I'm picking my switch up 15 hours from now, will come straight on to confirm if account switching between regions works, which is my biggest question at this point. Godspeed ladies and gentlemen!

*Am drinking* This game, that is potentially my dream game, is releasing on my birthday and I don't even know how to cope. Combine that with GAF hype/drama and I am basically living in a fucked-up dreamworld lol. Friday is like a fairy tale right now.

I too have felt a bit as though I'm in a dream state. A crazy vivid and lucid dream. Software I've fantasized about for literal decades is upon me, and I always sort of knew it ever since I listened to Aonuma talk and reveal back in 2014. Proof that even the most engrained series that most may consider 'known quantities' (both within Nintendo and across the industry) can evolve elegantly, maintaining their core spirit, their ability to stir the soul; advancing with technology and taste, forming some new language from existing vocabulary

Do i need a tool to get the minerals?

There's a... sledgehammer? That works best for braking the mineral rocks. Alternately, use your bomb runes.
Search around defeated/broken Guardians, there's usually springs and ancient artifacts than can also be traded for rupees.

Edit: Also, kinda silly, but be sure to lift rocks when you see them. Sometimes there are rupees underneath.

More elegantly put than I put it, and accurate. I am pretty much as excited as I can be because of this damn game. It just feels like a once-in-a-generation game that also happens to be redefining a franchise that helped define gaming for me.

Talk about a combo.

The good news is that reviews will have no affect on your life, and people's reactions will have no affect on your life, as long as you don't let them. :p

WRONG!

They will have an affect on my life.

The meltdowns will help the wait for the actual game. Anything to pass the time is a good thing.

Post in the spoiler thread, you're more likely to get an informed opinion there.

Sweet lord I accidentally went in the spoiler thread but thank God the only post I saw was at the bottom. It was a mound of spoiler text about the timeline that someone kindly blacked out. Thanks, random poster!

Less than 24 hours, hype is fucking reaching insane levels. I'm a grown ass man and I've lost so much sleep this past week. Only Nintendo can do this to me.

31, married, great job, post-grad study, and I've barely been able to concentrate all day. I think I got about 3 hours sleep. Four day weekend of zelda, here I come!
