The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

I just got a photos memory that showed it was one year ago that this arrived.

As someone who did not enjoy (or finish) Breath of the Wild I was really unsure if I was making a mistake buying this to play Tears of the Kingdom.

I ended up loving it and sinking an absurd amount of hours into it before finishing the main story.

@MuseumShuffle ooo valid, tbh my enjoyment might be tied to the fact that I abused the shit out of item duplication in TOTK because spending hours mining didn’t seem fun. Grindyness like that isn’t my cup of tea, in BOTW I could run around perfect timing with whatever weapon etc.

The engineering elements of TOTK are soooo fun though, and yes the shrines are a lot more varied.

MuseumShuffle,

@alexsereno I did zero duplication!

When I look at videos of what people created in tears of the kingdom, it felt like I was looking at another game. The only things I constructed were the jankiest solutions to shrines.

@MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social avatar

I rolled the end credits of Tears of the Kingdom after an obscene number of hours played.

Still kind of can’t believe it considering I debated whether I should even buy the game. I didn’t finish (or enjoy) Breath of the Wild.

I had some minor quibbles but overall I loved it.

The final boss battle was a weird one. The first half was miserable but the last part was absolutely wonderful.

@MuseumShuffle that ending was so satisfying!

The it was much better than BoTW, in my opinion, a nice way to close up so many hours exploring and finding things in that world.

Can’t believe how they made it even more massive than BoTW in the same hardware. Blows my mind how polished it works

@oscb I can finally watch all the videos I bookmarked about how people are impressed with the game engine.

Assuming I don’t get even more sick, I do intend on continuing to stream TOTK on Saturday, around 9PM EST! We got to Hyrule’s surface from the skies above, and stopped just after making safe landing!

I’m unsure how long I will go that night but I’m looking to keep each stream between 2-4 hours!

@thatgalsilver@zoner.work avatar

As a side note: I do plan on eventually having a weekday game and a weekend game. Weekend game will probably be the more taxing of the two, so eventually games like TOTK will only air on weekends. Weeknights will likely be solo Phasmophobia/classic Doom/occasional co-op if I can get some trans friends in :3

I'm happy with how much more stuff there is in the Tears of the Kingdom story. It may not be a whole lot, but it's way better than Breath of the Wild. Not done yet.

@DrewNaylor Oh man, the story is SO MUCH BETTER Imo. loved it

I can’t believe I’m so close to finishing ! With +225 hours played (yes, I don’t want to think too much about it), I have totally gotten the most out of this game. It’s been so much fun, but I’m also ready to end it! 😁

@Aday oh man, the last little bit is sooo fantastic

@Aday Grats! I ended recently too and I can say without reservation it was the best video game I’ve ever played.

MuseumShuffle,
@MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social avatar

It always feels strange being a person who loves video games, but hates boss fights. I have been absolutely loving Tears of the Kingdom and have sunk a ridiculous amount of hours into it.

This final boss fight is miserable.

ryanlintott,
@ryanlintott@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiem @MuseumShuffle I’d second this one. Hollow Knight is incredible but can also punish you so hard. I loved the exploration and difficult level traversal but the bosses were the worst.

MuseumShuffle,
@MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social avatar

@ryanlintott @mattiem is it too late to ask for a refund for it?

MuseumShuffle,
@MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social avatar

I am actually toying with the idea of finishing all of the shrines before finishing the main quest of Tears of the Kingdom. As someone who didn’t even come close to finishing Breath of the Wild this is an unexpected development.

Somebody talk me out of this.

WhollySchmidt,
@WhollySchmidt@mastodon.social avatar

@MuseumShuffle And I’m perhaps 1/3 of the way through Tears of the Kingdom, stalled out when I got distracted by Sea of Stars, then Starfield, then Spider-Man 2, then Mario Wonder…

But I will return to Hyrule!

MuseumShuffle,
@MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social avatar

@WhollySchmidt I am absolutely the worst about getting distracted by shiny new things during a Zelda game and then regretting it when I go back later. I'm not dropping TotK until I'm done. I honestly don't see myself going back to BotW.

Spikey hat hier wieder ein tolles Video gemacht. Wie gewohnt toll geschnitten und unterteilt. Außerdem hat er es wieder gut gestreamt. Retter Spikey überwindet diese Grußligen Laufenden Bäume mit links. Wieder empfehlenswertes Video, was man sich anschauen sollte. Ist meine Meinung.Zelda ist wirklich ein der besten Spiele die es gibt.❤

Do they eventually explain in why I have a "purah pad" instead of the sheikah slate or nah?

geolaw,

@toplesstopics Both Purah and Robbie have their own stories about that

Je vais donc commencer à poster mes clips de Zelda . Y'en aura un peu tout les jours ~

Vous aurez maintes fois l'occasion de le constater, je suis pas giga bon au jeu, et je suis toujours full demi-sauce (on change pas une équipe qui fait des clips fun :akko_derp:)

Vidéo de Zelda Tears of The Kingdom Je saute d'un planeur en vol, en essayant de finir dans un lac afin de couvrir ma chute (aucun dégat de chute si on chute dans l'eau) Comme le planeur est en mouvement quand je saute, j'ai son élan, ce qui me fait rater le lac à 1 ou 2 mètres près. J'en meurs lamentablement

@fenarinarsa@shelter.moe avatar

@aeris @Yamakyu Je précise que je suis pas le seul à penser ça, sur les différents RS je voyais mes mutuals en pv (qui avaient adoré botw comme moi) qui étaient à la limite de l'abandon au bout de 10h de jeu.

Yamakyu,

@fenarinarsa @aeris Naruhodo, merci pour votre retour ma foi. J'en aurai pas spécialement l'usage, mais nos expériences de ToTK sont tellement différentes que s'en est vachement intéressant du coup :9 Dommage par contre que ça vous ruine le truc OTL

I'm going to guess that Mega64 doing a fight scene homage to They Live, was timed in accordance with the upcoming 35th anniversary screenings of They Live.

IMHO the best part of this sketch is the scene in front of billionaires' photographs (specifically: Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates) talking about how unethical it is to duplicate money without working hard for it.

"So you're just going to sit there and let your money duplicate without having done any work to earn it? God dude, that is so unethical! That should be illegal!"

rm4,

@teajaygrey Heh heh. Never seen that channel but definitely see the They Live reference 😎

teajaygrey,
@teajaygrey@rap.social avatar

@rm4 The fight from They Live is about the same length as the entire Mega64 skit. ;)

Mega64 have been around for a while, but their humor is pretty nerdy.

Here's an older one (17 years ago?), parodying Shen Mue, by asking people out and about in the default world lines from the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgmCdt4EgxU

More recently (3 months ago) if anime fans acted like sports fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49xVysIwz9M

What are you playing this weekend?

@Azurakumo and I have these in rotation







blackknight95857669,

@mrpablington @Azurakumo Trying to slam through the Season of the Witch pass before launches on the 6th.
, this odd little platform game I got on for a buck
I might try to dip back into even tho it crashed on me as I finished the first sector, but before the achieve popped which is never a good look for a game, even if it's a roguelike.

On my surgery recovery break I’ve gone back to with the goal of getting all the Lighroots.

I have one left now and I’ve had a blast. Discovered so many things I’d have missed if I just bee-lined it.

@mrpablington I started focusing almost exclusively on the light roots. It was so much fun exploring the Depths

On Nintendo’s reluctance to make Princess Zelda playable

Despite its multi-decade history, the franchise's actual titular character has almost exclusively been allowed to do cool things if they're off-screen or in a spinoff.

Planning on attempting to defeat Ganondorf this weekend so I can finally consider completed even if I haven't hit 100% on it otherwise. Fingers crossed I can so I can then move on to one of the few dozen games in my backlog.

@SimonSays enjoy Ghost Trick if that really ends up being the next game. 🙂
I'm hyped for another replay as well, but first I need to finish RE4Make.

@mforester Just started Ghost Trick this morning and finished what I guess is the tutorial area? Never played it before but I'm liking the atmosphere on it so far.

The final main quests in are...not what I was expecting, and I'm LOVING every minute of it. Seriously, this game. 😳

dcorsi,

@viticci I am afraid to go on for the fear to finish it 🤣

bkbkbk,

@viticci I’ve been putting those off for months now in favor of side-quests and experimenting. Thanks for the reminder that I should probably get around to doing that thing.

I guess Sheikah can teleport. Pay attention to the right side of the screen.

@KirbySSM @totk That would make sense, Sheik and Impa from Ocarina of Time could both disappear in a flash; Sheikah are stealthy assassin types, after all

I think I've reached a point with Tears of the Kingdom where I'm okay with saving it for when I have a solid hour or two to play instead of trying to squeeze it into quick breaks from work or cleaning or sleeping. Been poking at an old Stardew Valley save in those smaller spaces the last couple days, though I should really get tucked back into Pokemon Emerald. Or Octopath Traveler II.

trixter,
@trixter@retro.pizza avatar

I usually start a new game when I return to something after not playing for a while, which has led to lots of unfinished games (looking at you, Darkest Dungeon), but jumping back into this Stardew Valley in Summer of Year 2 is nice because I'm just established enough not to have to grind too much. Though there's a lot of stuff I absolutely don't remember what I was doing with. Like my fruit tree situation.

Good Morning Friends! This morning I talk about playing on and how maybe I have misremembered what it was actually like to play Legend of that first time in the 80s. I am not super far into the game and it is a relatively spoiler-free discussion.
