Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devs on using original ideas and not copying other games
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The developers behind The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom didn’t take any inspiration from Elden Ring or any other major titles for that matter. That’s according to Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the game’s director and Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the series.
