Also of note: I’d bet money BOTW was the first release on Switch 1.0 and TOTK was supposed to be the first on Switch 2.0 because on 1.0, TOTK is wheezing, frame-rate addled mess. #reTOTK

I mean, this is just me being my usual conspiracy oriented self—but it would make a lot of sense if Nintendo had planned to launch the Switch 2 earlier but selling *a ton* of new consoles during the pandemic made them decide to fees that beast for a while longer. #reTOTK

Interestingly, halfway through my re-play through of BOTW I was all “fuck yes I gotta get a Switch 2 and play all this in higher resolution!” So far, #reTOTK has been “eh, I’m fine. Maybe when the Switch 2’s library gets more robust.”

Let’s see… what else? Dragon farming/riding? Super fun! Caves? Fucking great! Pieces of armor that aren’t even upgraded and so are as weak as tissue paper as a “reward” for getting through a cave! Whaaaat the fuck, man #reTOTK

Also, having recovered my first of Zelda’s memories—Nintendo, either have your cinematics happen in chronological order no matter which one you get, or be more clever about your non-linear storytelling. I’d swear I just watched Zelda participate in a black mass if I didn’t know better. #reTOTK

Anyway, still throwing lots of hours at it but still not enjoying them nearly as much as BOTW. #reTOTK

I know I’m too much of a horsey guy but it seems like a lost opportunity to not have Kilton be like the stable keeper of the Depths so you can register Stalhorses. I don’t care if they all have the same stats; that’s not why I bond with them! #reTOTK

I haven’t checked but please tell me there’s a marijuana strain called Hyrule Herb. #reTOTK
