    Those gold joycons are gonna look rough after even light wear, it doesn’t take many hours of gaming before it starts to look shiny around the buttons on normal coloured joycons. Metallic colours tend to show all scratches and scuffs a lot more. Will def need protectors of some sort that fully encases the joycon shells.

      Enjoyed the look at the game, I can imagine a lot of time just faffing around having fun with it.

        Cant wait to get stuck back in and just explore again, New Zelda games will always be a day one purchase for me, it looks great, and I really want that oled zelda switch but cant justify a third switch

            So we waited this long and it's a Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts reskin.

              I think for me a lot will rest on the ratio of the new elements and sky areas versus Hyrule. It looks interesting in part and just as I start to lean in a little it veers incredibly hard toward looking like exactly the same game. I understand their reluctance to break away like they usually do but I'd have preferred this to look more distinct from BOTW than it does. Given the series past I'm happy to let the game lead me but it doesn't really seem to sell me on why it took so long, hopefully they are holding back a vast amount of changes and better world/dungeons than BOTW had.

                  They could have an unimaginable amount of combinations worked out. Its so cool to be able to use monster parts as weapons and see what happens. It will also allow players to cheese past stubborn enemies if they'd like, too. That actually seems to be part of the design.

                  The ceiling skill has the potential to absolutely break the game too. That is a crazy mechanic.

                    I didn't get on with BotW much at all.

                    I'm all for change but give me some proper dungeons to explore!!

                      I was like that at first, then something clicked, I don’t know what, and suddenly I couldn’t put it down, pretty amazing game. However, even the first was in desperate need of better hardware, this new is going to tare the Switch a new bum bum.

                        Not to be all Neon about it, but the whole "Zelda sequel needs new hardware" angle is starting to become tiresome. That just isn't the case at all.

                        I'm not saying the Switch (or even the WiiU) could handle BotW optimally at all times, but it was enough. Nintendo's focus on efficient gfx and artwork ensured that it was enough. It'll be the same here given that it pretty much uses the exact same engine as its predecessor.

                        That said, It's probably fair to assume that TotK might well get a port on the new hardware whenever that drops.

                          It was fine 99.999% of the time. It still looks staggering when particular lighting and weather effects pair up.

                          At least they can focus solely on the Switch hardware this time.

                            We weren’t going to watch the video, but couldn’t resist. Fusing stuff together should be lots of fun.

                            I’m also a bit gutted that the leaked OLED Switch turned out to be real. I’d be up for one of those but there isn’t a way to buy from Nintendo here. Was hoping for a new Pro Controller to compensate.

                              If anything it’s only really been a valid argument on BotW & TotK. I can’t imagine another zelda that ever needed more powerful hardware when it came out. I mean OoT may seem dated now (not artistically) but at the time it was a technical marvel it ran at all.

                              That said, TotK isn’t out yet, and Nintendo doesn’t need to worry about a release date (not really) or other hardware, so they may be able to squeeze more out the Switch.

                                I'm actually of the view that outside of some areas I'd be surprised if TotK didn't run better than BOTW. BOTW was a ported WiiU game and whilst it has a very noticable art style it's a very empty and simplistic game. The Switch should be more than capable of the games visuals and I'd hope that the development having been with the Switch primarily in mind this time and 6yrs dev time would lead to a better performing experience.
