This ask the developer was focused on the upcoming Tears Of The Kingdom game

Source: www.nintendo.co.uk

All five parts are now available for your viewing pleasure. As usual, each part goes over many questions you may have about the game and gives you some insight into why certain decisions were made for this game. These ask the developer interviews always make for a great read and knowing the developers thoughts really sheds a different light on things. I will now briefly summarise each part of this volume.

Part 1 is about the background of the game and the team behind it. As well as that, it also goes over the music of Tears of the Kingdom a little bit with mentions of in game audio enhancements compared to Breath of the Wild. 

Part 2 goes over the changes that have been made to the gameplay and world of the game. Link's appearance is also highlighted here, with his arm being a key distinguisher from his look in the previous game. 

Part 3 then goes on to talk about the different challenges the team were faced with during development of this title. Dungeons are also mentioned in this part, with them being more like traditional ones but with a expanded scope.

Part 4 goes into what makes this game "Zelda-like" and more than just a typical sequel. Links new abilities in the game are spoken about alongside this.

Part 5 ends off the interview with some talk about the game's freedom and how it encourages creativity. Aonuma also mentions what he would like fans to pay attention to when they are playing. 


Tears of the Kingdom, from the time of posting this, is less than 24 hours away and I couldn't be more excited for it. Nintendo's twitter accounts have been positing daily screenshots with new information as well as clips showing off new mechanics in the game. So, if you want to see a bit more before release, make sure you check out @NintendoUK and @ZeldaOfficialJP.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

The game is currently available on both PS4 and PC. This title is sort of a reboot of the series with it taking a different direction from the traditional hack and slash formula of the original God of War games. I haven't played any of the other God of War games so this has been my introduction into the series. I have wanted try this series for a while, as I have seen good things about it. So, starting with this reboot felt like a great entry point. With that said though, let's get into my thoughts. ~ Positives ~ let's go over the positives first. To start with, the story of the game is good. This game's story is all about fulfilling a last wish, though there are many road blocks the main characters must face along the way. As I was playing I found myself intrigued to find out what would happe
