We leave Tamriel behind for the multi-tiered Kingdom of Hyrule and give our impressions of the opening sections of the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. We talk a lot about expectations and how Nintendo has managed to subvert them while still creating what is recognizably the second Breath of the Wild style Zelda. We examine developer comments on the initial creation and vision for the game, and discuss similarities to the previous direct sequel in the Zelda series that we have discussed previously, Majora’s Mask.
There won’t be tons of spoilers, but we do talk about the opening hours of the story. We will return with a follow up episode later in the year when we have completed the massive game… hopefully we don’t have any other massive RPGs to play coming up or anything.
