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 she gets a ring worth 1000s and you get a $70 video game. Sounds fair. I used to joke with my (now) wife that an engagement ring costs as much as a really nice DW drum kit (I'm a drummer). I told her I would get her an engagement ring, but she needed to get me an engagement drum set. We've been married for nearly 18 years. I still never got my DW set.
I told my lady the same, but for a 1980 Gibson Explorer E2. I’ll settle for Zelda haha

Thankfully the lady I just bought an expensive engagement ring for said she'd snag the game for me on Friday on her way home from work. Proposed in the nick of time to get my Zelda, damnit.
You'll probably get more hours of enjoyment out of TotK than she will out of you though, so I think you got the better end of the deal.


Totally kidding, don't take that seriously!

@theJaw

I'm picturing the following scenario, you telling her:

I got you an expensive ring. At least get me the Collector's Edition.

If I wanted a copy of Tears of the Kingdom before 10am on Friday, do I have any options? I'm handing down my Switch to my little sister as a graduation present, and the only way I'm getting off the plane with it in hand is to get it Friday morning.

Amazon doesn't usually deliver until the evening near me, and Best Buy opens at 10.

Some GameStops are doing a midnight release.

My digital copy was automatically downloaded and the icon is just sitting there, taunting me that I can't play until Friday. Surprisingly, the game is 16.2gb, smaller than Super Smash Bros. (17.2GB) and way smaller than Immortals Fenyx Rising (25.7GB)

I was going to suggest Target. I'm swinging by my local Target at 8am to get mine and my son's copies, and our sweet, sweet fanny packs!

Really? I've never heard of pre-order bonuses being scalped. I mean, I know people sell them, but I've never known of some big effort being made to obtain pre-order bonuses, and then people selling them for ridiculous amounts. Either way, I'm getting there right before they open, so I'm not worried.

When are reviews going to start rolling in? The game comes out in 2 days, I thought reviews were usually available this close to a game's release.

I'm hoping to see a ton of 10/10's, and "greatest game of all time" comments, similar to when the reviews dropped for Breath of the Wild.

Do games like this usually sell out in-store super quick? I'm worried that we won't be able to get our hands on one Friday afternoon/evening. Planning to go to Target to pick it up, probably around 6ish on Friday.

Given how many OLED systems they made, I would guess there will be enough copies of the game floating around for you to get one that day.

Scott I still remember I think it was one of the Castlevania DS games that had a bonus at Gamestop/EB Games that people were crazy for. I think it was about 15 years ago and seemed a lot people were selling. I believe I sold mine on here just to recoup a little of the games cost. It was big in the post here and I'm sure EBay had a lot of them. Kinda curious what those sell for now. Not sure its worth anything but I still have those stickers or whatever they gave away as the bonus at Gamestop for the 3DS Castlevania game.

Also saw at Wal-Mart yesterday that they had 3 spaces for the new Zelda at $69 each. At least its a dollar cheaper.

I mean, if it can be scalped people will try.
