The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has undoubtedly lived up to the immense hype surrounding its release. Fans have been eagerly anticipating this game for the past five years, and it has not disappointed. Its success can be attributed to the remarkable creativity of its playerbase, who have taken advantage of the Ultrahand ability to create a wide range of structures for mobility, self-defense, and puzzle-solving. While the game's previews only showcased basic watercraft and ground vehicles, players have gone above and beyond to produce some truly impressive designs. However, the game currently lacks an in-game feature for sharing these creations with others, which could potentially attract even more players to the game.
Community Creations are a Highlight of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
After the release of Tears of the Kingdom, fans eagerly speculated about how the game would continue the thrilling adventure of Breath of the Wild. Some fans focused on the introduction of new supporting characters, while others were curious about the implementation of new gameplay mechanics. However, the most exciting aspect of the game turned out to be the Ultrahand ability. Social media platforms like Twitter and TikTok were quickly inundated with posts from TotK players who were thrilled to explore the unprecedented freedom offered by this feature. From creative Korok torture devices to functioning war machines, these posts showcased the players' twisted sense of humor and their willingness to push the limits of the game. Despite not all of these creations being helpful in the fight against darkness, they have certainly expanded the excitement for the game beyond its initial hype. This free publicity should serve as motivation for the developers to introduce new features in TotK in the future.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Needs a Community Creation Sharing Tool
Allowing players to share their custom creations in Tears of the Kingdom could be the key to attracting even more players. For those who have been hesitant to try the game, being able to test out the intricate and impressive designs from the Zelda community could be the final push they need to join in on the fun. This feature would also benefit those who are less artistically inclined, as they can still enjoy the intricate creations made by others as long as they have the necessary materials. While some fans may not be fond of the added online functionality, it could ultimately bring the Zelda community even closer together. Despite the Switch's hardware limitations, TotK has been a polished and optimized experience with a successful core gameplay mechanic. With the endless possibilities of Ultrahand, the Zelda community will likely continue to push boundaries and share their creations on social media. While it may be unlikely for Nintendo to add a feature that requires online functionality, the idea of testing out other community creations is undeniably exciting.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available now on Nintendo Switch.
