Hello Everyone!
Let’s start a first ever, “What are you playing this weekend?”.
I am still completely enthralled by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I am about 50-60 hours in, and still have lots of explore. I don’t want to mention anything that might be a spoiler, but I think I should be around 60% done with the story. I am on media blackout about the game, so I don’t actually know how long it actually it is, but this is what it seems like. Of course, if I go by total amount of Shrines, or Koroks, I am probably just 10-20% of the total.
All my other games are on pause, probably not going to resume anything else until I have finished Zelda.
What about all of you? What are you playing?
Same as you: TOTK. I’m already 40h in and I feel like I’m just starting! This game is really massive imho … for someone like me maybe who is just exploring and doing some quests but without structure.
In a way I’m looking forward to the paper guide to just bring some kind of structure and sense of “where the hell am I in the story, is this just 2pt or am I already at 50?”
Sometimes I miss the more linear Zelda’s
Side note: I must admit I still use the dupe glitch. I really like this relaxing way of playing. For me it has been a life saver, kinda like an accessibility option. Otherwise I would not be able to play at all (health issues). So now I’m very anxious 😬 that the game will install the update when I misclick Oh well, still lots of fun!
Question back: what was your first Zelda?
Mine was Links awakening on the game boy, I was 12. Couldn’t speak a word of English. No internet. Shit was haaaaard! 43 now. Still playing 😁 and…… Introducing Zelda to the next gen to: what did you think? Jup the remake of that one! Fully dubbed! So far my nephews and nieces love it!
Yeah, the game is huge.
If you want linear game-play, just do the main quests. They even mention which quest you should do before, as everyone will talk about it. And just do some explorations and side-quests along the way. Gives the game a lot more structure.
Personally, I haven’t used the dupe glitch, didn’t even know about it until it was patched and saw someone mention that patch fixes it, but I have nothing against anyone using it in a single player game. If it’s how you enjoy the game (and this isn’t effecting anyone else), you do you.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t acquainted with Nintendo when I was young, more of a Sega kid myself. Got curious about Nintendo after PS3, and was wondering what to get next when they announced Switch, and I moved over.
So, while I did play a little bit of A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time somewhere, my first proper Zelda game was BOTW. Since then I have played the original Zelda, Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening remake. Also going to try rest of the Zelda available on Switch.
