This is the review on which the emotional announcement of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom has been based
I’m a working adult, that being said a businessman. I am harassed by the rush of commuting to work, I bow to clients and bosses, they force me to train junior staff and do many things, and I end up doing overtime every day. Even the mountain I see on my way to work, which I don’t even know the name of, irritates me. When I come home I’m dizzy and I don’t have energy to eat, so I only drink alcohol and sleep. If I have time to play, I should be going to seminars or dating, which makes me more impatient than I should be. I spend the day wondering just why I’m still alive.
I went to buy alcohol because I had run out and I saw that the Switch was on sale. Then I remembered the day. When I was a kid, I really liked Mario 64 and my friend told me: “What the f***** are you doing playing Mario nowadays! Now is the age of PlayStation!” and I felt ashamed. At the time, I didn’t want to dislike my friend, so I also remember saying, “Yes, you’re right. Mario is already out of style!“.
The beauty of FF7 at that time and the shock of being able to listen to the CD on TV… Maybe the kids of now do not understand these feelings. That’s how attractive and innovative it was back then.
I’m still not sure why I picked up the Switch at the time. He just had a beer in one hand and I bought the console and Zeldathinking that I could sell it if I got bored.
Yesterday, on my work day, I saw through the train window a mountain that I didn’t even know the name of and I thought: “Looks like I can climb it”. At that moment, I broke down crying unable to stop Businessmen of the same age next to me must have thought, “What the hell is this guy.”
I would recommend it to all my fellow entrepreneurs who are strapped for time and struggle day after day to maintain the status quo, even though everyone hates you. Don’t say it’s just a game. We were born in the golden age of video games. Have you seen your family move their whole body when Mario jumps? Do you remember playing Mario Kart or Smash Bros with your friends bringing their own controllers? Have you ever discussed Chrono Trigger or FF7 strategies with your friends? Now I know. When I was a brat, my parents bought me expensive consoles and games for my birthday, Christmas and so on. My parents, who were always pestering me, they managed to get money out of their budget and buy me expensive games.
It excites me to late realize many things that I had not realized due to the busyness of living my own life. It should have been more filial.
The 5 star reviews are all good so I have nothing to talk about now. This Zelda offers me the “challenge and reward” that I had forgotten. I can freely explore the world without maps, it is an exciting adventure experience. People my age are obsessed every day with getting over tomorrow. But don’t despair. The adventure that I wanted was in such a place.
PS I’d like to say thank you to this Zelda and would like to apologize to the Mario 64 development team and Nintendo. I would like to apologize for the lies I told that day, saying that Mario 64 was outdated, even though I loved it. I honestly look forward to the release of Mario Odyssey this winter.
PS May 7: After 180 hours of gameplay, I got all my memories back and watched the ending. More than anything, I would like to thank everyone who read my horrible, long, messy, embarrassing review out of emotion. I’d also like to thank everyone who gave it a “useful” rating, not just for reading it. I had never felt appreciated by so many people, not even in my job. I really enjoyed the 180 hours I spent running around Hyrule. I would like to thank not only Nintendo, but also all Zelda fans who have continued to support the series. Thanks for this great adventure.
