10 Awesome Features In Upcoming Video Games We Can't Wait To Use

4. Sky Dungeons & Floating Islands - The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Even though The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is just a few short months away from release, it still feels like there's so, so much we don't know about it.

Case in point, early gameplay footage showed off a series of floating islands above Hyrule, which are of course immediately reminiscent of the floating island of Skyloft from Skyward Sword.

The trailers seem to suggest that players will be able to explore these islands, which could very well contain their own dungeons, only enhancing the series' already pronounced air of verticality.

Accepting that Tears of the Kingdom will need to work damn hard to innovate and improve upon the sublime Breath of the Wild, floating islands is certainly a nifty, attention-grabbing way do it.

At present it remains a mystery precisely how involved these locales will be, but they should ensure that players engage with Hyrule's open world in a starkly different manner.
