![]() ![]() As we explore further, we come across a cooking pot where we can add stacks of up to five items together and turn them into a meal. So far, so Breath of the Wild.įood items we find will replenish Link’s health but cooking them will produce food that restores greater health. Along the way we meet constructs who slowly teach us about the various gameplay mechanics we come across, like fighting monsters with melee attacks, crouching with left stick and hunting animals for meat with bow and arrow, then cooking that for food. Pressing the right stick allows you to peer far into the distance where we spot a nearby shrine. Once we get to the temple, the door is magically locked, and we need to grow in power by learning new abilities before we can attempt to open the lock and get to Zelda. We collect and equip weapons, a shield and a bow, and we can jump/dive down into water below us, with swimming reducing our stamina. We move around with the joycons picking up anything that glows and descriptions of these are stored on a Purah Pad that Zelda dropped (this looks just like a Nintendo Switch). From here, gameplay takes on much the same form as Breath of the Wild. Link awakens on the Great Sky Island with very little clothing and a simple task, to make our way to the Temple of Time to save Zelda. ![]() This effectively creates three massive areas to explore. A hand reaches down to grab Link as Zelda keeps falling, while the lands of Hyrule suffer a cataclysmic event, creating huge rocky outcrops in the sky and large caverns and caves underground. Link jumps after her, showing one of the pivotal scenes from the game’s trailers, but she falls beyond his reach. What occurs next happens in a flash and without going into spoilers, Link and Zelda are separated as the ground shakes and falls away, leaving Zelda tumbling into the darkness. As the game’s incredible music mood starts to shift, we see a light ahead and instantly recognise it’s the resting place of an evil foe. As you take control of Link, I noticed he has two full rows of hearts and was wielding the master sword which cast a blueish glow to help illuminate the dark cavern. Link and Zelda are exploring a dark misty cavern as they slowly make their way through. Having put several hours into Breath of the Wild last week in preparation for Tears of the Kingdom, it was exciting loading the game up for the first time. With loot aplenty, side quests and puzzles galore, the biggest drawcard I have found is the focus on player creativity, exploring the open world landscapes and playing the way you want to play. I am still scratching the surface of Hyrule and its three massive areas so these are my first initial impressions of the new additions in the sequel and will follow up with the final review once I can get many more hours into the game. Launching exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on May 12, 2023, this sequel to Breath of the Wild is a massive game that will give hundreds of hours of enjoyment and plenty of reasons to go back to it. One of the most anticipated games of the year is finally here with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom by Nintendo. ![]()
