Is it possible to the dog in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
We are talking about petting or pampering dogs. In Breath of the Wild, Nintendo decided to add dogs, which can be found at rest stations and can even play with Link and help him find some items. However, as much as the players wanted to, they couldn’t get Link to pet the dogs, which discouraged them. Apparently, Link is very busy saving Hyrule.
The bad news is that Nintendo apparently turned a deaf ear to the comments of the fans, since in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom it is also not possible to pet the dogs.
In case you missed it: netizen mocked fans of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom who stood in long lines to buy their physical copy of the game.

Why can’t you pet dogs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
“In terms of the design philosophy, it didn’t fit with how we designed the open world. It’s all about taking a small number of actions and using it in as many ways as possible,” said the main lead of the IP, Eiji Auonuma, when he was released. questioned by IGN about the impossibility of petting the dogs of Breath of the Wild.
In other words, the dev team doesn’t care if you can pet the dog or not, if the feature doesn’t serve anything else on the map or in the story, they just won’t work on it. And apparently the team stuck to that stance for the sequel.
Either way, this is certainly unfortunate, as it’s almost unthinkable that in any game that decides to implement dogs it doesn’t give players the option to pet them. In fact, in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom This is sadder, since the dogs apparently want to play with Link (they even expose their chest and tummy for Link to cuddle with), but it’s pointless, since Nintendo didn’t include any interaction.
It’s a shame, as thousands of users pointed out on social networks. The original tweet from an account dedicated to informing about whether it is possible to pet dogs in games was extremely popular, reaching 10 million views.
There is an user who even joked about the situation and mentioned that “if you pet it, it would run out of durability and break”, mocking the much-hated breaking weapon feature, which returned in the sequel.
