I've only played a handful of Zelda games (I was too young/not born yet to play the 'big' titles like OOT and Majora's Mask) so I'm slowly making my way through the older titles and they lowkey can't compare Wind Waker is that girl tho, she needs a Switch port ASAP.

Eóghan Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 It's been almost 4 days now since the leak and nobody actually beat the game yet lmao. I mean there must be something goin wrong if the crazy crowd who play nonstop haven't reached the credits ... For comparison someone beat Elden Ring in under 30 hours once it was out there.
fountain Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I haven’t even really looked into the leaks that much other than a few details, but they already have me more hyped than any of the trailers did tbh I’m kind of confused why they marketed this game the way they did
SlowGinFizzzz Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Link's Awakening and A Link Between Worlds are lowkey the best Zelda games if you really think about it...

The marketing kind of largely focused on the new abilities, which felt like fan service to those hardcore fans that were making and playing mods to BOTW. The final trailer was also very clunky and abstract. The few leaks that I saw actually made me feel some excitement toward the game and pre-order I lowkey think Nintendo was behind the leak cuz they noticed their official marketing wasn't doing much lol Edited May 5, 2023 by Contessa
Spark Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 I think Nintendo knew that whatever came after BotW would smash hard, so keeping it as a surprise would actually be better from a marketing perspective. Although, I think they should have revealed some more in late April to account for leaks. Anywho, do you Nintengirlies think TotK will outsell BotW? I used to think NO but i'm not sure now. Splatoon 3 outsold 2, but Fire Emblem Engage kinda underperformed compared to Three Houses so.
Rence Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Being a sequel to one of the most beloved games of all time is honestly the best marketing for ToTK. Nintendo is really confident with showing as little as possible cause they know this will sell anyway.

FE Engage won't even hit 1M, while 3H is already past 4M but yuh OT2 too tanked as hard as Engage too nn. I hope TOTK does outsell. Honestly playing the game now i'm glad they hid SO MUCH of TOTK. It's so exciting discovering everything.

I have no expierence with other Zelda games than BOTW so this is something new to me. So far I like it, the artstyle is really weird but it seems like it wil be a fun time Wow, the original Link's Awakening was the first Zelda game I played, as a kid, and one of my first video games. I'll have to check out this remake, didn't it know it existed! You're gonna love it, if it's like the original.

The way Fire Emblem/Nintendo Youtubers made it sound like it only sold like 500k less than 3H...what the hell. I'm interested in seeing how the heavily rumoured Genealogy remake does now.

I was very team “this is just expensive DLC” as recently as the 10 minute gameplay video. 10 minutes of hearing about how you can fuse weapons and create vehicles really did nothing for me, but that final trailer (and the very few leaks I’ve seen) has completely changed my tune and expectations Edited May 5, 2023 by xXavril

thatsmydemi Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) To be honest, only Engage and Octopath have underperformed/flopped. And Octopath doesn't really have a solid fanbase so it's not shocking, unlike FE. Pokemon, Splatoon and Xenoblade have done better than their predecessors. Edited May 5, 2023 by thatsmydemi
D.Va Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 I see that you girlies are already on the TOTK train but I just finished the XC3 DLC and *****... It was everything. I was GAGGED when we went to the real word (and I think that the radio hosts implied that XCX is in fact somewhat canon ? ). I wish XC3 was made of the great parts of the main game (exploring all the colonies, chasing your own characters and classes, ...) fused with the DLC. The exploration in the DLC is so much better than the main game, I wonder how big the map is because it doesn't look that huge but it feels AMAZING to explore.

At the same time - I'm not sure how am I suppose to know some of the things I have to do in this game I have to use a walkthrough. Maybe I'm just not bright enough tho
ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted May 6, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 6, 2023 I finally switched and now I'm excited for TotK Canceled my Friday afternoon meetings so I can get home early and play 5 hours ago, the70s said: I'm almost done.

Matthew > Rex XC3 > Shulk XC1 > Rex XC2 > Shulk XC3 > Noah Not the minor spoiler I need to start playing Future Redeemed but I told myself I wouldn’t start it until I at least finish Pokémon Violet’s story. I’ve been holding off on finishing the game for months. And not me having like three other games that I’m currently playing and have not finished yet (Astral Chain, NieR Automata, Nirvana Initiative) plus TOTK coming.
Dylangaga Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 If anyone happens to get an extra TOTK pro controller brand new I will buy it from you!! I'm in the US.
