So these past few days has been very taxing for me personally, I've got a game jam coming up with a deadline on Friday so I've been busy trying to get a game done since then.
Today, I was feeling super burnt out and was almost ready to give the entire thing up. In spite of not really wanting to lift a finger, I went to the grocery store to maybe get some energy drinks.
And this. THIS happens.
COMPLETELY out of left field, a shadow dropped trailer for a goddamn BotW prequel in Warriors style.
I couldn't believe it. It was BotW2-pinching-my-arm all over again. All of a sudden, my motivation and happiness has spiked again and I'm ready to resume work.
I think I'm mostly excited by the whole thing, the fact that it's a much more close-knit cooperation between the original dev team and Koei. It seems to be so much more authentic and true to the lore than the original HW. I love, love, love that we're getting new cutscenes, and that we get to play as the champions, which just looks too dope for words - but my big takeaway is that there seems to be gameplay involving the runes, with that shot of Zelda going Stasis on a Lynel I think.
And November 20. Damn, I might just go ahead and explode already.
This is why I play video games.
