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.

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.

So my buddy just texted me, his normal non-modded Switch just let him play his pre-loaded digital TotK. Check yours. If yall are able I may just go N voucher and d/l it.

I'm an idiot. I misinterpreted his text.

Zelda is kidnapped by Ganadorf. Isn't that all Zelda games?

Nope, a ton of them have different storylines.

Don't retailers normally ship on Tuesday for a Friday release?

Yah, big time fudge Gamestop. My pre-order was paid using Paypal Pay-in-4, got all paid off last month, and I just received an email telling me my payment didn't go through. And it apparently wasn't even because of the price increase, they "just have this problem with Paypal" according to the contact person I just spoke with. I ordered it as a guest and now I have to create an account and enter the order information, at which point they'll reject my paypal order (and HOPEFULLY refund it, who knows) and have me order it again, which I just can't do right now as money's tight and paypal refunds take a few days.

So guess I'll be joining yall in like 2 weeks. Very cool!

Idk, but that wasn't the case the last two times I preordered from GS. Both times they charged and shipped the day before release.

That sucks. They had an issue with my Paypal payment too (Paypal debit business card). Thankfully I have an account and ordered that way, so I was able to log in and try to re-process it. When I did, Paypal sent me a verification code that I had to enter, then the payment went through. Weird.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear about all that. That sucks. That's why I typically only use GameStop online as a last resort, or if I have giftcards to burn.

If you cancel and order on Amazon, it looks like new orders will still be delivered on release day.

Update: Gamestop straight up lied about my payment going through. I spoke with Paypal over the phone and they let me know the payment 100% went through and Gamestop declined that it did. I imagine this is because of the price increase, because I ordered via GS the day the increase was announced. The people I spoke with on the phone via Gamestop told me the payment wasn't authorized by Paypal (it was) and that I'd need to log into my account to enter my credit card information in order to complete the order (and reach that $70 mark, apparently). I initially did that, but then decided to just cancel the order. They're not getting my business from here on.

Now I filed a dispute with Gamestop via Paypal and hopefully EVENTUALLY I get my money back, but it probably won't be any time soon. 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.

All in all, Gamestop is a piece of crap company and I'll literally never be dealing with them again. But all is good otherwise. yes

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
