Not even 24 hours have passed since the official release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and it has already become clear that it is one of the most outstanding games of 2023. Critics love it, it has almost a 10 on Metacritic and social media is packed with excited fans. However, the Nintendo sequel hides a secret that has broken the hearts of hundreds of fans.
What has broken the hearts of the fans who have embarked on the adventure? We can’t pet the puppies in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Link has become a heartless person who does not pet a dog who is happy to see him and turns on his back to play.
Twitter account Can You Pet the Dog? has been responsible for the tweet that has shown the absence of this mechanic. Luckily, the game has other ways to interact with these animals. We can feed them so that they take us to a treasure, as shown in the IGN medium in his video. These adorable animals are found near the villages.
It’s not the end of the world, doesn’t ruin the experience, neither a sacrilege and Link is not a soulless. The absence of this mechanic feels like a psmall oversight Which causes minor disappointment. Certainly other games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Hogwarts Legacy feature this mechanic. In any case, it is a curious detail. It would be great if Nintendo added the mechanic with a patch.
