when I went to set up the ticket it reupdated it to coming this monday which is perfect. Still playing Horizon and will have more than enough to do until then.
See y'all when I get the game

Ugh...can't imagine how long it'll take to dl the game proper+patch :/
Was hoping to play it tonight. Might be an all nighter...

Honestly I might get it for Wii U as well just for the sweet disc art.
And, well, because I got TP for both Wii and Gamecube. TRADITION.

That is just not true. I just did a 100% run of Skyward Sword. 30 hours. Both games are piss easy, and you'd have to be intentionally wasting time to get that high a number.

You did not do a blind 100% playthrough of Skyward Sword in 30 hours.
Credits are rolling.
What. A. Game. What a game!
They really stuck the landing with this one. I'll say no more.
See you all in the spoiler thread in a week or so. I'll answer questions here for people who get stuck. I can already imagine the same three questions coming up again and again.
What a game.

Can't say anything about SS.
TP playing the main campaign take me about 28 hours (on three occasions). And I'm not the best puzzle solver. I don't see how it could take that long.
What are the questions?

I can absolutely finish TP in under 30 hours on a subsequent playthrough without doing much optional content, yes.

That's true. My first time blind 100% run (which was my first run ever of that game, I just wanted to do everything) was 35 hours. Apparently I'm a god at Zelda games. I'll accept that.

This fact still blows my mind.
Basically three puzzles I imagine people getting stuck at time and again. Three places I got stuck, and I've noticed people asking them elsewhere. I had to figure them out myself but I'm happy to help

Yeah, I don't believe that for a second, but cool.

You don't believe easy games with minimal optional content can be completed quickly?
Aight.

How many Shrines and Koroks seeds have you done?
So far?
40
38
33 hours 28 minutes.
It's not persistent at all, really. Enemies will stay dead for quite some time, seeds and fruit will stay picked, but everything will eventually come back.

Was hoping it'd be up on the eshop already. Guess I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Not Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword.
It's crazy how much more I did in BotW than TP or SS and yet I beat it in significantly less time.
That's the magic of a total absence of busywork.
And yeah, those are 40 hours games minimum iirc.

Hey Griss I don't expect
you to go into detail but how was the end game stuff? Would you say the final boss is satisfying?
Thanks. That's actually pretty early by most other examples.

You planning on doing any more shrines and puzzles? Can you continue to play your save file after finishing the main story?

Try Flipping the Table. The Ball also bounces so you can literally beat it into the goal if you so desire.
These sorts of snafu puzzles are quite cruel in general, even in real life they're not particularly kind, much less in a videogame.

Best Zelda game ever?
i know reviewers are saying the dungeons are different and I'd like to avoid spoilers but did you like them, and were the changes welcome? By that I mean how the dungeons worked and how there were presented within the context of the overarching story.

I went back out after a couple hours to buy a Pro because the JoyCon are too small.
And I have fairly small hands.
Ill give it a go also how do i get to the chest?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
The guardian with the laser you first come across makes me feel like I'm missing something about mobility. Jumping and running doesn't seem to do a damn bit of good, is there some button combo that gives you a roll away or something?
Satisfying? It's incredible. Phenomenal. The game wouldn't have gotten the reviews it did if they didn't nail the ending.
I don't know... I'm kinda addicted to the game, yet I want to wait and pick up a Switch (or see if I do) before 100%-ing it, or I'll have to do it all again, you know?
As for your second question, that's a spoiler, so...
You go back to your last save before Ganon, but your save file now has a star on it to denote that you beat the game.
I have a question someone can hopefully answer in a non spoilery manner.
How is the story? Every preview I have ready has only talked about the game play, and since the game is so open you can technically skip most of it. Is it obvious where the main story path is, and is the story any good?

Well, the Gamestop up the street from me tricked me into switching my preorder from Best Buy. Not doing a midnight release like they said. Been planning on this night for a while. Took tomorrow off work. Shit. I'm bummed.
Have fun, everyone else.

Does the game stay challenging all the way through?
Go stealth and avoid them. That is all i have been doing.
If you lock on to an enemy with ZL press either across or back to dodge/backflip
Can you confirm the update is indeed a patch from the internet and not just an extra install pack from the disk like some are saying?
Spoilers as to quality of the narrative only, not as to what happens:
It has the weakest story of any 3D Zelda. It's just not the focus of the game. Like the original LoZ, it boils down to 'Kill Ganon, save princess.' And along the way you visit all four corners of the world. But there's nothing moving or memorable about it, unlike past Zeldas where each had some really special moment. Here, it's 'Go kill ganon my dude.'
100% absolutely.
The one exception is that as you build up food reserves you can cheese the game, but even then you'll still be getting one or two-shot out of nowhere from time to time. Don't cheese food and you have a perfectly balanced game.

Want a tip for the early immobile Guardians?
Strafing at the right time and a well timed parry 😉
Maaaaaan... tomorrow can't come soon enough! >__<

Thanks for the responses, Griss! You must really like the game to double dip on the Switch version.
I didn't quote your post, because I sure as hell aint reading that spoiler lol

How were the side quests? Were they comparable to MM in terms of story and were they fun to complete?

Took me about 40 my first time
Let me be clear - the side characters (think Darunia and Ruto from OoT to know what I mean) are great, and people will love them. So there's that.
Side quests themselves are typically not much different from standard open-world side quests, but the writing absolutely has that class Zelda NPC-charm to it. When you're in a village talking to people or getting quests it 100% feels like past classic 3d Zeldas - in fact it's pretty much the only time the game does. Nothing as involved as MM at all though - side quests were the raison d'etre of that game, after all.
