“What do you mean? I’ve barely scratched the surface!”<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s been one whole week since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a> launched, and most of us have spent it in a glorious Zelda stupor, a little awestruck and baffled at its enormity and how \u2014 even hours into it and with a sound knowledge of Hyrule’s layout from Breath of the Wild<\/a> \u2014 there still seems to be so much to see and do in this new game. Every night this week has gone like this for us: Okay, ju<\/em>st another five min\u2014ooh, a Korok! A cave! A Shrine!…<\/em> *Jump cut to three hours later*.<\/p>\n

Not only is the game great, but it’s refreshing to see such a huge release come out and not generate online beef or controversy through its launch state or some inclusion\/exclusion. TOTK has been a rallying point for player positivity and creativity, and the perfect bookend (perhaps<\/a>) for Switch’s remarkable software lineup.<\/p>\n

We’ve had drops of #discourse<\/a> and minor trolling popping up on socials, of course, which we’re not going to bother wading into. Yes, Nintendo’s art direction is top-notch. Yes, Kakariko is a bit frame-y. Yes, gameplay trumps graphiczzzzzzz…<\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, the vast majority of players have simply been relishing<\/em> the new Zelda and sharing their (mostly<\/a>) wholesome love online. It’s nice, right!? More than once this week, this writer has taken both Joy-Con off the Switch and marvelled at how such a world can exist on this tiny, most modest of consoles.<\/p>\n
