A friend of mine has been playing it all day today though and won’t stop gushing, so at least I’m getting excited for it! Oh yeah I gotcha. I've been remoting from my PC with moonlight on my steam deck. I hate playing at the computer too

Interrupting the leaked game chat but, I've been playing all the Zelda games on Switch Online in anticipation of TotK (so far did OoT, Majora, Minish cap all for the first time) and just finished Zelda 1. I enjoyed it more than I expected and think it's kind of a shame that it took them 30 years to make a similarly structured game (BotW), and every game in-between was based on the more linear and guided progression of Link to the Past. Of course all the Zelda games are good but the world felt a lot more mysterious than the newer pre-BotW games, with being able to find and enter the dungeons in any order and having almost no guidance. I guess Link Between Worlds was close but even that one was still pretty tied to the dungeon item-based structure where you couldn't even enter a dungeon without going to Ravio's shop and renting its item. I thought it was cool by contrast that in Zelda 1 you could sometimes go through a whole dungeon and beat the boss without finding the dungeon item and would end up revisiting it to search for secret rooms and bomb some wall to find the item etc. Even then it was usually not something mandatory for progression but just nice to have. I beat Ganon without ever finding the red ring and looked it up afterwards. I generally liked the dungeon structure where you would have to try to figure out where to bomb walls to uncover new rooms, even though it could sometimes devolve into trial and error (not as much as the overworld secrets though) and probably only worked due to the game's limited implementation where the bombable spot is always in the same place on the wall. Idk in general even though it's such an old game it felt a little refreshing compared to the very rote structure of every game in between this one and BotW. But it kind of makes me wonder what the games in the intervening era would have looked like if they followed the example of Zelda NES rather than LttP. Will replay LttP next if I have time before TotK, but even though I remember a bit and know it established the linear item-gated progression of the later games, hoping it's still a bit more of a transitional game between NES and the later era structure wise.

LttP has some sequence breaks I think that function as a bit of choose your own adventure wiggle room. It's still one of the most Zelday Zeldas made, I could think of things to fuss about but not enough to write about. Fantastic music and atmosphere. Beautiful art.

I remember it's real easy to wander around doing whatever once you get the hammer. Not even glitchy stuff, you can go to crystal 4 once you get the hammer and it's almost free range of the dark world at that point. If you wanna glitch you can beat the game just going to the intro dungeon.

Barreft posted:Exactly. I got to experience it today playing in beautiful 4k30fps. Now it's not 4k60fps yet so I agree my enjoyment wasn't as good as the full experience. But give it a week at most for the 60fps mod In what? When I tried earlier Yuzu didn't work and Ryujinx was only getting 20fps. So I just played on the actual Switch.

I never understood the attribution of linear-ness to link to the past. Like, I see how technically the game structure is mirrored/copied in Ocarina, but lttp feels very different from the linear/pre-breath 3d zelda. It’s not quite as open as the first game but it’s much closer to that than ocarina/ww/tp

RatHat posted:Wait does this mean your BotW save is imported? I wonder if it affects anything else Kinda the start defaults you to all hearts and stamina but i dont think its all equipment at that point, you lose everything 5 mins later anyway, however your horses from botw that you kept in a stable before starting totk get imported over

I’m playing BotW for the first time tonight and dang, this game really is just Zelda themed Skyrim plus Portal? I like it a lot but I guess I didn’t believe the influence was THAT strong

I only played BotW for the first time recently too but I don't quite see a close resemblance beyond 'fantasy game' I guess. On the other hand I finally uninstalled Skyrim a few months ago and haven't played it in ages so maybe I just don't remember.

Skyrim offers more content/quests/character customization, BotW is better in nearly every other aspect. I thought I'd be fine waiting 10 more days for TotK but knowing the pirates are already enjoying it while I wait for my copy plus these spoilers everywhere make the wait so much worse.

It’s not a joke, I think it really does feel much closer to those games than I expected. It’s still very good, probably better than Skyrim (but not Portal, Portal 2 especially)

Skyrim and BotW are both open-world games where you can tell the main quest to piss off after leaving the tutorial, but that's about where the similarities end. I guess the connection to Portal would just be shrines as test chambers but that seems like a stretch?

I know people joke but Skyrim was probably the first exposure to an "open world" for a lot of people outside of like GTA, which is a little different. It definitely broke the "normie appeal" barrier in a way that Fallout or Oblivion or whatever didn't.

What are ideas for vehicles you want to make? One I think I’m going to make is a little cart that just rolls an active flamethrower into enemy camps.

Not sure if this info is anywhere, but when can we expect the TotK pro controllers to be available? nintendo.com still says May 2023 and the online retailer search says out of stock everywhere.

The downside to meat is that it always feels weird to make Link kill wild animals just for a couple steakums or hot wings. Meat and Arrows were my big money sinks, if a vendor had either I'm buying em out. My Hyrule and Horse for some kind of infinite magic arrows.

Honestly the amiibo collection I already had (and continued to add to) helped with both of these a lot, so probably kinda functioning as intended.

I fell off of using my Zelda amiibos after getting all the extra gear. At a certain point it's like spending 30 minutes prepping to play a video game and it just kind of feels pointless unless you are absolutely desperate for extra stuff. The Guardian amiibo was the exception, because it was almost always ancient materials.

Yeah you don't need to use them daily but if you're running low on something it can be a good way to get some more without much risk/effort/resource consumption. Plus it stops you having to run to every town to restock a decent number of arrows (sorry beedle but your convenience tax is a little high for me).

I'm curious if the BoTW amiibos will give the same items more or less (minus the special outfits and weapons I assume) in ToTK. Since ancient items seem non existent in the new game as far as I can tell from trailers, I wonder what the Guardian Amiibo will give.

Seems like for the most part same stuff. They got van rudoh helm and whatnot, plus some new gliders with different skins. I guess they didn't mention guardian amiibo specifically dropping the new mats or not, but I'd guess so. Unfortunately Worf link just gives meat, no wolfing around.
