![]() ![]() The puzzles still have similar solutions to the Great Sky Island but there's an extra element of challenge brought on by the environment which serves to create a series of throwbacks to everything that you have had to work out up until this point. This is continued into the ensuing Construct Factory and Spirit Temple, yes, but it's on the Thunderhead Isles that I really felt like the game was saying "Let's see what you have learned since the Great Sky Island, then". Yes, the Isles are cool in and of themselves because of how they show just how much of the game you still have to go after the 'Regional Phenomena' quest - as confirmed by 'dehydrated' Phantom Ganondorf in Hyrule Castle - but they were cooler for me because they served as something of a victory lap to the game's main questline. I didn't want to spoil the surprise for myself and I am glad that I made this call. But, if you play like me, then the intimidating swirl of clouds was enough to make you think "That looks cool, I bet I'm going to be told to head into it later on". This late-game area - like most things in Tears of the Kingdom - is technically accessible from the second you touch down in Hyrule and get your Paraglider. Now that is out of the way, I'll say it: the Thunderhead Isles are awesome. The content of this questline is a real treat to experience first-hand, so take it on for yourself before reading the following article because, yes, there are spoilers ahead. With that in mind, let me stress the following: if you have not been told to visit the Thunderhead Isles, started the 'Secret of the Ring Ruins' quest, or battled your way through a heavy storm to find out what's inside that perilous-looking cloud that swirls over the Faron region, do not read on. This would have been an easy thing to spoil online, especially in the game's early weeks, so thank you, fellow Hylian explorers, for keeping it under your (Minish) caps. As I worked my way through The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's 'Regional Phenomena' quest, I had no idea where the game might take me next, nor that what would come would introduce me to one of my favourite new areas in this all-too-familiar Hyrule. I will preface all of this with a thank you to every Zelda fan on social media. ![]() Today, Jim sings the praises of one of Tears of the Kingdom's later-game areas. ![]() Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they've been chewing over. ![]()
