Weapon durability. It’s, somewhat ironically, a well-worn point of conversation by now. I’m not here to debate the merits of it though, but instead, to celebrate the best implementations of it. From magical worlds to ones much closer to home. From oceans full of life to lands that belong to the dead. Here are some of the best games (not ranked in any particular order) that are home to weapons with a limited lifespan and why they work so well.

10. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Encouraging Experimentation

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition is back in stock at Amazon in the UK, and can be ordered with next-day delivery for £109.99 right now (see here).

Moreover, Amazon has also the Switch Pro Controller – Tears of the Kingdom Edition back in stock for £64.99 (see here). Both of these items are extremely popular and limited in stock, so act fast if you want to secure either of these, because they will be out of stock again before you know it.

While The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom encourages players to be as creative as they want using all of Link’s new abilities to solve puzzles and reach new exciting locations, many players have discovered that making a really long bridge is just as effective.

Link is able to make these really long bridges with the help of his Ultrahand ability, which allows players to connect different objects together, including logs, wooden planks, and more. Tears of the Kingdom allows a lot of these items to be put together, and this has helped players solve puzzles, reach new locations in unintended ways, and cross areas with a broken bridge or a lot of water that would seem otherwise impassable.

Fortnite Ranked Play is finally arriving in Battle Royale and Zero Build modes in the upcoming V24.30 patch, which looks to be set to arrive on May 16, 2023.

The Fortnite Team shared the details of Fortnite Ranked in a blog, confirming that players will be competing against others across the globe to reach Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Elite, Champion, and Unreal ranks. Bronze through Diamond will have three ranks, and Elite, Champion, and Unreal will only have one.

When you have the latest and greatest iPhone, then that means you can play just about any mobile game with ease—thanks to the smartphone’s sheer power and buttery smoothness. In fact, even if your iPhone is a few years old, you’ll still get a great experience gaming on-the-go.

And while there are millions of them on the Apple App Store and Apple Arcade, there’s a very useful list of the most popular games—divided by the most popular free games and paid games available for the iPhone in May 2023 (most of these titles are available as iPad games as well).

Tears of the Kingdom producer Eiji Aonuma and director Hidemaro Fujibayashi have shared that they are “interested” in a film adaptation of The Legend of Zelda, especially after the incredible success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

The pair were asked this question by Polygon and, while they confirmed there is definitely interest, it’s ultimately not up to them.

“I have to say, I am interested. For sure. But it’s not just me being interested in something that makes things happen, unfortunately,” Aonuma said.

“Maybe the voice of the fans is what’s important here,” Fujibayashi added.

Playing video games is an expensive hobby. Whether you’re purchasing a brand-new console or buying the latest releases, keeping your digital library padded with the latest games can be costly. Luckily, that’s beginning to change. More and more publishers have started embracing the free-to-play model in recent years, allowing players to leap into some good Nintendo Switch games without paying a cent.

We’ve dug through some of the best free-to-play titles available on Nintendo Switch and compiled a list so you can enjoy some great games without putting too much stress on your wallet.

Since their inception, video games have acted as portals to other worlds. Unlike books and films, they allow us to not just be immersed in another land but to truly explore one. It’s that core fantasy that has seen the concept of the open world flourish; what better way is there to create a sense of discovering a new world than to build one with as much depth and as few borders as possible? That goal has seen the open world advance from a form of environment design to a whole diverse genre in its own right.

Where linear game design delivers slices of another reality, the open world aims to simulate on a grander level. It combines geography, architecture, populations, and events to create a living city, region, or kingdom.

As you set out on Link’s quest to save Hyrule, you need to take the IGN Tears of the Kingdom Walkthrough and Strategy Guide with you. Yes, yes, it’s dangerous to go alone and all that… But seriously: This guide has been composed by expert players over hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours of gameplay. Along the way we will show you how to get every Shrine, Fairy Fountain, Tower, and much more. The latest updates include the intro areas that teach you the ropes:

• Great Sky Island – Find Princess Zelda and The Closed Door – The four opening Shrines are accounted for here, and the quest for the paraglider.

Warning: The below contains a spoiler from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Well, Nintendo did it: they kept a giant chunk of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s map from being fully revealed to the general public before release.

The chunk in question, of course, is the Depths, an absolutely huge part of Tears’ Hyrule maps that was completely unavailable in Breath of the Wild. Tom Marks, in his 10/10 review, sums it up best:

“Rest assured that the generally small sky islands do not represent the entirety of the new area to explore, because waiting beneath is a dangerous, pitch-black map that is literally the size of Hyrule itself. It is massive.
