Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are both fantastic games - and Tears of the Kingdom really does feel (to me) like they just took Breath of the Wild, and added a few more years of dev time to it.
Where do you think Nintendo will take Zelda from here though? Can they keep with the same new formula? Should they? Will a more traditional game feel disappointing after this?
I don’t really know what I want myself. I think they should try something different though. At the same time, I can’t help but think I’d be disappointed if the next game was more similar to something like Twilight Princess. Have they boxed themselves in?
That’s it exactly. I thought it might be something along those lines, since there is obviously a solution they intended with the way the room is set up. But ultimately, after finnicking around with it for a minute or so, it just dawned on me that lifting it and rewinding time would just be way quicker and more direct, so that’s what I did. The way this game is able to accommodate multiple solutions is a thing of beauty.
