It took six long years of waiting before being able to play the sequel to Breath of the Wild. Nintendo took its time and didn't hesitate to delay the game multiple times in order to release it under the best possible conditions.
In fact, producer Eiji Aonuma shared an interesting anecdote with The Washington Post. He stated that despite the announcement of the delay of Tears of the Kingdom in March 2022, the development was almost finished. In the end, Nintendo chose to give an additional year to its Switch exclusive to refine everything. For example, numerous tests were conducted to ensure that the game's physics work perfectly.
The wait was worth it, as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is already a global hit!
