Holy Shit, what a jam-packed final trailer! Definitely avoid if you want to go in fresh. The trailer shows a ton! So much story!!!. The wife is having a disc replacement on the 12th, so I will need to be off that weekend to help her convalesce. While she rests, I think I may be able to keep myself busy.
Yeah, that was some crazy shit. Like the final BotW trailer, it makes the game look story-heavy, but I'm sure that it won't be. And I don't care about the story, anyway. Good to see all of the new... stuff, though, including the new twist to gameplay in the form of a companion. And it was nice of them to quickly dash the hopes of a playable Zelda, haha.
@Brandon I hope her operation goes well. Good luck!
I just hope they actually put in music. only the castle and Kass's theme in BOTW had spicy enough themes that I can actually remember. I'd be satisfied with even just ambience (feel like I'm using the wrong word but I'm rolling with it.) like this.
Washington Post: "Thanks to the addition of underground and sky areas, there appears to be far more area to explore than what was available in the also-gargantuan Elden Ring"
Game Informer: "TOTK feels like a true evolution of one of the most beloved games of the century" 🔥🔥🔥
Isn't it crazy? I saw a commercial for this game last night where it had no gameplay footage, just shots of people on a couch reacting to whatever's happening on the TV followed by a smash cut to the logo. I love it.
Nintendo is dead set on not revealing any information about the story, characters, towns, dungeons.... before launch.
There has been almost a fanatical level of secrecy for years, but I think on May 12th it's absolutely going to feel worth it.
I heard a bunch leaked but I don't really hang out on game places except here and some indie dev forums and such. So I have no idea what is going on and I'm fine going into the 12th this way.
@Stan McStanly What about the ladies, they can do whatever they want?!?!
I'm excited to be able to play this alongside all of you at the same time, and discover things together since I got to Breath of the Wild about a year after it came out, so a lot of it was already known to me.
Incidentally, it seems like Tears of the Kingdom's biggest risk is that it'll suffer from Fractured But Whole syndrome, where using the same world as its predecessor causes it to lose some of the charm.
But this interview series with the devs is great. They're really insisting that keeping the same Hyrule was the best choice for letting them do cool stuff!
I believe them. This game is going to play with your expectations hard, and it's not like I remember every cliff and valley from Breath of the Wild anyway.
Jokes on FBW... I hadn't played the previous game!... but I definitely played Breath of the Wild... so we'll see.
Glad to see the devs so proud and confident in their decision.
I think most people won't recall the nooks and crannies of the world to where it'll feel stale. Yeah, we know the desert's in the south west, and Death Mountain in the north east, but there's going to be so much changed that it'll be mostly fruitless information.
