And the chorus of ''but it's not a Zelda game'' .. begins in 3 .. 2 ..

The timeline ''experts'' are going to lose their ****. ( PS: There is NO timeline ! )

@Vriess The Amazon US page says its being sold and distributed, as an import, by Amazon.

TotK is the far superior game. But BotW is being sold at a greater discount and is cheaper than TotK, so this is not surprising.

It's also available on Amazon US for pre-order for US $ 193.99.

Unless the switch successor also has detachable controllers that are compatible with this - what's the point ?

The Zelda Switch Lite is up for pre-order in the US on BestBuy !!! ... but no where else as of yet for some reason

It will be difficult for the Switch successor to match the Switch's success ( say that 5 times fast LOL ) simply as the Switch has probably reached the saturation point and then some - especially when people are buying 2 or 3 devices.

Of course I am sure there are the usual suspects out there who will deem the Switch 2 a failure if it does not match the Switch's number in sales.

Theory # 4: THERE IS NO TIMELINE !!!

Hard pass. For this and for Luigi 2. I didn't mind the $70 for TotK and would have paid for any additional DLC. But hell to the no on these two games.

@Lofoten My point is that the Japanese website has the amiibo icon for the new Zelda game. Mario Wonder never had it - hence no Elephant Mario amiibo. I don't think Nintendo is in the habit of releasing amiibo for games that do not support amiibo. I have no idea what the ''discussion'' may have been - nor do I care. Wonder did not have amiibo support - so - no amiibo.

Do the UK retailers ship to the US ?

With the game coming out in September ... and with Nintendo usually having a Direct in September ... it would not surprise me that they would announce one then.

@Lofoten But Super Mario Bros Wonder never had amiibo support to begin with - which is probably why we never got a Mario Elephant amiibo.

@mikejs78 No. There isn't. The Zelda creators came up with the one for Hyrule Historia just to stop the speculation that was running rampant on the internet. Unfortunately it did not work and has only made timeline speculation even worse. The Zelda creators do not care about any supposed timeline - fan-created or otherwise.

@PinderSchloss If you want to play a ''classic Zelda'' then go play one. A Link to the Past is my favorite Zelda game going on 30 + years now and I still play A Link to the Past to this day ... I just choose not to live in the past.

Fantastic !!! Now give us a new Zelda amiibo - a la the Link's Awakening Link amiibo ... oh and paired GOLD joy-cons for the non-Lite Switches !!! .... Squeeze every last dollar out of our pockets before the new system launches, Nintendo !!! We know you want to !!!

So-called Zelda ''historians'' need to get a grip. ... And newsflash: THERE IS NO TIMELINE !!!

Now give us a new Zelda amiibo to match the Link's Awakening amiibo !!!

Yet another comment section filled with loads of negativity about one of the greatest games ever made.

Two words for Xmas 2024 ... PRICE DROP !!!

The one drawback to officially announcing a June Nintendo Direct is the endless speculation YouTuber's and others will have until then.

VERY hard pass on this !!! ... It's bad enough I am still waiting on the Daruk statue that I pre-ordered one year ago ( March 1, 2023 ) to arrive. But ain't no way I would shell out for this. Fingers crossed that they make figures out of the TotK amiibo as they did with the BotW amiibo though. Just would be nice to get them this century if they do.

I preordered the Urbosa figure when it was first announced and it took 9 months to arrive. I also preordered the Daruk figure when it was announced shortly after ordering the Urbosa figure - and it has been nearly a year since that time. First 4 truly needs to get their youknowwhat together. Hard pass on the sheikah slate. Hopefully Ganondorf from TotK is on the drawing board and will come out some time this century.

You forgot the Sora amiibo due to be released on Feb 16 ... not that anyone will actually be able to purchase it.

Good luck trying to play Baldur's Gate 3 on ANY handheld device, let alone the Switch. The menus and text would be unreadable.

Player 5 is the GOAT !!! I've watched his Twitch stream for a couple of years now. Even though his focus during his streams is the speedrunning, he talks to chat members and is never condescending or obscene. He also posts his WR speedruns on his YouTube channel as his typical Twitch streams usually run 6 to 7 hours. He has also done a BotW/TotK back to back speedrun so you can instantly see the major changes that have occurred from then until now. There continue to be changes and new glitches to the TotK so it will be interesting to see where the speedrun goes in the future. Subscribe and support him if you can.

@Everythingnotsaved TotK is a direct sequel, so of course it was going to use resources of the original. But if you cannot recognize how much has changed from the BotW, then your bias against the game is showing and I feel sorry for you if you cannot enjoy it as much as, and even moreso than, the original.

@Reztobi You're reply was very patronizing, to say the least.

THERE. IS. NO. TIMELINE.

Get over it, people.

Unfortunately, it had to take a game nearly 10 times ( Baldur's Gate 150 GB ) the size of TotK ( 16 GB ) and on outdated hardware to beat it for GOTY.

BotW won GOTY in 2017. TotK improved on BotW in nearly every aspect of the game. It does not deserve the backlash and the hate that it gets simply for being a true masterpiece of a game.

As much as I love and adore Tears of the Kingdom. I am not fond of the Sage abilities and tend to turn them off as soon as I get them. They are rather useless as they just run around and are difficult to activate - unlike BotW simple button controls of the Champion abilities. Also the cut and paste job they did with the cutscenes with the ancient sages after you obtain each one is annoying as all get out - that thankfully they are skippable. Also disappointed in the lack of a Master Mode where I was hoping to fight gold level enemies again. Still my GOTY though.

All of the hate that TotK gets in comments sections like these simply proves how truly great the game is.

TotK Ganondorf is clearly delegating responsibility to the countless Bokoblins, Moblins, etc. Why get his perfectly manicured hands and pedicured feet all dirty ? But I agree, if he wants to rule Hyrule, I would think he would want to do so from the Surface, not the Depths.

I also don't quite understand why Flux Constructs are in The Depths since they are Zonai devices, not Ganon minions.

Still the boss fights against TotK Ganondorf and Demon Dragon Ganon are far superior to BotW Calamity Ganon and Dark Beast Ganon.

It would be odd not to have DLC when there are plans to release two new amiibo later this year. Not to mention the underpowered, non-fused Master Sword, no gold enemies and no chance to max out both hearts AND stamina with a few more shrines.

Then again for those who have not updated the game to preserve the item duplication glitch, there will be no need to update at all.

Eurogamer gives Pikmin 4 a 10/10 ... gives TotK an 8/10 ... ... ... Words fail.

JFC !!! The original Ocarina of Time cartridge was $60 - and that was 25 years ago !!!
