@ 2023/08/21We think it has been done
Nintendo has applied for 32 patents and there are some concerns that they might be a little broad.
Loading screen maps and movement physics are just some of the elements from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that Nintendo is trying to patent.
Some patents are specific to Link's latest adventure, including Riju's lightning ability, which lets the player target enemies with a bow and bring down a lighting strike wherever the arrow lands.
What is more of a concern are patents for baseline game design and coding that apply to plenty of other video games on the market. One of the hopeful patents relates to the physics of a character riding on top of a moving vehicle and reacting dynamically to it in a realistic manner.
