Nintendo explains why it stored the Imprisoning Conflict Sages a thriller in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom director Hidemaro Fujibayashi has spoken about why Nintendo stored the sport’s Imprisoning Conflict Sages a thriller.

Tears of the Kingdom featured Ardi of the Gerudo, Qia of the Zora, Raphica of the Rito, and Agraston of the Goron. Nevertheless, we don’t actually get to find out about them in any respect within the recreation. In flashbacks, they’re solely proven briefly.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment rectifies this just a little. Because it’s centered on the Imprisoning Conflict, Ardi, Qia, Raphica, and Agraston are featured a bit extra within the Nintendo Swap 2 recreation in order that they get extra of the highlight.

As for why these Sages appeared to be depicted as pretty unassuming, Fujiybayashi advised 4Gamer in a latest interview:

“In Tears of the Kingdom there was a central theme working via the principle story, and the Sages are depicted with their faces hidden by masks and with out names. If we had proven their personalities and faces, the story would have naturally grown an excessive amount of, so there have been many issues we deliberately held again. That’s why I’m really glad that the Sages have been extra fastidiously picked up upon right here within the Imprisoning Conflict.”
