The second reveal trailer of Tears of the Kingdom was pretty disappointing, as it didn’t reveal anything about the story. Finally, the latest trailer for the Zelda sequel showed us what is to be expected from the game. And the amount of old returning faces has got the fans excited.

The trailer opened up with Link cruising around Hyrule, giving us glimpses of the kingdom. The trailer also features many returning allies of Link. We also seen him teaming up with these allies to fight constructs with them.

What surprised fans the most was the three-headed dragon. Fans have started speculating it is Gleeok, the main antagonist of the first Zelda series.
