The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom review – pure magic

Since I first hit start on Tears of the Kingdom two weeks ago, scarcely a minute has passed when I was not either playing it, or wishing I was playing it. I am honestly slightly annoyed to be taking time away from it to write this review.

I am a grown 34-year-old woman and video games rarely get their hooks into me the way they did when I was 8, or 18, and relatively free of responsibilities. But now and then, every few years, I play something that reminds me that video games are kind of magic. They can transport you somewhere else. They can make time disappear. They can, sometimes, immerse you so totally in their worlds that they can make you see the real world a little differently.
