One, it has taken me years to get this account back and I am so excited to be able to post again. Two, who is still running these Hyrule streets because that game has it's hooks in me something deep!

I've put in close to 200 hours and still pick it up from time to time. I've beaten it and will likely seek out all them shrines. Great game is an understatement.
**Sig** -Blackthought is the dopest emcee alive -Uncle Sam and Santa Clause are good buddies. -Be selfless and the world will be a better place.

I had put it down for a while to get through Jedi Survivor. I went back to it, and then Thunderblight Ganon beat my ass for about a week. I finally got the Master Sword after having to grind shrines for a few days. I'm trying to find the start of the quest for the DB on the mountain without YouTube hints.

I'm lovin' it. Just trying to perfect my machines all the time. I spend so much time in the underground that I forgot there is a whole kingdom to save up there or something.

and after collecting all the shrines and light roots, I whipped a ton of full recovery plus foods and potions and gloom recovery meals and wen to take on the Demon King himself. What a great game that I now consider my all timer. O know recency bias and the like, but come on. What a great final sequence too,

I was super late to Breath of the Wild, in the way that I could appreciate it but find the hype impossible to remove from the experience.
It didn't help that not for any asinine console war reasons but simply because I loved the hell out of Horizon: Zero Dawn years before I got a Switch that I was never not thinking about how many critics and friends I looked to for thoughtful game chatter dismissed that game as "another one of those" or in any case an example of where games had been compared to where BotW implied they could go.
I said my piece on that when Elden Ring came out, to put it simply I don't think seeing a thing and doing a thing vs. a map waypoint is actually all that significant if you find yourself in the middle of a familiar activity all the same.
But I could never figure out Legos as a kid. I liked to build model cars, read Nintendo Power guides and stick carts into Game Genies and Gamesharks. Sometimes I'd big brain my way to an answer the first time around, but the way Tears of the Kingdom seemed like a dopesick love letter to the Minecraft kids left me feeling cold.
I think when I play a Zelda, I just wanna get sucked into a big fish and find out how the boomerang some weird ass jellyfish didn't want me to play with is gonna get me outta there and back to flirting with the sexy fin-handed princess.
