PLAY ZELDA: TEARS OF THE KINGDOM, WHAT WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY FROM THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF PLAY?

TOTK is covering a wide area around the world. Everywhere, everyone talks about TOTK. Do you wonder what the first impression of this super game will be? Have you bought the game to play yet, how do you feel after the first few hours?

From the first skydive, I knew Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is truly a masterpiece. But there are still many more things that can make your heart skip a beat from the first hours of the game.

1/ THE TRIP “HOME” IS WAITING FOR US

The beginning of the game is no different from the warm feeling of a prodigal son returning home. The screen went black, the broken words appeared and faded one after another: Nintendo presents/ The Legend of Zelda/ Tears of the Kingdom. Absolutely no animated logos, no gimmicks of any kind. Everything is absolutely still. It seems that it's just you and a return journey awaits.

The impression of the opening of TOTK with many very gentle and warm people. Feels like you are coming home. Then we will spend a wonderfully memorable time in the sky of Great Sky, walking around, admiring the beautiful, pleasant nature around, listening to the birds singing, cooking, gently relaxing.

However, just a short time of lightly exploring around the sky, you were overwhelmed with the immensity that surely awaits you ahead.

2/ EMOTIONAL EFFECTS FROM VOICE AND AN ALIEN GROUND HYRULE

The second point that everyone is impressed by Tears of the Kingdom is the voiceover.

In the cutscene opening TOTK, when Zelda and Link go together and encounter a mummy. It is the dark, hoarse voices that come from the corpses that will send chills down your spine. With just that moment, you know right away that TOTK will be the most impressive and thrilling Zelda game ever.

But that's still not enough. Nintendo continues to surprise by turning the land of Hyrule that you thought was familiar to your eyes, now completely foreign.

When you're done with some time in the sky, when you land on the ground for the first time, you probably always think like "Oh, back to my territory, where to go now, where is just a small matter". However, you will quickly find yourself completely disoriented.

The ground Hyrule this time has a number of locations that have been changed, sometimes they even combine to create a new area. You thought you were used to it, no, the discovery seems to have just begun.

3/ THE “CUTE” CONSTRUCTS

The first time you face a Construct in Tears of the Kingdom, it can injure you. The next time you encounter another Construct, you'll need to wake it up from its long slumber. And unlike the first, this one will make a long beep, along with the friendly-looking colored lights, finally offering to lend you a hand.

Construct monsters can make you go from vibe to vibe. Where they have the unmistakable warm colors of the Great Sky of gold, gold, chalk white and mechanical blue. The appearance is a mixture of friendly cyborgs and intimidating gestures. There's also the lovely style of Studio Ghibli. You are constantly running back and forth between two extremes: friendliness that makes you smile and then react in horror when faced with a rather aggressive Construct.

Constructs are the type of robot monsters you will encounter quite often in TOTK, they have both good and bad types. But every encounter reminds you a little of the land's past. Construct is a relic of a lost time, which has just awakened after a long time. Even the fact that they love to cook mushrooms but don't actually have a digestive system. The presence of Constructs makes the Hyrule world this time much more lively and fun.

4/ CONFIDENCE INCREASED SPECTACULARLY

Remember the first time you watched the Breath of the Wild trailer when Link ran out of the Shrine of Resurrection and onto the Great Plateau? When the name of the game, the music plays, perhaps many of us can't help but shed tears of emotion. And it's also one of Breath of the Wild's most memorable iconic segments.

Going to Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the game once again makes players move to tears.

Start playing, you will wake up, find a way to leave the room. There was nothing around but the lone Master Sword, which was a bit scary, and his flip-flops. You go out, overwhelmed by the magnificent landscape. The moment when you make the first jump from the sky island has officially raised the level of magic we have felt in BOTW before.

At that moment, your mind begins to be blown away with memories from BOTW, but in a much broader, vaster way. From that second, you can believe you're about to have hours of happy play. Confidence burned again and was even more spectacular than before.

I've only explored TOTK for a few hours, there's a vast sky, earth and dungeon waiting ahead. In the near future, I probably won't be able to talk about any other games because I'm busy immersed in the world of TOTK. How about you. Have you bought the game disc to start enjoying?
