The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom Lives Up to The Massive Hype

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:15:39 GMT

Link’s latest adventures in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom (TOTK) are everything we were waiting for. The game has proven a roaring international hit. One common phrase often seen across social media in the past two weeks since the launch is the idea that Breath of The Wild, Zelda’s previous foray on Nintendo’s Switch when the system launched, almost feels like a beta version of what we ended up with in TOTK. How wild is it to call a game that went on to sell 30 million copies since and win a ton of awards a beta test?

Since the first one dropped in 1987, its raving fan base has always wondered what would be next for the franchise that often served with Super Mario Brothers as a flagship game that showed off the capab...

Main St., is run by JB Balingit and other folks at the Hideout Kitchen in Lafayette.

Once we reopened, we wanted to just focus on guests getting the best experience possible, and ...
