Mastering Tears of the Kingdom: How Zelda Experts are Preparing
Four Zelda content creators and pros have shared how they are preparing for the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The world record-holding speedrunner, Player5, is focusing on Any% speedruns and creating informational videos on Breath of the Wild speedruns and tricks. Streamer Linkus7 is replaying The Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild to study the mechanics, while theory crafter HMKILLER is replaying Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, and Breath of the Wild to tackle the stories, characters, enemies, and more from each title. Speedrunner Gymnast86 is refamiliarizing themselves with the basic game mechanics of Breath of the Wild and studying the internals of how things like drop tables for enemies and cooking work.
