Tears of the Kingdom: The Final Analysis
Part 11
Part 10 here
A monster chases Link in Skyrule, with a glowing purple mouth and eyes. It splashes through the otherwise-rock-solid ground as if it's mud.
Blue sparks are still flying around the area, and there's a block of luminous stone up at the top of this isle over here.
And the lower part of this island doesn't have the blocky, dirty look the golden forest isles have. A sky dungeon? The City in the Sky from the very beginning of the trailer seems a likely candidate.
This thing looks about as big compared to Link as a guardian, and it burrows back into the ground just as easily as it emerged.
I backed up a few frames to get a better look at it—it has fins along its sides, and doesn't appear to have any feet to walk around with. Defeating it means you'll need to draw it out of the ground and stun it, just like a molduga.
The next shot has Link and Tulin diving alongside each other. Tulin carries a Swallow Bow.
This is important for when we see him later.
At last, we get to Mystery Girl. Lovely, sweet Mystery Girl. At first glance, I thought she was Zelda, however, let's do a quick comparison:
Here we have Zelda in the same position, so we can minimize any POV differences.
Mystery Girl's ears are much longer, and lack any kiknd of curve to their edge.
They're much more like Skyward Sword Zelda, in that regard.
Mystery Girl's eyes, while the same color, are more narrow and slightly more angular along their lower and inner edges. Her eyebrows are thinner, and her lashes are longer.
Her nose is much more aquiline than Zelda's turned-up button nose.
This is more clearly seen from the back of the Japanese TotK download card, if you'll forgive the low quality.
And, in regards to TotK Zel's design:
Zel has one tear while Mystery Girl has four.
She lacks any sort of markings on her neck.
As well as on her right shoulder.
And while they both appear to be carrying the same tear in its upright position, they have different necklaces holding them in place. In short; I think everything lines up for these two to be different, albeit related characters.
Moving on, the tear glows as Mystery Girl powers up her beam. It's powering up, if not outright causing, the light magic that follows. However, that same glow looks very similar to the one we saw earlier.
It's the same shade of yellow, with the same particle effects surrounding it.
And then this bit here-
Looks both like Hylia's crest, and like the crest on the front of the Spirit Tracks train.
In favor of Hylia, it has a similar angle to its feathers, as well as a detached central diamond-like piece. However, the Spirit Tracks emblem has two feathers on either side, plus an inverted triangle at its top.
When she casts her beam, we can see the white stone of the structure she's standing on, with some pine trees in the back.
Partnering that with the moldugas she blasts into oblivion, we can pretty safely say that she stands just in the cold zone of the Gerudo Highlands.
And her beam blasts FAR. Look how high it goes into the distance there!
You can only barely see it among the dark pixels, but that's the cliff edge. That's how high up and far away she is. This isn't just fighting off monsters, this is a show of sheer power.
Also, take a look at this rock here. That's not Gerudo sandstone. Are the moldugas trying to leave the desert?
We next see Riju pulling off Urbosa's Fury. She spins around, carrying Urbosa's own blades, then-
BAM. Lightning.
Out of images again, Part 12 coming up!
