Fort Fun Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I've just been playing the new Zelda for the past 60 hours or so and it's incredible. I almost missed the CSU/UNR game because of it. Anyone else grab a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jiddump Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Wii U or Switch? I picked up my Wii U PO at GS but won't have that kinda time to get into it for a while. And I'm not even gonna bother trying to find a Switch, unless I see one in the wild #BeenThereDoneThat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoOrange Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I picked up a Switch on Friday. The local Fred Meyer had 36 of them that morning. I got there 15 minutes before they opened and was able to snag one. I also picked up Zelda: Breath of the Wild and it is every bit as good as the game critics were saying it was. I haven't played close to 60 hours (that's crazy), but I'm probably 15 hours into the game. It's a very addicting game. I also own a Wii U. I've heard it's almost identical on either machine. There are only 6 games that have every received a 98 or higher on Metacritic and the new Zelda game is one of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's underpowered compared to the competition, but being able to grab the console and go beat a couple more shrines in bed is pretty freaking sweet. I can't believe I'm playing a game like BOTW on a handheld. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of fun that game is. Still trying to track down all of the shrines. Mario Kart on there is incredible, too...same with Mario 3D World. I love the sports games on PS3/4/5, but man, you can't beat the Zelda and Mario games on the Switch...plus it has all of those old NES/SNES games on there too. Can't beat it with a stick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthlobo Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I've gotten really into Super Mario World rom hacks this past couple weeks. Crazy hard, but super fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecSU Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Oh we doing this? If you like BotW, and you find yourself getting interested in Zelda lore I recommend also picking up Skyward Sword HD. Is it BotW? Hell no, there is only one BotW, but the games are closely related and there are locations in BotW that are clearly locations from Skyward Sword but many years in the future. If you've watch the trailer for BotW2 it looks like Link will be returning to Skyloft. I don't know how closely related the two games are but something is up at Nintendo.

MetropolitanCowboy Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Zelda: A Link to the Past is my all-time favorite Zelda game, followed by Zelda I...but BoTW is amazing, absolutely amazing, and makes the triumvirate for me. Any idea of how that new one is that just got released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other Zelda releases have been the Switch remakes of Link's Awakening and Skyward Sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that game. ~15 hours in, I think breath of the wild might win. that said, it's a lot bigger game. 1 Quote Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Any idea of how that new one is that just got released? There is a timeline in the Zelda story. The very first event in the timeline is the events in Skyward Sword, the very last events in the timeline (for now) is Breath of the Wild. If you like BotW and think you will pick up it's sequel I recommend getting Skyward Sword HD. Based on the BotW2 trailer it sure looks like Link is going back to some version of Skyloft. That said Skyward sword is a completely different playing experience both in controls and linear story flow. https://www.zelda.com/about/ Timeline info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much backtracking and the characters are cringey (cough, groove, cough). You mean Groose? Skyward Sword is definitely the worst Zelda when it comes to game controls and your partner Fi...but the HD re-release fixed a lot of those issues. It follows the same model as Ocarina of Time and Twlight Princess...mainly a linear story that includes objects needed to advance the story and playable areas. I recommend this game if you are in to the overarching story of Zelda and because the BotW2 trailer is clearly hinting at a connection to Skyward Sword.

Watch the trailer....when Zelda falls into the pit the next shot looks like Link descending to Skyloft, but a decayed version in the future.

retrofade Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I actually finally picked up a Switch Lite (because my kids effectively have sole possession of the Switch) last week, so I'm looking forward to finally actually playing BotW.

Maynard Delecto Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 BotW2 is going to release with the successor to the Switch, one would imagine. Good luck trying to get one of those. We're going on a year from the release of current gen xbox and ps, and they're still hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
