Zelda fans are enjoying the newest addition to the franchise
Since 2019 we have been anticipating the release of the sequel to Breath of the Wild. For three years the game was in production and a few delays were had and it got many of us wondering, is this just overpriced downloadable content? Or is this new game actually worth the hype it has been getting in the span of five years? At midnight on May 12 the game was finally in our grasp.
After waiting for so long it is safe to say that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK) is in fact worth its long renowned hype. I had the privilege of purchasing the game and picking it up on May 12 and the game was better than I could have imagined.
You start the game underneath Hyrule Castle with Link, the character you play as in this game, and Princess Zelda. After some exploring you notice there is a great evil hidden away underneath the castle that separates Link from Zelda and thus your adventure begins. You play as Link looking for the lost princess once more but this time you have extra help from a god from long ago who gives you his mystic power and sends you away to find your new champions to help fight the new evil that terrorizes Hyrule.
The game map however might not seem to have changed much if you look at it from afar but once you dive into the game you notice that you have access to the skies above as well and the ground beneath your feet.
But that’s not all, you also have areas of Hyrule that have changed since the calamity has dispersed and are always worth giving a look. From turning back time to new mobs to fight, TOTK has not disappointed in making us have new ideas on how to solve the world’s problems. If you’re interested in open world story games, you should definitely make a quick purchase of this game.
