Ruins

"Ruins are an icon in the Zelda series. Many serve as dungeons for the player to traverse through in many games. So how will these be incorporated?

Ruins will now be a settlement type, replacing villages. So what are the benefits and disadvantages of Ruins? First off you can excavate the ruins for treasure and other hidden doodads. Ruins will now be a settlement type, replacing villages. So what are the benefits and disadvantages of Ruins? First off you can excavate the ruins for treasure and other hidden doodads.

Eventually the ruins will become exhausted of their secrets though, which will pose a few problems for the player. In terms of disadvantages, Ruins are hardly designed to harbor populations and only a handful of people can settle in the area and very few buildings can be set up. As such Ruins tend to leech from your income in the long run. This is alright though, as you can just demolish the ruins and make way for a city when you feel the time is right. Clicking the "Convert Ruins into a Settlement" option will clear the area and allow for a normal town to be set up. As you can imagine, it's best to wait to do this after you're certain that everything in the Ruins have been plundered." - UndyingNephalim
