Here's why The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is big news – even among those who don't see themselves as 'gamers'

So, why is this game such big news – even among those who don’t necessarily see themselves as “gamers”?

Key Points: 
  • So, why is this game such big news – even among those who don’t necessarily see themselves as “gamers”?

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie: don't watch it for the story but for how it successfully represents gameplay

Who is this game for?

    • This game situates itself in the action-adventure genre, but that descriptor only scratches the surface.
    • It offers an unparalleled open world, both in size and detail, and is uniquely able to cater to a huge audience.
    • From the limited game play footage already released, it’s obvious Tears of the Kingdom allows the player to use their critical thinking skills to overcome puzzles their own way.
    • The puzzles around every corner of the kingdom of Hyrule make this game compelling for newcomers and old hands alike.

What is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

    • His task is to save the mythical kingdom of Hyrule by ridding it of the tyrannical overlord Ganon.
    • In the previous game, Link must travel across the kingdom, seeking aid from the diverse species and tribes of the lands to uproot and vanquish Ganon.
    • He can now rewind time, ascend through ceilings, and – most importantly – combine items to create new and exciting weapons or vehicles.

Why was Breath of the Wild such a, well, game-changer?

    • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild caused genre-defining waves when it was released in 2017, forcing many to rethink what an open world game is.
    • Most open world games at the time featured much more linear narratives, forcing players to experience the world one small area after another.
    • This denies players from the freedom and choice Breath of the Wild relishes in.
    • At its core, Breath of the Wild allows you to do what you want, when you want, without forcing you down a particular path.

What do we know so far about Tears of the Kingdom?

    • Using the new “fuse” ability, you can combine a weapon with items found throughout the game to create new possibilities.
    • The new “ultrahand” feature allows you to combine a huge variety of vehicle components and in-game objects to create vehicles.
    • This allows player to apply knowledge from the real world and the game world to come up with creative solutions.
