Pre-Release The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Pre-Release Discussion Thread

I love cooking! Hope it involves some timed button presses!

The Great Hylian Bake-Off quest line requires the player to complete it by making a stunning three-course meal out of inedible stuff they found on the ground, only then is the true power of the legendary Master Spatula unveiled

This reminded me of the NPC that claims to wield the Master Torch LMAO

You get a spoon AND a fork

 

[LukasManak22]

So I've thinking about the potential announcement and I guess we can write the Monday March 27th off since that's the day of Wii U/3DS eShop closing. Earliest then is probably Tuesday 28th. Or maybe even early next week.

What is the master sword if not a glorified knife anyway

Why would that matter? If anything, some good news to overshadow it lol

I played through Skyward Sword to give that knife its glory!

Gotta hold it up to the sky before cutting into that three course dinner!

As said, media coverage, altough I know that may seem laughtable and maybe Nintendo will mention it on twitter that "blabla it's gone, thank you" but I agree that they can overshadow it with good news in mere hours.

 

[Awesomegames23]

Apparently on Amazon Japan you can get TotK with an English option, the fork and spoon preorder bonus, and the 13 BotW amiibo, as one big bundle.

 

[sneaky1999]

For those who’ve seen the art book, are the contents giving GOTY vibes?

 

[Jahranimo]

Just found this in a latin american store.

and here I thought I was content with my PACMAN set........

Love how the design on the edges meets the edges of the Switch tablet itself.

March 29th seems the most fitting doesn’t it, being the one year anniversary of the Delay announcement. Or “The day that will live in infamy,”in the Zelda community as I like to refer to it.

This is honestly the perfect response lmao.

 

[NewPueblo]

A lot of the stuff in the art book isn't explained or doesn't have context to it. That being said, some of the ideas others have had about what's going on in the leaks is really freaking cool, and if they actually deliver on some of those things it'll be GOTY in my eyes.

 

[Edengamer23]

Trailer next week guys... trust me!

 

[Awesomegames23]

There’s always a trailer next week.

There’s always a trailer next week.

Be prepared to journey between the ground and the sky in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game coming to retailers May 12th, 2023.

It's the sequel to Breath of the Wild, it had GoTY vibes in my book from the word go

 

[Forkball]

Now that Bayo is out, the next Nintendo published game is the forbidden Advance Wars. I can definitely see an OLED announcement before AW is on shelves. Outside of that, I’m not sure what other news we could get in March. I think they are saving most of the marketing for mid April to early May.

 

[Dark Cloud]

A new discussion as they do their weekly countdown video to TOTK. This one has NBC and Krysta in it

This is it.

 

[Jencks]

what does it say

 

[Deleted member 2181]

DeepL:

At the "Famitsu/Dengeki Game Awards 2022" held on March 18, "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" was selected as the most anticipated new title for 2023.

Commenting on the award, Aonuma, producer of the "The Legend of Zelda" series, said, "This is a very wonderful award.

The entire development team is delighted to receive such a wonderful award! In the previous title, Breath of the Wild, players experienced a new Zelda world where they are free to go anywhere and do anything they want, and in the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, we have packed in even more new gameplay where players' freedom of imagination will change the game world. I am sure that all of you who voted for this game will be very happy with the results. I am sure that everyone who voted for this game will find it a fresh surprise, and I hope that you will enjoy the "unknown" Hyrule as much as you want to. Thank you!

As predicted, a few words of Reassurance from Aonuma have gotten me way more excited than the trailers could ever hope to.

Team concern in shambles right now

Let's fucking go Aonuma-san I'm 100% ready to let my freedom of imagination change the game world

 

[Jencks]

team concert still thriving that comment barely says anything bruh

Another chuckle when people doubt Nintendo’s Power. The cycle continues unabated.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

The game is out in less than 2 months. They're probably already printing game cards by now. There's not really any point for concern.

 

[Phendrift]

“Change the game world”

 

[Dark Cloud]

We’re going to flood Hyrule and have a Wind Waker style game for the conclusion of this trilogy

 

[Riton]

The „unknown“ Hyrule part gets me excited

 

[BY2K]

"Change the game world"
"Unknown Hyrule"

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

 

[Dark Cloud]

"Change the game world"
"Unknown Hyrule"

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

They didn’t take nearly 6 years of dev time for you to play in the same Hyrule

 

[Lozjam]

"Change the game world"
"Unknown Hyrule"

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

Probably the ethos of Breath of the Wild, is to have a creative, imaginative, and fun world.

The ethos of Tears of the Kingdom is to have a creative, imaginative, and fun player.

 

[Decoyman]

Aonuma said I would be able to climb those mountains in BOTW, and I wound up being able to climb them. I trust his word more than I trust myself.

 

[LukasManak22]

I want to see his haircut tho

 

[chocolate_supra]

I want to see his haircut tho

They're saving it for the final blowout that'll show detailed gameplay and the ZOLED, I'm sure of it.

 

[Awesomegames23]

It feels like even after reading that Aonuma acceptance speech, that Nintendo is under an NDA about this game.

They are just on the edges of their seats, waiting for Furukawa to press the "unleash the trailer" button.

 

[NabiscoFelt]

Team concern was never thriving but also yeah the comment doesn't really say anything

Maybe the "changing the game world" comment is a hint towards us being able to have a greater impact on the world but that's kinda it

 

[Linkstrikesback]

The ethos of Tears of the Kingdom is to have a creative, imaginative, and fun player.

You heard it from Aonuma first, everyone who has been salivating over the idea of a switch 2 that's just the same thing but with higher specs' is hereby banned from playing tears of the kingdom.
