GBU Reviews - Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom

Tears of the Kingdom is the evolution of Breath of the Wild. The series has changed its core aesthetics of play!

Another episode of GBU reviews where I'll break down the good things I like, the bad things that need work, and suggest some ugly, back of the napkin solutions that I would have tried if I were on the design team.
