Tears of the Kingdom – Tower Defense?

Sweep over Hyrule! Leave no survivors!

Ganondorf made his mission very clear in the latest trailer and meanwhile Link is building cars out of the mechanical dragon heads. Today I had a thought of how this could come together: maybe you will have some sort of Tower Defense missions within the game, where you have to prevent Ganondorf's servants from attacking a village or something.

If these dragon heads that we saw in the trailers can work autonomously, then this could be something for consideration. You could put them at the entrance to a village for example and they will automatically fry some Bokoblins if they try to enter. Maybe you will be even building your own golems, which will attack enemies on their own. Of course this is not the most original idea, where for example Minecraft has done something similar with its raids, but like with Breath of the Wild it's the combination of different ideas and mechanic that will count in the end.

This could even go hand in hand with the house building feature, which was originally planned for Breath of the Wild, but didn't make the cut. Let's say you can build your own Tarrey Towns now all over Hyrule, then there must be something to keep them safe from enemies.

It will be an ongoing battle of Link trying to repopulate Hyrule and Ganondorf trying to destroy everything. Of course I'm just daydreaming here and there are currently no indications that we're going to build villages and defend them. But it's in the realm of possibilities and after five years of development I'm sure there will be lots of crazy stuff in the game.
