In case you missed it, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gained Best Action/Adventure Game at this 12 months’s Game Awards occasion in Los Angeles.
Fans, nevertheless, 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 Square, evidently many well-respected people within the business acquired the identical remedy throughout their acceptance speeches, however given Aonuma’s legendary standing, many have taken challenge with the strict time constraints.
There are, after all, a number of elements to contemplate with this. An awards present that additionally doubles as a platform for sport bulletins is all the time going to be a tough beast to schedule, so, understandably, the organisers will need to hold issues shifting at a brisk tempo.
It’s additionally doubtless a direct results of an acceptance speech from final 12 months’s occasion delivered by God of War voice actor Christopher Judge, which many within the business deemed to be far too prolonged. One last be aware 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’s a tough balancing act, to make certain, however we’re hopeful that Geoff Keighley will take the suggestions on board and provides builders a little bit extra time on stage subsequent 12 months. After all, with out them, there would not be a Game Awards present.
