    I never bothered with the korak seeds. Maybe in this game. 😁😁😁

    Encountered a Korok trying to get to his mate on one of the starter islands. Jerry-rigged a gondola for him and stuck him to it, repeatedly hitting him against the ground as I tried to attach the gondola to the rail. Sent him over the rail on his merry way, only for him to crash into the cliff on the other side instead. He dangled helplessly on the precipice as I realised I was actually meant to go over with him to help out. I just ran away instead.

    10/10 game.

    Someone on reddit saying to enable TruMotion/motion smoothing/whatever your TV equivalent is to make the game a lot smoother, if you're struggling adjusting to 30fps. Gonna try it myself tonight to see if it makes much difference.

    A strong note of caution on this: you're going to introduce extra input latency if you do this, making the game feel worse. And those motion smoothing options just look crap anyway, and may introduce extra stutter etc... You'd be much better just getting used to the standard 30 FPS in 'game mode' as the game will feel a lot better to play rather than any artificial aids your TV offers.

    ****, I am skimming over posts now to avoid spoilers. I think you really need to into this game with minimal knowledge.

    Also, I think if you didn't really like BOTW you won't enjoy this.

    One thing is that it looks like they are going to tie all the Zelda storylines together and explain them in this game.

    Which is a godsend because up to now they've been confusing waffle. And also a smart move by Nintendo to finally give the Zelda franchise a foundation. Especially important considering the audience it now has after BOTW.

    They have a huge franchise now, if they play their cards right.

    Got my game and amiibo and just been sent home from medical appointment suffering from exhaustion told don't do any stressful activities for next 72 hours. Zelda launches seem to correspond with great upheaval situations for me.


    Try not to post too much about how you are all enjoying the game.

    I am enjoying this much more than botw and wouldn't have called myself the biggest botw fan. For me this addresses everything that annoyed me about botw so I would argue the complete opposite of that statement.

    6 or 7 hours in now and loving this. Some genuinely genius gaming moments even at this early stage.

    94 minutes. What's your excuse?

    Nintendo already tied the storylines together and it was outrageously bad with split timelines and other such nonsense. I think it's just better to take them all as their own separate universes. Lore usually spoils things.

    I'm a bit overwhelmed by the possibilities the fusing/ultrahand mechanic brings. I kind of feel like I'll never get the best out of it and that there's some cool thing I just haven't thought of. That's FOMO for you!

    One of the only gripes I had with the previous game have been addressed, you can drop stuff while at a chest!

    Phenomenal game.

    Caved and walked into Argos and picked this up earlier. Playing docked on a Samsung Q80t and it looked very saturated and very sharp in game mode. Switched that off and messed around with colour tone and picture mode and it’s a loooot better now. Just getting stuck in on first couple of islands. Looks promising.

    Quick question lads - Used to own a Switch, thinking of buying one again for this and a few other games. Does anyone know if Nintendo still do the two game vouchers, and if so is this eligible? Otherwise I'll pick up a hard copy. Cheers!

    Yeah same for me. Standard mode a lot easier on the eyes. Others saying game mode better. Must depend on the TV. Or maybe it depends on the eyes. 👀

    Yup, you can use the Nintendo voucher on it - they’re advertising the savings on the Switch Online landing page.

    Yup. It was more of a caution to people who really didn't like BOTW.

    This is good, real good, ridiculously good and I haven't left the training area yet. It does make some of the mechanics in BOTW look primitive now.

    Man. Even the possibilities with the first power are over whelming. I’m never the most creative at using powers in these sorts of games and already feel in the training area like I’m missing so many opportunities to do stuff

    There is a big stupid thingy dispenser in this game. And it works because this game is not afraid to be a game. I love it. And that flying thingy at the end of the first trailer is zen like and controls wonderfully. I can't believe a little silent low power device is running this game.

    Can only imagine how headwrecking some of the later shrines will be with the new powers, will probably have to build a giant Rube Goldberg machine at some point

    About 10ish shrines deep and every single one has made me feel like an idiot and a genius at the same time.

    Played it basically all day yesterday, a lot to get your head around with the new mechanics and that sense of ‘where the hell will I go now’ soon after the Sky Island intro.

    Any one else finding the ultra hand a bit finicky? Can take some time to adjust objects to the right angle - can be a little frustrating.

    Also has anyone managed to build or do anything useful or creative (very) early on with those stations with wooden planks and wheels scattered around?
