I don't have any disabilities and I struggle with the controls, falling from death, no weapon in my hand, not locking on to enemies, are just some of the things I fail at.
The controls and options are so vast, I am impressed you've managed to find a way to play, there clearly are ways to improve the accessibility.
I question how loot boxes or shooting pipes is any different from surprise/blind bags with toys in them or sticker/card collections which don't seem to get the same bad rep.
Is it that you don't actually own a physical item, when we're in a age of digital, does it matter anymore?
For more context, this scene was from a TV show within Pokemon Horizons' to explain Pokemon to newbies. It's overly exaggerated, I doubt there's a disco ball.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Fans Needn't Lose Sleep Over Foamstars, Square Enix's 'Splatoon Rip-Off'
This blatant rip off will have it servers shut down within the year of release.
Re: UK Charts: Diablo IV Finally Sends Zelda: TOTK To The Dark Depths Of Number Two
Thinking of getting D4, but happy mindlessly running around on ToTK for now.
Re: Japanese Charts: Etrian Odyssey Origins Sees Strong Debut, But Nothing Troubles Zelda: TOTK
Street Fighter 6, what's with those numbers!?
Re: Talking Point: Which Version Of Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Your Favourite?
OG. First game I didn't want to complete and I cried when I did...
Re: Random: Zelda: TOTK Player Beats All Regional Phenomena Quests Without The Paraglider
I paraglide off everything from cliffs to pots. Couldn't be without it.
Re: Soapbox: Modern Zelda Dungeons Are, In Fact, Divine
Not sure, only done the fire temple so far, I ended up climbing the walls because I couldn't be bothered to figure it out
Re: Random: Nintendo's Brand Momentum Has Been Flat Since 2018, Says Sony
Looks like they found one thing they are beating Nintendo and Microsoft on and made a graph.
Sony as Nickleback: "look at this graph............."
Re: Random: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom NPCs Call Out "Naked Link"
The guard at Kakariko village made me laugh with his reaction to masks in Ocarina of Time.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Lawsuit Calls Out "Immoral" Lootbox Gacha System

Re: Zelda: TOTK Playtimes Start To Appear, And Some People Haven't Been Getting A Lot Of Sleep
I only started 3 days ago, so that's what it says.
Probably 10-20 hours, just been wondering about, I got to the Fire Temple, but I really feel overwhelmed with just running about and dying a lot...
Re: Random: The Internet Is Still Obsessed With Purah's Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Look
McBaine: Little Purah is growing up

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Japan's 7th Biggest Game Launch Of All Time
@ActionPanther I thought ScarVi was some Japanese exclusive. Don't you worry.
Re: Zelda: TOTK Is The Sixth Game Ever To Get Perfect Scores From Edge And Famitsu
ToTK getting 10s like Oprah gives out cars!
Re: Sega Looks Set To Raise Its Game Prices Up To $70
With the stats Sony sent out, they aren't selling as many games but making more money.
It's pushing more people to wait for a discount than purchase day one.
Re: Glow-In-The-Dark Zelda: TOTK Keychain Now Available Via My Nintendo Rewards
I just bought it, then I saw the Gameboy posters! Gutted.
Re: Expect More Open-World Zelda Games Going Forwards, Suggests Eiji Aonuma
I was thinking the other day where does Zelda go from here, there seems to be a lot of freedom in ToTK. Most options seem to be going backwards.
Same with Mario, just got to come up with a new gimmick.
Re: UK Charts: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is The Biggest Boxed Launch Of 2023
People should be entitled to their own opinions, I haven't got a problem with that.
It's the downright lies that bother me!
Re: Time Between Switch's Announcement And Launch Was A "Special Case", Says Nintendo
@Munchlax sprays you with water?
Looking forward to Ruby and Sapphire remakes.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
No game is for everyone, but I do wonder if critics give their honest opinion or just trash talk for attention.
I don't listen to any critic. (Sorry NLife)
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th May (North America)
I mean, surely we're all getting the Toilet racing game?
Re: Nintendo Switch Surpasses One Billion Software Sales
Could MP4 be the cross-over game?
Re: Switch Hardware Sales Now Over 125 Million, PS2, Nintendo DS Target Still A Way Off
@BanjoPickles I hear you, but I wouldn't be surprised if a Switch Pro showed up.
The DS got a final revised version 5 years after it's original release, but could argue it was just larger screen over the DSi.
If Nintendo were interested in the accolade, then they'll do something to push sales.
Re: Switch Hardware Sales Now Over 125 Million, PS2, Nintendo DS Target Still A Way Off
Release a Switch Pro and its game over for PS2 and the DS.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 6th)
I got the Expansion Pass for Switch.
Playing a bunch of N64 games, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Puzzle, but mostly Star Fox 64. Trying to get all medals, 2 more to go before "hard" mode.

For more context, this scene was from a TV show within Pokemon Horizons' to explain Pokemon to newbies. It's overly exaggerated, I doubt there's a disco ball.
Re: Video: Unboxing The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED
@JohnnyMind I said this too him and he told me that wasn't the case. Then as he was setting up an email for Nintendo he realised I was right 🤣
Thanks for the response.
Re: Video: Unboxing The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED
Will be getting one soon, but wanted to check with some of you.
My mate got this model and the joycon straps, he got two right sided ones.
Anyone else had this?

Re: Random: Game Boy Version Of The Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Theme Is Spectacular
The Gameboy would blow up trying to process those graphics!!
Re: Poll: Which Was Your First 'Final Fantasy'?
I believe it was Final Fantasy Legend 3 on the Gameboy!
Re: Review: Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster - A Beautiful And Faithful Reimagining Of The Classics
Was going to ask if FF6 had the GBA extras, massive shame really. Never played it.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 16.0.2 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I came for the jokes. See you next month.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Has Been Released From Prison
He'd struggle to find an honest job with that criminal record.
He'll be selling dodgy used cars somewhere in the future.
Re: Talking Point: With One Month 'Til TOTK, What's Left For You To Do In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
I only ever played BoTW on my Wii U. Was hoping for a discount on the DLC but it never went low enough.
I think I'll call it a day for BoTW. Going to jump straight into ToTK.
Re: Talking Point: The Super Mario Bros. Movie - What Are Your Favourite Moments?
The 2D parts I thought were great, so much to see!
Re: Nintendo Announces Super Mario Sale, Wave One Now Live (Europe)
I'd buy if they were 34% off. Nah, these need major discount, 50% might sway me.
Re: Video: We're Playing Zelda: Ocarina Of Time In Our New YouTube Series 'First Bytes'
Actually a bit envious Felix gets to experience this for the first time.
But I suspect Felix is probably thinking it's nothing like Fortnite.
Re: Feature: What's The Best Way To Play Super Mario Bros. In 2023?
I do miss Mario 35, I was damn good at it too!!
Re: Anniversary: Capcom's Breath Of Fire Series Is 30 Years Old, And We Miss It
I put down 2 for a little bit and tried getting back in from where I left off.
There's no direction and I couldn't even figure out where I was from a guide.
They don't make like that anymore.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED?
I need to replace my kids OG Switch, so I'll buy this and she can have my OLED 😏
Re: Soapbox: Nobody Does 'More Of The Same' Better Than Nintendo
I don't think any gamer has the right to complain if a sequel, direct or not, being the same as the game before it. Everyone does it.
Unless that person only plays the first of a series only.
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Pre-Orders Being Charged, Launch Date Reveal "Not Quite Ready"
I'd like a physical version of this, but that price...
Re: Where To Buy Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED Console And Pro Controller
Going to have to wait for one of those pay later schemes. I already got £300 of outgoings and possible MOT due as well, now this.
My girlfriend is going to kill me!
Re: Rumour: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED Could Be Officially Revealed Today
Yep, this one is gonna happen.
There isn't a Zelda Switch variation, and this game is likely going to be the Switch's biggest game.
Re: Another Nintendo Switch Online Seven-Day Free Trial Is Now Available
Putting that N64 controller on there... forshame.
Re: When Does The 3DS And Wii U eShop Close? Nintendo eShop Closure Guide

Re: Pokémon Center Japan Celebrates 25th Anniversary With New Website
I understand there is a Pokemon Music Festival soon as well. Fingers crossed for the PokeRap, but there isn't a real Japanese version?
