It should be very free, you can run around, you can do tasks everywhere, you can also experience different customs, etc. This should be enough, right?
This is Davidson's judgment after playing Assassin's Creed.
This game opened up a new world of gaming for him.
At the time, he thought it was a good game, a great game.
Can it be done better than this?
He didn't think about it at the time.
But The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a completely different feeling.
There are more things to do here.
You can climb mountains, cut down trees, fish, and cook. When the weather is cold, you need to wear thicker clothes. When it rains, climbing will become slippery. When it rains and thunders, you may get struck by lightning if you bring iron tools with you.
You can do many things that you can do in daily life, or things that are taken for granted in daily life.
This was truly unimaginable before.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has reached a whole new level, a level that has never been reached before.
"Uncle Davidson, what are you doing?"
At Davidson's home, Davidson's little nephew was looking at the screen with wide eyes.
The smart little man on the TV made it almost impossible for him to take his eyes away.
"This is called The Legend of Zelda, and it's a video game." Davidson's eyes were focused, and he was no longer willing to leave this world for even half a step.
For this reason, he specially took half a month's leave, using up all the annual leave he had saved for three years.
So far, he has successfully defeated two mythical beasts and is wandering around the world aimlessly.
The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda...
Davidson's little nephew silently recited the name of the game in his heart, his pure eyes unique to children shining with a strange light.
"Uncle, what is this game about? I have played many games before, but I have never seen anything like this."
That's because you haven't played enough games.
Davidson thought this in his heart, and then he said: "Just fight monsters, then go fishing, cook, solve each temple, or... look for it, haha."
"Looking for it, haha? What is that?"
"Well, how can I describe it to you? I just want to find some small things and let me show them to you."
Davidson immediately picked up a strategy book, which he bought when he bought a game console and game cartridges.
In the game industry, in addition to the hot selling of the game itself, related products are also very popular, especially things like strategy books.
Although the Internet has become very developed now, strategy books are still the favorite choice of many people.
Davidson quickly turned to one of the sections, which contained a detailed distribution map of the locations of the 999 Yahaha and a strategy for solving the puzzle.
If there was no such strategy, it would probably take a year and a half to find all 999 Yahaha Davidsons.
Then he came to a rock in a valley.
"Come, let me show you."
Davidson controlled the character to pick up the stone, and then a strange-looking little man came out with a bang.
"Ah ha ha!"
Davidson's nephew's eyes widened when he saw a little guy pop out.
"Is that what this game is about?"
"That's right, that's all this game is about. How about freedom?"
"Hmm... I thought it was some story about defeating the big boss and saving the world."
"Huh? When you say that...I think..."
Davidson was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something.
yes!
I'm here to save the princess!
How did I forget this?
Only then did he suddenly remember the real main plot of this game.
The protagonist he controls is a man named Link, who needs to save a princess named Zelda.
Obviously, he had seen the king's soul before on the initial platform, and the king's soul asked him to save the princess and save the continent of Hyrule.
But he was completely dazzled by this very gorgeous game world, and completely forgot what he should do.
"That, I forgot, I want to save the princess."
Little nephew: "???"
Can this be forgotten? Aren’t the stories of games generally supposed to be very clear?
This game is so weird.
But... I really want to play with it.
Davidson was a little ashamed, but he didn't expect that he had forgotten the main plot of the game.
However, he soon felt that he didn't need to care about the main plot at all, right?
You buy the game by yourself and play it by yourself. Isn’t it enough to make yourself happy?
Forget it, let’s just have fun. Anyway, he feels very happy just fishing, cooking and looking for things. Haha.
"By the way, do you want to play with it?"
Only then did Davidson realize that the little nephew beside him seemed to be very eager, which made him a little reluctant, but it seemed that he should be more generous if his little nephew wanted to play.
The little nephew immediately nodded vigorously.
"Okay, come and give it a try."
The little nephew happily took the controller and wandered around the world to his heart's content. Davidson started to pick up the strategy book and studied what kind of things he could do next, and then occasionally looked up to see what the little nephew was doing.
After his little nephew got the handle, he started wandering around the entire Hyrule continent, bursting into happy laughter from time to time.
My nephew has also played some games, but The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gave him a completely different feeling.
Just like his uncle said, there are many, many things you can do in this game.
At the beginning, he still remembered his uncle saying that this game was also a story about saving the princess and the world.
But soon even he forgot about it.
Zelda?
Princess?
world?
Sorry, I don't even remember. I just remember that I can steal chickens and set fire to mountains.
In this game, you can steal chickens and set fire to mountains without worrying about being caught, which gives him a sense of curiosity.
Moreover, he also discovered that the monsters would sleep at night. If he touched it quietly, he could still see the snot bubbles blown out by the monsters snoring while sleeping.
If only I could pop snot bubbles.
The little nephew thought so.
Davidson frowned when he saw his little nephew running around like a fool. He couldn't help but want to tell his little nephew how to play this game several times.
Finally, when he saw his little nephew asking the character to wear shorts and run in front of a girl in the game, and the girl exclaimed that it was inappropriate, he couldn't help but come back to his little nephew again.
"Forget it, let me teach you how to play this game. In this game, you should find all the yahaha, you should also attack the temple, and you should also..."
Before Davidson could finish speaking, he noticed his reluctant nephew.
"Uncle, didn't you say that in this game you can do whatever you want? Why do you have to do something?"
When Davidson was asked, he didn't know how to answer.
