Game Developers Share the Most Mind-Blowing, Inspiring Elements of Tears of the Kingdom
While it’s no graphical power house, The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom still manages big time flex. Arguably the Switch was underpowered at launch 7 years ago so how does TotK pull it all off?
The real magic is under the hood. IGN talks to 5 different developers to get 5 different takes on what seems most impressive:
But developers are able to have an even deeper appreciation for the mastery on display in Tears of the Kingdom because of their own personal experiences with game development. While you or I can rightfully celebrate the game for everything we love about it, there’s something more powerful about hearing praise from folks who know a little bit about what’s actually going on under the hood. For instance, we’ve seen a handful of devs go nuts for the game’s physics engine alone.
