I HATE TEARS OF THE KINGDOM

I really wanted to love this game. I couldn't. Here's why. This is my first ever video essay, and my first attempt at making any sort of long form content, ever. It took me over a year to make, but Tears of the Kingdom broke me down so bad that I had no choice. Thanks so much for watching!
