gloom, Link seeks out the Light Dragon and pulls the Master Sword from her head.
Zelda’s sacred light power was channeled into the Master Sword while she flew through the sk𒆙ies until she reached the future, healing the damage the sword sustained fro🍃m the Demon King’s Gloom.
With the newly restored Master Sword, imbued with Zelda’s light power, Link continues on his journey to fight the Demon King.
Link Takes On The Demon King
With the Master Sword in hand and the Sages supporting him, Link travels to beneath Hyrule Castle, where the Demon King is located. The journey is perilous, as the Demon King sends hordes of Gloom-covered monsters to stop him.
However, with the help of the Sages, Link is able to overcome the might of the Demon King’s army. Eventually, the Demon King summons the Muktorok, Queen Gibdo, Marbled Gohma, and Colgera, the🌠 monsters Link fought with the Sages in their respective regions. The Sages stay behind to fight them, while Link journeys onwards alone.
Link continues on and discovers a skeletal Ganondorf, who uses the power of his Secret Stone to restore his body. After Link defeats him in his Gerudo form, Ganondorf’s power increases as he transforms into the Demon King once again.
As Link fights the Demon King, the Sages return one by one, aiding him in the battle. The Sages are knocked unconscious, but Link prevails🐈 to continue the battle against the Demon Kin🌳g.
The Demon King Swallows His Secret Stone
With no other options to defeat Link, the Demon King eats his Secret Stone, becoming the Demon Dragon. Caught in the Demon Dragon’s jaws as it transforms, Link is saved by the Light Dragon, Zelda, who arrives to help him.
After weakening the Demon Dragon, Link finally manages to plunge the Master Sword into the Secret Stone atop the dragon’s head, smashing it and destroyi🀅ng Ganondorf in꧙ the process.
With Link having defeated the Demon King, his Zonai arm begins to glow, and he and the Light Dragon are transported to a mysterious, perhaps spiritual, realm.
The Spirits Of Rauru And Sonia
As Link floats above the Light Dragon, his Zonai arm begins stretching forward without his control and the spirits of Rauru and Sonia appear behind him. They channel their light and time powers through Link’s arm by placing their hands on top of his.
This bathes the Light Dragon in a golden glow. The combination of Rauru’s light and Sonia’s time powers is able to revert Zelda to her Hylian form and restore Link’s arm. Knowing that 🙈Hyrule, and Link and Zelda, are safe, Rauru and Sonia’s spirits depart.
Link falls unconscious, and quickly awakens, where he is falling through the sky. Mirroring the scene at the beginning of the game where Link fails to grab Zelda as she falls into a chasm, Link reaches for the unconscious, falling Zelda, this time managing to catch her.
Link protects her as they fall into a body of water. Link then carries Zelda to the riverbank, where she wakes up, realizing that she is no longer a dragon, and Link has succeꦑssfully beaten the Demon King.
Hyrule is once again safe and Zelda has found her way home.
Post-Credits Cutscene
If you 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:completed all the main quests, a post-credits cutscene will play. Mineru’s spirit brings Zelda, Link, Purah, and the Sages to the Temple of Time on the Great Sky Island, showing them the magnificent view of Hyrule.
Riju asks Zelda if she was really “roaming the skies all along,” and Zelda says that it is true, but she “doesn’t really remember” her time as the Light Dragon.
Mineru confirms that it was Rauru and Sonia’s combined light and time powers that changed Zelda back into a Hylian. With Hyrule saved and in the protection of Link and the new Sages, Mineru’s spirit prepares to depart to be with Rauru, Sonia, and the ancient Sages.
Tulin notices that Zelda is upset by Mineru’s inevitable departure, and brings the Sages together.
Mirroring how the ancient Sages swore a vow to Hyrule and Rauru during the Imprisoning War, the new Sages make a promise to stand by Zelda’s side and protect Hyrule.
Pleased, Mineru says that Rauru and Sonia will be happy to hear of their dedication, before departing to the afterlife with🌌 a final thank you.
Tears of the Kingdom ends on a hopeful note, as Zelda, Link, Purah, and the Sages dedicate themselves to ensuring that Hyrule is protected for “all time.”
Finally, Link and Zelda’s journey, which began when Calamity Ganon devastated Hyrule, is over. With Ganondorf defeated, they can focus on protecting and rebuilding th🐷e kingdom of Hyrꦫule.
