In the age of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, unconventional solutions to problem-solving are the name of the game. Director Hidemaro Fujibayashi told Game Informer in a 2023 interview that one of the goals in the development of the open world Zelda games was to create obstacles for the player where “there are many answers to a single problem, and all of them can potentially be correct.” So, the player will have a variety of tools…

If there was one thing you could change about Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, what would it be? While this question would certainly draw a wide range of answers derived from a multitude of different playing experiences, it would be surprising if one of the top answers wasn’t weapon durability. Even among fans, weapon durability is a common complaint and for an understandable reason; it inconveniences the player. In a game built on the principles of…

The internet loves a good hot take. All year round, whether you frequent Facebook, Reddit, Bluesky, or the website formerly known as Twitter, users are always ready to share their most controversial or contrarian opinions on just about any given topic. If an unpopular opinion would likely prompt an angry mob to point a dozen swords at your face or chain you in the center of crowded coliseum, you know that your average netizen will swiftly and smugly share it…

Ever since I saw the beautiful underwater foliage in Breath of the Wild, my imagination ran rampant with possibilities. If Breath of the Wild was able to expand the lands of Hyrule so much as opposed to past games, imagine what it would be like underwater! When the “sequel to Breath of the Wild” was announced, I was ecstatic, because I explored nearly every inch of Breath of the Wild. Raking in 135 hours of gameplay, I completed every possible…

At the time of this writing, the current Tears of the Kingdom completion record is 40mins and 57 seconds, according to Speedrun.com. I’m fairly sure I was still accidentally leaping off structures on the Great Sky Island and forgetting I didn’t have my Paraglider at that point! I know the rest of us take a little longer, so at what point do you decide your game is “complete”, and the time has sadly come to start playing something else? Many people…

It’s a logical leap for a franchise known for its intricate puzzles to have a series of complementary jigsaws. As someone who always has a puzzle on the table as a work-in-progress, I will eventually run out of Zelda-themed ones. Gorgeous designs from The OP Games/USAopoly, Winning Moves, and Ravensburger are only several makers known for making Zelda puzzle — this doesn’t even include the vast sea of fan-made jig-saws. Last year, USAopoly gave fans a stunning 1,000-piece Tears of…

Since the Super Smash Bros. series started back in 1999 on the N64, The Legend of Zelda has been an integral part of the games. In the subsequent installments on every Nintendo console generation since then (plus the 3DS handheld), additions of various forms paying tribute to The Legend of Zelda saga have been integrated to widen and deepen the experience of fans. Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube saw the inclusion of three more fighters with the combo…

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the Four Swords manga and Four Swords games. The multiplayer Zelda games are less story-rich than their solo-campaign counterparts. Some would argue that the original Four Swords contained barely a story at all. Instead, the game put all of its Rupees in the gameplay Wallet. Four Swords Adventures went many steps further, but was it enough?  Akira Himekawa, the pen name for the writing and illustrating duo for the Zelda mangas, faced this challenge…

As we encroach on Tears of the Kingdom’s first anniversary, there is no better time to celebrate its monumental wins than now. After winning IGN’s Game of the Year, Best Action/Adventure Game at The Game Awards and D.I.C.E., Link and Zelda should be flying higher than the Great Sky Island. Tears also received BAFTA nominations and Game Informer recognition as a top game of the year. This isn’t even an exhaustive list, but it’s time to add another medal to…
