1. Island of Winds

Tags: adventure, puzzle, exploration, 3D

My selection opens with a breath of fresh air into the gaming world - a game based on the folklore of 17th century Iceland. The realism of the graphics, coupled with the vast locations and mythical creatures that are unusual for us, attract attention. There is a feeling that the game will seem boring to many, especially considering the game's tags. Despite the release in 2025, there is not much time left, so it is worth focusing on advertising and hoping that the game will not have stuffy moments, because in combination with dim, foggy locations, this can ruin the game at its beginning.

WW Link was raised on a tiny little island by his grandmother, with his closest in age peer being his baby sister. Both his grandmother and the two old men on the island taught him on stories of past Heroes and knightly valor. The only other family on the island has two little toddlers who adore and follow him around as if he hung the stars. This boy was raised to be a gentleman who helps everyone without hesitation, a perfect example of ideal knightly chivalry, protecting and caring for women, children and the elderly.

And then the day he enters adolescence, filled with stories of the Hero saving his Princess and the kingdom, he meets a girl his age for the first time in his life, captured and in danger just like the damsels in distress from his stories.

And she instantly starts bullying him

Because Tetra was raised by pirates who obey her every command without hesitation. This girl is half feral, will stab unprovoked, and has probably never heard the words 'manners' or 'no' in life. For all her ignorance of her lineage, she is still a spoiled princess, just instead of proper tutors and nursemaids at her beckon call she has a rowdy crew of pseudo uncles and brothers that are trying their best to raise this little girl but are still pirates. She says "I'm bored. Let's fight a sea monster!" and they gleefully say "Yes Miss Tetra! Here's your sword!" without hesitation.

And Link falls in love, with this feral gremlin, who thinks it's funny to shoot him out of a catapult, across open ocean, face first, into a wall, of a heavily armed enemy fortress.

And once their adventure is done, his little sister decides this is her new rolemodel.

And now Link is the Hero and Tetra is the Princess, and they're tasked with re-founding the kingdom of Hyrule.

And I really want to see more of their dynamic in this lifetime than we see in their two games. I want to see Grandma's reaction to meeting the Princess that her grandson loves and granddaughter idolizes. I want to see him attempting to woo her using how he was taught to treat people, and her just being so confused by all this sappy softness. I want to see the kingdom of Hyrule that was founded by a fierce Pirate Queen and her tender gentleman Hero, before it was stabilized by any future generations. Because the dichotomy of their upbringings has such comedic potential that is not utilized enough.

Gamescom 2024 "The Heart of Gaming" #1 🎮

🎮 The first selection of games from Gamescom 2024 with the beautiful name "The Heart of Gaming" 🎮

1. Island of Winds

Tags: adventure, puzzle, exploration, 3D

My selection opens with a breath of fresh air into the gaming world - a game based on the folklore of 17th century Iceland. The realism of the graphics, coupled with the vast locations and mythical creatures that are unusual for us, attract attention. There is a feeling that the game will seem boring to many, especially considering the game's tags.

2. Hotel Galactic

Tags: colony simulator, base building, cute

A simulation game inspired by Studio Ghibli films, the goal is to build a nice place for tourists with the help of a small team of characters. The trailer makes it seem like the game will be similar to Spiritfarer. But based on the gameplay seen on the stream, where there was nothing but running characters with resources for construction, as well as cooking, in which the player does not really participate, the hope fades that the game will not be similar to mobile games, like the well-known Cats & Soup.

3. Symphonia

Tags: precision platformer, challenging

A challenging sleight of hand game with a beautiful trailer in the style of the Hollow Knight games. Saturated colors and location details hold attention, and their diversity allows you to look at each location for a very long time. Painfully bright colors are not used, which makes the game pleasing to the eye and interesting in the dynamics of the main character's movements.

(ralph has survivors guilt)

These two should meet. I think they'd get along

Fanfic prompt : Considering how important the hero of the wind was to the rito

What if they actually started war shipping Wind

Who kind of didn’t notice that and just thought they were happy he saved their dragon

Like Valoo is definitely someone they honor greatly because he gifted them his scales and gave them wings in their need to escape the Dead Sea

And he was extremely upset recently and nobody knows how to help him

Till a kid blessed by the wind gods appears and saved him

While also calming him down again

Inspired the son of the chief to try earning his wings

Then the one rito who could speak to Valoo was sent with him to go to an ancient temple called the earth temple where she reconnected with their ancestors

Also the dragon went and burns down a random fortress for his savior

And then the hero went on an adventure to find new land for all of them to live in

And also gained even more power in the form of seeing ghosts and stop time (phantom hourglass)

Succeeded at finding land

And everyone moved

And considering that breath of the wild has outright named him when speaking about the heroes of the past when they thanked the winds ,the twilight and time while Flora sounded like she couldn’t care less)

I am kind of surprised that the Rito and the Zora don’t care about someone who reunited them with eachother

Like imagine if the chain gets dropped off in rito village and the rito (who already were shown to not care THAT much for hylian heroes but still remember revali)

Just ignored everyone else but the ancient hero of their people (if the hylians get to remember the hero of time then the rito definitely remember someone as important to them )

The Zora too would just warship him because they would have never seen their sister race if not for the hero of winds

Like it would have been so funny if the random races had remembered the hero of winds

For all he did for them

Like they got to consider him the next best thing after sliced bread
