For those who don’t know, Wes Ball directed that movie, and will also direct the Zelda movie too. I personally loved this movie, and it made me even more excited for what we can expect…

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom released just over one year ago. Hopefully, that means fans have had enough time to explore the highs and lows of the game, discover most of its secrets, and become experts in Ultrahand!  This title took all of the gifts of its predecessor, and built upon them.
