The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Using the Heroes Path mode to find all kinds of things I hadn’t discovered. It’s amazing how much is in this game. Last night I found the bowling with snowballs cabin.

its awesome to find new stuff i hope theres even more stuff in the new game

As I wander i’m wearing the korok mask. I’m not trying to get 900, but those lil fuckers are everywhere! Do they ever show up inside shrines? I can’t remember.

naw

apostrophes of the kingdom

i have watched the trailer the game looks incredibly sick there are flying boats

updated village dropped

the game should have mario in the corner of the HUD like that, just to remind you of mario

its a me in the corner

Watched the new trailer and learned Link is the final hope (spoilers).

thats a lot of responsibility

Link must confront Zelda and ask her to please stop crying. "there is no crying in Zelda, please"

link you must find me im down bad

sporadic play-by-play of the Mets-Dodgers series and "money currently on Dodgers" in the corner

i think on a long enough timeline they eventually make a zelda game that has like a surprise section where you play as zelda for a while like halfway through the game but its funny just how resilient they have been to the idea. also the botw nonlinear progression model kinda prevents stuff like that

i also hope they make another 2d zelda someday, they did it with metroid which has me hopeful

lot of people were speculating on playable zelda in this one but idk

smash ultimate has soured me against playable zelda, she was so gd annoying

i think its good to keep the tension of never having her playable even tho the game is named after her

can i set the camera at a crazy dutch angle when link is diving out of the sky like in the trailer

Holy shit this new trailer. I really wasn't going to play this, I do not have time, but ...

lol I know! When I played BOTW I was home during the pandemic and had the time to get lost in it. I'm going to have to play this in thirty minute segments every night with an alarm to make myself get to bed on time.

Adulting suuuuucks

My Switch is kinda gathering dust, and my Playstation backlog is huuuuuuge, but I had such a good time with BOTW that it will be hard to resist. Still, the time before I get to it allows all the nerds to figure out many of the secrets and tricks, which I have no problem with. In fact, at this point it's tradition: I had the original NES, and I beat the original Zelda, but I could not have done it without the (printed! published! possibly mail-ordered!) guide.

gameplay reviews are out, looks pretty fn sick

Those constant disclaimers are hilarious.

Looks cool, like the perfect match of design/material and (relatively limited) console technology. Which makes sense, its predecessor basically perfected open world exploration.

My son and i were trying to ponder how many thousands of hours of footage are going to be on youtube 1 hour after it's released.

I don't know if it's good or bad but he's going to know everything about it within a week.

i recommend looking at as little stuff as possible until you've played the game for like 30 hours

A friend of mine bought a Switch maybe a year ago, and I'm pretty sure I convinced him to buy Breath of the Wild right off the bat. He finally got around to starting it today, and gave me a call with his mind blown. Of course he was overwhelmed, so I told him to doof around for many hours and then when he hits a wall do a quick Google to get over the hump. Compared to impenetrable stuff like Dark Souls or lots of Metroidvanias, it's actually not that bad, considering doing nothing is one of the most important things you can do in Zelda.

The gentle learning curb is one of the best parts.

the idea of someone buying a switch without getting that game is weird but i guess it can happen now that theres 6 years worth of other games and not 1 or 2

i wonder where ultrahand tech will be in a few years

perpetual motion machines

artificial black holes

real milkshakes you can drink in the real world

hmm maybe they should just release it today then

yeah i was briefly perplexed to see it on the anime torrent site earlier when i was looking for something else. zelda is anime confirmed

i preordered a physical copy so i'm half-expecting that i won't be able to play it on release day

all the big online retailers have always managed to ship me switch games on day 1 but this one is probably a busier release than any of the ones i preordered

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/04/us/zelda-nintendo-history.html

i am ready to play the game

ive have purchased the game and it is downloading to my device

i lied i will not be playing this quite yet i have other games to finish

wait it's downloading already? waiting for shipping on mine

its downloading

Is it possible to buy and download remotely or can it only be done via the shop on the Switch?

Shocking amount of goatse in the early going

i'm picking up my preorder tomorrow!

xp nintendo website has a shop but i'm not sure if it can send it straight to your switch or if it gives you a code

Downloading. I’m not ready.

I had a friend cancel dinner plans but now TOTK is downloading so who needs FRIENDS

Kid already found a 20 hour playthrough video on YouTube and I made him swear not to spoil things for me.

He’ll be at school all day tomorrow and my wife has a bunch of meetings but my grades are submitted and I have no obligations other than this

I went to buy a digital copy off the eshop but IT IS FIFTEEN DOLLARS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE FUCKING HARD COPY WTF
