Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devs on the game’s dungeons
Posted on 12 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Dungeons have been a staple of the Zelda series, and they’re back once again in Tears of the Kingdom. However, it sounds like they’ve received an upgrade since the last game, Breath of the Wild.
Director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, technical director Takuhiro Dohta, and art director Satoru Takizawa had a few words to say about the dungeons in a Nintendo interview. One of the more notable aspects is that they were made “unique to their respective environments”, according to Dohta. That’s in contrast to the Divine Beasts in Breath of the Wild that had similar designs. Takizawa said they were challenging to create.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devs on implementing ideas that weren’t possible for Breath of the Wild

The developers behind The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have talked about implementing ideas for the game that weren’t possible for Breath of the Wild. Series director Eiji Aonuma, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, technical director Takuhiro Dohta, and art director Satoru Takizawa commented on this in a new Nintendo interview.
Dohta mentioned how with Breath of the Wild, “there were restrictions in development” since it was originally being made for Wii U. That meant even though the team was interested in flying, that wouldn’t be possible. Also, Aonuma actually wanted to dig underground, but that idea was scrapped as well – but brought back for Tears of the Kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a bit of an outlier for the series in that it’s not only a sequel (to Breath of the Wild), but also reuses the same Hyrule – albeit with many changes and additions. Nintendo has now spoken more about this in a recent interview.
Series director Eiji Aonuma, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, and technical director Takuhiro Dohta confirmed in a recent interview that it was always the plan to reuse Hyrule. Fujibayashi mentioned that “there were no objections” in keeping the same setting.
The comments from Aonuma, Fujibayashi, and Dohta can be found below.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom now has a release date, and although the launch is still a few months off, we’ve started up a pre-order bonus guide. This post will also include information about the collector’s edition and more as that information is provided.
Nintendo doesn’t often do direct follow-ups with Zelda titles, but that’s what we’re seeing here since Tears of the Kingdom builds off of Breath of the Wild. However, it’s not just a simple rehash. We know that the skies will play an important part of the game and Link appears to have different types of powers through the use of his left arm.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom still has about two weeks to go before launch, but spoilers and other leaks of that nature are likely to start today as a copy of the game has been found in the wild.
There’s been talk about the situation on places such as Reddit, 4chan, and Discord. Clips of the game have started to circulate online as well. Unfortunately for Nintendo, their titles tend to leak online before launch, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see many others gain access soon – and that leads to the further possibility of spoilers. Note that we will not be posting any unofficial content here.
