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.

They could give hearts the ole Zelda way too if only for nostalgia feeling. Be nice while fighting a crew they drop a heart when they die that you touch and instantly get instead of going in a menu to use etc, they drop all kinds of stuff so maybe they should. How about both ways.
I cut grass but dont seem to get rice like BOTW mainly grasshoppers etc. I would take some Link’s Awakening flavor.
Something I dont like is the Blood Moon on Repeat, I dont mind the moon but I have seen the cutsence enough wish we could turn most cutscene off. If I can skip ahead, give me the option to not load it.

I finally discussed the whole
Zelda being a dragon with some people over the weekend since they finally collected all the memories.
Please use spoiler tags, but I'm curious how this hit everyone? Me personally,
I felt a little in my gut, but ultimately I really disliked this iteration of Zelda (mainly her voice) so I'm not too bummed out.
I am genuinely curious to see how the ending plays out, and if it opens up a sequel to
reverse her transformation somehow or if it will rap it up to be a 2-parter, with the next Zelda being all-new!

What duplication glitches are still in play?
I'm sure there are quite a few out there. Just search YouTube for "totk duplication 1.1.2". The only one I've used is the free frozen meat when auto-building a meat stick in a cold place. I've seen another that requires positioning yourself at exactly at -156 deep and shooting fused arrows upwards.

Missing a few memories yet, but...
After one of the earlier memories I was expecting Zelda to turn into a dragon. When I saw the light dragon for the first time it confirmed it for me (didn't know about the master sword at that moment), so I was waiting to see how desperate times got. Sans 3 memories, I was a bit taken aback at just how easy they all just rolled over, and how all it took was Ganondorf to get 1 light crystal thing to completely change everything. Like how weak are the others without the crystal if Ganondorf's power leap frogged them by that much? Again I don't have the whole picture and I need to rewatch the memories in order, but some serious DragonBall Z crap going on in this one.
As for hearts, the game could easily drop hearts that auto-filled 1 empty heart per baddie defeated without the need for eating. And I'm not talking cartoony hallmark hearts, I'm talking ones that would fit in with the rest of the drops.

On my 3rd temple (Water). I reached the temple before I progressed the required quest line so trying to activate the temple gave me an error. I created a Zonai device using 3 fans and a cart with control stick along with a big battery from the closest sky island that was pretty low in the sky. It took forever to actually reach the temple lol.
Once I actually progressed the quest line and had to shoot the arrow in a very specific way, it took me forever to find the "droplet". I was about to give up and look up how to do it when I found it via the appropriate angle lol.
Of the temples I've done so far (Wind, Lightning, now Water), I've enjoyed the path to this one the most.

I’ve got 12 hearts and two stamina bars and the master sword. I’m thinking of getting the stamina bars before getting more health. Anyone who beat the game, is this enough health? I’m far into things

Haven't beaten it myself, but I opted to max out my stamina wheel.

I think that’s what I’ll do. It just seems more satisfying and challenging (combat wise) this way. Climbing and gliding is too fun to not have full stamina. You get the full glide suite yet? So awesome

I believe I just have the torso. Honestly, once I ended up getting a certain sage, that helped me out with sky traversal greatly!
I think I'm going to need to hunt down the other two pieces to complete the set.

Yeah the sage is awesome for sure. I didn’t get the set until I got the full map explored and all the sky towers but it’s still awesome. The earlier the better for exploring. It’s also an extremely easy set to get if you look up a quick guide but to upgrade to second level you gotta hunt down some aerocuda a bit

Just got the last Kolton reward, and he says he wants the rest, that he can sense them. That there are 93 more! Fudge that. Really dislike the emphasis they placed on caves. A couple dozen or so would've been cool, but well over 100 with maybe a third of the shrines being hidden away in them is starting to take away from my enjoyment of this game. Got about 30 shrines left, half are in the sky and the other half are likely in caves.
Also the lightning temple felt a lot more like a traditional dungeon than the wind temple or lava temple, but despite that I wasn't a big fan of it. Not sure if the issues I had were glitches or intentional, but I lost my helper quite a bit and had to either warp or run back to the save point. Never had to do that with the other two.

Not me, I love the caves! I'd be fine with even more caves!

Yah I'm digging the caves too, personally. The "more" factor doesn't really hinder my enjoyment of the game. I suppose that sort of thing could frustrate somebody trying to do EVERYthing in the first play-through, but considering you don't need to beat every shrine or max out your stats to beat the game, I just look at it as more content at the end of the day. When I beat the final boss and grow tired of playing the game, I'll feel somewhat comforted in my $70 purchase knowing that there will still be plenty of content to explore and complete when I eventually pick it back up down the road. I'm not gonna do what I did with BOTW and beat every side/shrine quest or unlock as many shrines as I can before getting to the end, because that made for some empty sessions when I tried to play it again after.

Is there a way in TotK to have more than one thing on your sensor at a time? I know you can't in BotW, but I wasn't sure if there's something new in TotK that would allow it. I'd really like to have shrines and koroks on my sensor at all times.

I don't mind the caves persay, it's I hate the fact that they shoved what seems like a third if not more of the shrines in them, and in doing so they removed actual shrine content. Just like BotW had gobs of shrines and the lackluster divine beasts instead of complex dungeons to fill the large world, TotK robbed many shrines of actual content in lieu of running around looking for caves. Find a cave, break through 8 Boulder sets, fight a couple enemies in a dark/hazy/slippery environment, enter the shrine... here's an item you likely don't need and a light orb. That's been mostly what I've been finding over the last 30+ shrines.
It's not about doing everything, but I am doing all the shrines, temples, collecting the armor I want and completing the story. I've already completed the map and filled my battery (not going for the bonus as of now as I don't see a benefit). Nuts to koroks, kolton, and any other grindy efforts to say I 100%'d the game., same as BotW (which I did twice, and would probably do a third time before replaying TotK). Thinking about it, I don't know if there is anything that would make me replay TotK tbh unless something changes. I currently see it as Minecraft, rather than replay it I can just open up my existing file and puts around.

Thank goodness for the item dup glitch. If I couldn’t duplicate materials for armor upgrades and diamonds for money I’d be burnt out pretty quick.

I absolutely love the caves. The more the better. I like that they hid away armor and shrines in them. The only knock on caves is that after collecting my final item from Kolton, the bubbul gems seem worthless. I know I will never get 100% of the caves, so it takes away from my desire to fully search the cave once I've found any big items that may be in there.
I refuse to do any dup glitches. I have about 20 diamonds (I make my money from making and selling meals/elixers). My biggest concern is going to be getting enough star fragments and dragon parts. I think I have only picked up 5-6 star fragments so far, and dragon parts have been very stingy as well.
Whoever mentioned the Lightning Temple earlier, your sage/companion is human at that point and limited to her own abilities. The puzzle you need to solve is how to get her to the area so she can use her ability to help you. It's actually a great temple.
My opinion on the 4 temples:
Wind - Best lead up, good temple (albeit too easy) with a fun boss
Fire - Worst lead up, best temple with a great boss
Lightning - Weak lead up, great temple with a fun boss
Water - Decent lead up, horrible temple with the dumbest boss I can ever remember in a Zelda game

I'd rank them overall:
1. Wind
2. Lightning
3. Water
4. Fire
I thought the water boss was pretty lame too, and for as hectic as the battle was, it was too easy. Compare that to something like the wind temple boss, which was also easy but a lot more straight forward, it doesn't hold up. I liked the build up with the "water drop" quest though, thought actually getting TO the temple with the lowered gravity was fun, and love Sidon. I think the closest to "disliking" something from the game's story was the build up to the fire temple, the "drug rock food" gimmick seemed like a kid wrote it, and I honestly didn't find the temple all that memorable. The boss WAS fun though. I thought the Lightning temple was probably my favorite experience as far as the temple itself goes, and I dug the boss battle a lot, but, in my book, nothing beats the build up to the wind temple and the sense of scope facing off against that boss. That, plus the fact that I dug the temple being inside a giant airship, and that one easily clears the others for me.
And then of course there's...
...the fifth "temple" in the depths. That one felt a lot less like a temple though, even compared to the other 4, considering part of it took place in 4 separate structures and then the last bit of it was a trek through the depths themselves. If I had to put it in the ranking, I'd probably put it after Water and above Fire.

That was me. She popped in all the time in her human form. Anytime I flew beyond her reach she popped in. Just not in 1 area.
I really didn't like the lead into the lightning temple sans the one fight mainly cause I liked the design of the enemy (other than that the fight itself was meh).
