Watch at 7 p.m. Pacific Time on May 30- Critical Role dives into the skies for a fresh one-shot video inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game
In the world of gaming, two renowned entities are set to make waves this week. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the highly anticipated sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Critical Role, the multiplatform entertainment sensation dedicated to storytelling, community, and imagination, are gearing up for separate, yet exciting events.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, released today, takes players on a journey as Link, who finds himself on a floating island in the midst of a world fueled by imagination. The player can explore, create, and discover the sprawling world, utilising Link's new abilities to traverse the landscapes of Hyrule and floating islands. The goal is to find a way down to the land of Hyrule and battle against malevolent forces. However, the game does not provide specific details about the player's path or objectives beyond exploring and battling.
On the other hand, Critical Role, the home tabletop role-playing game that began in 2012, is currently in the midst of its third campaign storyline. This week, they are set to release a one-shot video production, which will be streamed on Twitch and YouTube at 7:00 p.m. PT today. The video, set for release on October 7, 2025, focuses on mental health and suicide prevention. The cast includes Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Robbie Daymond, Emily Axford, and Omar Najam, with Matthew Mercer, voice actor for Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, serving as the game master.
While there appears to be no direct connection between The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Critical Role, both entities share a common thread - the power of imagination and storytelling. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers players a world to explore and conquer, while Critical Role's one-shot video aims to use storytelling as a platform for raising awareness and promoting positive change.
