Re:Direct | The "Zelda Ending" Problem Explained @WatchReDirect | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
With The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom reviews upon us and the game finally coming out, it's time to think: How should a Zelda game end? How can Tears of the Kingdom avoid the "Zelda Ending" Problem?
In this video, Parker looks at what exactly is the Zelda Ending problem, how it plagues all manner of single player video games (Golden Sun, Hollow Knight, Xenoblade, all of your favorites!) and how to solve it. Can Mario be the solution to the Zelda ending? Or even Pokémon? Let's talk about it.

…. Do people read these? YouTube's algorithm does & on the off chance that people do - here's a bit more context before, during, or after you watch the video :)
The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom will be the biggest game Nintendo has ever released and possibly the best Nintendo Switch game, or the best game of all time! But if it suffers a bad ending, what could that do to an otherwise potentially perfect game? I think The Zelda Ending Problem has been around for years and is not only true of Zelda games but of many single player games. It's time that Zelda has a proper post-game, even if that's just continuing the activities you'd started during the playthrough of Tears of the Kingdom, but with new reinvigorated purpose. What will be the best part of Tears of the Kingdom, and what will be the worst part? Probably the expansive and impressive world will be one of its best features, but how can it surprise us beyond that? Let's see!
