There are dozens of activities to do in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but with more than a year gone by since the title's release, Nintendoit's time to explore some of its most unexplained mysteries. That's what YouTuber Any Austin has decided to do with the rivers of Hyrule.
The content creator has already thoroughly researched all the streams in Skyrim and now it's the turn of the open world. Starting from the central plateau of the map, he advances with Link along a river to discover its mouth, which ends in a huge lake. Since it seems strange to him, he performs the same process with another pair of rivers and reaches the first conclusion that no river has an outlet to the seaapparently.
The connection between fresh and salt water should be made at some point in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdombut it simply doesn't happen. On the other hand, Lake Hylia is presented as another of the key points where there is a huge whirlpool of water, which is responsible for draining the flow of liquid into underground caves. And that is another of the most interesting details.
And the origin of the rivers of Hyrule is also uncertain, as Austin detects that he Eastern reservoir in Zora region is one of the main sources of water. Also, many rivers begin in caves and underground springs, so the diversity is evident. As if that weren't enough, he found that, in one way or another, all the rivers in the video game are connected to each other by the same caves that can't be seen on the surface.
Obviously, the logic behind the hydrographic system of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom It doesn't have to be real, but it's still interesting to spend time on these types of aspects of the title.
