Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Also just noticed that the file size of the game has apparently decreased. It used to be 18.2GB, right? Just looked at the game's eShop listing again, and now it's 15.9. That seems a fairly significant difference. Optimization/compression to get it to fit on a 16 gig game card? Or did they cut a whole chunk out to save for DLC?

@imagazelle
Could be either. My SD card won’t complain though. Space is already limited.

I wonder what happens if you fuse a keese wing on your sword? Will Link slash faster?

I want to make a soup-sword which will restore the baddies health when I attack them.

@jump
Or alternatively a dubious food sword where it gives the enemy intense nausea.

It's a really snazzy Switch OLED. A perfect send-off as the the last Switch I'll ever buy.

@JaxonH
Looks nice! I actually like it more than a lot of the special editions.

Excuse me for asking what is probably a stupid question: when I download TotK it will go on my micro SD card, right?

@k8sMum When your sd card is inserted, the sd card autmatically becomes the default storage for new games. So, if your sd card is inserted, TOTK should go to your sd card when you download it.

@WoomyNNYes That's what I thought. I've got 39 gig open so it will be ok. Thanks muchly!

This one seems more believable than other "leaks".

@JaxonH Wow, that's snazzy!

Probably should have waited until the Zelda SWOLED released to jump on the train, but... eh. I've enjoyed my extra time with the system.

This is going to be a Major Test of Strength for me... whenever I look at leaks for games I always get disappointed when it shows stuff that's too spoilery, but at the same time, I can't look away from them. I already saw the ones from this morning and it wasn't anything too major, but I'm going to try to stay away from them for as long as I can.

I feel blessed as I do not care about spoilers as it does not make games less enjoyable at all I even love to see spoilers as I am curious

It's on piracy sites now so there's going to be many thousands of people playing it so obviously spoilers are going to be even more common.

@Ralizah
Once Switch 2 is released it won't make a difference, cause we'll all be upgrading to that eventually anyways.

It is a nice looking system though, as is the Splatoon 3 variant.

Watched a minute or so of a person streaming this game. Oh boy. Turned it off before the spoilers got too extensive, although it did answer one of the questions I had about the game.

@JaxonH Assuming there's BC, that's about where I'm at. The SWOLED was mainly a stopgap to make my current games look better while waiting for new hardware.

Awww man, the vehicles and other stuff you build don't last, so no mega builds or creative freedom from the videos I've been watching
The stuff you can build just break like the old weapons used too, you are also reliant on grinding mats to build a new machine (to a recipe) that completes a mobile game style puzzle just to get a Korok seed.

So am I right in thinking…
this is the first Zelda game which doesn’t start by Link waking up?

@Chaotic_Neutral You should really use spoiler tags for your comment. [spoiler] [/ spoiler] (remove the space between "/" and "s")

@jump first I need you to spoil the spoiler so I know if I should click on your spoiler. Otherwise expect nothing from me 🙃
