* AbsurdlyHighLevelCap: There's an internal XP system that the game never tells you about, upgrading various things in the game, and it assigns monster levels and weapon levels to the world based on the quantity and style of Link's kills; every 100 XP increases the world's monster level, while every 133 XP or so increases the world's weapon level. The highest monster level that does anything[[note]]a third rank-up for some Lynels[[/note]] is 84 (8400 XP), but the highest weapon level that does anything[[note]]a second rank-up for Royal Guard's Shields[[/note]] is 105, at a staggering ''fourteen-thousand'' XP. However, the maximum world monster level one can get (before AntiGrinding applies to every XP-generating enemy) is '''over 300'''.

* DummiedOut: Tears of the Kingdom's hidden XP system has been set up with a fifth tier of enemies in mind, akin to the gold enemies in Master Mode for ''Breath of the Wild''. However, as of September 6th, the development team has quit on the game[[note]]specifically it "feels that they have exhausted all possibilities for creating new gameplay"[[/note]]; thus, these slots in the enemy-scaling system go unused.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Ganondorf's infamously memetic SlasherSmile almost didn't make it into the game, as director Hidemaro Fujibayashi considered hiding his facial expressions when he's in the act of [[spoiler:killing Queen Sonia]]. He eventually realized that it was an integral and meaningful part of depicting Ganondorf's character, and kept it in.

Both are action-adventure fantasy games releasing in mid-2023 exclusively on competing consoles (UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/PlayStation5), with both of them being the long-awaited latest installments in juggernaut video game series. Even their predecessor games (''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'') were only released months apart from one another. However, ''Final Fantasy XVI'' is a BloodierAndGorier and DarkerAndEdgier installment of its franchise, being the first main-series game with the M rating (17+) in North America and the PEGI 18 rating in Europe, while ''Tears of the Kingdom'', despite also being dark at times, has the E10+ rating in North America and the PEGI 12 rating in Europe.

* WordOfGod: Game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi revealed in [[https://nintendoeverything.com/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-devs-explain-raurus-seal-shrines-lightroots/ an interview with Nintendo Everything]] some lore regarding the game in December 2023.
** The Hyrule Castle that is seen in ''Breath of the Wild'' and this game helped Rauru's purification powers to keep Ganondorf sealed for over 10,000 years, but it isn't the same castle that Rauru and Sonia lived in during their era.
** The reason Rauru's seal had weakened by the time of this game is because Calamity Ganon's actions in ''Breath of the Wild'' severely weakened his body to the point where only his arm was left.
** Before Ganondorf came to power, there were still evil beings throughout Ancient Hyrule, and Rauru and Sonia worked hard to eradicate them. The shrines that appear throughout the world were put down where demons were previously defeated so that they wouldn't ever reappear. The Lightroots serve a similar purpose in the Depths.

However, he did not frame this as a definitive statement, and encouraged fans to keep discussing and debating the subject.
