It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.

I wouldn't say the Edge review contains major spoilers. What's the policy of review scans on here, anyway? Because I have a link I could post if people want it.

To be explicit it contains the totality of the main goals outlined, and what happens as you complete them. Which might be more than a lot of people wanted.

Final boss gameplay speculation based on a couple sentences from that review:

the review mentions that the big guardians aim a laser sight at the the castle after you beat their dungeon, so I'm guessing the final area/boss will be much harder the earlier you go, even going past the fact that you have less powerful gear, without their help

It gives you a lot more than that, even having a part hilariously going "I don't want to spoil what this gives you, but <pretty much a description of exactly what it does>". Which is cool, but people might not want to know quite so much about the plot and the rewards and the upgrade system and the pretty much everything else. And if they don't, that might be an article they want to skip.

It's as much a spoiler as "Link has to fight through eight dungeons to find the magical musical instruments that will awaken the Wind Fish" is for Link's Awakening. I.e. information you expect to find on the back of the game's box.

Yeah everyone please be careful with spoilers as we get closer to release and ESPECIALLY after release. I expect this thread to look like a redacted CIA document on Friday.

I'm not even gonna be touching this thread Friday, Saturday or probably for several days after that. Not because of a fear of spoilers, but because I'm reading it now to tide me over till the game comes out and I won't have that need when I own the game and can play it at will. I'll probably drop in to see other people's experiences and see the gifs of them after a week or two, but I really doubt I'll be visiting the thread for a while at least.

Can you just update the OP with the non spoiler details and mention that anything else is considered spoilers?

PSA: The full EDGE review has leaked and contains major spoilers. I checked it briefly and stopped after a few glances. What I did gather was that this looks like the first time in a Zelda game where the story is legit awesome instead of "Hey this is neat and I dig the lore."

how does it compare to the greatest story in any zelda game: majora's mask?

being serious here, majora's mask has a really great story/world. i know nothing about botw because i'm afraid of it being like skyward sword all over again and getting hyped only to spend the whole game convincing myself i was actually enjoying it instead of it feeling tedious.

I had that weird dream again.
Pouring over all the recent previews, I'm very pleasantly surprised at just how systems-based this game looks to be. I'm usually not one for sandboxes but it is all the attention to detail in the physics, weather and animals that has me the most excited about exploring the new Hyrule.

Can't wait for Friday.

I work a 7/7 schedule and luckily the game comes out on my off-week so I'll get a few solid days of play in before heading back to work. But the real question is, when the gently caress during the day is my Switch gonna be delivered? I'm going to be an anxious mess all drat day waiting for that package.

I'm off all weekend too. Though I do have to walk the dog, which will take up a bit of each day. Still, if the adverts are right that shouldn't stop me Switching up my Zelda.

Should've preordered at a store so you could just rock up when it opens and start playing when you get home. Sorry 5pm amazon delivery bros

Is the big horned guy throwing the stalfos off the cliff because of monster hostilities (a la Doom) or because "hey, I'm bigger than you and you're expendable anyway :throws at Link:"?

Either one is really cool.

Assuming the latter. He is throwing his good friend at you in that .gif.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Played ten minutes of BotW after the zelda room escape. poo poo's Fun. Jumped off a cliff and barely survived just to not go to the old man and stuff, tried and failed to mug some bokoblins and eventually found the barrel spot with Bill Trinnen's big E3 fail so i could kill a bunch of them, steal their gear and fight some more bokoblins before my time was up. It just felt really good. Handheld mode is a lil too small for me on the switch, joycons feel better when i can hold them however without worrying about the screen's position.
