    About 8 or so hours into Tears of The Kingdom I discovered the depths completely on accident by riding one of the dragons into it. First time in a long time I felt a complete sense of awe while playing a video game.

      What I find interesting is that you spent 8 hours doing random things, because quite early in the game the main town has a quest that brings you down there and has you tap a light root to see what they do.

        Completely missed that quest lol. Most of my time early on was just spent exploring and unlocking the map. Eventually made my way to kakariko village, saw a dragon flying into one of the holes and hopped on thinking I’d go out of bounds and die or something.

          Hahaha love that you jumped on just to see if the game would let you ride it into the abyss

      Came here to post about TOTK - I didn’t think it could match the sheer wonder and awe BOTW filled me with but somehow it’s surpassed it. Skydiving off the tutorial island / fusing a weapon for the first time have made me feel like a kid again. Truly incredible stuff from Nintendo.
