I finished Tears of the Kingdom last night and loved the ending. I had to try the final fight for five times before I got to the second round. The fight became easier the further I got and that’s a good thing. The last part was glorious and just the thing to end this game. The whole game you see these giant beast flying by and you’re so tiny compared to them.

There weren’t many things that annoyed me about this game. I can think of only three things now.

The first thing is the guy with the signs. I wish the you could disable him in the settings.

The second thing is Zelda herself with her whiny voice. After typing Tears of the Kingdom for the nth time, I just realized that that’s why Zelda has those ridiculous tears on her face the whole time. That and the fact that she has such a sad voice annoyed me during the whole game.

The third thing are the voices of the npcs. After someone sitting next to me while I was playing the game mentioned that the noises coming from the game sounded like a porn movie, I couldn’t shake that feeling from there on.

The rest of the game was just excellent. I loved soaring through the sky and finding all the stuff out there. Exploring the dark was also fun for the most part, although sometimes it was a bit annoying and I didn’t uncover all of it. In hindsight I should have been more creative in handling the dark.

I loved exploring Hyrule anew and uncovering the map and the memories. The quests in the towns were a bit sparse, but when I look at the total time I spend in the game I guess it was more then enough. I spend 105+ hours and I was quite ready to be done with the game. I haven’t got hold of half the things I could have, but it’s enough for me right now.

The building mechanic was also fun. I like it when a game offers different approaches at solving problems and this game is excellent at doing this. After I finished the game I watched a couple YouTube videos to see what other people had build and then I realized I have the imagination of a fly. Some things could have been so much easier!

I played the whole game with all my companions and this is sort of the easy mode in this game. I used them for flying further and exploding rubble the whole time. And they helped with the fighting of course. I’m no good at that. Although I do enjoy the fights. I had a couple of moments that I was down to half a heart and still managed to win a fight, which was quite exhilarating!

I wonder how Nintendo is going to go forward with the Zelda franchise. I’m positive that they’ll think of something and not do a Bethesda on us.
