Do you hear that? It's the sound of a thousand fans looking through the tears of the Kingdom trailer for ideas. We and the fanbase believe an old boss might be returning to make things much more difficult for Link. Three times as difficult actually, as the enemy in question is Gleeok.
Gleeok is a multi-headed dragon that appears in several games in the Zelda series. Sometimes the boss will have two heads, or even four, but usually Gleeok runs around with three of them. In the latest Tears of the Kingdom trailer, all three heads are on fire, and a gigantic tail swishes back and forth as it stands ready.
The boss monster first appeared in the original The Legend of Zelda title where Link had to fight them multiple times. Gleeok returns in Oracle of Seasons and appears for the final time in Phantom Hourglass. Since then, Gleeok has ghosted the Zelda series, that is until now. If Gleeok makes their return alongside familiar enemies and possibly Redead in Tears of the Kingdom, where have they been hiding? Perhaps it was beneath the tiny wooden bridge in Breath of the Wild
Gleeok fought by throwing fireballs and ice at Link in previous games. The boss works similarly to a Hydra in that all its heads must be severed and destroyed before it can be defeated. Once the floating heads are free of the body, they float about the area pelting Link with fire.
If it is Gleeok, we will have to wait for the entire tears of the Kingdom release to learn more. In the meantime, the collector's edition is available for pre-order.
