◆ Introduction
The game begins with Link and Princess Zelda exploring Hyrule Castle.
In the depths of the underground where the miasma swirls, there is the history of the Zonau and Hyrule people who once lived in the sky, and Ganondorf, who tried to take over the Hyrule Kingdom with the power of the Triforce, was sealed away. There was a wall painting of 'The Sealed War'.
Going deeper, there was Ganondorf's body sealed in a glowing green right arm.
Ganondorf awakens after the seal is lifted
Enveloped in miasma tentacles, Link is robbed of his physical strength and equipment.
Hyrule Castle rises high in the sky with miasma arms growing from underground
The ground collapses and Princess Zelda falls. Link jumps out and tries to grab Princess Zelda.
However, Princess Zelda was wrapped in light and disappeared.
Link, who fell as it is, wakes up in a mysterious cave. The right arm has a glowing arm that sealed Ganondorf.
The blade of the Master Sword has decayed due to the effects of the miasma.
When Link wakes up, he follows the voice in his head and aims to escape from the cave. It seems that a mysterious power resides in its right arm, and there is also a device that opens the door when it touches the ruins inside the cave.
In the cave, there is also a scene where you jump into the pond from a hill.
When jumping from a high place, if there is water underneath, you will not take damage.
As we entered the cave, we saw light.
The place outside the cave is higher than the clouds.
Dive boldly!
Here the title of 'The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom' was displayed.
The destination that jumped off is a mysterious floating island. While picking up fallen tree branches and wandering around, I found a soldier golem.
Since the soldier golem has attacked, repel it with a tree branch. From the robot that exploded, I was able to get 'Zonau Energy'. Possibly a legacy of the Zonau civilization.
I was able to meet a butler golem that doesn't attack. According to Butler Golem, this is a place called 'Time Garden', and it seems that he knows about Princess Zelda and Link.
I received it in a Purua Pad as a gift from Princess Zelda.
A pull pad is a terminal that allows you to browse various information during the game. Looking at the map, there is Princess Zelda in the 'Temple of Time' at the top.
Wander through the Garden of Time to reach the Temple of Time. In the garden when it was wide, there were places where it was too cold to move forward. It seems difficult to proceed when there are almost no clothes or items.
Finally arrived at the Temple of Time. However, even if I hold my hand over the gate, I cannot enter inside due to an error.
Raul, the owner of the right arm, appears as an image of light.
The gate didn't open because my right arm wasn't strong enough. Raul tells Link to visit the three shrines in the Garden of Time.
Make full use of new abilities that were not in the previous work
So, as Raul told me, head to the shrine.
When you enter the shrine, Raul will release the power of your right arm. The released power can be made your own by clearing the shrine.
The first released power is 'Ultra Hand'
Ultra Hand can lift things that are falling.
You can also glue the falling objects together.
For example, by connecting two boards vertically, it is possible to cross a valley that cannot be crossed if it is normal.
You can see what the Ultra Hand is capable of by watching the following movie.
Also, for example, it is possible to assemble a raft using Ultra Hand as follows and cross a large river. Since you can freely assemble the fallen objects, there are often scenes where Ultra Hand can make it possible to progress through places that you can't normally climb or cross.

At the next shrine, the ability 'Scrabuild' was released.
You can see what kind of ability Scrabuild is by watching the following movie.
Scrabuild is the ability to create new equipment by combining equipment and items. For example, combine the 'rusty two-handed sword' with the large rock that was found nearby with Scrabuild.
Then a two-handed sword with a large rock was born.
Even walls that can't be broken normally can be pulverized by hitting them with a two-handed sword that has the mass of a large rock added to it.
With Scrabuild, you can also combine items with arrows.
For example, if you attach a fruit of fire to an arrow, you can shoot a fire arrow. In the previous work, you had to buy special arrows to shoot fire arrows and bomb arrows, but in this work, if you have wooden arrows and materials, you can shoot arrows with the same effect on the spot. It will be possible.
Also, what is active in Ultra Hand and Scrabuild is a machine called 'Zonaugia' that is falling here and there. Zonau Gear, which is also a legacy of the Zonau civilization, is a part with various effects such as causing wind and blowing fire.
However, you need your own battery to move the Zonau Gear. Batteries are consumed when using Zonau Gear, and will regenerate naturally if left unattended.
The following movie shows the scene of moving the trolley using Zonaugia and attacking the enemy with flames.
The third ability is 'Torre Roof'
Torrelof is the ability to jump up on the spot and reach the top through the ceiling.
In this way, I regained my three abilities and returned to the Temple of Time.
There was a mysterious magatama that floated with light.
When you touch the magatama, Princess Zelda appears from the light.
Link grabbed Zelda's hand.
However, for some reason it disappeared into the Zelda light.
And what I received from Zelda is the fourth ability 'Modereco'.
Modereko is the ability to rewind the time of moving things.
If you look at the movie below, you can see in one shot what kind of ability Modreco is.
◆Come to Hyrule Kingdom
Inside the temple was a statue of a goddess.
There is also a large door behind it. However, it seems that the physical strength is not enough to open this door.
Therefore, Raul orders you to capture another shrine in the Garden of Time.
When you get a shrine, you will get 'Light of Blessing'.
By offering this to the goddess statue, the number of heart vessels increases.
Dedicate the decayed master sword to the altar at the end of the door.
Then, Princess Zelda, who is in front of the same altar, receives the Master Sword. Was Princess Zelda transported to another time-space?
Standing on the other side of the altar, the land of the Hyrule Kingdom spreads out below.
Take the plunge and dive into the Hyrule Kingdom!
When I landed, I found Bokoblin in front of me.
Wielding a stick combined with a fire-breathing Zonaugia, burns down Bokoblins along with the surrounding grasslands. With a crafting ability that wasn't in the previous work, you can now make powerful weapons at any time, so you can defeat Bokoblin in one shot that you couldn't let your guard down in the early stages of the previous work.
And horses are necessary to move across the vast land of Hyrule. Like the previous work, it is possible to capture and ride wild horses.
Of course, wild horses that you have ridden can be owned by registering them at the stable. In addition, if the data that played the previous work 'Breath of the Wild' is in the Switch, the registration of the owned horse will be inherited.
In the Kingdom of Hyrule, it seems that a natural disaster occurred at the same time that Hyrule Castle rose into the sky, and a large 'deep hole' appeared in the ground, mysterious shrines suddenly appeared here and there, and ruins fell from the sky. It is said that it may come. That's why Link will capture the shrine that appeared in the Hyrule Kingdom.
Also, there are black miasma here and there, and if you touch it, you will lose your physical strength, so be careful.
Furthermore, as soon as I arrived, I was knocking Bokoblin with a new weapon, so I thought, 'Thanks to Scrabuild, it's an easy victory!' If you look closely, it was ``Bokoblin's base that moves with limbs''.
A bizarre monster that carries Bokoblin's base on its back and moves around the land of Hyrule is also called 'Yelok'. If you get close to it, it will give you a powerful punch, and the Bokoblin on top of the Yellowock will shoot arrows and throw stones, so you can't get close even if you want to attack.
If you use the Torreroof, you can sneak into the base that Yerok is carrying, but since it is right under the base, it is necessary to move very close to Yerok, so there is also the risk of being hit and severely damaged.
A scene where the following movie encounters a yellow rock that actually moves.
I arrived at the watchtower while adventuring in the Hyrule Kingdom that I had just arrived.
Purua, the key person from the previous game, was staying at the watchtower as the leader. Apparently, it seems that the search was continued because Princess Zelda and the link who went to investigate to Hyrule Castle were missing.
The Hyrule Kingdom citizens who were forced to evacuate due to natural disasters lived in the evacuation shelter under the watchtower.
The stage of adventure is not only the land of Hyrule, but finally to the sky
At the watchtower, a facility called 'Toribodai' was built under Purua's initiative.
It is said that this bird's-eye view tower is located in various parts of the Hyrule Kingdom. Launched like a rocket, it can scan the surrounding terrain and register it on the map.
In addition, Purua will also receive the parasail that Link used to glide in the previous work.
You can see the place where it is launched from the bird's eye view and glides with a parasail in the following movie. In the previous work, you could only glide from high ground with a parasail, but in this work, you can be launched far above the bird's eye view, and the islands and ruins floating in the sky are the stages of adventure, giving players more freedom in the sky than in the previous work. can be moved.
For example, an island floating in the sky had ruins like a glider and a glider.
By riding this glider, you can glide much higher in the sky than using a parasail.
The following movies are where you actually ride a glider and glide in the sky or skydiving.
◆ Furthermore, the stage of adventure goes to the underground of Hyrule
By getting a parasail, it became possible to descend into a deep hole that suddenly opened in Hyrule.
Of course, I decided to dive. The inside of the hole is covered with thick miasma.
When you get down to the underground, it is naturally pitch black and you have no idea what is around you.
It is the seeds of Akaribana that play an active role here. Combining a wooden arrow with a Red Bana seed with Scrabuild and shooting it a short distance away will light up the surroundings, allowing you to proceed with your exploration.
In addition, there are huge roots that glow dimly under the ground.
When you examine this huge root, the root itself glows strongly, brightly illuminating the subterranean surroundings.
Areas illuminated by root lights are recorded on the Pluapad map.
Monsters such as Bokoblin also exist in the underground where the miasma swirls. What's more, if you take damage from underground enemies, your maximum heart value will decrease, probably because you're powered up by the miasma. However, this maximum value is restored by being illuminated by the light of the giant roots.
In addition, it is possible to mine the substance 'Zonanium', which is the source of Zonaugia's energy, in the underground. Zonanium is extremely difficult to obtain because it has been mined out in the land of Hyrule Kingdom and in the Garden of Time in the Sky. However, it seems that a large amount can be mined underground, so it seems necessary to explore the underground even if you are in trouble with the battery problem that drives Zonaugia.
◆Summary
'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' is a sequel to the previous work 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild', and the operability and UI are almost the same. The part of looking around is also inherited. However, the ``Ultra Hand'', ``Scrabuild'', and ``Zonaugia'' that can be used in this work are craft-type elements that were not in the previous work. It is also possible. In addition to the freedom of ``adventuring in a wide world'', which was a major feature of the previous work, the freedom to create new things from things that have fallen in the field has been added, giving the impression that there are more things that can be done than the previous work. In addition, the places where you can adventure are not only on the ground, but also in the sky and underground, and the range of exploration is much wider than the previous work, so you can fully enjoy the world of 'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom'. seems to require more time than its predecessor.
The story is designed to be fun to play even if you haven't played the previous work, but series fans can also enjoy it, such as the appearance of characters from the previous work and the keywords of the 'Legend of Zelda' series. content. The garden part at the beginning is a tutorial, and it feels like the real thing is about the Hyrule Kingdom. I felt that depth was born in.
