The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom turned some of its strangest little distractions into memorable parts of exploring Hyrule, and that concept has been turned into a brand-new Legend of Zelda game. Not every memorable moment involved a massive dungeon, a difficult boss, or one of the game's bigger story beats. Sometimes it was simply stumbling across something odd in the wilderness and realizing there was an entire side activity waiting to be discovered. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's open world was particularly good at turning those small encounters into reasons to keep wandering.
That no doubt contributed to the ultimate reception of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, even among its counterparts. The franchise is one of those where there's not a single bad game, like there's no such thing as a bad Legend of Zelda game across the entire franchise (except Legend of Zelda 2), and that's proven by reviews. Tears of the Kingdom sits at a 96 Must-Play Metascore on Metacritic, and one of its little moments has been turned into a full game.
