Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devs on the game’s dungeons
Posted on 1 year 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.

As part of Nintendo’s latest financial results for May 2023, the company’s latest release schedule has been provided. Fans can get another overview as to what’s planned for Switch from a first and third-party respective.
Currently things are looking a bit barren – this might be the least amount of titles we’ve seen scheduled for Switch in one of these reports.

However, given Switch is towards the end of its lifecycle and how Nintendo doesn’t announce games in its financials these days, perhaps that’s not overly surprising.
Here’s the complete schedule:
