Exploring the Open-World Design Philosophy of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Hey everyone,

I've been replaying Tears of the Kingdom lately. The way they've designed the open world, encouraging exploration and discovery, is something truly special.

I'm particularly interested in discussing the balance between freedom and objective, the evolution of the open world from previous Zelda titles.

Zelda games are off-topic due to their closed and restrictive nature, but if you can explain what makes them different from other open-world games, that might help understanding better what you are interested in specifically.
