"THAT'S why it's called Tears of the Kingdom?!"

I'm going to enjoy the years upon years of absolutely insane vehicles and other crazy bullshit people will discover playing this game. Says a lot how much a game can dazzle you with it's possibilities, even when you aren't playing it. Also, the fact that there's a entire second map underneath the surface open world is f**kn' unhinged.

In all seriousness despite this game's (in)famous reputation at this point in time, I just simply enjoy it for it being a bigger and better Breath of the Wild; a game that I already enjoyed a lot. A Link Between Worlds is still my favorite Zelda, but the sandbox nature of Tears with even more crazy tools at your disposal makes problem solving combat encounters and puzzles an absolute delight. I love how ridiculous fusing weapons look, I love the vehicle building, I like how unforgiving enemies and bosses are that push for creative play, I enjoy the simple pleasure of skydiving onto floating islands, I absolutely loved how often the game kept surprising me with new stuff not seen in the first game, and of course I like crucified koroks...waitIwrotethat??
