Something I unambiguously love about TotK is how they have re-imagined the Gibdo.

Previous entries in the Zelda series portrayed them as mummies, an undead enemy wrapped in bandages, often able to be set on fire for either bonus damage, or to burn away their wrappings to make them more vulnerable to damage. In the 3D games, they behave identically to another undead enemy type, the ReDead, inheriting their nightmare inducing shriek that paralyzes Link as they slowly lumber towards them for their attack.

(Images of a Gibdo from OoT3D, a ReDead from Oot3D and a Gibdo from TotK)

In Tears of the Kingdom the Gibdo are visually similar to the early 3D ReDead. While they now lack their petrifying screech, they are still immensely durable, barely taking any damage from physical attacks. This durability can be stripped away, much like older Gibdo, with elemental damage.

On top of that, there are also flying variants, which have mothlike wings, further tying these already undead enemies to symbols of death. The boss version, Queen Gibdo, goes even further. Having a full on insectoid body composition.

I may have accidentally run into the final boss event while exploring in TotK. Whoops.

Now that I am done with Tears of the Kingdom I can officially say

Wind Waker Ganondorf reigns supreme as the best Ganon incarnation still.

Step up your game, Nintendo.

The moment that hit me the hardest in all of TotK was not even something that was scripted in the game.

Spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom below the cut.

After learning of Zelda's fate in this distant past and getting the Master Sword, you are dropped off at the Temple of Time in the sky. Just as I got control over Link back, I see a spectral feminine silhouette, roughly the size of Link, standing on the pathway ahead. I fully expected it to be the spirit of Zelda, there to impart some final words to her Champion after retrieving the Master Sword, but it was only Riju.

I felt down for the rest of the evening after that.

Finished TotK and enjoyed it a lot, with some caveats.

Overall, if you liked BotW and want more of what it brought, you'll love TotK. It is a more refined version of what BotW and adds some new, very fun things to the table.

But man, playing this back to back with Elden Ring has made me SO SICK of open world game design.
