Zelda's Tears of the Kingdom: A Sequel with a Deeper Meaning

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to the critically acclaimed Breath of the Wild, is set to become one of the best-selling titles on the Nintendo Switch. The game offers players a free-roaming roleplaying experience with a vast canvas for storytelling, allowing them to explore the visually stunning lands of Hyrule. The overwhelmingly positive critical reaction will be a relief for Nintendo bosses, especially as it legitimately shifts the focus of coverage in the gaming press away from potential new hardware and on to the game. The success of Tears of the Kingdom is likely to take attention away from the lack of a new Nintendo console in 2023.
