We’ve landed. In this episode of JK! Games! Book Club, we’ve officially completed our first checkpoint in Tears of the Kingdom — and Hyrule is opening it's butthole wide for us.

We discuss reaching Lookout Landing, unlocking the Skyview Tower, getting the Paraglider, and choosing our first steps in the open world. We also share our reactions to returning characters like Purah and Robbie, how this sequel builds on Breath of the Wild, and what new mechanics and mysteries have already hooked us.

This episode sets the stage for the real adventure ahead, and we announce next week’s checkpoint — tackling our first Regional Phenomena (Rito, Zora, Goron, or Gerudo). Pick your path and play along with us!

Checkpoint just completed:

Finish the Great Sky Island
Reach Lookout Landing
Unlock the Skyview Tower + Paraglider
Talk to Purah and Robbie

Next week’s checkpoints:
1. Complete one of the four Regional Phenomena questlines
2. Complete 8 Shrines
3. Find a Dragon Tear memory
