As well as it did, yes, but it still would have sold well regardless.

Oh I know they are and I know that typically Nintendo games own the top of the charts on their systems but 20 spots before you get to a 3rd party was not what I was expecting.

I'm playing BotW for the first time and I was told to go meet Sidon. I've done anything but for at least a week. So I vote camera rune.

Haha I just realized this applies to me since I played BOTW on the Wii U and didn't get a switch till later

Is there some bonus that unlocks if you have a BOTW save?

So, paid DLC plans, at least cosmetics maybe?. Some BOTW2 themed content they won't launch until after that game releases could be possible. 7 characters is way to small for a musou.

I already had Breath of the Wild preordered on Amazon or something but when I went to a local game store (a small local business) to buy my Switch they had a deal on Botw with a pro controller and I convinced them to let me get the same discount on the collector’s edition so it’s me, I’m the guy who bought multiple copies.

I ended up giving it to my brother-in-law for Christmas that year since my sister bought him a Switch.

BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk has 8, Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage has 8 (with 2 DLC), and Persona 5 Scramble has 10. Even Hyrule Warriors Wii U only launched with 13 characters.

That said, it's nearly unheard of for a Warriors game to not let you play as at least some of the antagonists (even if not in the main story mode) out of the box, and we haven't heard anything on that front yet, either.

I just went and redownloaded Cadence of Hyrule after hearing about the DLC quest, and I'm a little disappointed to see how much paid DLC there is. I don't mind it for the full quest, but there's music and character packs too, which feels a bit more money-grubby. And yet, I'll probably just buy the season pass, because it's not that much more than the new quest... :sigh:

Question about OoT. I’m replaying it after some 20 years and I’ve forgotten everything. I can’t seem to figure out how to get the chest in the top floor of the fire temple. It’s the chest in the other tower than which contains the hammer.

Not trying to spoil myself, just trying to figure out if I can even reach it with my current set of skills or if I should come back later.

You can get everything in the Fire Temple the first time you go in, there's nothing you should need to come back for.

You need the scarecrow song. Go back in time as a kid to lake hylia and find the scarecrow. Play him a song that’s easy to remember. Then travel forward in time and go there as an adult. Play the same song again and you’ll unlock the ability to summon a scarecrow at select points in the world. You can then hookshot up to that chest in the fire temple.

Yes you do, there's a scarecrow right next to an elevator that you need to hookshot to in order to get up to where the chest is in the first place.

It's maybe a bit strange that she's wearing a regular Sheikah outfit and not a variant of the ninja-style one you can buy in Breath of the Wild (and that you see some male Sheikah wear in a memory). Looks nice, though.

I've beaten this game 100,000,000 times and I've never once used the scarecrow in the fire temple

e: I even beat the fire temple itself again like a week or two ago because I am a sick person who just plays zelda over and over again

One of those “male Sheikah” in the memory is actually Purah fyi. The other is Robbie.

Genshin Impact, also known as BotW but you don't have to mod it to play as a girl, is now out on PC, PS4, and mobile. if you've got a massive thirst for botw 2 i super recommend checking it out. and hey, it's free* so nothing to lose!

*yes it's in fact a f2p gacha game with all that entails. however according to some testimonials i've heard the real pay/grind wall doesn't hit for a looooong time, and my experience some hours in matches that. i've just had fun exploring the world and doing quests and dungeons. it does absolutely nail that feeling of going out to do something and spotting three other things to do along the way.

Genshin Impact has some nasty kernel level anti cheat and possible phoning home to the Chinese govt. On windows you can launch the game with a bat script so it closes the anti cheat after you close the game. If you're interested consider playing it on a console.

I'm gonna play it for sure on PC and probably do a fresh install of Windows when I'm done with it.
