This week on Extra Punctuation, Yahtzee finally talks about why he loves boats and the sea, like in video games like Return of the Obra Dinn, Subnautica, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Extra Punctuation Transcript

It’s become a bit of a running joke over in Zero Punctuation that I seem to automatically like any game that incorporates boats or the ocean. Spiritfarer. Return of the Obra Dinn. Subnautica. My favourite Zelda is Wind Waker. My favourite Assassin’s Creed is Black Flag. There’s a bit in Silent Hill 2 where you have to row a boat. I even made my own game about a boat when I made Something’s In The Sea for Dev Diary.
