Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the latest release in the Zelda franchise and a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild, which is one of the best games of all time. The game has introduced new building tools, which have been highlighted in recent trailers. The new building tools provide a lot of creative problem-solving and thrilling traversal in this ambitious sequel.
The hands-on demonstration of the game was composed of two parts. The first part involved getting past some enemies and into a tower. One could use the straightforward approach of using a sword and challenging the enemies to combat. The second attempt was made by using the new building tools to circumvent the enemies altogether. The Ultrahand ability can grab anything that is not connected to the ground. This ability can be used to build a small hot-air balloon, which can be used to glide past the enemies.
The second part of the demonstration took place in the Sky Islands, with more open-ended goals and a massive amount of space to explore. The streamlined building tool was still available, and the Zonai parts distributor provided Zonai machine components like fans, fire-breathing dragon head machines, rockets, and control yoke Zonai parts.
The Ultrahand building tool is easy to use, and the tool lets you snap to certain angled degrees. Symmetry equals stability, and the game helps lock the second rocket at the same angle as you placed the first. The game provides a little help locking the designs, which are often perfectly functional, with minimal control-fussing.
The tools could be used to solve puzzles, which is a classic feature of Zelda games. The puzzles are physics-based, but the solutions feel intuitive, giving the satisfaction of finding complicated but “correct” ways. The puzzles are open-ended, allowing the player to find their own solutions to the puzzles. The puzzles require creative problem-solving and experimentation, which is enjoyable.
Combat in the game is as engaging as the sequel to Breath of the Wild, and the Fuse ability adds a new dimension of experimentation. The Ultrahand and Fuse are massive toy boxes, and the game encourages players to try different combinations just to see what happens.
The demo showed off the massive scope and versatility in just a few small areas, and there is a lot of mystery left to uncover. The game includes absolutely no story content, no exploration of any shrines, and there is no information on whether Tears of the Kingdom will include more traditional Zelda dungeons.
The new building tools provide an incredible amount of creative problem-solving and thrilling traversal in this ambitious sequel. The game is set to launch on May 12, and the community of Zelda fans will get to explore its depths together. Tears of the Kingdom is Nintendo inspired by its own fans’ creativity, and next month, that cycle will start all over again.
