How far do I have to progress in the story to find Zelda? I already have two stamina bars
She's in the beginning of the game dawg she's that blonde-haired Dragon flying around the Sky Islands. LMAO @ Nintendo hiding Zelda in plain sight. We've seen her around since the previews.

Speaking of items, I noticed an improvement with some of the costumes in ToTK is that
They added more stat bonus variety, so for example, that orange joint with two horns and he's shooting a fire-infused gem+arrow from the last trailer? Well that gives you an Attack Bonus + extra attack bonus if using an elemental fire attack. OR the attack bonus only includes fire attacks. I'm looking at the emblem its showing attack up sword and a sun right next to it.

For example, in BOTW there are two costume sets that had a climbing bonus. One was the climbing gear used less stamina, the other was a DLC costume that gave you longer sideways climbing jump. Well in TOTK they added a 3rd climbing stat in the Frog Suit that lets you climb in the rain without slipping

The new consensus is that the entire BOTW/TOTK storyline no longer takes place beginning immediately after Skyward Sword.

as far as the Time Travel aspect is concerned. Every event in the game has officially taken place after the established Timeline..Like these are the last games in the series including when they talk about 10,000 years ago. Even that takes place after the other mainline Zelda games.

In A Link to The Past, humans who went into The Dark World, which is what the Sacred Realm turned into after Ganon took over, turned into monsters. For this Zonai shyt to work for me
I’ll just imagine they are humans turned monsters who escaped The Dark Realm but never turned back into humans….many years after the main Zelda timeline. Otherwise, the younger team members who kept pressing Aonuma to add aliens to the game is making it seem like Zonai are the aliens they wanted to add.

Yeah they are already complaining on resetera. They're even saying the story is presented the same way. Gotta unlock it through collecting memories again. However, this game does NOT play the same. It's harder. They turned up the difficulty and this Gloom shyt has also made it harder. Enemies can one-hit kill you more than ever.

Also, the Zonai equipment we've seen so far was only half the shyt that's actually in the game. and building stuff can get really complicated. I seen a dude built an actual Catapult. He put a Korok on there and shot him into the sky on some Angry Birds shyt. Can't do that in BOTW.

If you fuse a cart to your shield you can grind the rails like Sonic the fukking Hedgehog.

It's a ridiculous amount of variety compared to BOTW
Yeah that's exactly the stuff that I've been clowning this game for.
I get it. It takes skill.
It's not for me.

So basically this is gearing up to be more of the same?
I mean for those that rocked with it that's cool. For me, it doesn't sound like nearly enough to bring me back around with any kind of urgency.
Nah, this is different. This started with a cutscene so I already knew Sony had something to do with it.:wow:

Will the New Zealand trick work for switch/tears of the kingdom ??
Yeah, however it's not as easy as just switching your location to New Zealand like on the Xbox.
You'd have to create a New Zealand Nintendo account then purchase the game using a New Zealand credit/debit card.

Was it skippable, did it involve at least 3 QTE’s, and one long walking section that results in a characters death from the last game?

Does anyone have a recap of the full story yet (spoilers of course)?

I haven’t been able to make it through a full Zelda since Twilight Princess

It wasn’t skippable which meant no bathroom breaks for me and it did involve long walking sections. A few QTE’s and a bit closer to the shoulder camera would’ve been all it needed to get GOTG.
