#unless the stone bird is a rune but I think its related to the paraglider somehow or loftwings

Ok so I had an epiphany while watching the Tears of the Kingdom trailer for the nth time. What if all the rune abilities in this game are powered up versions of the ones on the Shiekah slate. I mean the reverse time ability we see Link using in the trailer is a more powerful version of stasis since that rune just stops time rather then reverse it. The Shiekah slate and the Great Plateau Shrines were ancient by the time we get to BOTW so the runes probably lost some power over the ages. That being said, it’s fun to imagine what the powered up versions of the other runes are. I thought it was possible that the turning Link into liquid ability seen in the previous trailer might be related to Cryonis. Instead of turning water into ice you can turn yourself into water. That might be a stretch but eh. Then there is the bomb rune. I don’t want to say that we are gonna get bombs with just bigger explosions cause that sounds kinda boring. What if we got an ability similar to the bomb mask from Majora’s mask (aka we blow ourselves up and everything around us)? Or maybe we can summon a hail of bombs? Or you know what would be cool but unlikely? Turning objects/enemies into explosives. As for Magnesis, what if we could Jedi summon metal weapons to Link’s corrupted hand? Or what if we could summon metal objects, they stick to the arm, and then we can launch them forwards with extreme force? Huh what if we could launch Bombs like that. They should just let Link shoot fireballs or some type of projectile from his new arm. Anyway, another cool option for Cryonis would be freezing clouds to make them into platforms. I have no clue how that would work but I think it’d be neat (if the water thing isn’t Cryonis) if we could use the upgraded version in the sky in some way. I’m not really sure how they would upgrade the Camera rune. For the sake of fun let’s just say that Link can use his arm as a phone instead of a Camera and call Zelda (where ever she is). And that’s my TOTK ramble.
