“Do not look away”.
We have crossed the two-month mark since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom entered our lives, and what a two months it has been. It will come as no surprise that those opening days were filled to the brim with exploration, wonder and a fair few tears of our own, but now that we have had a chance to get past the initial excitement, are we all still on board?
Our wonderful video team have come together to share their thoughts on the TOTK journey so far after putting over 100 hours into the Hyrule exploration each. In the above video, Alex, Felix and Zion discuss the game’s highs, lows (not that there are all that many) and everything in between as they attempt to cohesively explain all of their wonderful gaming moments from the past two months.
