Best buy did you a favor.

Does anyone know when Amazon plans to put the normal version for sale.

Eh screw it. I pre ordered the regular edition - I figure that there will be a big art book in the future as well as a soundtrack so those are the extras I’ll wait for. I also had some Best Buy rewards points so $10 off is nice.

Also I’m looking forward to playing Minish Cap- I never got it when it was out so hey neat.

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

If I were to bet money I'd say "lend him your power" is Zelda speaking to the TotK equivalent of the sages and is telling them to lend their power to Link.

And yes I ordered the collector's edition because I've ever done that before.

my new insane theory, which came to me on my nightly walk, is that the ultimate goal is to reach the moon. points in the favor:

- blood moon, maybe that's where calamity originally comes from
- a focus on building vehicles, culminating in the ultimate vehicle: a multistage rocket are capable of attaining escape velocity from Hyrule
- homage to Majora's Mask which, like TotK, is a direct sequel and includes reused assets
-- the moon shedding a tear upon the kingdom is a major plot point of MM
- it'd rule

anyway, now I'm picturing the game starting with the "Reach the sky" objective, and then around the 4/5th mark it pans up even more, settles on the moon, and changes to "Ascend"

Take a cue from the plot of Hyrule Warriors and have all the games and timelines crashing into each other. That's why the Z1 dragon boss is hanging out on the bridge, etc. Go full Smash Bros/Mario Kart and just dump the entire franchise into one game.

If you're really into Zelda lore, and unfortunately I am, BotW was already full of implications that the timelines had converged. TotK appears to be making these connections a little more explicit, so maybe it'll be a plot point and not just a neat background detail

I am so pumped for this game. Can't wait. Looks great. I just hope it's as long and as big if not bigger than BOTW. Now do I actually care about the special addition just for the steel book. If it had the real soundtrack, totally, but come one. Also, I wish BOTW would get an official CD release for the soundtrack that wasn't the Japanese addition because I want to correctly label the tracks in my iTunes library :ohdear:

Why can't physical editions come with a digital code for the game? Or at least special editions, since you're already paying an inflated price. I'd be a lot more tempted by that artbook if I could just download a copy of the game I've already paid for afterwards, rather than futzing around with cartridges.

I don't think so, I kept waiting for them to trot it out at a TotK delay or something but nope. Maybe they'll get to it next if they keep sticking with the same hardware indefinitely and want another Zelda game that's not a massive time sink. I really want it, especially after spending two afternoons last year trying and failing to resurrect my Wii U specifically for it.

In fairness, leaving your divine relic sword exposed to the elements for millennia on end between boughts of hard use is a policy that was bound to run down sooner or later. Maybe whoever takes care of it while Link is presently Dead/Indisposed could have stood to think on it a little harder.

The one cool thing specific to the current WWHD release was that they did a great job using the Wii U pad for stuff like maps and inventory. It's just so much smoother than the separate pause screens, I really miss being able to do that on the Switch.

The gamepad showing the map made getting treasure chests so much easier. I'd never want to go back to needing to work out my exact placement by switching to the pause screen again.
