New 'The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom' Gameplay ... (Forbes)

I am talking about how the game literally looks, its visual fidelity. And while Breath of the Wild was held up as an example back in 2017 as a game that ...

Its games are megahits regardless, the Switch is crushing its console competition in terms of sales. It’s true that Tears certainly looks better than some other Switch exclusives in this footage, namely recent Pokemon games which are eye-gougingly terrible, but I do think we’ve long passed a line where the Switch’s ancient hardware, which was already dated when it debuted, is now actively detracting from its games, and we badly need to see a true hardware update, if not a fully new console at this point. Yes, you can argue visuals don’t matter much when it comes to Nintendo hits, but man, wouldn’t it be nice if they were just…a lot better than this? If there have been visual improvements made since 2017, I’m not sure I saw any in this footage. Yes, I do understand the argument that Nintendo is in a league of its own where visuals almost don’t matter. I am talking about how the game literally looks, its visual fidelity.

Unless you get really lucky and find one of these out in the world, you’re going to have to try to get pre-order these accessories if you want to avoid paying absurd third-party seller prices for the privilege of owning them. Of course, that’s assuming that they’re lucky enough to beat all the scalpers and pre-order one, that is. It wouldn’t be a modern new Zelda game release without a ton of special edition accessories, and Nintendo is certainly pulling out all the swag stops for Tears of the Kingdom.

Pushing Buttons: I've just seen Tears of the Kingdom gameplay for ... (The Guardian)

In this week's newsletter: From meat arrows to makeshift dinghies, the follow-up to one of the best games ever somehow got more creative.

[it’s a city-building game](https://store.steampowered.com/app/323190/Frostpunk/) where you’re in charge of a civilisation brought low by a global freeze. [reports VGC](https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ubisoft-has-pulled-out-of-e3-2023/), deciding to hold its own event instead – and I am starting to hear whispers that the whole thing may be called off. I really liked how it was grappling not just with the enormity of the practical solutions, but creating the social acceptance to implement them, and also how to balance limited funding between competing regions and needs.” [I loved it,](https://www.theguardian.com/games/2023/mar/23/dredge-review-horrors-lurk-in-the-deep-in-this-eldritch-fishing-game) and played it nonstop for days. Something is corrupting the ocean, and as you bring in your catches, improve your boat and explore further, you are drawn into a compelling and sparsely-written horror-tinged mystery story. (Fun fact: Ultrahand, the name of Link’s object-manipulating power in Tears of the Kingdom, is a reference to [this 1960s Nintendo grabber toy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Hand) designed by Gunpei Yokoi, who would later invent the Game Boy.) He can even swim through rock, diving into the ceiling of an underground cave in order to appear at the top of a hill. Some fans have expressed disappointment that Tears of the Kingdom looks so similar to its predecessor; the Switch’s tech wasn’t cutting-edge even in 2017, and is now really showing its age, especially when you see games on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X now. Shipwrecked on the rocks near a small fishing town, you are given a run-down boat, sent out to catch cod, mackerel and squid, and warned to be back before dark. Aonuma showed Link tracking down a piece of fallen rock on the surface, then using a time-reversing power to ride it back up to the island above. [in a video presentation yesterday](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6qna-ZCbxA) – and now I’m sold. And with it arrived The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which casually redrew the blueprint of open-world games, replacing repetitive missions and box-ticking busywork with a genuine sense of wonder and discovery. In Tears of the Kingdom, floating islands hover above Hyrule’s familiar terrain, and you can move freely between the sky-kingdom above and the grassland, rivers and forests below.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Should Really Let the Cat Out of The Bag (Game Rant)

Breath of the Wild taunted players by not letting them pet dogs, so The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom should fix that while adding cats.

Only time will tell if more cute and cuddly creatures are added to Tears of the Kingdom, and if Link will finally be able to pet them. [Shiekah Slate will return in Tears of the Kingdom](https://gamerant.com/zelda-tears-of-kingdom-link-arm-sheikah-slate-replacement-magic/), the Hyrule Compendium should still be expanded upon. [Breath of the Wild's dogs](https://gamerant.com/breath-wild-every-dog-location-treasures/) since the game came out, and there really isn't a good reason for it not to be a feature. While the tone of the story was overall melancholic and dark, the cute and happy moments were just as memorable. The best games have a balance between the dark moments and the light, and that's where Twilight Princess gets it right. This feature was forgotten about after Skyward Sword, but as Tears of the Kingdom appears to be bringing back monsters, mechanics, and items from the past, being able to pet and pick up cute animals should make a comeback too.

Here's where to buy Zelda "Tears of the Kingdom" Nintendo Switch OLED limited edition console, as the sequel to "Breath of the Wild".

What is The Legend of Zelda: The Tears of the Kingdom about? It’s like Nintendo made its own Elden Ring by way of Zelda, and I have a feeling we’re all going to happily give up a good chunk of our spring and summer figuring out all the neat new things we can do.” This game looks like it’s combining Breath of the Wild’s openness with the infinite possibilities of Tears of the Kingdom’s new abilities. The Tears of the Kingdom is a direct follow-up to the critically acclaimed Breath of the Wild on March 3, 2017. We don’t know for sure yet, but if the 10-minute-long video presentation is anything to go by, this is going to be a very good game indeed.
