In case you missed it, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gained Greatest Motion/Journey Recreation at this yr’s Recreation Awards occasion in Los Angeles.
Followers, nonetheless, are a bit miffed on the organisers of the present as it seems that throughout Eiji Aonuma’s acceptance speech, a teleprompter urged the long-time Zelda producer to “wrap it up”.
As famous by our buddies over at Push Sq., it appears that evidently many well-respected people within the trade obtained the identical remedy throughout their acceptance speeches, however given Aonuma’s legendary standing, many have taken subject with the strict time constraints.
There are, after all, a number of components to contemplate with this. An awards present that additionally doubles as a platform for recreation bulletins is all the time going to be a tough beast to schedule, so, understandably, the organisers will need to maintain issues shifting at a brisk tempo.
It is also doubtless a direct results of an acceptance speech from final yr’s occasion delivered by God of Conflict voice actor Christopher Decide, which many within the trade deemed to be far too prolonged. One last observe to contemplate is that Aonuma seemingly had a comparatively quick speech written out earlier than his time on stage, so it is unlikely he would have lingered for too lengthy regardless.
It is a tough balancing act, to make sure, however we’re hopeful that Geoff Keighley will take the suggestions on board and provides builders a little bit extra time on stage subsequent yr. In spite of everything, with out them, there would not be a Recreation Awards present.
