@G0dlike
Yeah, also, even if both the game and the console get released and dispatched on the same day, we've still got things like delivery times to consider. (So either way, it's not actually going to be on day one that any of us who pre-ordered it will actually have it in our hands, except for anyone who ordered it from a store they can physically collect it from). So for all of us who ordered that involves a delivery method, it's highly probable that one will come before the other. (so we'll either have a console without a game for a few days, or a game without a console, if you know what I mean). I've ordered both the WiiU version of this game aswell as the switch version, so if my WiU version comes first, at least I can get stuck into playing the game while I'm waiting for the rest!

Yeah. Played Oblivion and Skyrim (not so much, but i'll buy it for Switch) from myself, and The Witcher 3 at a friend's house. And i have to say that between this three, Witcher is the worst to me gameplay-wise

I've got 2 switches and 2 copies of Zelda ordered. One will be dispatched in the post so will arrive around lunch time, the other is by Amazon so could be anytime between early morning and early evening!! @GoronBrudda

@jump We can always make an exception for Nintendo

@FGPackers Why though? I'd understand it if it was the other way around, but to me The Witcher 3 beats most games that came out this generation. If there is one game Zelda should be taking cues from, it's TW3.

@Haru17 I'm thinking Mario will come in November on "Nintendo Day" (17th November is Nintendo Day this year).

@Octane It feels pretty wooden and rigid in most things. I tried to do something and in a good number of cases Geralt would do it differently enough to make me feel odd and weird, especially in little spaces. Oh...and let's not talk about the dodge move: slow and rough

TBH I look at the BOTW controls and I find it odd that the jump and run buttons aren't next to each other, wait and see tho.

I imagine it won't matter too much. The worst I can see happening is accidentally tapping the action or attack button.

I've never really played W3, so I wouldn't know what to say about it. As far as my experience goes with Open World games, I've played a bit of games like Dragon's Dogma, Skyrim, Fallout and Dragon Age. I never really finished them. I'm hoping since I have a previous liking to Zelda, I'll actually finish.

Edit: Actually do you think BotW will allow us to swap controls around? Or do Zelda games not allow that.

I couldn't disagree more, comfortable controls can make or break a game. If I'm gonna run and jump off a cliff and at the last moment Link starts waving a sword about every time I try to do it or if it takes slightly longer which breaks up the flow of a boss battle than I will get annoyed.

Eh, I don't know. I don't think it'll bother me too much tbh. I tried it out on my PS4 (for what that's worth) and it didn't seem like an issue to me.

@FGPackers Combat can be a bit finicky at times, I agree, but I've also seen a lot worse. But anyway, I though we were talking about music, gameplay, story and whatnot. Because in terms of world building, lore and story it's absolutely amazing. And it's pretty much the first game that has acceptable looking faces on NPCs, that's a first too lol.

@jump Jumping with X will feel weird at first. The Last Guardian did it too, took me a while to figure out how to jump. Years of playings Mario and other platformers certainly doesn't help, but you'll get used to it pretty quickly I think.

@-Green- @jump In a menu screenshot i saw that jump button can be changed

@Octane

@FGPackers if true, that's nice to hear.

A new trailer released on the Japanese BotW site. Mostly rehashed stuff from the January trailer, but some of the scenes are extended and we see some brand new shots of Zelda. Nothing too spoilery, but stay away, if you want to know as little as possible.

@-Green- Take a look here

I will resist! Only three more weeks!

Today's Facebook screenshot isn't really that spoilery, despite containing one seemingly little new thing. I think these at least are safe, but here's a tag nonetheless.
