anyone who doesn't charge in a straight line towards Hyrule Castle doesn't understand how to play video games properly imo

So you get your shield and stalfos arm and pants and get past the equivalent of the prologue. North, South, East, or West?
I do fancy a look at Skull Lake, but a quick scout around near Hyrule Castle is also very tempting.

According to Kotaku, the Switch version has the same framerate drop situation as the WiiU version. No word on if it will be mitigated by the day 1 patch.

If there's no handholding and I'm free to meta-game to the end quest then it's absolutely a return to original Zelda form and I couldn't be more delighted.

I dunno where I'd go first to be honest. Probably Death Mountain or that weird one with the giant crevice in it.

In TV mode (900p) or portable (720p)? The reviewers were saying portable was rock solid, I thought.

I finally gave the Wind Waker remaster a spin to remind myself how my Wii U worked and arrrrgh the bloom

Between this and Twilight Princess, Nintendo had a real love affair with bloom lighting for a while, seems like.

I'm gonna stock up on weapons and arrows and such and then make a run for Hyrule Castle where I will likely die horribly after getting off the plateau.

In TV mode. In portable mode it's apparently solid.

It's hard to quantify this, since all we have is "busy scenes cause framedrops sometimes" but it stands to reason the Switch would run the game at 720p better than the WiiU would at 720p.

I wish we knew if setting TV output to 720p would fix it. I'm fine with lower resolution and better frames.

From what I understand it doesn't. I think GameXplain tried it at 480p, even, and there were still frame drops. It's probably just a downscale and not a re-rendering.

That Skull lake is definitely something I want to check out early.

Map/starting area spoilers? From what I've seen from some early videos the area you're stuck on is up north, so legging it South-East to Skull lake early might be easy.

Edit: gently caress ignore me, I got the location totally wrong haha


I've taken friday off, and even so I've been so restless with hype that I've done a heap of work in the two days I've been in this week. I'm really glad for it because otherwise this week would CRAWL along. I've also been getting up earlier all week in an attempt to tire myself out by tomorrow night so I'm not like some bloody child and actually sleep. I think the last time I was this excited for anything was MGS5 and I think I slept for like 3 hours the night before release! I know I'm going to wake up at 6am on friday and go nuts until the Gamestop down the road opens up too

Austin Walker was has been practically dying on mic for a week because the NDA prevents him from fully vocalizing how much he loves Breath of the Wild, and my gaming tastes align pretty well with his. I'm not worried.

I can't wait to bomb dodongos (assuming the game has any I don't actually know if there are cool and great if not I won't be disappointed because there's evidence of a pretty wide variety of enemies already)

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

If Amazon doesn't somehow change mine from LImbo to Release Date Delivery I'm just gonna cancel it tomorrow evening and get it digitally to avoid having to run around on Friday looking for a copy. I was seriously a bit worried and trying to make a plan about where to go to find a copy (was thinking Target when they open since it's on the way to work) but then I remembered the eStore was a thing.

Alternatively Prime Now is getting copies according to the website, so I might try to snag one from there if the Prime 20% off new games thing works on Prime Now.

Edit: VV gently caress yeah, I've been hoping for that too.

I've wanted Lynels to appear in a 3D Zelda game for some time now and boy does this game do them justice. BoTW's Lynels are basically the coolest enemies ever.

So far it seems like they're using the original 2D Zelda to talk about decisions for BOTW. It could just be an animation.
