The Legend of Zelda franchise has had 18 mainline entries over the last four decades, most being given a unique subtitle. These subtitles often give fans a clear indication of the game's major story beats and mechanics. For instance, Zelda: Ocarina of Time immediately tells players that there's going to be some form of time-traveling mechanic, while the handheld Zelda: A Link Between Worlds implies through a fun little pun that Link will be traveling between two different realms. Other Zelda subtitles are used to give fans more of an idea about the game's tone, such as Zelda: Breath of Wild, which is all about exploration. But while all of Zelda's titles have been fairly straightforward, none seems quite as literal as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
