The Enduring Appeal of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Fans are lining up for hours in Midtown Manhattan to get their hands on the new Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom, despite the option to download it digitally. The return of long lines for midnight game releases feels nostalgic, as digital downloads have made physical media less necessary. The promise of special swag and the company of fellow die-hard fans may be drawing people to wait in line for the game.
