Nintendo Betters Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom With the Release of Patch 1.1.1

Published 05/19/2023, 10:10 AM EDT

It’s only been a week since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was released on Nintendo Switch. Even after numerous criticisms, this game quickly became the fastest-selling title in the series.

A game this successful is, according to some, not worthy of its price. While it is indeed a near-perfect game, there are some flaws in it. It appears Nintendo is working pretty hard on fixing these issues. In line with that commitment, a new update recently made its way to this game.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a magnificent game with some really exciting gameplay mechanics. It allows for numerous possibilities. Fans can do anything, go anywhere, and build anything in this beautiful game.

But the limitations of its target platform, the Nintendo Switch, are pretty evident in this game. Even though it runs at a smooth 30 FPS for the most part, there are some dips. These dips might not even be due to the way they’ve been made. It might just be because it’s running on a somewhat dated console. But Nintendo does not roll this way.

Maybe they have decided to try to give players a better experience than they are currently having. And to do so, they have released a new update for this game. Recently, this new blockbuster has been updated to version 1.1.1. Nintendo’s website only lists a couple of changes for this game.

“Fixed a bug in the main challenge, “Closed Doors” that sometimes prevented the challenge from being completed even if the conditions for progressing the challenge were met. In addition, we fixed some issues so that you can play the game comfortably.”

The second point suggests that Nintendo might have fixed some gameplay-related issues. This is a good thing, as it would elevate the already excellent experience gamers are having with this title.

Maybe more updates would follow with a number of other changes. Or maybe Nintendo plans to shift their focus to porting this game to the Nintendo Switch 2 soon. However, no matter how hard Nintendo works on the Switch version, it would never run at 60 FPS on this console.
