\nThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an evolution. From the world of 2017’s Breath of the Wild, Nintendo has created something richer and more malleable through a grander story, an expanded map, and the ability to build countless contraptions to torture innocent Koroks. Fifty hours in, I’m yet to even start any story-related adventure, and I’m more interested in dressing Link in cute outfits. Does that make the game good or bad? I have no idea!\n<\/p>\n

\nAs with so many Nintendo games, however, it’s an evolution that comes with a price to pay for many players. Tears of the Kingdom may be a glow-up for Switch-era Hyrule, but fundamentally little has changed in the six years between titles. Which is to say that the game remains, somehow, both accessible and inaccessible at the same time.\n<\/p>\n

These are advancements that may have finally cracked the perceived apathy towards accessibility exhibited by Japanese studios, but that Nintendo continues to ignore.\n<\/p>\n
