Random Zelda: TOTK Player Beats All Regional Phenomena Quests Without The Paraglider
No glider, no problems
If you cast your mind back to Breath of the Wild, you might remember that getting hold of the paraglider was essential to leaving the Great Plateau and progressing with the game (though there were some ways around this). Tears of the Kingdom, by comparison, has no such barrier and if you choose not to follow the direction that...

Random Zelda: TOTK Players Build Cucco Traps For An Easy Way To Farm Eggs
The plot chickens
It didn't take long for the good Zelda fans of the world to set their sites on the Koroks when Tears of the Kingdom was released a few weeks ago, and now, after countless times of watching these little guys getting rocketed, burnt, blown up or otherwise 'oof'-ed, it seems that the community has set its sights on another target.

Talking Point Is Tears Of The Kingdom The Scariest Zelda Game Ever?
The horrors of Hyrule
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is pretty darn scary. I don't mean in the same sense that Majora's Mask is unsettling for its whole run-time, and there certainly isn't a moment like that cutscene in Twilight Princess. But even now with my ridiculously overpowered, full hearts Link, Tears of the Kingdom has me on the...
