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.

One of my other main wants for this game was much more enemy variety (non-boss or mini-boss). BotW was basically just Bokoblins, Lyzels, and Moblins over and over again. The trailers and videos I've watched have shown a couple more enemies, but I'm still concerned there's not a ton of variety. The Zelda franchise has SO many past enemies they could bring in, this really shouldn't be an issue. It's pretty sad that even the original Legend of Zelda had more enemy variety than Breath of the Wild lol

I've seen some other past enemies that I won't spoil. One I saw just this morning and hadn't seen in any previous clips. Maybe around a dozen new enemy types (plus their different varieties) that weren't in BotW, and possibly more I haven't seen yet.

TotK = BotW Complete Edition, let's be honest. That said, I'll still buy it...really hoping the Fuse ability alleviates issues with weapons breaking.

Gotta disagree there. BotW was a very complete game. It was just lacking in some ways as a Zelda game. It's looking like Nintendo put a lot of effort into correcting that, which is great.

The following Switch Lite is NOT real. Fan made art. Nice color/design. Plain, but not boring. Looks nice.

I do like the look of that. I'd prefer a more classic Zelda-green over that mint green of the TotK logo though.

Saw a pic of someone's quest file who had completed the game. This game is just packed with content. Not going to go into spoilers, but I'll just say there are a lot more side quests than in BotW. And still don't know how many of those damn Koroks there are!

I think my only remaining concern at this point is how much did they just recycle the BotW overworld. I really hope they changed it up A LOT.

I saw 3 of those new Zelda Switch systems at Wal-Mart today. I wonder if they will still be there next week. Looking forward to this game.

So I saw a video that detailed what Amiibo do in TotK. Nothing major (like Link wolf) thankfully, but honestly there were a few I don't own that I kind of want (Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask and the champions). Might have to look into a programmable dohicky or buy a card set. Not paying collector prices on anything out of print. Amiibo bonuses as the video described:


All Zelda Amiibo (except wolf Link) give a fabric for the glider. A decent number of cool looking ones. Some additionally give outfits and masks.

Some of the Zelda amiibos came back in stock at certain retailers recently. I got Majora from BB and OoT Link from Amazon. Already have the Link's Awakening and Wolf Link amiibos. Had some other Zelda ones but sold them.

Looks like you can build some crazy houses:

It looks like BB is going to restock the Majora one. Not a big fan of that game nor amiibo, but the bonuses in TotK looked pretty sweet. I'd pick up the LA Amiibo.

Really kicking myself for not pouncing on more Amiibo when they were being clearance out. Both of those I had the opportunity to buy under $10. For awhile GS had them 4 or 5 for $20 used. I passed on so many. Really wished I pulled the trigger on Little Mac at launch, and Ken later on. I thought they'd all end up overproduced and discounted deeply in a year like most Nintendo accessories.

At least I was able to pick up the loftwing Zelda and samus/emmi 2 pack for $5 each with GS's latest sale.

Release date for the game is just a week away. :)

Really looking forward to this one. I can use a good game to really get into.
