The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts that have appeared, and with a certain swordsman among those missing, it’s up to Princess Zelda to save her kingdom. Team up with the mysterious fairy, Tri, and use the power of the Tri Rod to learn how to create echoes, imitations of things found in the environment. You can then recreate those echoes whenever you like to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Create echoes like water blocks to reach new heights, make bridges out of old beds, throw rocks at foes, or find your own creative combination of echoes to do things your way. You can even create echoes of monsters to fight at your side in combat! Read less

Condé is making me want to cry. This poor guy, I wish I could give him a big hug.

The Dampé questline was fun but did anyone on the dev team really think people are going to use automotons that have an upkeep cost when we can spawn endless echoes for free?

Racing mini-games (especially in games that lack decent racing mechanics) are slowly catching up to my opinion on finishing mini-games 🤢

Why can I hot swap outfits, but not accessories? Having to unequip an accessory to equip another seems like a mistake given you don’t have to do that with outfits. Perhaps a bug or QA oversight?

Speaking of accessories, the Frog Ring seems OP. It drastically changes traversal and trivializes certain challenges.

The last thing I expected in this game was mounts.

Also, why would I ever choose any outfit other than the cat outfit?

It's an action RPG where you play as a summoner. And then you stack beds lol

It's very satisfying dumping Octoroks everywhere and having them machine-gun fire into enemies. It took me a bit to figure out when to use certain enemies but I've definitely found some favorites so far in my ~5 hours of gameplay.

It's very satisfying dumping Octoroks everywhere and having them machine-gun fire into enemies. It took me a bit to figure out when to use certain enemies but I've definitely found some favorites so far in my ~5 hours of gameplay.

Also, if you need to get higher up, the answer is almost always beds. Stack some beds. Maybe even a trampoline if you're feeling frisky.

This game engine is also so comfortable, it has that dream-like aesthetic (with the blurred edges of the screen) and it makes me want to take my time and enjoy every moment of it. In fact I'm taking it much easier than the other games I've played this year just due to how cozy the whole thing feels.

Should have taken more time off or called in sick. Hard to work when all I can think of is building stairs out of beds and potted plants.

Could this be Nintendo’s best Pokémon game to-date? Sure seems that way 😉

I'm 4 dungeons deep in a story that seems 8 dungeons long. I have to say structurally this is a very conventional Zelda game. Maybe that's to ease players into a mechanically adventurous Zelda game but I don't mind it. We haven't had a new game with this structure since the eleven years old Link Between Worlds.

I'm 4 dungeons deep in a story that seems 8 dungeons long. I have to say structurally this is a very conventional Zelda game. Maybe that's to ease players into a mechanically adventurous Zelda game but I don't mind it. We haven't had a new game with this structure since the eleven years old Link Between Worlds. Honestly, the more linear and guided experience is fun and well paced so I am not really missing BotW's signature openness.

Watching your kids really get into their first Zelda game is a magical thing.

My son picked up this thing from his friends where he doesn't want to play as a girl in video games, but he's happily playing as Zelda here.

Breaking the patriarchy begins with saving Hyrule.
