As a seasoned veteran gamer, Ben knew very well that the previous close-up shots were like the game's guidance screen.
Next, he would definitely need to accept a quest from the old man sitting by the campfire on the hillside, and then go to explore the abandoned temple.
There's almost nothing to discuss about this.
However, Ben wasn't in a hurry to go now. Instead, he first hopped around by himself, and then opened the related interface to study it.
First of all, the entire game's user interface is very simple, trying to fill the entire screen with the game's content as much as possible, so that players can have a stronger sense of immersion into the game.
Secondly, it's about some simple settings in the game.
Running and climbing all consume the green stamina bar. When it's completely exhausted, Link will stop and take a few breaths, and then the stamina bar will slowly recover.
Similar to most games, as a qualified fire starter and azure star, he's extremely familiar with this stamina bar thing.
The only thing that made him a little scared was, could this "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" be a soul-like game?
Although the game's graphics are very cartoonish and very dreamlike.
The title of 'Warrior of Love' isn't just something I'm bragging about.
It was earned by playing one convincing game after another.
Especially on the new generation of VR platforms, the very cruel 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' and 'Red Dead Redemption: Redemption' were released one after another, each one hitting the heart like a knife.
And the most important point is that Lucas doesn't make every game heartbreaking.
For example, "Animal Crossing" and "Super Mario: Odyssey" are very happy.
When you think it's going to be heartbreaking, it doesn't, and when you think it won't be heartbreaking, it hits you hard.
It's simply impossible to guard against!
"This climbing system is awesome!" Ben said with some surprise on his face.
Because he discovered that not only rocks can be climbed.
Even some trees can be climbed, and around the trees there are many apples that can be picked.
In addition, Ben also found a tree branch on the ground.
Looking at its stats, it's obviously an early-game weapon.
Then, after arriving at the hillside, a mysterious old man was sitting there waiting for Link to talk to him.
At the same time, there was also a torch and an apple next to him.
When you pick them up, it will trigger a conversation.
From it, you can learn some of the game's features, such as the torch can be lit, and food like apples can also be cooked.
And cooked food can increase more health.
Looking at the torch and apple on the ground, Ben decisively took both of them.
Next, through the conversation with the mysterious old man, he learned some content about the game's plot.
The place where Link is now is a place called the Great Plateau.
It is said that it used to be the birthplace of the Kingdom of Hyrule. The dilapidated temple that was shown in the previous close-up shot was the temple where the Kingdom of Hyrule used to hold sacrificial ceremonies.
But after the Kingdom of Hyrule was destroyed by Calamity Ganon 100 years ago, this temple was abandoned.
"Can fire light these things? Then, besides the torch, can the tree branch be lit?" After listening to the mysterious old man's introduction, Ben looked at the tree branch on his body.
Standing next to the campfire, Ben switched to the tree branch, but before he could figure it out, he saw the tree branch's model in the game accidentally brushed against the campfire and was instantly lit.
"It really lit up!"
Ben looked like an curious child who had seen a new toy, with surprise in his eyes.
Then he held the tree branch in his hand and came to an old crooked-neck tree next to him, and roasted the apples on the tree with the burning tree branch.
As a puff of smoke came out, the apples on the tree were roasted into black, ripe apples and fell from the tree.
"You can play like this!" Ben couldn't help but exclaim.
Like discovering a new toy, he brought the tree branch closer to the apple next to him, and after two or three seconds, another ripe apple fell.
And at this moment, the burning tree branch in Link's hand in the game suddenly turned to ashes.
At the same time, weapons in the game all have a durability setting.
If they run out of durability, they will disappear directly, instead of having a durability of 0 like other games, but you can go to a blacksmith to repair it and then use it again.
Looking at this setting, Ben was also surprised.
Then, if he gets a divine weapon in the future, will there be a limited number of uses?
Looking at the campfire in front of him, Ben took out the torch again, then waved it and looked at the lit torch, he was studying it with great interest.
As for going to the temple to take a look, as the mysterious old man said, he temporarily put this matter aside.
The current Ben is just like Christopher Columbus discovering the New World, he is very excited.
At the same time, if you point the torch at the grass, you will find that these grasses are not just textures.
Under the roasting of the flames, these grasses are instantly ignited.
As a gentle breeze blows, these flames actually intensify and even spread directly.
When approaching the source of the fire, Link will also be burned by the spreading flames.
The burnt grass will also realistically turn into scorched earth.
Some small animals and insects on the grass can also be interacted with.
For example, after Link unceremoniously accepted the axe that the old man used to chop trees, he can use it to cut down the grass, and you will find some grasshoppers and other insects that can be captured.
It's just that these insects are different from mushrooms and apples, which don't move. They disappear in the blink of an eye, so you obviously need to pay close attention to catch them.
A real interaction.
This is Ben's current feeling.
Although the art style of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is a cartoon style.
But it gave Ben a very wonderful feeling.
With the campfire as the center, Ben kept cutting grass with the axe to catch grasshoppers, and then using the torch to light the surrounding bushes to burn the mountain, having a great time.
Without rushing to the temple that looked like a quest trigger point, Ben wandered around.
When he got the axe and moved the mouse to the right, Ben found a protruding stone platform in the center of the lake, with a sword on it.
On the lake surface under his feet, there was also a circular wreath, seemingly hinting at the player.
Subconsciously, Ben felt that there might be something good here, so he jumped down without thinking.
The moment he entered the water, a little guy with a green, face-like leaf appeared on the lake surface.
"Yah ha ha! I've been discovered!"
"Huh? I thought it was Borklin, scared me."
"You...you can see me? I'm called Korok, I'm a forest spirit! Oh, that's right! If you see Borklin, please give this to him!"
[Korok Seed: A small seed given by Korok, something good will happen after collecting it. It smells a bit..."
Wait! This thing is poop!
Looking at the seed in front of him, Ben directly said he was drunk.
Not only does it look like it, but also with the explanation that it smells a bit at the end, it's hard not to think about it!
However, Ben also knew that this thing should be one of the collection elements in the game.
As for exchanging it, it should be the NPC Borklin, but he doesn't know what this seed can be exchanged for yet.
After accepting this poop-like seed, Ben came to the island in the center of the lake and pulled out the sword.
But what made Ben speechless was that this was not the high-level weapon he imagined at all.
It's just an ordinary sword, and it's still a rusty sword. According to the description, it will break after a few uses.
But fortunately, its attack power is much higher than the old man's axe.
