Spoiler Warning: The comments section in this article may contain spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tears of the Kingdom has officially been out for a little over 2 weeks and countless players have already completed the 50-hour main storyline. Despite this, players can reportedly expect about 175 hours of content if they seek to 100% complete the game. With this vast amount of content to discover and with many fans having waited years for this sequel, should…

One of the most uplifting things about release of Tears of the Kingdom is the increased amount of attention that the entire Zelda series is receiving. Whether it is popular outlets like The New York Times or smaller social media channels, it feels like everyone is giving the Zelda series its due as an innovative and influential series. One of the most acclaimed elements of the series is its music, and plenty of musicians across the internet have been creating…

On May 12th, Tears of the Kingdom‘s launch day, the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil woke up with huge replicas of Goddess Hylia statues (as seen in the game and in Breath of the Wild) scattered around at random spots in the city and its countryside. Anyone who thinks these curious appearances are the work of Nintendo’s marketing team for Latin America is very wrong. A group of die-hard fans actually carried out the movement of spreading out these beautiful…

Disclaimers: The following article contains minor gameplay spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom. The interview that is being covered was conducted via translators and was edited by Polygon staff members for clarity. The abilities in Tears of the Kingdom seem quite silly when you simplify them, with one of them being magic, endless green glue that sticks things together. Ultrahand, however, is one of the many ways in which Tears of the Kingdom excels in promoting the freedom of the player….

Disclaimer: This article contains minor spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom The world of journalism is prone to blizzards of misinformation, and the video game industry is easily susceptible to the cold. When new-sites are hard-pressed for headlines that will get them traction, they are prone to read too much into quotes, not check sources, or report on something only for the reason that another news outlet reported on it. There are many instances of this in the Zelda facet…

The album is Cooper’s second major Zelda-focused release, and you can listen to the entire album here. Whether you’re driving in the car (wishing you were playing Tears of the Kingdom) or exploring the vast regions of the game and longing for…

Spoiler Warning: The article below contains minor spoilers for the first couple hours of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is possible the comment section could contain spoilers in both pictures and words. Please click at your own risk. Six years is a long time to wait for a new Zelda game, and if there’s anything Zelda fans love to do, it’s speculate. I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many theories as there were on Tears…

Fans around the world are still exploring Tears of the Kingdom‘s massive map and soaking in every detail of the latest Zelda game. I wouldn’t be surprised if all that time in Hyrule is affecting how we see the world outside the game. I can’t be the only one seeing potential Korok hiding spots out in the real world, right? Nintendo Japan recently announced, via the official Legend of Zelda Twitter account, another way to take Tears of the Kingdom…

Another week down as we continue to make our way through the mammoth game that is Tears of the Kingdom! This week, we’re exploring the Regional Phenomena main quest, with a focus on what’s going on in Rito Village in Hebra and Goron City in Death Mountain! Come hear our thoughts how how we thought those quests progressed, what we thought of the dungeons (albeit, a brief synopsis), how Yunobo changed from Breath of the Wild and why we think…

Weapon durability has been a key topic of discussion for both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. While Skyward Sword introduced some durability and degradation with its shields, Breath of the Wild took the idea of breakable items to an entirely new level. In the 2017 game, every sword, shield, and bow would break after a certain amount of use. Breakable weapons were a point of contention for many fans who did not like losing the powerful…
