In this class, students will learn everything there is to know about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Exploring new mechanics, locating sky islands, fighting new monsters, utilizing new runes, and more will be covered. This course will allow each student to engage with everything regarding this epic of a game while also improving their attention and problem-solving skills! Mr. Chris encourages learners to bring their Nintendo Switches to class so they can ask questions in real-time while playing the game and engaging with both their classmates and the teacher. For this group class, discussion and collaboration among learners are strongly encouraged: Mr. Chris believes this is of key importance for the flow and quality of the class.

Each student in this group of seven learners will receive direct one-on-one attention from the instructor in each lesson. Mr. Chris will answer each learner's individual set of questions - creating a fun, engaging, discussion-based classroom environment! 

**Students are encouraged to bring their Nintendo Switch to class.**

How this ongoing class works:
- Students can join the course at any point. No information from prior classes will be needed to join.
- This format offers greater flexibility to families as they can come and go as they please
- Students will engage in a 'Q&A and Play' each week - making for an active and social learning environment in each class every week.
