The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Updated to Version 1.2.1; Fixes Various Bugs, Including Map Icon Screen Flickering

Nintendo has updated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to version 1.2.1, fixing several gameplay issues, such as an occasional screen flicker related to map icons.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom occurs after the events of Breath of the Wild, focusing on Link having to find Zelda after the two investigate treacherous ruins beneath Hyrule Castle. However, Link now possesses the right arm of a Zonai called Rauru, enabling access to powerful abilities that let player imagination run wild.
