I beat Tears of the Kingdom last night and wanted to share a few thoughts (no spoilers) (beehaw.org)

First of all, that final battle was a wild ride! One of the phases took me a minute to figure out, but it was so much fun, and really connected with some of the unique themes of this entry.

I didn’t get nearly as close to 100% as I did in BotW. In the first game, I did every shrine and all of the side quests, but there is just so much more content to this game. I worried that if I tried to complete everything before the final battle, the game would overstay its welcome, and I would finish with a feeling of “just get it over with.”

I’ve actually found that sentiment to be true with a lot of larger games recently. I want to end on a high emotional note, even if it means completing less side content.

Yeah i think you found the boss on accident if that's the quest name you were seeing.

But so did I, so this can't be that uncommon. I question the design of having some mid-game content in the same (surface) place as the end-game because it becomes unclear what you're being pointed at. Put simply, tell me to walk towards the giant chasm; I'm jumping in.

I realized I wasn't supposed to be there yet when I recognized a typical pre-boss pattern that Zelda games use a lot. Trying to avoid spoilers there.

WTF. That would explain a lot. Now I'm wondering how much of the main story did I skip.

But that also makes that fight seem even more disappointing, to me, since i managed to easily beat it early.
