The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom is the most-awaited game this year, which even resulted in winning the Game Award for the “Most Anticipated Game”. After all, Zelda is the most famous Nintendo series besides the likes of Pokemon and Super Mario. Tears of the Kingdom will be available from May 12 on Nintendo Switch.

Every Zelda title introduced some new features which amaze the fans every time. As a result, it’s safe to predict that the upcoming ‘The Legend of Zelda’ will also delight fans with something new. The trailers have already revealed there would be features like aerial travel and potential aerial combat too.

But the one thing fans expect to see in Tears of the Kingdom is a new area to explore, like an alternate world. However, the trailers released so far and the game’s size hints that the upcoming Zelda might fail to meet this expectation. There are chances that fans might not get a new area to explore. It could be a major problem that no one is talking about so far.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom might not have a new area to explore

The Legend of Zelda series turned into an open-world action-adventure game with Breath of the Wild. The series will go in the same route for Tears of the Kingdom too. But what makes a sequel of an open-world game successful is a new area to explore. For example, gamers love Grand Theft Auto, as it offers a new map in every game.

But all the Tears of Kingdom trailers released so far didn’t showcase a new map or world to explore. In most of the locations that were shown, players have already been there. After all, it’s been over six-year since the release of Breath of Wild, and fans might have explored the whole map available in the game.

If Tear of Kingdom also features the same map with no new element, it will be a turndown for fans. The possibility of no new world increased after knowing that Legend of Zelda’s file size is only 3.8 GB bigger than the last game. It is a very small space to create an additional world. Possibly, it can be the new sky temples or small dungeons.
