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.

Thanks for posting that @bill.

Looks pretty good.

That Steam Deck one is pretty nice, kind of going with the look of the Zelda pro controller.

"We've got good news: during Clone of the Kingdom’s mass production run, an intern managed to severely botch the green ink pigmentation, producing a deep black. After taking one look at his accidental masterpiece, we immediately gave him a promotion. As a direct result of this mishap, each Clone of the Kingdom order contains an additional color option for the left Joy-Con, free of charge. As for the intern, his new job title is "Hazardous Materials Taste Tester."

Am I the only one using Amiibo? I see all the talk about farming etc, if ya got amiibo dat your farm. The Surface seems larger maybe cause it is easier to get around earlier in the game. So you can roam so much more, BUT add in the Depths and Sky overload! SO far I think the depth was the most fun exploring.

I haven't started playing yet (will do so tonight!), but my daughter has and she's been using the Amiibos. We've been going here to find out what items you can get: https://www.gamespot...

Turns out you can get special themed fabric for your paraglider and other cool items that are related to the game that a particular Amiibo is from. You have a chance to get items like the White Sword (Skyward Sword), Twilight armor, Sheik's Mask, an Ocarina of Time equipment set, and more!

I used my faux-miibo cards today. I realized I never created cards for some of the Zelda amiibos since they didn’t unlock anything unique in BOTW. So I’ll need to do that tomorrow.

I have a Zelda Amiibo Card set works great, n Zelda Skyward Sword Amiibo one that was on sale a few months ago. I also used my Splatoon card set as non Zelda Amiibo give plenty of stuff too. Twice now been asked for stuff and if I go here I could find it, BUT I just so happen to have that item right now winking raspberry

I bought a stack of them when monster hunter rise released. The amibos were OOS and very expensive then.

I ordered a set of cards for myself of eBay. I'm not into collecting figurines but it would nice to have some of the unlocks. The full set of 26 is not much more than 1-2 amiibos.

I also ended up doing the GameStop deal, trading in two games I was able to pick up for $22 off offerup. After my $5 off reward, the total came out to a little over $17, so $39 for a physical copy is not bad.

I created my own using blank NTAG215 cards I bought a long time ago. I think I bought like 200 in bulk.

I'm so lazy I didn't even print out art for them. I just keep them in their plastic wrapper and wrote on the plastic wrapper with a Sharpie lol.

Note that I do have an almost complete amiibo collection, less some of the original Japan only Monster Hunter ones that are super expensive now.

In regards to amiibo - Some phones (like my pixel 7) can do NFC burning. I bought 25 blank NFC tags off of amazon and use my phone to burn amiibo. It's super easy and quite cheap.

I spawned in Epona last night using Twilight Princess Link, only to realize that we were on a mountain that required a ladder to get off of. So Epona is still stuck on that snowy cliffside :(

Yeah, that's what I did. I just created 4 newer ones I hadn't since I played BotW: Link's Awakening Link, Smash Bros. Young Link, TotK Link, and Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword HD

Now I have a card for each. I scanned them all yesterday and got a few unique items, including the Majora's Mask cloth for the paraglider which I'm rocking now. Almost, a lot of the weapons I got are all better that what I had, lol. Also got Sheik's Mask and a couple of the divine beast helms.

I just saw there's an update for TotK. Does anyone know if it fixes the duplication glitch?

It did not. They fixed the Closed Door quest that some people could not complete.

Nice. I heard from another source that it did not fix the glitch, but I wanted to be sure!

Apparently, there's also a weapon duplication glitch:

Nah, I've been scanning my Zelda Amiibo every day I play. The best thing I think I got is the OOT Tunic. Otherwise, it's just a great way to stock up on craftables and food. yes
