Jason 4 President The thing about botw is that you can do whatever you want really. The best part of the game is just exploring. Explore the world and what you’re supposed to do becomes more clear. But if you’re really confused, check your quest list, and if necessary, look up guides for help.
The object of the game is to pick a lot of flowers and hit goblins on their heads with a wooden stick. When it breaks you have to find a new stick. Sometimes there are people to talk to
14:27 As someone who was 11 at that time, that hit pretty hard. Watching such a well made video made by someone much younger than me leaves me feeling both very old but also very impressed. Great job!
