Zelda Has A BIG Problem
Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and Echoes of Wisdom have taken what has historically been a nuisance in the Zelda franchise and cranked it up to eleven - this has been universally considered a bad move. Older games had issues with pausing and switching weapons because items were aplenty and item slots were few and far between. But now, with so many options in hand, and the freedom to do almost anything, Zelda’s menus have become inexplicably long and tedious and often have to be accessed in the heat of the moment, interrupting gameplay, or turning other mechanics trivial. Today, I’d like to take a look at Zelda’s menus, talk about better solutions in other games, and how a future Zelda game might try to limit how often our hero has to pause.
