Such a great title. Can't wait to play this.

Might be playing Skyward Sword again on Switch since it seems like it'll be tying in quite a bit to that in addition to BOTW.

May 2023? I'll believe it when I see it at this point. Zelda's my #1 franchise but lord the wait gets old.

Agree, but at this point I would bank on this being the final release date. It's been pushed I think 2-3 times now, and usually once it gets to them putting a date rather than just a season like "Spring 2023", it rarely gets moved. I think BOTW got its date just a few months before release.

I really hope the main dungeons are more fleshed out this time. I get that the whole map was one giant puzzle in BotW but, the Divine Beasts or w/e they were called were a little disappointing.

May get a Switch just for this. I bet the kids won't mind.

Hopefully, the weapon-breaking mechanic will be improved. I am looking forward to it anyway.

I just restarted Skyward Sword. Such a good looking game.

I need them to remaster Twilight Princess. It's the most underrated game in the series.

Borrowed the mother-in-laws for a couple of months for BoTW. Was taking my time with it but rushed through the castle area and Gannon the night before she needed it back for a visit from other set of grandkids.

My son lost the physical copy of BOTW. Digital only for me for now on, unless there's a super deal on physical.

Is it tears like water from your eyes, or like tearing paper?
Based on the artwork it feels like the second one.
Maybe they misspelled tiers.

My 10yo has been dying for this since finishing BoTW. So I've basically listened to him whine about it for over a third of his life. Nice this hits when school gets out for his and my sake.

Is anyone else a little underwhelmed? So much of this looks identical to the first game. It looks like an expansion...

I kinda felt underwhelmed. Seeing the same enemies, samey looking places. It really does look like a DLC instead of a significant step forward. I was hoping for more since we've been waiting for so dang long.

The fact we know so little about what new things are featured in this game bugs me a little.

Are they doing more traditional style dungeons?

So is it tears like crying or tears like rips apart?

We knew this from the last Direct.

As for being underwhlemed, I don't disagree, if only because that trailer felt way more gameplay focused than story, and the story is what really intrigues me more than anything.

Admittedly it does look VERY similar to BOTW, but if they can make the entire overworld feel fresh and exciting, I don't think it'll be a problem. Just give us a reason to want to explore the entire map again, and I'm all in. The original game is so good that they can get away with that. (Plus the new underground and floating areas will add a lot of new dimension to the map.)

Personally I'm waiting to see the final trailer, which I'm sure will be more story focused.

To this day, this is still my favorite video game trailer of all time. Chills every time.

Good sign, TOTK file size is 4 GBs larger than BOTW.

Bodes well for the new additions like floating islands and dungeons.

It's like an episode of Mythic Quest in here.

Damn, could've saved $20 on Metroid.

Looks like both Zelda and Metroid are sold out though.

That trailer really makes me wish a Switch 2 was coming simultaneously. Zelda deserves 4k and hdr.

Pre-Orders are back at Target. I think they had to pull the plug on the deal. Not there anymore. If you're a circle member, there might be a $15 off coupon for spending over $100. So with Red Card, $19 off Metroid and Zelda
The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - Nintendo Switch : Target

Pre-Order is up on Amazon.

I was really hoping to be able to play this game in 1080p and locked 60fps on a Switch Pro.

Too bad about the chip shortage.

I admit I was a little underwhelmed by the trailer. Part of it was that o just wrapped up playing Horizon: Forbidden West on my 4K TV. After that the graphics here just look old. It looks exactly like BOTW with no noticeable change.

Still Zelda is my #1 franchise so I'll be the day 1.
