Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Must Learn These Lessons From It’s Predecessors for a Massive Launch

With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom making its way into shops next month, Nintendo is getting their fans ready for its release with a new trailer. They also announced a Switch OLED coming prior to the game to build up interest in the public for the game. Nintendo is expecting this game to have, if not more, the same level of success as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

But famous video game YouTuber Arlo has pointed out what elements Tears of the Kingdom needs to have to be a successful game.

YouTuber shares his views on Tears of the Kingdom

Arlo talked about the game turning more into a sandbox rather than an action-adventure game. Nintendo team is making the game more open-world and experiment-friendly. This, he believes, will drive hardcore Zelda fans away.

He proposed a remedy to this problem by stating that the new sequel needs a better structure. The issue with Breath of the Wild was that it allowed players to do anything, even directly challenge Ganon. Breath of the Wild had four major dungeons and shrines, but making them an optional task made them lose their charm.

Tears of the Kingdom should learn from the mistakes of its predecessor and add some quests that should be necessary to proceed in the game. He stated dungeons should be in ample amounts in Tears of the Kingdom with more divine beasts.

The upcoming Zelda installment needs more storytelling

Expanding on how to make the game more appealing, he said to add more elements of the story along with the quests happening. The whole story of Breath of the Wild revolved around incidents told minimally. If the sequel also has a minimal story, the Zelda game would lose its essence. Adding more stories and characters would be a great way to gain more players. Talking about characters, new characters of Tears of the Kingdom also got leaked recently.

He stated the Fuse ability will cure the weapon breakage curse of Breath of the Wild. But it can only happen if Tears of the Kingdom does not put any restrictions on the ability. With the open world of Hyrule, Fuse ability can be a major turning point in many battles. Even casual players can have fun messing around in the environment with this power as well.

Tears of the Kingdom also need a healing system. Players could heal by just clicking on a menu in Breath of the Wild. It encouraged players to become potion collectors in the prequel. Boss fights were winnable if you had ample consumables, destroying the excitement of defeating the boss at low HP. A way to solve this problem is by allowing a specific number of collectibles.
