My favorite game of all time. The art style is beautiful, the gameplay is captivating, the music is amazing! The sense of discovery in this game changed what I look for in video games. Every rock, every hill, every area brings new challenges. The korak seeds keep you always searching for puzzles. The combat variation and breaking weapon system keeps you always seeking to improve. (Here's looking at you lionals.) The difference in the areas creates unique experiences everywhere you go. From deserts dressed as a lady, to the forest flying in the sky, to the volcano trying not to burn, to the tundra trying not to freeze. The lightning strikes have you rushing to drop all your metal gear and run! The gathering will have you attempting to become a master chef. The ninjas will have you guessing who is real and who is an enemy! Hoarses are beautiful and fun! The shrines will challenge you with puzzles or combat or both! They will make you use all of the awesome abilities you get throughout the game. The towns feel loved in and the people and conversations you have are charming. From a task to gather chickens to a duo telling you about a treasure nearby to an arrow to gather near a tough lional forcing you to sneak. The traveling merchant it quirky, the scientist is crazy, the old woman is wise, and so many more interactions! The fairies, the labyrinths, the ancient ruins, the enemy variations. This game is fun for every second and will keep you surprised until the credits roll!
