It's just cutscenes and plot? I likely won't see it unless one of you all posts it here/talks about it, so I don't really care, but if they're not like revealing the map and all then I'm fine. Seeing BotW without knowing what to expect was such a thrill. So I haven't bothered to find out much about TotK either.

I mean if it gets out and someone tells me I won't care, but I know how I hope to enjoy the game.

No, the whole game is out and being played right now on modded switches and emulators.

Yeah most leaks are from a physical copy being dumped, those things have to be made and printed months in advance if not longer

I mean it wouldn't really be more impressive or effort-intensive if someone uploaded the ROM from a computer in Nintendo Headquarters. The internet makes it trivial to leak things because you can instantly share and distribute it.

Having never worked for them, stealing assets from internal corporate networks is way more impressive than dumping a physical copy. I assume they have a robust internal security/audit team and they will go after ur rear end if they detect any bullshit

Wind Waker was my first Zelda so Tetra being Zelda was a pretty big twist for me, but I guess if you’d played OoT before that it probably would’ve primed you for that reveal

To me that felt more like a "oh huh, that makes sense" than a holy poo poo what moment. They emphasized sheik's connection to the royal family too so it was foreshadowed a little bit I thought

Tetra was a funner twist because she was very different in terms of vibe so it was less expected.

Asking here since the Zelda thread is a landmine rn, what's the easiest way to get to the Towers between Geruda and Tabantha, and the one Northeast from Tabantha? Haven't found an easy way to access them, even with 2 Stamina wheels.

For a long time the 3DS eShop worked like this. You could even play online and get regular updates for your ill-gotten games because there was no check to see if you actually owned a game downloaded from the eShop.

don't remember what the deal with those towers was but if it's just climbing them that's giving you trouble, eat stamina food.
also if you haven't found the climbing gear yet, leaping with X is much less stamina-efficient than just normal climbing

Oh, no, climbing is no longer a problem and I knew about the X innefficiency.

It's just I don't see a good way to reach them. The one on the West region I can't even see, and the one in the north (left of Lost Woods) I don't see a path to reach from the south.

Of course there's always a possibility of a bad faith content creator stringing of chain of really important / spoilery footage together in a quick compilation I guess

oh I think I know which ones you're talking about

the one north of Gerudo is behind a sandstorm iirc , there's a shrine quest about figuring out how to gets past that sandstorm that you get from the bazaar on the way to Gerudo Town.
the one west of the lost woods you can reach by just following the roads around the canyon.

Ah, perfect. I can ignore that one then until I go explore Gerudo.

But first, I had to make sure I got 3 top tier horses. And the giant one. Sadly my stables are full now so no more special horses until I free one.

Is the OG Switch dual voltage? If I go to Europe, can I plug it into a 220v outlet directly? Same question for the dock itself.
