Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Has Link Humming Classic Tunes As He Cooks

He better do the song of storms!

Details like these always assures you some real time, money and effort was put into the production. Very much appreciated.

Which ones? Any hope for the Temple theme from Zelda II?

I noticed he was humming actually songs from the series when he was cooking. Very cute detail!

I noticed this yesterday. The sound design overall is much improved from BotW. The very beginning is really atmospheric and haunting not only due to its claustrophobic narrow hallways but the sounds and music associated with it. I also like the new sounds they've added to old enemies.

sorta spoilers- with the music on the ship in the Hebra storm, there were parts that sounded like the song they sing in Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

There's a few I haven't been able to place, but the main theme and Wind Fish's Ballad have been my favorite so far.

Not sure if he only sings the Song of Storms while is raining, or if I've just had impeccable timing.

Such a nice little touch.

Should you be putting spoilers in your headlines?

Some of us who haven’t started the game want to enjoy it to the fullest and discover things like this for ourselves.

Describing game elements in headlines is discourteous and unprofessional, and will lose you readers.

This game is just wondrous, it’s overwhelming the amount of things happening, shocks and surprises everywhere

These types of articles are like the ten second looping tiktoks that explain a single Easter egg.

I wish you guys would put these types of news, which is literally just a message board post, in a separate section.

Fusing a mine cart to a shield and making a skate board is my fave thing in the game!

@GrailUK now add rockets and fans to it, and you can be like Marty mcfly

This is a really cool idea. Hopefully he is humming the ballad of the windfish too. Please do not spoiler me.

@Mojo292 I bet you are a lot of fun at parties

Face Shrine theme please!

There are lots of neat Easter eggs throughout the game.

I am having such a blast with this game.

I loove this. Too bad the cooking jingle is so loud that I usually can't make out want Link is humming.

One of the first things I noticed since during early game I am essentially a walking vending machine (cooking everything. Food to eat and food to sell). So many little touches in this game.

@Mojo292 If you're that sensitive to "spoilers" then you shouldn't be online right now. First off, this isn't a spoiler. Second, the way you choose to approach a game is your responsibility. You're like the vegan who asks the neighbor to close their window when cooking meat so you don't have to smell it. Jumping on a Nintendo website the week of a major release and getting upset about something like this is pretty funny and unrealistic.

So what you are saying is that this is...A Link to the Past?

....I'll see myself out.

I can’t wait to start this my partner had a baby 1 week ago so with bringing home the little one and having lots of visitors my copy is still sealed !

Going to get it installed today and hopefully start making some progress when i can grab and hour or two the switch being pick up and play and start from where i left off is going to be invaluable to me for the next few months if I want to carry on gaming

Confirmation of a shared universe with Luigi's Mansion!
Luigi humming his theme song in LM was such a neat touch. Cool it's here too.

So many little moments that just make me smile in this game. It’s absolutely brilliant. I was worried they wouldn’t be able to capture that same sense of wonder that I got from BotW but they’ve done it.

@Wheatly I had the same concerns but they’ve quickly dissipated for me the more that I’ve played. There’s so much added to the world and so much changed that it’s just exciting to revisit it all to see what’s new. Add the sky on top that and it’s overwhelming to think how much new stuff there is to explore.

@Actionhank89 Well, it’s ages since I last went to a party attended by the kind of people who insult random strangers online. They usually only serve jelly and ice cream at such events.

This is great. What blew my mind, however, was getting to my first stable, and realising my horses from BOTW were there, ready and waiting to be used!!!

thanks for ruining the game

@NewAdvent I don't know what your mean by native Switch game, but it may not count for BotW because it's a Wii U game originally but later ported to Switch for a combined release. That's why Links pad looks like a Wii U in BotW and a Switch in TotK.

@Picola-Wicola That was an awesome surprise! Sadly I restarted my BotW save file a while ago and didn’t get too far into it, would have loved to have had my horses from my original run 😢

@larryisaman oh no, that is a shame! As well as being a lovely surprise, it’s really useful having those 3 extra horses with all their stats and alterations from BOTW.

Very nice, but I do wish things like this would be kept under wraps for those only just receiving their copy. I don't want all those magic moments spoilt by reading dozens of headlines, so maybe consoldiate them into compilations and try not to give too much away in a headline. I realise this is a minor thing in this case, but I want to keep visting your awesome site without fear of spoilers during these next few weeks ^_^

Yea I noticed this the first time I was cooking. Iv recognized about every song he hums. Very fun detail.

That's an awesome thing, man, thanks for the heads up. I had been skipping the humming because I assumed it would be the same sound used in BOTW
