One Change Would Make Zelda: TOTK’s Ending So Much Better

The main story in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is nothing short of grandiose, but its ending took a turn that missed an opportunity for more poignancy. As a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild, at the end of which Calamity Ganon was seemingly destroyed, TOTK gets rather inventive with its narrative, choosing to tell two parallel arcs spanning untold millennia. Its conclusion is satisfying and emotional, but one change could have been for the better, though such an ending seems incredibly unlikely with the history of Nintendo’s flagship fantasy series.
