Currently has a May 12 2023 release date. That's just over 4 months away. That's not so far, but there isn't that much known about it.

Here's a video that has the reveal trailer and other info that has so far been released.

https://youtu.be/30DPu43_Uko

Is it unusual for such an anticipated title that's only several months away to not have much known about it?

I don't usually follow games along their pre-release stages, so perhaps a lack of info is standard.

Personally, I'd rather a lack of info when it comes to games that I plan on playing. I don't care for spoilers, or to watch every trailer that comes out.

I'd have thought there'd be more out about it though. But again, I don't usually follow along with the progress of game development.

Definitely a game I'm looking forward to though.

Thanks for posting that @bill.

Looks pretty good.

That Steam Deck one is pretty nice, kind of going with the look of the Zelda pro controller.

"We've got good news: during Clone of the Kingdom’s mass production run, an intern managed to severely botch the green ink pigmentation, producing a deep black. After taking one look at his accidental masterpiece, we immediately gave him a promotion. As a direct result of this mishap, each Clone of the Kingdom order contains an additional color option for the left Joy-Con, free of charge. As for the intern, his new job title is "Hazardous Materials Taste Tester."

Am I the only one using Amiibo? I see all the talk about farming etc, if ya got amiibo dat your farm. The Surface seems larger maybe cause it is easier to get around earlier in the game. So you can roam so much more, BUT add in the Depths and Sky overload! SO far I think the depth was the most fun exploring.

I haven't started playing yet (will do so tonight!), but my daughter has and she's been using the Amiibos. We've been going here to find out what items you can get: https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/zelda-tears-of-th...

Turns out you can get special themed fabric for your paraglider and other cool items that are related to the game that a particular Amiibo is from. You have a chance to get items like the White Sword (Skyward Sword), Twilight armor, Sheik's Mask, an Ocarina of Time equipment set, and more!

I used my faux-miibo cards today. I realized I never created cards for some of the Zelda amiibos since they didn’t unlock anything unique in BOTW. So I’ll need to do that tomorrow.

I have a Zelda Amiibo Card set works great, n Zelda Skyward Sword Amiibo one that was on sale a few months ago. I also used my Splatoon card set as non Zelda Amiibo give plenty of stuff too. Twice now been asked for stuff and if I go here I could find it, BUT I just so happen to have that item right now winking raspberry

I bought a stack of them when monster hunter rise released. The amibos were OOS and very expensive then.

I ordered a set of cards for myself of eBay. I'm not into collecting figurines but it would nice to have some of the unlocks. The full set of 26 is not much more than 1-2 amiibos.

I also ended up doing the GameStop deal, trading in two games I was able to pick up for $22 off offerup. After my $5 off reward, the total came out to a little over $17, so $39 for a physical copy is not bad.

I created my own using blank NTAG215 cards I bought a long time ago. I think I bought like 200 in bulk.

I'm so lazy I didn't even print out art for them. I just keep them in their plastic wrapper and wrote on the plastic wrapper with a Sharpie lol.

Note that I do have an almost complete amiibo collection, less some of the original Japan only Monster Hunter ones that are super expensive now.

In regards to amiibo - Some phones (like my pixel 7) can do NFC burning. I bought 25 blank NFC tags off of amazon and use my phone to burn amiibo. It's super easy and quite cheap.

I spawned in Epona last night using Twilight Princess Link, only to realize that we were on a mountain that required a ladder to get off of. So Epona is still stuck on that snowy cliffside :(

Yeah, that's what I did. I just created 4 newer ones I hadn't since I played BotW: Link's Awakening Link, Smash Bros. Young Link, TotK Link, and Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword HD

Now I have a card for each. I scanned them all yesterday and got a few unique items, including the Majora's Mask cloth for the paraglider which I'm rocking now. Almost, a lot of the weapons I got are all better that what I had, lol. Also got Sheik's Mask and a couple of the divine beast helms.

I just saw there's an update for TotK. Does anyone know if it fixes the duplication glitch?

Nice. I heard from another source that it did not fix the glitch, but I wanted to be sure!

Apparently, there's also a weapon duplication glitch:

Nah, I've been scanning my Zelda Amiibo every day I play. The best thing I think I got is the OOT Tunic. Otherwise, it's just a great way to stock up on craftables and food. yes

The Rito portion of this game so far rules hard.

I just did the Fire Temple myself, and upgraded the pad. Apparently, for the latter, you need to get Auto build (and fight Master Kohga) from the depths before Robbie will go to his lab.

I have some amiibo too but to have all those figures out verse having some printed picture cards that stack is much easier.

I used Auto build to fix his balloon. Not sure if you have to do something before that. All I did was the quest with Josha, which tells you to follow the statues.

9 Hearts and upgraded armor set. Still getting 1 shot killed by blue enemies with decent weapons. Oh bother...

A few times I've had enemies pinned with constructs only to take damage from them through the construct when I go to deliver the final few blows. I guess I need to make more offensive constructs.

Is there a bit of Elden Ring? I seem to parry more to survive, went through many more shields than BOTW 100%.

You jump off a high place and hit the "X" button to glide. Push the left stick in the direction you want to go. When your stamina is depleted (the green circle) you fall. Don't do that when you're high up, over water or over a cliff face/climbing surface.

Did you not play BotW, or have you gotten it yet?


Edit: or are you talking construct gliders (the bird looking construct)? Those need a means to move or get off the ground. Either on a cart, the tracks scattered around, or rockets/fans on sides to thrust upward to get them airborne.

@nonamesleft thought of you while reading Nintendo tips, you mentioned not getting on a boat you built quickly enough and it sailed away. (maybe plane I forget) anyway use recall. I have been quick to use ultrahand but forget to use recall in such situations.

also can use recall while on said device unlike ultrahand, didnt mean to make the glider go right use recall set a new coarse

also walk to the nose or wings to give your directions BUT a control stick is much easier if one is lying around, I have yet to get one from of the dispenser, try each I see

I have a mix of real Amiibo and the cards. While the cards are much easier, I like using my figures. The cards were given to me 5 or so years ago, so I'm just glad to finally be getting use out of them! laughing out loud

So the duping glitch is not working for me anymore. I don't believe there was a patch/update. I just built my house and unloaded a bunch of weapons, maybe it's tied to only having 2 bows, or maybe it's the area.

And speaking of building houses, this game keeps getting more like Animal Crossing, except for the killing and dying.

Oh ran into some hot garbage. Was taking on a village of black enemies. Took out half of them, and got 1 shot killed by a black moblin. They restart me outside the challenge, reset all the enemies and enemy health, and didn't give me anything back I lost during the fight. That was 30 minutes completely wasted.

Edit: During the fight I did manage to hit a rock that a moblin threw at me in the air a couple body lengths away. The arrow seemed to pierce the rock and both dropped to the ground.
