I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius

My SE too, but Amazon hasn't charged my Switch yet so I'm kind of on edge worrying I screwed up with Amazon.


You don't need a pro controller. You can use the joycons on the included grip.

If you have prime, Amazon won't charge you until a couple of days before.

Come with me if you want to not die.
I don't have prime, because I only order like two things a year from them on average so it'd be a waste of money.

I'm guessing in this one you have to breath on Ganon to kill him once and for all (for at least 10 years).

Welp I'm now considering getting just the Switch and the game so it's under $400 and just deal with the lovely joycons not syncing half the time but I can't even find the system for sale online anywhere. Is the Switch already that popular or is the initial shipment of units a very low number?

It's a brand new Nintendo that's been super hyped and is shipping with what people herald as the best Zelda ever.

Initial shipments are a very low number. Nintendo's been doing this with basically everything since the Wii.

Your choices are:

A) Pay an inflated price for a Switch on Ebay

B) Wait until they are in stock

It sold out the day it was announced. Stores would periodically get updated stock for a while but I don't think there have been any to claim for a few weeks now. Just keep an eye on nowinstock and within a couple weeks from launch you should be able to get one I would think.

Or, if you have a Wii U, you can probably just save $400 and deal with the game in 720p.

Is there a specific reason there was no mention of Hyrule Warriors in the Art & Artifacts book? It's not like it's one of the CD-i games, it was actually published by Nintendo even if it wasn't designed by them.

A lot of cool poo poo in that one, and I would have loved to have seen nice, crisp pictures of Cia's rack all of the weapons, items, and 8-bit sprites, etc.

As it is, the book is awesome and huge and well worth the $6 I paid after a gift card.

It's not canon, probably. Even Link's Awakening is considered canon, and has a spot in ~The Zelda Timeline~. Hyrule Warriors interacts with various points in the history, but it's not part of the actual canon- the timeline doesn't change retroactively to reflect the fact that Lana and her version of Link paid visits to Skyloft and like at least 2 different time periods of Hyrule proper during the events of their respective games.

there are still plenty of the grey consoles left in the uk, shopto even has the master edition of zelda going. not that it helps any if you're not in the uk but still. reminds me of the n64 days, wonder if this means my zelda order will get canned the night before and i'll have to spend the whole of friday searching for a copy only to then have the store i originally pre-order from phone me up and be like "hey, got some, you want some? come get some!" like i did OoT. those were some loving rollercoaster days.

Cuz she likes Zelda too, of course. But also, because it felt slightly less mean than writing "while your kids cry".

But also, I spoiled myself on that scene anyway. It wasn't anything too big, but I realized I would've rather experienced it while playing the game, so I'm definitely going to avoid any further spoilers from here on out.

I got to hold a Switch in my hand and play Zelda for about a minute. I immediately ran towards Hyrule Castle and got ganked by several guardians at once and a ton of skeletons. Still managed to get closer than I've seen anybody get in videos before getting killed. It was dope.

Controls are gonna take some getting used to, in part because they're very different from previous Zelda games. It seems way smoother and more responsive then pretty much any other open world game tho. That's what is really cool about this game, it's rare to see an open world game with the Bethesda jank replaced by Nintendo polish.
Also the Joycon shoulder buttons feel pretty weird, they're really close to each other. It also feltweird that the analog sticks and buttons aren't in the Wii U positions anymore. Dammit Nintendo pick a layout and stick with it!

well why not
