Currently has a May 12 2023 release date. That's just over 4 months away. That's not so far, but there isn't that much known about it.
Here's a video that has the reveal trailer and other info that has so far been released.
https://youtu.be/30D...
Is it unusual for such an anticipated title that's only several months away to not have much known about it?
I don't usually follow games along their pre-release stages, so perhaps a lack of info is standard.
Personally, I'd rather a lack of info when it comes to games that I plan on playing. I don't care for spoilers, or to watch every trailer that comes out.
I'd have thought there'd be more out about it though. But again, I don't usually follow along with the progress of game development.
Definitely a game I'm looking forward to though.

So obviously not for everyone, but came across a simple duping glitch while searching for the best ways to get rupees in TotK. This will undoubtedly get patched out, but it takes maybe 15 seconds to duplicate anything that can be attached to an arrow, including diamonds. Do not click If you don't want the temptation. ...
My son found this glitch online last night and was so excited about it. I'm probably going to dupe some diamonds before it gets patched. This game is incredibly stingy with money, it's ridiculous. I won't be able to afford those climate clothes until I'm so far through the game that it really doesn't help me anymore anyway.

There are mini-games to play where you can make money. There is one by Rito Village where you have to catch thrown boulders and place them on a platform. You get 100 rupees every time you get X number of points. I gained a few hundred rupees. Admittedly, it is not easy and takes a bit of time to really make money. In BOTW, my main source of income was selling meat sticks (cook 5 gourmet meats and get something like 400-500 rupees, although again that takes time and arrows to collect the meat. I basically kill every animal I come across, especially the bigger animals. My other biggest source of income was selling gems and luminous stones. They are worth 20 each and very easy to find in the depths. I don't know if they are worth saving for any reason...obviously we should not be selling gems anymore.
On one hand, the resources are WAY more plentiful than they were in BOTW. On the other hand, they are much more practical and usable, so it's not as easy to sell them off.

I duped 20 diamonds to buy the snow and lava armor sets, and the heat (voe) head band. Probably around 65% success rate once I figured it out.

@bonham2 Are you saying we should keep them to fuse to weapons or is there another use for gems that I'm missing? Either way, I haven't come across anything that requires one to use a gem just yet, so I still sell them off. I'm sure I'll need to fuse them or something eventually, but I've barely fused anything myself so far. I just use the weapons I find along the way or take off enemies. There are some nice ones to be found underground.
I don't know if it bothers anyone else but I sorta can't stand looking at Link with an obnoxiously big weapon on his back. I obviously use them if I have them and it doesn't ACTUALLY take anything away from the game, but I do kinda miss just having the classic "sword and shield" look as I play through a Zelda game.

While I'm only a few hours in, this drove me nuts when fusing with a stone ... looks absolutely stupid.

Agreed. Some of the fusions look really cool, but a lot of them look completely ridiculous. What's worse though is when you have something fused to your shield. A giant rock stuck to Link's back looks so bad.

I've been playing around with it a bit. I haven't played a ton, so unfortunately, I don't have any diamonds yet, so I'm duping sapphires. Hopefully I can find a diamond to dupe before they patch this. I'd say I'm getting about a 65% success rate on it too.

As far as I know, it's just for fusing. The sapphires and rubies are the best fuses. They'll make anything an elemental weapon. I think diamonds make things really strong, but I haven't found any diamonds yet.

I had 2 diamonds before duping, but I only remember getting 1. I rapid fire pick up all gems. I took down a talus fortress, might be where I got it.

How do I rotate things so that they stand straight up? After clicking R, rotation only goes in 4 directions, not a 360. So unless I pick something up perfectly, it's slanted. My raft wouldn't raft very well, barely moved. I had to make a new one. (My first raft was great, but after I placed it in the water it sailed off too quickly for me to jump on. I watched it float away 😅😭)

You just need to get used to using a combination of movement holding R, and not holding R.
It took me a little bit to get used to as well. It didn't really click with me until a couple of hours outside of that initial Sky Island.

@nonamesleft if you were to detach that sail from the log by toggling the right stick while grabbing it with Ultrahand, you’d then hold R, and press left twice then down, and it’d be upright. Then you’d stop holding R and get it to the center of the raft.
It’s hard to explain in words, you just have to sorta feel it out. Takes a bit of getting used to.

Rotate the part using the d-pad so an up or down rotation gets you where you need to be. As someone who uses CAD (computer aided modeling) it's second nature. Good on Nintendo for introducing this to gamers. The ultra hand is a very basic modeling program. Microsoft has 3d builder for free which is a more advanced version of this (yet still very basic).

I haven't used an Amiibo, and I have Epona stabled by default. Maybe that's what they're referring to?

I rotated something so that the slanted part is directly facing link, then rotated it forward. That uprighted it.

Link hums snippets of tunes from the series as food is cooking :)
I listened several times to be sure. Definitely heard a piece from Lost Woods and a piece of from I think Ocarina of Time.

I'm enjoying the game so far. This is really tricky. I have other things to do. Can't just be spending 2 hours now playing this. Well, I could. But I shouldn't. But I probably will... 😅
