In Part 3 of our Tears of the Kingdom Video Game Book Club, we reached our first Regional Phenomena, recruited a Sage companion, knocked out a handful of shrines, and uncovered our first Dragon Tear memory.

This week we dig into what makes combat in TOTK actually feel good, the magic behind its environmental storytelling, and how the game keeps surprising us. Kayla got zapped by lightning. Jerica may or may not be preparing to slay a dragon. Spiritually. Maybe literally.

Checkpoint Completed:
– First Regional Phenomena
– One Sage companion
– 4–8 shrines
– One Dragon Tear memory

Next Checkpoint (Part 4):
– Another Sage companion
– 4+ more shrines
– Another Dragon Tear memory
