Young Aloy Is Just the Best
As was revealed in a trailer for the game, Horizon Zero Dawn doesn’t just focus on Aloy as a young adult, taking down machines with relative ease. The story also takes the time to dive into her younger years leading up to the real meat of the story. In doing so, Horizon Zero Dawn provides you with the context needed for her development throughout the game to truly shine. You’ll learn a lot about who Aloy is as a person in these parts, and it’s where you’ll really begin to care about her.
Her acts of selflessness and courage from such a young age are telltale signs that she’s got that hero DNA inside her, with plenty of potential in her future. Young Aloy is inquisitive and kind hearted, and it’s this combination of traits that really drives her search for answers and makes her cause such an easy one to be invested in.
