One of the most frustrating parts of a game tends to be the beginning. Factors like pacing, characters and story may be the reason for this, but there is one part that stands out the most.

Tutorials

In today's episode of the Documentary of Breath of the Wild we analyze the Great Plateau to see if it truly stands out from other game's tutorials!
