Tears of the Kingdom lets you go wherever you want, but there's a certain order you're meant to do things.
A new hardware mod for the Nintendo Switch allows the console to run The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at a resolution of 4K.
4k turd doesnt look very good. resolution of textures, poor lighting, bad models and shaders wont be saved by upscaling a video to 4k
its astonishing that nintendo games will never achieve it. maybe in 10 years when all of us have moved on to greater things

Mmmm what? I’ve already been wandering around all over Hyrule, the sky islands and the depths for dozens of hours with absolutely nothing gating me in any way since the starting area
You literally only have to do the first 2 quests once you land to get the glider and its all up to you from there
Complaining about getting to areas where you havent started a side quest or arent in the necessary step isnt being “gated”, the fact that you can reach those places naturally in the first place says it all
“If you don’t start these quest chains right away, you’ll waste time exploring places and landmarks that you don’t have access to.”
This is factually incorrect, you can explore any place you want and discover what is in each area before starting these quests.
It took me practically an entire week before I even bothered going to the Rito questline (the only one I’ve done from those 4 story quests) from all the other places I was exploring and sidequests I was doing.
The only gated part in the game is the starting area. And for the glider, again, its just the very first (and quick) story missions once you land, which is weird that they didnt do in a more forced manner to make sure every has it, but that would be ACTUAL gating…like in BotW, so if anything, its less gated
Even the dumb korok upgrades you now once need to find him once and then he will stay in Lookout landing
This hasn't been my experience. At all.
I think it's even more open than BotW. There were areas in that you would just get throttled if you went to too early.
