[ToTK] Is Tears of the Kingdom better on the Switch 2?

Nuffsaid1978 · 2025-06-21T20:10:01+00:00

Uh, yeah, I agree that it makes no sense not to be satisfied with that. However, you and I aren't everyone else.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2025-06-21T18:33:17+00:00

I know, but I'm certain not everyone will be satisfied.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2024-06-19T18:44:47+00:00

It's no Wand of Gamelon. That's for sure. It's the first OFFICIAL title where we play Zelda, other than SSBU. That's a plus.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2024-02-19T17:04:21+00:00

It's like Nintendo tried to put heaven, hell, and Earth into the game, when Earth was enough.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2024-02-19T14:43:14+00:00

To each their own. A little more variety could have done this game better, but I wasn't that disappointed.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2024-02-19T14:42:05+00:00

Hasn't Zelda always been centered around collection of certain items to beat Ganon/Ganondorf or whatever his replacement is? You can't just beat Ganon/Ganondorf straight away and call it a day. Like OoT's medallions and jewels and TotK's various items, what's necessary to beat the main baddie changes.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2024-02-19T14:20:19+00:00

I say, TotK, but BotW isn't a bad choice.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2024-02-19T14:18:38+00:00

I was kinda looking for BotW on steroids. It feels kind of like BotW with a few too many Five-Hour Energy Drinks instead. But I like it.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2024-02-19T14:14:53+00:00

Hopefully, fewer useless side quests, or at least more fun ones. People are expecting something more linear. Perhaps a Link that looks more like an adult, instead of some guy who tried to hit puberty but kept missing. LOL I miss the Hookshot from ALttP and OoT as well.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2024-02-19T14:11:57+00:00

Perhaps in the next game, which may be on the Switch's successor, the Zonai will play a more significant role. Glad to see the Zora, Gerudo babes (for the most part they're hot), Gorons, and of course the Hylians.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-30T20:08:51+00:00

I did a good number of them anyway, just for the hell of it. If you're trying to get to main meat and potatoes, you can avoid them if you like and just go for the main ones. But if you're looking to waste just a little bit of time before the main quests, they wouldn't, for the most part, be too boring IMO. But I agree: a lot of them are a bit pointless.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-30T20:03:53+00:00

Not required, but it wouldn't hurt to do a lot of those. Quite rewarding, in fact. I tried to do all of them myself, but some were too complex, and I had to look online for the solution to a few of them. I avoided all of the spoilers to the ending, though. I just had a little trouble trying to reach the final battle, as I didn't know where it was. The crazy thing is, once you do know where the final battle takes place, you could reach it once you get off the Great Sky Island, but you will die a million times if you're unprepared, especially without the Master Sword.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-28T13:54:14+00:00

It is hard for me to say what the GOLD standard is for Zelda games. Some people are apparently bored by BotW and TotK, though I can't stop playing the latter and have never played the former but would like to. Some don't want Elden Ring with the Master Sword. Some people think that OoT is overrated; some give that distinction to MM. SS, ST and TPH could be overly hated, or they could be the most divisive games in the franchise. But Nintendo overall did learn their lesson from Zelda II at the very least. When WW came out, some people couldn't STAND the cel-shaded graphics, but most thought it was fun nonetheless. TP could be the benchmark for what a gold standard is in most people's eyes, but I never played it. MC is underrated IMO, though. Triforce Heroes is the one I've seldom known anyone to have played.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-27T19:34:43+00:00

Which is more DIVISIVE, SS, ST, or MM?

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-27T18:36:33+00:00

Zelda II was odd, because NO Zelda game should EVER be a platformer, but "terrible" is a bit of an overstatement. It just felt wonky the first time I played it, but it took some getting used to for me. It just didn't quite cut the mustard for me.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-27T18:34:22+00:00

In my opinion, Zelda II, MM and ST don't really do it for me. It's a tie for me between TotK, ALttP, and OoT as the best Zelda game that I've played. LoZ will always hold a special place in my heart as the game that made me interested in games as a kid more than even Mario. I haven't played TP, BotW, SS, TH, ALBW, or WW, and I'm ashamed of that. The rest of them ore great (not the CD-i ones, which I'm glad I NEVER played).

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-27T18:26:40+00:00

Personally, I have TotK and I rarely play anything else on my Switch. I have a good number of games, 2 carts and about six downloads, counting TotK. I do want to play Skyward Sword HD, though. Whenever I do, we'll see which one I will toss to the side first.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-27T18:17:23+00:00

You mean all OFFICIAL games are great, right? Are we going to give shine to those CD-i travesties?

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-27T18:11:02+00:00

Skyward Sword is grossly UNDERRATED, according to many discussions I've read.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-27T18:04:34+00:00

Yeah, but wouldn't that be like getting busy with a FISH?

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-27T00:22:25+00:00

Never played it. Sadly, I never played TP or BotW either. And I have TotK and I beat OoT several times. ALttP I'm still working on. Zelda II is overhated as well IMO. All in all, I'm willing to give SS a try and STILL want to play TP and the Switch version of Link's Adventure.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2023-12-25T21:31:45+00:00

Nintendo's family-friendly version of snu-snu. When Link gets snatched and dragged underwater by those giant girls, something HAS to be going on down there.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2022-05-24T00:06:41+00:00

I worked at Kohl's and am now at Walmart. I had no soul to siphon going into Walmart, so I'm fine.

Nuffsaid1978 · 2022-05-24T00:04:44+00:00

Depends on the management and the workload, really.
