A platform and adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and released for PlayStation 2 in 2001, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is the first entry in the long-running series of the same name. The story centers on a young teenager named Jak, who sets out to restore his friend Daxter after Daxter is transformed into an ottsel — a fictional creature combining traits of an otter and a weasel. Gameplay spans a wide variety of activities across its open environments, including platforming stages, puzzles, and numerous minigames that function as the primary means of progressing through the narrative. Collectables and multi-part objectives add further structure to the experience. The game was later made available on PlayStation 4, broadening access to what remains one of Naughty Dog's most celebrated early works.
The opening sequence of the game features Jak and Daxter in a speedboat headed for Misty Island, an area prohibited by their watch over Samos. Upon arriving to the island, Daxter had second thoughts about straying from the village. The two perch on a large skeleton to observe a legion of lurkers crowded around two dark figures, Gol and Maia, who were commanding the lurkers to "deal harshly with anyone who strays from the village," and to search for any precursor artifacts and eco near Sandover Village.[4] After the secret observation, Jak and Daxter continue searching the island. Daxter trips on a dark eco canister which he tosses to Jak after expressing his dislike for the item, and as Jak caught the object it lit up. Shortly afterwards a bone armor lurker suddenly confronted the two, where Jak threw the dark eco canister at the lurker, killing it, but inadvertently knocked Daxter into a dark eco silo behind him. When Daxter reemerged, he was in the form of an ottsel, and upon realizing the transformation he began to panic.
