The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch, Switch 2) (May 12, 2023)

Finally started playing this this past week. Obviously just scratching the tip the iceberg but really like how from a gameplay it puts you even more in the drivers seat then BOTW did. Exploring the world at times already feels like a puzzle in itself and that fact has beyond excited to play more and more.

shyt weak that the chars don't recognize Link from the previous game.

That traveling gerudo soldier says basically the same exact dialogue she had from the first game and no recognition of link whatsoever

Most of the main characters recognize him.

Everyone i talked to is like “wait, is that you, i thought you were dead!”

I’m still confused as to how much time passed between zelda and link going missing and the beginning of this game

The spirit characters that the temples unlock were annoying at first, but now that I have a whole posse of them to roll with I actually like keeping the whole crew with me at all times. Animal posse plus spear weapons with powerful attachments on them has been a game changer for me. I really don't even mess with swords or clubs anymore outside of keeping one around for quick hammering jobs on stones. I'm still in awe at how much content they were able to fit into this game, especially without it being a buggy mess upon release.

Pulling the master sword out of the dragon

That whole cutscene

shyt was so epic I just had to pause it and cry for a bit

Thought I would be ready to play Diablo when it dropped but I probably got to run this back

Greatest game of all time

This game completely erased GOTW Ragnarok from my brain...all I remember about that game is Atreus pawging and Jotnaring

That NPC I mentioned is identical to the one in BOTW so it can't be too crazy a time jump

I have very little reservations about calling this one of the greatest games ever. What a masterpiece

Finally found my first great fairy I see miyamoto still models em after Sara Jay.

I get off on breaking games. love all the possibilities for fukkery in this

Building that hover bike was the best thing I did...getting around the depths is a breeze I'm just flying to light roots left and right...can reach wherever I want pretty much...it's hard to make it go down tho....

 

[Brief Keef]

I've cleared the Water temple and at the end of the fire temple thus far.

Goddamn this game is hard as fukk without finding some armor first. Every damn thing one-hit killing me That damn Zora boss covered in sludge was so damn annoying cuz he's theoretically easy but EVERYTHING kills me in one hit and I had to start that damn cutscene over every fukking time

Grind shrines or make a meal that gives u extra hearts...if u played BOTW u already know the drill...nothings changed really as far as staying alive goes

 

[Brief Keef]

I just finished the desert temple might be the easiest temple so far and thats saying a lot. I do appreciate the themed temples and different bosses but in the end they are just as easy as the divine beast

I mean Zelda games were never very hard to begin with...if Nintendo ever decides one day to go nioh/dark souls type difficulty we might be in hell...

 

[Brief Keef]

I wish I took advantage of the duplication glitch to get a few hundred pieces of amber to max out the OoT armor. Ah well.

I like the Zelda 1 set the best true og shyt I'll fully upgrade OOT and SS armor tho when I find the rest of the set pieces I really don't care for the other armors I just like the traditional Zelda tunics

Building long bridges/acsend/octorok balloons fused to your shield only 3 things you need to cheese shrines
