Games Inbox: Tears Of The Kingdom as the best Zelda, Mass Effect TV, and Super Mario Bros. Super Bowl

Game Studios. So we’ve all seen the by now and unfortunately it doesn’t really tell us much that we didn’t already know.

It could well be the last one before launch and if it is I agree with the reader who said that this must mean Nintendo has secrets about it that it’s trying to keep. I’d love if one of these was that you but I don’t see anything so far that’s hinted at that.

I also don’t know why Nintendo would want to keep it secret, rather than advertise it as a selling point.Metal Gear Solid 2 was kept a secret but I think a lot of people would’ve bene upset if they knew they were playing as Raiden 90% of the time. I don’t think many would be upset to find you get to play as Zelda, as it’s clear from the trailer that Link is in it a lot as well.There’s not much to go on but so far I see little evidence of any Majora’s Mask style twist on the last game, in terms of taking the basic ingredients and making something completely different with it.

If Tears Of The Kingdom is basically just more of Breath Of The Wild, either a little bit better or a little bit worse, can it really be said to be the best Zelda ever?What, in fact, will it need to be considered better than Breath Of The Wild? If they just take out weapon degradation will that be enough for most people? It won’t be for me, I have to say, but at this stage I really don’t know what to expect from the game or its critical reception. Interesting Nintendo Direct the other day, the whole thing had a bit of a ‘clearing the decks’ air about it when it comes to the release schedule.
