10 Breathtaking Video Game Moments We'll NEVER Forget

10. Your First Skydive - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Breath of the Wild had one of the best world reveals in gaming, as stepping out of the Shrine of Resurrection to see Hyrule for the first time was mind-blowing. But then came Tears of the Kingdom, which managed to go even further. 

In this seminal sequel, you return to Hyrule, albeit with some of the gravity turned off. Your first look at the newest area you'll be exploring - The Great Sky Island - comes as you perform a leap of faith, jumping from a great height and soaring through the air. 

In typical Zelda fashion, both the visuals and the score are spectacular. The music swells in a mighty crescendo that feels like the beginning of an epic adventure. Additionally, the dragon seen in the distance adds a dash of magic to this pitch-perfect video game moment - especially with added context on your second play-through.

There was so much concern as to whether this sequel could capture the majesty of its predecessor. However, this moment made it clear from the offset that you had nothing to worry about.
