The Nintendo Switch

i think theyve got some tricks up their sleeves, i mean weve already seen you can build a car, link is driving a car now

also u can build weapons

also theres nothing stopping them from dropping 3 or 4 good big dungeons in a botw style zelda they just went with the mini-dungeons thing the first time. idr if they showed anything that looked like a dungeon in the trailer

seems like all that could lead to the new one being more puzzley also if theres time travel thats even more puzzling

theres a lot of evidence of the underground being more a part of this game and we all know whats underground (dungeons)

see building a car is the sort of thing i have no interest in, i liked botw in spite of it being a sandbox game, not because

i will build the most half assed car the world has seen, if its something you need to do to progress

botw2 link is a car guy now

grand theft auto: rune andreas

hell yeah brother

Yeah the shrines and beasts I think are meant to be a little shallower of an experience due to the overworld focus. I assumed they were creating a hierarchy where the overworld wins out as the focus, and the beasts act more as mini dungeons to drive the story.

xposts

the shrines were bad i think we can all agree

the divine beasts were... ok

I wouldn’t bother recommending anyone buy a switch now

if you want to play the switch you gotta buy switch new one comes out in what a year at the soonest its a year and half before you can even get one i mean

Shrines were fine. I didn't mind the concept tbh

shrines were fine yeah its just the divine beasts were like 20% the size of an OoT or wind waker dungeon which was a bit disappointing when you realized that they were gonna be the closest equivalent

the shrines/beasts were just kind of empty and sterile not a lot going on in there and most of the puzzles were not particularly fun or memorable, i did like moving the elephant trunk, hyrule castle was the most dungeony thing in the game

I like the shrines idk

botw was good for wandering around looking at stuff but the meat of the linear progression bosses shrines etc wasnt that cool imho, i did like the master sword trials and the part of the dlc with the one wit obliterator both of those required you to actually try to be good at the game

i liked getting all the outfits and all the outfits for the horses

I wouldn’t bother recommending anyone buy a switch now

But why? Cos they'll come out with a new one soon?

Maybe a s/h one? They don't seem much cheaper. It's, as I say, because I've foudn there are games I have on my PS that I don't play because they're not big action games - puzzlers, retro-RPGs and platformers etc

idk i think 'trying to be good at the game' has never been a zelda thing the combat has always been a bit janky. which is fine zelda's an adventure game not a character action game

yeah clearly its not an integral part of the game but it is good and fun in this case, tho the getting good in the master sword trials is more about planning your attack than being good at the mechanics, im sure if youre really good at the mechanics it is easier, the only mechanic i ever got good at was the shield parry

from battling lynels and guardians of course, i like to kill and plunder those guys, same for taluses

my only wish for TOTK is that the word "Hookshot" appear onscreen while the item-get fanfare plays

Hmm, I don't know why I thought not being backwards compatible was a Nintendo thing. Maybe because they've had so many goofy systems/cartridges? Anyway, I hope the new one, whenever it arrives, still plays Switch games!

climbing kinda killed the hookshot's purpose sadly. everyone loves the hookshot

bring it back why not let the people hook around if they want

I hope the new one, whenever it arrives, still plays Switch games!

The clincher for me, spent too much on retro games/ previous gen stuff to then have to buy it all again...

Nintendo: ".....buy it all again, you say???"

Me:"No, thats not what I meant!"

Nintendo: <Snaps fingers>

4 extremely tan beasts

4 divine beige

Hookshot would allow you to jump over wet surfaces instead of failing to climb them

they should introduce climbing gloves in the new game (allows you to climb wet things) (first thing you get)

first task link builds a car. first "dungeon puzzle" link must find parking at the downtown REI.

to buy very expensive climbing gloves

to free solo Death Mountain. No ganondorfs this time. Just a person, a mountain, and the family that person leaves behind. 2nd half of the game is zelda pitching link's doc to the streaming giants.

lol

need new thread imo

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

SORRY, you can't climb the kingdom. Too many tears, please try again later

Nintendo Direct tomorrow 7am PST
