Competitive Landscape
“Totk Can’t Select Main Quest: Trial of the Master Sword” compares unfavorably to previous entries in the Zelda series. Unlike “Breath of the Wild”, which allowed players to access the main quest at their leisure, “Totk” restricts it until certain conditions are met. This gated approach limits player choice and exploration, a core aspect of Zelda games. The alternative, letting players skip the trial, would have preserved the spirit of Zelda’s open world.
