Patricia Summersett had no idea what she was auditioning for after being summoned in for a mysterious casting call in the mid-2010s. She was a veteran actress by this point of her career, lending her talents to a wide gradient of interstitial characters in both animation and film. (Summersett pops up in Assassin’s Creed: Rogue and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Rainbow Six fans will know her as Ash, the spunky FBI agent who brings a grenade launcher to a gunfight.)

So, when Summersett was handed a blank script with a few faint, Arthurian motifs, she treated it like another day at the office.

“It just looked like an RPG fantasy,” said Summersett.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out today, and like its predecessor Breath of the Wild, it includes numerous references to other Zelda games. But there’s one specific reference, new to Tears of the Kingdom, that has us simultaneously baffled and cackling over its utter silliness and specificity. And it has to do with Link’s Awakening.

Tears of the Kingdom, like Breath of the Wild, includes a number of outfits and locations that pay tribute to other Zelda games.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy has achieved good results on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but fans will have to wait a little longer to see if the Switch version can offer the same results.

Originally set to release in July, Avalanche Software announced on Twitter today that Hogwarts Legacy is being delayed until November for further optimizmation.

“We know fans are looking forward to playing on Switch, therefore creating the best possible experience is our top priority. Thank you for your patience,” the team wrote on Hogwarts Legacy’s feed.

Hogwarts Legacy launches on Nintendo Switch on 11/14/23.

The day has finally arrived. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is officially out in the world and you can check out our full review and our extensive Zelda guides, maps, and more that will help you in your quest to save Hyrule. However, we’re here today to talk about what game from The Legend of Zelda series’ past you chose as the best of the best before we all dive deep into this newest adventure.

After thousands and thousands of 1v1 battles in our latest Face-Off with matchups like Breath of the Wild vs. The Wind Waker and Majora’s Mask vs. A Link to the Past, the ultimate Legend of Zelda game has been chosen.

We already knew that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom includes a pretty major improvement to Breath of the Wild’s cooking systme in the form of recipe cards. But there are some brand new recipes to cook up too, including everyone’s favorite lazy dinner night dish: pizza.

Incredibly, Tears of the Kingdom’s pizza is actually not that easy to make.

If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage respectively. Some of that is reserved for the OS. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes up over 18GB of storage all by itself. Other must-have titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield tap out at 13.5GB each. There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.

The Great Sky Island is where you’ll spend the first hour or three of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, learning the ropes in a format that’s fairly similar to Breath of the Wild’s Great Plateau — but here, and in the first area of Tears of the Kingdom’s main quests point you to, you will require a way to stay warm in cold weather environments, or risk losing hearts fast.

How to Stay Warm and Not Take Damage

Aside from eating cooked peppers and sunshrooms added to your food recipes or making elixirs from warm darner dragonflies, the best way to stay warm is to find warming Armor, and one piece of armor on the Great Sky Island just happens to fill that role: The Archaic Warm Greaves.
