Lawn and order: the evergreen appeal of grass-cutting in video games

The Guardian

Jessica used to come for tea on Tuesdays, and all she wanted to do was cut grass. Because she was a couple of years younger than me, she couldn't encounter a ChuChu or a Bokoblin without dying, so instead she'd spend hours slicing at virtual greenery. At the time, I found it a little annoying. In hindsight, I understand that Jessica was simply following in the footsteps of our ancestors. Grass-cutting has been a mainstay of video games for decades.
