Released back in May of this year, fans are still discovering hidden details about Tears of the Kingdom six months later. There have been a lot of great games to keep you busy on the Nintendo Switch this year, includingFire Emblem Engage,Metroid Prime Remastered, andPikmin 4, but none are quite as beloved as Link’s latest open-world adventure - it is after allthe fastest-selling Zelda game in history.
One of the highlights of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s release is seeing players' creations using Link’s new Ultrahand and Fuse abilities. Some have been impressive likethe controllable mechand theStar Wars-inspired Podracerwhereas others have been extremely cursed like theskeleton planeand all of theKorok torture devices.
“Tears of the Kingdom sets a standard for immersive gameplay that most major games don’t eventryto achieve, let alone match. So yes, though almost intimidatingly big at times, Tears of the Kingdom manages to keep focus and provide a rich, robust experience that builds on what came before.”

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
