What's with all the secrecy around how many switch consoles a store will have. Called best buy and target and they both said they can't disclose how many units they will have.
 
Fuck, first time I read that article on Gabe Marcelo. Zelda has been a lifelong reason also for me and my brother to hang out, sadly we couldn't work it out for BotW. Very nice gesture to dedicate the OT for him. Very sad story about Christina Grimmie as well. Also saw a similar story about a Shenmue-fan about a day ago or so. Take care of yourselves, family and friends people, and let's enjoy Zelda.
 
Just finished the tutorial area.
Seems to be running fine on the Wii U so far.
I'm enjoying it, but kind of iffy on the controls.

Controls take a bit to get used to. Once you get it though, it's super tight. Probably the reason I didn't really like the Plateau that much was because most of it was spent adapting to the controls.

Is the Master Sword breakable?

I don't know.
You need a lot of hearts to even pick up the master sword. It's not rusted though, so that's a good sign.
 
So I just went down from the tutorial area and
that Stone Giant Enemy. Am I supposed to beat him already or should I stock up on heal and stamina?
 
To everyone who has the game already, I hope you're having fun in Hyrule! And to everyone who has to wait until tomorrow afternoon like me... godspeed my friends. We can do this.

Can't believe it's almost here!!! ahhhhh
 
You could remove the need for the mobile data warning by not making your thread out of multiple 2+mb images in the first place.

Yeah, some of us aren't on google fiber, more like good will hunting. I have no idea what the OP even looks like to be fair. lol

Wasn't aware we were doing videos in OP now, sheesh.. Still images and editing can go a long way with a few gifs though.

I understand he worked hard but yeah you guys can address this in the future. I don't need to go to the first page so it's fine I guess.
 
Postnord taking their time, as usual...

when should the game be available in the EU Wii U eShop?
I have about 0% faith in Postnord actually delivering a Switch for me tomorrow. Why, oh why, did they have to put the launch on a friday?
Zelda should be available on the eShop right away, shouldn't it?
 
Anyone know where's the
korok seed turn-over NPC after you first meet him near Kakariko?

There's a stable
north east of hyrule castle on the border between the Eldin mountains and the forest. Just follow the River Hylia north until you get to the fork.
 
Well, my Master Edition hasn't shipped yet, so it looks like I am picking up a regular copy for the weekend. I didn't take the weekend off to sit on my ass and stare at the system! I am hyped though, read almost all the reviews possible. I. Can't. Wait.
 
With these reviews, and the poll thread, you have to wonder why they decided to not make this a Switch console exclusive. It would sell like hot beans.
 
What a beautiful OT, Übermatik. I am very excited for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, even though I won't be able to play it right now.

Well for one it was announced as a Wii U title. That would have pissed off more than a few people I'm thinking.
 
It already is selling like crazy anyway. Hell I'm tempted to get one just for Zelda alone.

What's the deal with the UK limited edition being so item weak? A map would have been nice but a carry case even better. Strange that it's nowhere near as good as the NA versions.
 
Best Buy still has yet to ship my Wii U copy. I placed the pre-order on the 27th so now I'm getting worried I probably won't get it until Monday. :(
 
I have the Wolf Link Amiibo, do you actually have to have Cave of Shadows in Twilight Princess completed to get Wolf Link in BOTW?

To take good care of their existing fanbase by keeping their promises? Many Wii U owners bought their Wii U many years ago to be able to play the new Zelda.
 
Subscribed! Great job on the OT. I went by Best Buy this afternoon and saw my special edition sitting behind the counter. No midnight launch either...I have to wait until 10am tomorrow morning. We're almost there B O Y S.
 
Did my first shrine. Have mostly just been running a mock, the usual thing, cutting grass, cutting down trees, setting fire to everything.

This really feels like the first NES title if it had come out in 3D all those years ago. It throws you straight out there and you just pick it up as you go. For anyone that hated Zelda for all the hand holding, this is the game that steers well clear of all that.

Whats clever though is the games isnt coming across as obtuse or as though it isnt teaching you how the game world works; it is, but its subtle and natural in the way it opens up what you can do.

Really enjoying the few hours Ive played, and most of that has just been wandering about checking things out, seeing whats about, finding new and exciting ways to kill Koboblins etc.
 
Phenomenal OP. My copy just shipped an hour ago. My switch is hopefully soon to follow. I can't wait. This thing looks fantastic.
 
God, I ordered the switch version and was not able to pre order a switch console. Hoping I can walk in and buy one :lol Chances are low, I know.
 
Help with a quest..

Ok, anyone get to the blue flame mission? where in the village can you find torches? arrows don't stay lit long enough.
