Clearly this arm has some ties to the Sheikah and their technology, but fans will have to wait until the next trailer releases to potentially glean more about what this arm can do. However, he does not use a Sheikah Slate to activate it, it is instead activated by his newly mechanized arm. If it's tied to Malice, it could be an interesting way to reincorporate Malice into Breath of the Wild 2.Ĭlearly his right arm can channel whatever the green energy is, as seen in the first trailer, but while Link is flying toward one of the new floating islands in Hyrule in the E3 2021 trailer, his right arm is glowing with the same energy, meaning it has some correlation to that ability. Additionally, in another part of the trailer, Link is seen using what appears to be the Stasis rune ability from Breath of the Wild, or a new version of it. Whether this was done to save link from the Malice, or it was done by the Malice is unclear, but it seems this newfound addition to Link's arm allows him to do some interesting things. Link's entire right arm appears to be covered in those metallic bands, with grey markings carrying up from his arm to shoulder. Things get interesting when looking at Link in the actual gameplay sections. Similar metallic bands can be seen around Link's arm and hand as those of the disembodied arm that was holding Ganondorf, though it's unclear if they were transferred from one to the other. Viewers also see what appears to be Link lying on a table not unlike the Shrine of Resurrection - and it appears he's wearing similar shorts to those he is wearing at the start of Breath of the Wild. After something causes the Malice to awaken, Link's right arm get overtaken by Malice. Starting with what is believed to be earliest point in chronological order, Zelda and Link delve into the crypt where (presumably) Ganondorf's body hangs suspended. In the recent E3 2021 gameplay trailer, fans see a lot more of Link and his arm.

In one shot that lasts only a few frames, Link's right hand can be seen glowing, surrounded by the green magic tendrils. In a few of the scenes that were flashed, some tied into Link's new hand. It served as more of a teaser than anything. The structure of the E3 2019 reveal trailer was all over the place, and individual scenes lasted no more than a few frames each. The new The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2gameplay trailer from E3 2021 sheds a different light on Link's arm, and it appears that may be a bigger part the game than fans were anticipating. However, this could just be written off as some effect of the crypt they were in.

He could clearly be seen wielding some sort of strange, green magic. From the first trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, it was clear that something fishy was happening with Link's right arm.
