3 years ago, when I first time play Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I was deeply addicted. Every day I opened my eyes, I was wandering around the continent of Hyrule. When I closed the game and returned to reality, I inevitably felt lost. I asked myself, why am I so obsessed with this game? Aside from the fact that it's super fun, another reason is curiosity.
I am a player who likes to explore, where strange noises are heard, where things are glowing, no matter how dangerous the path is, I will definitely go and check it out. So why can't I use that curiosity in the real world as well? The real world is far bigger and more peculiar than the world in the game. How great would it be if reality could be like the game world.
Then, I suddenly realised, why not? If you think life as an honour mode RPG, every time you learn you will get a new skill, every time you overcome an obstacle you will get experience. Then everything that bothers me, that binds me in the same place will be worthless. So I opened a new map, starting with applying to Leiden University's Masters programme in Media Technology. This website documents my adventures over the past two years. During these 2 years, with my curiosity I tried out a variety of skills and did a lot of interesting research. And my adventure is still going on, I will make the most interesting game (life) ever!
