Before Tears of the Kingdom came out, a lot of people were talking about how the Triforce might not be in the game at all. The Triforce is a famous and important object in the Legend of Zelda series.

In Tears of the Kingdom, Sidon has replaced his father as the king. Riju and the Rito sisters have also matured noticeably. Beyond the characters, Hyrule itself shows signs of major growth.
