  • As a child in the 90s, I remember Saturday and Sunday afternoons being incredibly boring if we didn’t go out. TV was shit (still is), and on rainy afternoons you were basically locked at home.

    By the late 90s, at age 10, with no internet access in my county, I was mapping ways to beat the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. I remember scheming for hours, using Farore’s Wind to take me to the beginning of the dungeon and jumping to the platform on the 2nd floor. This way, I was not using the only key I had on the middle pillar, which is what almost everyone got stuck on.

    But yeah, I remember the tail-end of this at that time and starting a whole new game to try this out. And it worked. Still proud of 10 year old me. It’s interesting but I hadn’t felt boredom in a really long time.


  • If you’re into the Zelda lore, and like hack and slash. I’d recommend both Hyrule Warriors.

    Definitive Edition you’ll play with a lot of familiar characters, I absolutely love tearing through enemies using the Skull Kid or Young Link who transforms into the Fierce Diety and just obliterates everything in his Path.

    Age of Calamity is in the era of BOTW and it’s a bit more polished and if you liked the characters in that game, you’ll love to play as them. Just parrying guardian lasers with Oborousa, Riju and Link is fun but challenging. And I absolutely love brining down a Lynel with Hetsu.

    I’d also recommend Super Mario 3D World (includes Bowser’s Fury). Lots of fun, but shorter levels and Bowser’s Fury is kind of it’s own open world.

    My only regret with the Switch was not getting it earlier in the console’s cycle. I’ve put so many hours into BOTW, TOKTK, both Hyrule Warriors, Mario Odyssey and Smash Bros.
