The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Nintendo Switch) £44.99 via £5 voucher @ Amazon

It's hard to say because I hated Breath Of The Wild and enjoy Tears Of The Kingdom.

Tears Of The Kingdom just seems to get more right, allows you to do more in your own way and the map is absolutely huge.

Zelda is my favourite series of all time and I've barely cared about the story, I couldn't tell you what happens in nearly every game. Some people might say you have to play Breath Of The Wild for the story, I would just skip it and go straight to Tears Of The Kingdom. (edited)

Absolutely, I think that's the charm of it, you can just wander about and chill or, have a fight, solve a few puzzles, or follow the story line.

CDKeys usually have a years subscription for around £12 which lets you play online and play the old Nes/SNES and Gameboy games. You can get the next sub up but if it's for your daughter I'm guessing she's young and I think the extra games on there might be lost on her, they're for us old folks looking at nostalgia and she probably won't ever use them, so I recommend just the normal sub, it's more than good enough.

Yeah I was the same. Only started playing BOTW again a couple weeks a go, it's been sat on the shelf years because I couldn't get into it. After several hours it has "clicked" though and I'm enjoying it. I have to say though as someone who has played majority of Zelda games I do feel it has a little bit of an inflated praising. It's good, but the world feels empty compared to worlds like The Witcher 3 and EldenRing, so it does become repetitive just doing shrine after shrine just to level up your character. What BOTW missed was what made those other games feel more alive, and from what I've heard TOTK ticks all those boxes this time. The world feels more alive and has more interactions and dungeons (God how they are missed in BOTW) so maybe you'll enjoy this one, but I understand where you're coming from.

Yes think i just figured that out. Played botw years ago so wanted to give it a go playing this. I just don't get the love for it. (edited)

Greed

If you had weapons that did not break, the game would be too easy and not challenging, just a hack and slash. The fact the world provides you with endless amount of weapons and materials, you are bound to find the same weapon again and again. In ToTK, it takes it up a notch but fusing a weapon with another weapon or a material to increase the attack/durability, you have a lot to choose from and play around with. Say you come across an armoured enemy and a standard sword won't do any damage, you can fuse a rock/bould to that sword to do damage, just one of many ways of to crafting weapons.

You play this through in a day or 3? Which is it? Could it be 2? How many hours per day did you put into this?

Even at 3 x that you're barely making a dent in it. I've been playing it all day every day since last Tuesday and don't feel like I'm getting anywhere

Be waiting a while

I totally feel the same way about BOTW. I just couldn't get into it.

Thanks for this, completely forgot about that pickup voucher, just got it for £39.99 too! Nice one, and thanks OP for this post, I'll play it when I get around to finishing Breath of the Wild, in about a year

People playing it via emulation are doing so so that they don't have to buy a Switch or any games. No PC gamer is buying a copy, even though they don't own a Switch, so that they can legally play it emulated. Not a single person on Earth will have done that. (edited)
