Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are two rare Zelda games that take place in the same version of Hyrule, complete with the same map, the same NPCs, and even the same horses! Tears of the Kingdom modified the map and story enough to stand on its own, without Breath of the Wild. But as more time passes since I finished this masterpiece of a game, the more I really do not want to say goodbye to…

During my first play through of Tears of the Kingdom, I took a headfirst dive into the chasm by Kakariko Village, just expecting to fall into a small underground area of some sort. Boy was I wrong. I was absolutely flabbergasted that an entire mirror of Hyrule was lurking beneath the surface. Discovering that was an insane moment of gaming I’ll never forget!

When I finished the Wind Temple in Tears of the Kingdom, I was enthralled by the fact that a piece of Zelda lore was making a return in this newest entry to the series: Sages. I loved the addition of making the new Champions Sages in this game. It felt like a callback to some of my favorite titles like Ocarina of Time and A Link Between Worlds.

Breath of the Wild had two separate releases of DLC,…

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is freshly released into the wild (pun intended). And I, like many players and long-time fans of the series, have noticed many easter eggs from previous games throughout this fantastical new adventure. From the names of regions in this version of Hyrule taking inspiration from previous Zelda games, to classic enemies such as Like Likes and Gibdos making an appearance, to Bomb Flowers returning, this game is filled to the brim with…

Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the Legend of Zelda series, and Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the director of Tears of the Kingdom, recently sat down with Netherlands-based outlet RTL Nieuws to discuss the latest Zelda title and the Zelda series in general. The interview covered a few noteworthy topics, including the potential return of classic Zelda gameplay and the ways the developers approach new ideas.

It is possible the comment section could contain spoilers in both pictures and words. Please click at your own risk. Although Breath of the Wild is one of the bestselling games of all time, many Zelda fans complained at its “pieced together” story, wishing for something a little more linear. I, for one, actually did enjoy the story when it all came together…

About a month ago, the hype for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was real. Theories were discussed, trailers were played on repeat, and preorders were selling out! Now that we’ve been playing for over a month, I have a question for you: Is Tears of the Kingdom everything you wanted it to be? Do you enjoy the story as much as you wanted to? Did you see the improvements that you were longing for in Breath of…

With Tears of the Kingdom having been out for over a month, who knows what information we might be getting tomorrow!
