The tears of the dragon and its significance to the fragmented and familiar world of Hyrule is one of the most beautiful stories Tears of the Kingdom could tell...

Still, the gamified and survivalist mechanics with a touch of ancestral alien technology repeat more intensely in the sequel, to the point where not even one of the most legendary tales of the franchise can impact a... Naked Link.

Yes, a Naked Link.

A Link who learned to communicate with his world through wild and compulsive interaction with it. Objectifying everything he encounters, because everything needs a purpose for him. Even his interactions with female characters with romantic undertones come across as a violation of boundaries.

A hero with the courage to violate what he loves if the end justifies the means? I really can't understand this Link. Maybe a mix of Conan the Barbarian with a Twink but without even the strength or desire to dominate others? A link to the past? I don't really know but I congratulate him for having the courage to spend hours and hours playing pretend as an engineering student.

So basically, after more than 20 years of the franchise, they decide to make a story to justify all the horrors that the Mishima family perpetrated in our world from the perspective of humanity, more specifically from an angry journalist, and especially focusing on the crimes and betrayal's that Heihachi committed? In a high-budget action film style like the Mortal Kombat/Injustice games?

AND IS AKUMA CANON AND A SUPER IMPORTANT WILD CARD FOR NARRATIVE DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN KAZUYA AND HEIHACHI?

Perhaps the best story I've ever seen told by a fighting game, precisely because it is irreplicable. After all, it is an attempt to justify everything that is unjustifiable about the idiosyncrasies intrinsic to the world of Tekken.

Not that I don't like the franchise's jokes and malevolence... but well... It's really cool to see them do a samba in these elements to make something tangible... that's kind of cinema... in a video game...
