This week should be all about Echoes of Wisdom, but there are also some celebrations going on right now for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
A year after its release, Link’s massive open-world sequel has now won the “grand prize” at Japan’s Game Awards 2024. The award was accepted by series producer Eiji Aonuma and game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi.
Additionally, Tears of the Kingdom also won the ‘Best Selling Award’ and the Excellence Award (along with Super Mario Bros. Wonder).
This awards event added two new awards this year including ‘The Breakthrough Award’ – which went to The Exit 8 and ‘The Movement Award’ (all about expanding beyond the casual player base) which went to Suika Game.
Last year’s big winner was the Capcom title Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
