Gameplaywise, It's just a plot device to replace the sheikah slate.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | New Trailer - Amiibo and Collector's Edition announced

Saw this posted on 4chan as a way to mock the game for having worse graphics than it's predecessor.
The interesting thing imo is that on the pic of TOTK you can spot a cave entrance on the right side of the mountain. Cool stuff, might be cool if they added some random caves and dungeons to make the exploration more engaging.
pd: I don't know if the comparisson is real or what, the bottom pic might be taken from an emulated version. Just wanted to point out the cave.
If you look carefully, there's a sort of flying bat in the top middle of the screen too.

Did you see Majora's Mask as an asset flip of Ocarina of Time?

In fact, it's one of my best Majora's mask games, but if we look at it coldly, it's almost an expansion of Ocarina of time.

It's a direct sequel so the samey look can be justified but IMO it does enough new stuff to see it as a stand alone game separate from Ocarina of Time to warrant it's full price. I think(hope) it will be the same with Tears of the Kingdom.

Funnily enough, here in the Benelux I still see it up for pre-order on a few big online stores. Maybe's Nintendo's producing more CE copies for Europe for TotK than they did for BotW...

The price is secondary to me, I'm more perplexed at how it took so long. It's not like they had to create the game engine and world.It's a direct sequel so the samey look can justified but IMO it does enough new stuff to see it as a stand alone game separate from Ocarina of Time to warrant it's full price.

Yeah, I noticed that the link given in this thread still had preorders open. Here in the UK:
I think we're well stocked when it comes to people who have adapted to a life on ebay as a major part of their income though. So that's great.

Would be really nice if we got caves/cave-systems spread out on the map. Climbing a mountain to find a cave you can go into and explore further would be a million times better than finding your 567th Korok-seed puzzle.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
And inside the cave there could be a puzzle that rewards you with a korok seed. Sweet.

You spelled Game of the generation wrong.

Heh, that’d be something else.
I can just imagine entering a cave with glee and then hearing a muffled “Yahaha!” echo in the distance

I'd prefer fewer caves with proper rewards instead of bazillion chests with 5 ruppees, random materials or seeds, but current times sadly are not like that, games "have" to last hundreds of hours to keep players engaged enough to recover costs and make profit...

I’m just waiting to see how fast the speed runners can smash the games mechanics to smithereens. You only get one shot at the ‘day one blind any %’ run.

Looking at the recent trailer I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ll get loads of chest containing various parts that can be used to construct the vehicles.

yeah most likely

With how similar the map is, I sure hope so.
I’d be lying if I said the recent comparison videos didn’t deflate my hype quite a bit.
I'm really worried this will be another Splatoon 3 situation, where I thought they were holding back, and then it's just a lazy game. I will still go back to Hyrule tho.

Ugggh, that sucks.
It's a shame I'm leaving Japan before the release as getting special editions is generally not too bad here.

Less shrines and proper dungeons this time please. If BotW had proper dungeons I seriously think it could be a reference game to go back to and study 20 or or even 30 years later. The worst Zelda game easily beat it in dungeons quality which is to me what Zelda is all about. Hopefully TotK change that.

You’d think with the $70 price tag they must have something really special, but then again, it’s Nintendo.
You just never know what Nintendo is going to do
I don't think TotK will be lazy, and they def revealed there's more to it than Splatoon 3 from Splatoon 2. I do think they are afraid to spoil stuff, but so far I'm looking forward to it, I'm just not excited yet.
Hope to see a city in the sky. I'm playing Minish Cap for the first time, and this game has a lot of stuff, sure not as developed maybe, but it's packed for a Zelda game.

Ah, what the hell. I ended up preordering the normal edition, 60€ with some stickers and a poster. The only good thing from the CE was the artbook, and while the leaks look nice, it definitely wasn't worth the price.

I finally got around to playing and beating breath of the wild this week. Couldn't stand the weapons breaking when I initially tried it forever ago and put it down.
After finishing it, I still couldn't stand the weapons breaking and will not buy unless there are a ton more weapons similar to the master sword at the very least that have recharge timers.
