Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Proves Armor Needs to Become a Franchise Staple

If The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is any indication, armor should become a recurring element of the franchise. While the series lasted for a long time without armor as a mechanic, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom handled it so well that it may be worth changing. Getting armor for Link was a hugely important part of the game, then previous entries almost always had Link in the same gear from the start. Tears of the Kingdom has made a powerful argument that could change the series’ future where armor is concerned, though.
