Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the director of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, has commented on Ganondorf’s new design in the game.

Several technical improvements have been implemented, including better performance. Pop-in has also been reduced among other things.

The full patch notes for the Bramble: The Mountain King update are as follows:

Another tidbit has been shared about the debut sales for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this time for France. We’re hearing that the game sold roughly 500,000 copies in its first week. Keep in mind that’s only based on physical – Nintendo doesn’t report digital data.

Putting Zelda’s sales into perspective, it sold more than Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet did at release. It also outperformed the launches of Red Dead Redemption II and the latest FIFAs, which have been popular in the region.
