In the United States and regulators in five states reportedly filed an emergency cease-and-desist order earlier this week against a metaverse enterprise they claim ‘is simply a high-tech scam’ with illicit ties to Russia.

If there’s something you can count on finding in a Zelda game, it’s the beloved (and typically quite strong) Hylian Shield–and that hasn’t changed in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
