Zelda: Leaks of the kingdom thread

[Hagashager]

zelda fans are not comparable to Sonic fans. Most Zelda fans are garden variety jackasses who are really into their media, but can still function in normal life.

The vast majority of Sonic Fans legitimately cannot negotiate normal life. They truly are dysfunctional and their love of Sonic is a symptom of a much deeper problem.

Would it be unwise to play ToTK before BoTW? I'm hoping to pick up both later next year – I've never played them before.

I heard ToTK uses the same map as BoTW, which is why some people say ToTK lacks the sense of mystery and wonder they got when playing BoTW for the first time.

With that in mind, I was thinking about perhaps playing ToTK, with its expanded world and new gameplay features, first, and then visiting BoTW after I've finished.
I get the impression that playing BotW first somewhat dulls the experience of ToTK.

Play Breath of the Wild, wait five years, then play Tears of the Kingdom.

I mean, if you only want to play one of them, then yeah play TotK. If you intend to play both (and I do think they’re both worth playing), play BotW first, but for God’s sake don’t try to play them back to back; I can’t imagine the burnout.

Thanks for the replies (sorry no access to Reactions). I won't play them back to back, sounds like putting some distance between them is a must. Tempted to start with TotK first. Just waiting for all the patches to be rolled into one cart.

Sonic fans are autistic manchildren and female furries. Zelda fans are BPD girls covered in tattoos and #metoo accusations or speed running trannies. If you think either are functional you're delusional. There's a reason why Zelda and Mario 64 are the big speed running games and speed runners cannot negotiate soap let alone a normal life.

Absolutely. TOTK uses the same base map and adds 2 additional ones above and below ground. It uses a completely different set of abilities and the map changes make a big difference in the feel of the game. BOTW will end in burn out (you play until you get sick of it and go to the last boss). ToTK so far feels like it's own thing and the reused map is big enough that you never really learn it playing the original any way. You're always pushing forward and rarely retracing your steps.

If you can I would get BOTW in the current sales and play it now. Then next Christmas get TOTK. It should be a big enough gap to refresh yourself.

These are CONSOLE ONLY games eh?

"Yes"

Thank you for the reply. That makes things a lot clearer. I'll go with BotW then, as suggested. It's £45 brand new at the moment (down from ~£50). I had hoped it'd drop a little further, but it seems unlikely. Around this time last year, Amazon dropped it to £32. It unsurprisingly sold out within a few hours, and I unfortunately missed it.

I looked and the best I could find is Ebay doing it about that cost but usually without a case. If you have a Wiiu it runs better on it and can be soft modded with little effort.

I usually don't buy second hand games for Switch. Also, I can't be sure how old the carts on eBay are – I could be buying a BotW cart made in 2017, which would require a bunch of patches. I want the latest cart revision for BotW updated with the six or so patches. I'm more likely to get a fully patched cart by buying brand new direct from Amazon (or any other popular mainstream retailer).

Never owned a Wii U – it's a console I know very little about, surprised to hear BotW runs better.

Is there a DLC version? I think it has 2 of those.

There is. It includes all the DLC and patches for BotW. But it's exclusive to Japan, and I believe it was only available in limited numbers.

Just skip totk completely, it sucks.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Suck down that totk! Learn to love it.
