Will Zelda Tears of The Kingdom Be Open World

Tears Of The Kingdom May Be Open-World
Some fans have theorized that Tears of the Kingdom is going to be an open-world game, being a direct successor of Breath Of The Wild. These fans argue that the creators would be doing a disservice to the success of Breath of the Wild, if they didn’t explore an open-world setting in Tears of the Kingdom.
Moreover, players have also considered the game’s trailers to hint at an open-world map since Link can be seen exploring the floating islands and the vastness of kingdom of Hyrules. However, it’s still a speculation with no actual confirmation or announcement from Nintendo’s side as of date.
Zelda May Not Be Open-world
Apart from speculations, there’s a higher chance that Tears of the Kingdom may be a linear game rather than hosting an open-world setting. This is based on a leak of a survey showing that Tears of the Kingdom would be more story-based. With the added rumors of dungeons being incorporated into the game, it’s quite possible that the gameplay will be more linear with challenges having only one real solution.
Currently, it’s still unclear if Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is an open-world title. But we’ll be sure to update you right here if there’s any official announcement from Nintendo about the matter.
