I dunno, I like hearing what people have experienced more than just seeing it.
I let my old roommate test out the game on switch for his first time and he managed in the first 10 minutes get my horse and almost run it off a cliff. He didn't think to call it over so he got on, but the horse buckled and they fell down the cliff. Horse didn't make it and Link died tumbling down a steep ravine.
RIP Oreo ;__;
(I reloaded my save file because I wasn't gonna just take that.)

Told my girlfriend we'd leave after I caught the last chicken. Played for an additional two hours climbing and going after towers. This games is too good.
Will do for sure! Hoping it does sway me back. I love 2d Zelda games, I think the series just works better as 2d.
Not like I didn't enjoy each 3d Zelda, but the fun has been fading and getting less enjoyment out of each.
Stay posted for Thursday for first impressions.

So, just completed the game. Endgame thoughts below, alongside some questions:
Gotta be honest, the final boss was pretty weak. Calamity Ganon's design was pretty rad (love the Guardian fusion!), but I don't think the second phase telegraphed the "dodge and flurry attack" solution well enough (although maybe that's because I'm terrible at that and avoid whenever possible, lol).
Dark Beast Ganon was very underwhelming as well. VERY cool setpiece in taking place on Hyrule Field and riding your horse, but that's all it is: just a setpiece without much substance. He never made any deliberate attack directed at me until the very end, and it just felt really sterile. Music also started off on the wrong foot, and I happen to quite like the game's score.
That said, I'm so thrilled with how the rest of the game turned out that I can forgive its limp conclusion. I imagine the final exchange between Link and Zelda will be much more powerful when I've regained all my memories (I noticed the crying scene from the January trailer wasn't present), which brings me to one of my questions: how much does the ending change depending on your level of completion? No explicit details necessary.
Also, is there a New Game+ or anything like that? I noticed there's a star on my file but it just led me back to my pre-Ganon fight. Regardless, I absolutely can't wait to jump back in tomorrow and DO EVERYTHING.

*Major Test of Strength*
"pppppffftttttt ok"
*precedes to waste 45 minutes dying to a triple wielding guardian*
GOD DAMN IT
*plays over the weekend learns controls, dodging, flurry attacks and perfects them for the most part*
*goes back to Major Strength Test........proceeds a long battle.......only to come out.....completely untouched*

At first it's like "cool game, sure", but then suddenly it's cocaine.
I love how random this game is.
I walked around and saw:
- A dragon flying around
- A blue bunny that I couldn't hit
- An NPC that was part of the "Yiga Clan", lol. I won't spoil what happens (if you don't already know) but that completely caught me off guard
Hell, I think I'm get more fun exploring the land than following the story line right now.

Is the there a way to back up my save, i mean seriously what happens if my console dies, everything lost?
Went into one today that was all water on the floor. Used Cryonis like it was my job and picked away with arrows. Had gotten completely wrecked in a previous major test and gave up out on the shore. Just approaching things differently makes a world of difference.
man, I hope hard mode is something substantial. if they mix up the world a bit I'm going in head first again.

No question the RGB setting in the Switch is borked. Next time you are on the game over screen, go into RBG, change it to limited, check the black level, than switch back to Full and it won't look any different.
I had to switch my TV settings but the first 7 hours I played with a washed out image.
Wow the game looks so much better now.

Dont use it against guardians? I have only really fought one guardian and it was with that as I was running away. What should I use for deflecting guardian lasers?

Maybe if you like open world games
The damn thing is really susceptible to freezing weapons. Freeze it, pull out some high damage two handed weapon, charge it up, and spin around. Rince and repeat until you kill it.*Major Test of Strength*

Literally any other shield will do. It's just that these attacks do insane damage to shields as you already seen. If you parry perfectly, even a pot lid will do.
That I do. Love me some fallout, skyrim, gta.
I really enjoy exploring, and that's something that's always been missing from 3d Zelda games in any meaningful way.

Can I buy some furniture for my house?
I don't feel like wading through a bunch of spoilers, but can you permanently kill the Yiga Clan from showing up? I've unlocked the map, done all the dungeons, and like 50 shrines in. I'm just looking for the last few shrines, but the stupid trash mob clan makes it hard to just run away and putting a damper on my exploration fun.
thats until they go full goku mode and just blast unlimited barrages of beams....you have to run around.....go in for a few swings......run around and repeat lol
Getting a bunch of (weapon spoiler)
feels so damn good.
I actually love these now cause they give like 3 good weapons at a time and I'm at the point where I usually only use one. First time was a nightmare though
ancient arrows and one-shotting Guardians

That is exactly what happened to me tonight. In the 3.5 hours I only did 1 Side Quest and advanced the Main Quest once. Most of the time was exploring the mountains near a village, climbing up hills to find things hidden. Fount a lot of treasure chests and other rare items high up in the mountains. You can easily get lost (time wise) in the game and also just roam around not doing quests, but just exploring.
One thing that bugs me, no caves as of yet. You would think with all that real estate they could of made some caves to explore. I only have 3 zones opened so maybe there are some caves, but I explored a ton and no caves. It would of been nice to have a few caves per zone that you adventure through, fighting enemies and at the end a special treasure or something.

Yeah, in Hateno village.
Wait, you can deflect guardian beams with ANY shield? Why does the Guardian Shield specifically mention it can deflect guardian beams?
You can do that? I didn't know they were that strong, I've been thinking of grabbing some and trying to grind out some armor.
You can parry with any of them, my guardian shield broke before I tested it but maybe just blocking with that sends the beams another direction.
You can deflect a guardian beam with a perfect parry with any shield. I believe Guardian Shield deflects beams while on guard.
A guardian shield is destroyed in one hit by a guardian beam. At least it was when I faced a Guardian on the way to
Goron City.
Same thing happened to me, but I had more than enough food to finish the fight and end the game.

Is it possible to repair weapons? Came across a sweet flaming Claymore I want to keep.
There is. You need to follow the golden rule of video games to reach it.
Check behind the waterfall
Test of Strength always ends up with the guardian charging for a strong beam blast at the end. Always satisfying to end the battle with a perfect parry.
No.
I got a bunch of those. At one point I had so many elemntal weapons but didnt have enough weapons that actually did good damage lol
Where are you getting so many clothes? I feel like I've been all over but I've only done a single dungeon. I have like .. 3 sets of clothes maybe...
