The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom It is a game that, it seems, will be very complete. As such an important game, it is obvious that it will pool the resources of different games. Zelda’s stories keep intertwining and taking on elements from here and elsewhere. That’s why, to understand the depth of these titles, you need to have played a few games.

I will split this guide in two: Games that yes or yes you must play there games that will expand your experience but they are not mandatory. Although, if you are a little lazy (like me), you can always put a summary or gameplay of the games to optimize time and discover the story.

Games you need to play before Tears Of The Kingdom

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

  • Wii and nintendo switch (2011)

This game tells the story from the beginning, Skyward Sword focuses on the beginning of the cycle that explains the Zelda saga. In the We will meet the three characters who will eternally reincarnate in different Zelda sagas. Yes, everyone knows about Zelda, Link and Ganon and their connection to the Triforce. But… Do you know its origins? Well, Skyward Sword tells us this story to have more information about the whole saga. Does the game mainstay for anyone who wants to know the story of The Legend Of Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

  • Gamecube, Wii and Wii U (2006)

Although not confirmed where is Zelda BOTW in the timeline of the sagathere are many clues (especially in the architecture of certain places) that indicate that it may be directly linked to the timeline of Twitlight Princess and Child Link.

Asome characters, mysteries and references by Twilight Princess may make sense in Tears Of The Kingdom. The Twili race is very mysterious and it would not be unreasonable to think that he is related to the Zonann. This race that was mysteriously introduced in Breath Of The Wild and seems to be the star of its sequel.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

There’s not much to explain, is there? Tears of the Kingdom is a direct sequel that will use the map and foundation that BOTW laid. Knowing the history of this game is ESSENTIAL play his sequel. Although TOTK is surely quite accessible for new players, there is no reason not to play this little gem and thus be sure that you will enjoy its sequel.

Games that will enhance your experience with Tears Of The Kingdom

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Cataclysm

Please don’t amuse me. This game is not mandatory, in fact you don’t even have to play it. The age of cataclysm only tyou have something that interests us regarding the Tears of the Kingdom: their kinematics. Be nice tells a parallel story but what interests us, since we can connect with former chosen one that we save in every Breath of the Savage Divine Beast. Learn more about Daruk, Mipha, Revali and Urbosa It is something very beautiful and it is a path that I recommend to everyone. And, in retrospect, it makes our interactions with them in BOTW more painful.

Any other Zelda game

Very general this title, yes. But that’s the reality. With the four games I mentioned, you have more than enough to know everything and take full advantage of the new episode of the Zelda saga. The rest of the games will give you more context and make you love the saga, but none is more important than another for understanding Tears of the Kingdom. But, if you want more, these games give you context on different topics:

  • Ocarina of time: This is the last title before the timeline splits into three, making it a very strong pillar for any Zelda story. Also, itsays a lot about Ganon’s intentions and evil/Ganondorf as well as on the Triforce.
  • Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks: Without spoilers, in these titles we see another approach in the relationship of Link and Zelda in addition to enjoying two stories where the two are together during the adventure. You can also add to this list The Wind Waker.

Well, that’s it, isn’t it? I recommended 8 games and explained why. Waste less time reading and start playing because you have a lot of moves to hit . Seriously now, c.with these titles you have the basics and much more to understand Tears of the Kingdom. Even if you can always deepen your knowledge of the saga with videostheories and other content that in games doesn’t go that far. There are hundreds of good youtubers creating Zelda content both in Spanish and English, so if your curiosity is not satisfied by these games, you can always turn to them.
