A reader continues their photographic odyssey through Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom and focuses on the people and monsters of Hyrule.
Everything in Hyrule is so full of character. People, enemies and even animals exude personality. You are really sucked into the world and start to care about its inhabitants. You want to solve their problems, little or large, and help rebuild their lives after so much calamity.
Being a hero shouldn’t just be about beating the bad guys but about making a better world. Link understands this and the game is much richer for it. Of course, pummelling enemies and the occasional Korok is pretty fun too! Hopefully these photos convey some of the joy my encounters across Hyrule provided.
GC: Ryan created similar Reader’s Features for Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, from 2017, and you can see part 1 here and part 2 here. The first part of the Tears Of The Kingdom feature is available here.
WARNING: I haven’t included any bosses or major secrets but if you want to stay completely spoiler free you may wish to stop reading now.
