With little more than two months after its release (and in my case with almost 170 hours of gameplay), we can say without a doubt that Tears of the Kingdom met all its really, really high expectations, and not for nothing the title became the fastest-selling in the series history. That is really impressive and heartwarming for us fans. Being an extremely anticipated game that arrived six years after the launch of its acclaimed predecessor, the title quickly generated a…

Okay, let me get this out of the way first: I absolutely love Addison! When I bumped into him for the first time, I immediately understood the kind of help he needed and what I was supposed to do. The fact that he doesn’t quite understand how physics works, combined with his personality, clumsiness and devotion to his boss Hudson makes him, at least for me, an extremely charismatic and funny character. With that being said, I realize that this…

Although The Legend of Zelda is my favorite series by far, it is difficult to say that it presents plurality when it comes to characters who identify as LGBTQ+. Of course, we always have nods toward the possibility of more plural personalities, like flamboyant characters Tingle or Bolson, or even hints of a possible gay crush, as is the case in Tears of the Kingdom. In fact, we even went as far as Link getting into drag to sneak into…

On May 12th, Tears of the Kingdom‘s launch day, the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil woke up with huge replicas of Goddess Hylia statues (as seen in the game and in Breath of the Wild) scattered around at random spots in the city and its countryside. Anyone who thinks these curious appearances are the work of Nintendo’s marketing team for Latin America is very wrong. A group of die-hard fans actually carried out the movement of spreading out these beautiful…

In just three days after its launch, Tears of the Kingdom has already reached the mark of ten million copies sold. The number is not only impressive in itself: the game has become the best seller in The Legend of Zelda series so far. The sheer success of this highly anticipated title was to be expected, but the positive feedback has been overwhelming from fans and critics alike. Several platforms, including the famous and respected Japanese magazine Famitsu, gave their…

When Tears of the Kingdom was announced at E3 2019, there was a lot of speculation on how familiar this new game would feel, given that it’s a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild. Despite the overwhelming success of its predecessor, players found themselves questioning the fact that this new entry in the series uses a map already known and explored before (even if gigantic). As time went by and new (and few) information was released, fans’ concerns were…

If you are anything like me, you also like to dive right in and be one-hundred-percent involved in only one game at a time. I’m not the type of player who can switch between massive titles at once, especially with the Legend of Zelda series. With the little free time that I have, I like to savor first-party titles with priority and with all my dedication and attention. I’ve noticed that in recent weeks I’ve been having a hard time getting…

With less than a month to go before the highly anticipated release of Tears of the Kingdom, the hype and fan expectations couldn’t be higher. Perhaps for being a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild, this new entry has been generating different types of discussions on internet forums. People have very strong opinions about it, as it is not very common for the Zelda series to deliver sequential entries like this. Generally, a game’s direct sequel can be a…

Nintendo recently gifted us with a ten-minute-plus presentation of the legendary Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma playing Tears of the Kingdom. In the gameplay we were able to better understand, even if superficially, the new abilities that Link will have access to in his new adventure through Hyrule, which has now been expanded with islands suspended in the sky. The trailer arrives just over a month before the game’s release, and as with Breath of the Wild, it’s clear that…

Many Mario Kart fans are still resistant to the idea of ​​the series becoming a kind of “Nintendo Kart,” that is, expanding the universe of the racing franchise beyond the Mushroom Kingdom. This “concern” perhaps arose at the time of the launch of Mario Kart 8, which was the first title in the series to introduce characters and tracks from other Nintendo universes: Link from The Legend of Zelda, with his respective track Hyrule Circuit, and Isabelle from Animal Crossing,…
