6Where are the Guardians?
InBOTW , Guardians are among the most redoubtable foeman that Link can hit across ; however , without any account , they are nowhere to be found inTOTK . In bitchiness of their absence seizure , there is evidence to suggest that Purah and Robbie are repurposing parts of some Guardians , though this does not account for the total want of any live or deactivated Guardians straw across the map .

3The Zonai
ThoughTOTKanswered many questions regarding the Zonai — many of which emerged at the end ofBOTW — TOTKleaves the question of who and what the Zonai are unanswered . It is bear witness that the Zonai are an ancient race with extremely advanced applied science , but it is never made clear who they are , where they come from , or why they came to ( and afterwards provide ) Hyrule . It is n’t even made clear how many remain or how they created such advanced artifacts . This ambiguity has leave many tospeculate and theorize about the Zonai — speculation that could ’ve been clarified inTOTKDLC .
2How Much Time Passed Between BOTW And TOTK
Though it has been confirmed thatTOTKis a lineal continuation toBOTW , it is not clear how much metre secern the upshot of the two games . There is a great trade of guess regarding this ; however , there is footling consensus , with some theorize a matter of month and others closer to a X . The content included in DLC could have gone a long way to implying or inform players exactly how much time has slip away between the two game , but without definitive sanctioned comment , fans will have to continue discussing and hypothesizing .
1BOTW And TOTK Triforce
Like Link , the Master Sword , and the Hylian Shield , the Triforce is an image of theLegend of Zeldafranchise , which is promptly and wide associate with the series . Although in the old installment , the Triforce was a rather well - codify and generally well - understand prospect of the plot . Like manyZeldagames , the Triforce is of the essence to the finis ofBOTW ; however , it iscompletely absent fromTOTK . DLC could have solved this enormous whodunit or at least provided an account as to why it is not included ; however , owing to the deficiency ofThe Legend of Zelda : binge of the KingdomDLC , this will continue unrequited .
