A recent issue of Famitsu contained a feature in which it published the results a player survey on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. A bunch of questions were answered, and fans voted on topics such as their favorite character, weapon, area in the game, and more. Results were based on feedback from 1,290 people, though some didn’t respond to every question.
When the survey was being conducted, 67.7% of survey participants said they beat Tears of the Kingdom, but 32.3% haven’t yet – those numbers should be very different today. 77.2% played 100 hours or more, 11.9% played between 50 and 100, 4.9% were between 30 and 50, 2.8% were between 10 and 30, 2.3% were between 1 and 10, and 0.9% played less than an hour.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom builds on the mechanics and world of Breath of the Wild, but there are some elements that are absent such as the Sheikah Towers and Guardians. In their place are things like the Skyview Towers and new types of enemies we didn’t see in the previous title. But what happened to the Sheikah tech in Breath of the Wild anyway?
Hidemaro Fujibayashi, who was the director on Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild, offered up an explanation in an interview with The Telegraph. He explained that the Sheikah technology simply disappeared – which the people of Hyrule apparently saw. However, Fujibayashi said “it is considered a mystery.”

Coming off of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you might be curious as to where the game fits into the series’ overall timeline. Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the game’s director, was asked about that very topic in an interview with Famitsu.
The outlet pointed out how Skyward Sword was previously the start of things with Breath of the Wild happening at the end of the timeline. However, as players know, Tears of the Kingdom also touches on Hyrule’s founding. Given that, he was asked if it could also be the beginning.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devs on using original ideas and not copying other games

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.
FromSoftware previously said that when the studio was developing Elden Ring, it was influenced by various titles including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, it sounds like the team at Nintendo was too busy to play that game – or at least that goes for the developers at the top.
