Some might argue that’s a stretch, but I can see how the unconscious mind could get to Dethl from Trinexx and Vitreous. Even its final form, Dethl, is an amalgamation of creatures this version of Link fought in his previous exploits. The final battle with Shadow Nightmare has Link fighting versions of Ganon, Zol, and A Link to the Past’s Agahnim. So it makes absolute sense that this creature, one born directly out of our hero in the Switch remake, would take the form of enemies he’s faced in the past. ![]() The entirety of this game is Link’s subconscious attacking him to prevent their manifested world from disappearing.

This series has been a part of my life for more than 30 years, and it’s unlikely that’ll change in the future. I was killing moblins before I knew how to tie my shoes. I’ve been with the series since the beginning, starting way back on the NES. Previews have been positive, and as we count down the hours to when Tears of the Kingdom will finally be playable, I’ve been spending my hours thinking back to all the games that have come before it. ![]() As the direct sequel to the biggest Zelda game of all time, expectations are high. In just a few days, millions of Switch owners will finally get their hands on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Because not every main villain needs an encore
