The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Is It the End of the Legendary Nintendo Franchise?

The most awaited game for RPG fans this year is the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The game is scheduled for release this May 12 and is a sequel to Breath of the Fire. The predecessor was an insane hit that grossed tremendous revenue for Nintendo and thus the same is expected from the sequel.

The game will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive and the world is waiting with anticipation for its release. But a difficult question surely arises regarding the release of the game.

Will the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom be the last game?

Through all these years, Legends of Zelda have become a household name for gaming fans. But every narrative arch meets its end at some point in time. So, will the Tears of the Kingdom be the last of the popular franchise?

For this, let’s first look at the title itself. Legend of Zelda games usually has a unique title that represents some key aspects of the game. And this time also this is quite important. The first aspect noticeable in the logo title is the broken Master Sword, which now has been repaired with Link’s magic. But, the more interesting one is the dragon logo.

A dragon devouring the other dragon is depicted in the logo, and theories are that these indicate something much bigger. The serpent dragons can also be seen in the massive doors in the game visuals as well.

As the logo comes into the picture in the trailer, people could see the hands of two individuals coupled together. If looked closely, it is noticeable in the figure that the sculptured woman is none other than Zelda. There are stark similarities with her. The pointy long ear, the locks of hair, everything is a spitting image of Zelda. And the second image, which is in the sculpture, seems like the goddess Hylia.

The community already knew that Hylia sacrificed her god-hood. Now, her divinity runs through the bloodline of the Hyrule. And the stark similarities between the sculptures are quite similar, indicating the similarities between Zelda and Hylia.

Moreover, the serpentine dragons in the logo are similar to Ouroboros. It is the symbol of life and death, and the flow of the natural order. But here in the game, there are two serpentine snakes, indicating a divine amalgamation. Thus, speculations suggest that Zelda becoming Hylla is highly plausible in the version of the game.

An endless cycle of divine reincarnation and transformation can ensue, and this would go round and round. That is, the current Zelda can transform into Hylia, and later the same circle repeats again and again.

So, the game might be a spiritual end to the Legend of Zelda, but more games can form with similar ideologies. Moreover, if Zelda and Hylia are the same, their divine origin is yet to be known. All these hidden details can form a future game, and it will highly depend on the studio and the fans of how the Legend of Zelda is treated in the future.
