@sabreman64 It's the portal activator from the shrines.

@SlimPieEats Should have just bought some green mushrooms.

Yeah, it’s a shame that Nintendo’s software runs faster for pirates. I don’t really know what stopped them from releasing a Switch Pro along side this game and letting customers decide. Could have given the Switch a little longer lifecycle, as well. Nintendo is great at making games but is notoriously bad at hardware decisions almost every other generation.

Which is why we needed a next generation Switch with the debut of this game. Are they holding out the next Mario or Metroid for their next hardware? If not, what would sell it?

@Nanami_Ataraxia If I believed the inter-webs I would have thought his name was Zelda?

Today's space launch has been scrubbed due to in-climate weather.... we have to wait until we can build a proper fire.

"It isn’t just the big titles."

I totally read that wrong....

No way to know. So many Steam Deck knock offs entering the market, it may not have anything to do with the Switch. Knowing Nintendo, if you even eluded to anything related to them, they'd fit you for cement shoes.

Yikes. Think I'd just rather sail the seven seas than hang out for two days. jk

@FawfulsFury or other people...

Pong was invented after I was born, and I still can't bring myself to play these.

I guess after a cool billion making it easily accessible to pirates doesn't really matter as much. With TOTK leaking early there might be a chance that Nintendo moves more towards movies. Can you imagine any game bringing in a billion???

@Cashews I did my time and am too old for the trenches. I'll probably just be back here in the states stuffing MREs into bags.

I contemplated an OLED Switch for this game but I'm too afraid that the Switch is near it's swan song. Probably why they haven't announced a Switch 2, yet. Only thing that might have changed my mind if the $70 game came bundled with an OLED.

@Cashews My fear is that will make digital the product category of choice and then physical gets left out in the cold. Make no doubt, that is exactly what the gaming companies want. One copy, one owner. Second hand sales would die on the vine. More options, more ability to save. I have bought digital but it's not my preferred method of buying games.

@-wc- I'd say for anyone who wants another Zelda game, then buy this one. You can't pirate the game and then complain if they never make another one.

@-wc- Well, to be fair, you'd also have to take Reggie's comments as tongue-in-cheek. They do sound kind of threatening even though we know he's just paraphrasing a movie-line. Or do we? looks over shoulder

From what I hear, it's not even the gold copy making the rounds. I've had this game preordered for at least as long as preorders have been allowed, probably dating back to the BOTW2 title.

To fully prepare, schedule vacation time now...

Zelda? Any good? Never heard of it....

"Mario number one!"

@Serpenterror Can't debate that... yet. But, yeah, since it was literally called BOTW2 forever, hard to shake that feeling. Give me traditional dungeons and I'll change my mind.

Is there a demo for it? Seems like a lot of the it's gonna be bad or on the fence comments in here could be resolved by that. OR maybe there just happy being pessimistic.

@Dr_Lugae It was all sour grapes by rich people... I tried to hold back my tears...

@nessisonett Didn't know that was a thing. I know the actor who was in the original movie and cried the most about Pratt, John Leguizamo, isn't even Italian but likes to pretend he is. Just a ridiculous controversy to begin with, but pretty much a common occurrence these days.

I haven’t read the whole thing, but sounds like Nintendo actually gave the company a chance to remove their IP. Guess they should have listened. Probably we’re too busy making money off people paying premiums to download content in order to speed their downloads up.

They have a legal and fiduciary obligation to protect their IP and bad legal things happen if they don't. It's nothing personal, even if it feels that way.

@JONOFTHEJONS Your princess is in another castle.

What's the purpose of a pre-order in 2023? Why?

Finish crying about lack of traditional dungeons and breakable weapons and pray this one resolves that...

Can we just start posting the name of all of the original creators here?

@NielsNL Yeah, that made my spidey senses tingle... Blasphemous.

Ya got me. I clicked. Thought since it was 4/6 I was safe. Should be a law requiring April Fools gags to be removed and properly stored at midnight of 4/1. LOL

@Chlocean That's Nintendo and Valve. Figure out what works and then wait a decade or so to release a new one. Just think of how long it took to make Half Life 3.

@Ogbert Ignoring him in everything but an actual new Mario video game....

@Tasuki Or just a failed review based on expectations from a fanatic.

Oh boy, cannot wait not to play this...

@jump Charlie Day makes a cameo as the L shaped block

Artwork looks like a League of Legends knockoff character.

@ZTN12 100% this. Certainly the most nostalgic one. Right up there with ET on Atari. Like a movie so bad it's good. And I have no idea if this is true but certainly seem to be some of the makings of more modern games like Zelda NES, in there somewhere.

Pretty sure Stevie Wonder saw that coming.

Can't afford it. I still got a second mortgage with Tom Nook from the last time I got involved in the turnip market.

@Impossibilium But it's really hard and back breaking work to make a sh1tty game.

Didn’t really answer my biggest question about dungeons. I’m starting to believe Nintendo is doing that on purpose. Either because it doesn’t have traditional dungeons and they know that’s going to disappoint people, or it will and they want to surprise us. Knowing Nintendo, I know which of those two reasons I’d shove all of my chips on.

Really cautiously optimistic. The gaming world has changed tremendously since BOTW. It was an amazing game, I'm just hoping this one isn't more of the same in today's gaming environment. Breakable weapons and/or no traditional dungeons and I might have to wait for a sale. The fact they've been so secretive about the (supposedly not a sequel) game content is either a really, really good thing or the total opposite. Guess we'll see, and we don't have long to wait. It's like waiting to see if your Christmas gifts were a boon or a bust.

@Chaotic_Neutral Exactly my thoughts, DLCs are just heavily bundled micro transactions

Does the patent read "a sword that breaks in 3 to 4 hits"?

Despite all the comments here, this game is probably going to sell like hotcakes.

Can we give this game a rest? It's like finding out there was ray tracing added to Tetris. No, wait, that sounds more exciting.

@Gamergirl94 Don't know if the world could handle two powerful wizards in one year...
