Maybe not. That Kangaroo is a jerk.

Unlike this guy.

Well said! I'm already dreading inventory management in Echoes of Wisdom. It would've been cool to see Breath of the Wild release as originally intended on Wii U, with regard to the UI. DS RPGs often oversold their use of the second screen for permanent, immediate inventory access, but it's easy to see how the tablet could have streamlined so many gameplay systems in BotW, without ever pulling you out of the world. You could quickly and intuitively cook food, craft stuff, change equipment, switch powers, etc.

I'm surprised that Nintendo never tried out voice command for the UI in the DS Zeldas. It could potentially provide a solution to the inventory problem on Switch 2. I feel like voice is an underutilized UI option (reliability and accessibility issues aside).

Can't wait to play this in like 5 years when It comes to me through someone elses effot because frankly I haven't taken part in as much hype as the rest of y'alls to care enough!

*Two years later...*

It's cool how Joycons aren't connected to each other, because my little brother also wanted to play this, so I just give him the
left Joycon. He gets to control where we go, shield, zonai art, weapon swapping and fusion. I get bow/sword/jump/run. We're fairly on-page about a lot of things so it goes a lot smoother than I expected...Has anyone else ever played a 1-P game like this?

The game itself, a lot of my siblings think it's a disappointment since it just feels like "another BOTW" rather than it's own thing. Me personally I rather enjoy how it feels like they threw some Skyward Sword into my BOTW. Even the music seems reminiscent of SS...
I feel like there's going to be some big time-travel twist where it turns out that Zelda was actually the first Zelda in all of Hyrule and did some convoluted Christopher-Nolan-esque stunt to make sure that Hyrule got saved, manipulating everything from the start.

It is kind of "another BOTW" but all the wacky stuff you can build is the fun part.

True dat.
