zelda botw: left the opening area in session 2 and on a world tour to activate most of the map-giving towers. several hours evaporated just like that

when the joycons ran out of juice i switched to portable mode and continued right on. very slick, though the portable mode battery went down pretty quickly, too

i really like how they give you like 5 key gameplay tools in just the prologue. really sets you up to Do Things from the start instead of Wanting To Do Things But Can't So Must Return Later

also really impressed with how vast yet designed the world feels. somehow nails this better than typical bethesda games
