Sky News tried out the game, The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, the day before release, and first impressions were very positive.
A great deal of time was invested in optimising the game for the Switch, Nintendo's flagship console.
The game install size comes in at around 18GB, a much smaller file than that of other recent releases. For comparison, the award-winning Sony title God Of War Ragnarok easily surpasses the 100GB mark. Historically, Zelda games have struggled to sell as many copies as other Nintendo classics like Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros and Pokemon.
BOTW was a marked departure from older instalments, introducing open-world gameplay, a non-linear story and weapon durability. All of these features have made it into the sequel.
