    I played Zelda for just over 20 hours and quit it. I knew the game was done when the last two hours or so, I was just wandering around literally doing nothing. The shrines were good but one major negative was that some shrines were "closed" and connected to NPC's that you have to find in order to complete a quest which opens up those shrines.

    Visually and art style, game is beautiful. Music was okay. Basic Zelda that I remembered from Link to the Past. Gameplay wise was a mixed bag for me. The exploration is great but isn't for me, the rune system is excellent but the actual melee combat was flawed and not good at all. Bow and arrows were good. The small things like being too hot or cold and wearing a metal shield in a lightning storm were great little details but overall, nope.

    Add in no dungeons, no grappling hook (as far as I know anyway), a basic generic story of defeat Ganon, rescue Zelda and save Hyrule for the billionth time with a silent protagonist and limited voice acting throughout just completely turned me off. The cooking of food was okay but tedious as hell and the weapon breaking while not really a problem because you get so many weapons from enemies and whatnot, it was the lack of inventory space and how to upgrade that space which I found to be stupid.

    Also and probably the biggest factor was this - I played Zelda AFTER The Witcher III, Horizon Zero Dawn and AC Origins. Except for Geralt's horrible one handed bow, all three of these games do everything that Zelda does simply BETTER. Add in going from realistic 4K HDR visuals to Zelda's art style and cartoony look and it's simply, nope. Game is done. At best, a 7 or an 8 at most for me personally.

    The only Switch game that I have played and completed thus far is Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle. What a great 8.5/10 strategy RPG. Actually made me a fan of the genre. Not a big fan but a fan nevertheless. Right now, I have Octopath Traveler in my backlog and possibly Fire Emblem next year but that's 50/50.

    On the positive side, I'll probably get back almost all of my money when I trade in the system to GameStop in 2020 when the next gen consoles arrive because they love doing trade in deals. Until then, it's just wasting away.
    I loved Mario + Rabbids until I got to World 3. I could not get through the first boss or whatever it was.

    After several tries, I gave up.

      Nintendo Switch Online is worth if for no other reason than backing up my saves to the Cloud (in case my Switch dies) and playing Mario 3. [emoji16]

        Definitely were a couple of levels that I had to drop the difficulty to Easy.

          Just traded my nephew Zelda for Mario Odyssey! Mario is more my speed than Zelda considering I’ve NEVER played a Zelda game EVER. LOL

            Super Mario Odyssey is fantastic. You'll enjoy it.

              I’m enjoying it already. Just a fun game so far. Switching between that, Dark Souls Remastered and 2K19.

                I still have to beat Zelda but i've been out of it a while and I'm on one of the big bosses so it's tough to just hop back in.

                25 bucks is a bit high for a rando purchase for me....but I am interested in Dead Cells

                  Dead Cells does look interesting, but I have a feeling I'm not going to be very good at the game, so not sure I want to pay $25 or more to be aggravated.

                    Dead Cells does look kinda cool. I’m trying so hard with the Switch and Xbox One X to not duplicate mistakes made with the PS4. Those mistakes would be buying a bunch of games, playing them for a week or so while new and creating a backlog that I’d never burn down. Right now on Switch I have:

                    Skyrim
                    Octopath Traveler
                    Hollow Knight
                    Super Mario Odyssey (borrowed from nephew)
                    Dark Souls Remastered
                    NBA 2K19
                    Salt and Sanctuary
                    The Mummy Demastered (not installed)
                    Zelda: BotW (loaned to nephew)

                          SEGA: DREAMCAST TITLES ON NINTENDO SWITCH ONE STEP CLOSER TO REALITY

                          When SEGA Ages was first revealed, SEGA announced intentions to bring every popular game in their catalog up to Dreamcast to Nintendo Switch.

                          In a recent Famitsu interview, SEGA’s Naoki Horii said that the company is close to successfully making Dreamcast titles work on Nintendo Switch through emulation. But there’s still one question left unanswered.

                          Horii said there are two ways to go about making SEGA Ages Dreamcast titles on Nintendo Switch, either through emulation or remaking the game as they still have its source code. Both approaches are very different, but it seems the company is leaning towards using emulation for most of its Dreamcast titles, while picking the remake option for the rest.

                                Picked up my Switch last night for the first time in a long time...played some MHGU (which is awesome BTW), holy hell I forgot how much I love this system.

                                Diablo 3 this week will be my new addiction...I mean playing on my X or Pro on a big TV is great too but the Switch is just so magical.

                                Never neglecting it again lol.
