When the tutorial area is over, you are dropped down in the Hyrule plains, and the game completely opens up. The beautiful nature with the occasional wildlife running around was delightfully calm and didn't try to pull my attention in a particular direction. There was something unique about how 'normal' this landing place felt - like a random location in the Danish countryside, nothing particularly attracting your attention, and a feeling of complete freedom to walk in any direction. So far, this was the best part of the game.

I played around a bit with the physics system and character controller with Martin F, speculating on whether the character had a physics simulation or, what seems more likely, a custom implementation based on a collider.

I borrowed a copy from Martin F, and started playing from the beginning.

I almost thought the intro music was generated, it sounded a bit like it, but then it seemed to loop a lot as well. After getting out of the caves, there is some pleasantly sparse ambient music.
