i’m legit obsessed with this game atm.
breath of the wild on the nintendo switch best represents life.
i bought this game in 2021 during the lockdown.
during that time,
i wasn’t in the right headspace for it.
i picked it up twice and each time,
i felt overwhelmed.
like my own life around that time,
i felt intimated by this big forest in front of me.
in zelda,
once you move past a particular section,
the world opens up for you to explore.
each time…

I’d do some objectives and put the game down.
When I went back to it,
I forgot what to do and how to play.

for this third time of picking it up,
i have managed to defeat 2 bosses out of the four.
i’m currently onto the 3rd.

it has been taking me some time because i’ve been exploring heavy.

Literally,
I’ve been around most of the map.
Whenever I see enemies,
I pull up on em like I’ve arrived.
Legit be on some “I’m here!” and get to swinging.

what i realized is like my own life,
i was scared to explore and put myself out there.
life,
like zelda,
isn’t like that.
link starts off weak but as you play the game,
he becomes stronger due to armor and weaponry.
learning how to handle threats becomes a breeze.
the puzzles you have to solve aren’t that much of a challenge either.
the game becomes easier due to everything you learn along the way.
there is a message here.
you can follow the path to your main objectives and be done or…

You can see what else is out there off the beaten path.

i’ve learned thats where all the fun and blessings are.
