I love the standard blue and red switch as much as the next guy but can we just appreciate the amount of effort that went into the totk switch?

look how pretty this thing is... especially the dock, and the joycons have plot-important runes on the backs as well as the zonai patterns, colours and the texture on the back of the switch itself, just 👌🏼 beautiful, good job Nintendo.

Very good special edition.

I think game studios should just release their character creators online. For the times when I don’t wanna play the whole game, just the lil dress up part

wait, what game is this

[werewolf-cuddles]

Here, have a mirror of the final Nightly build of Citra (March 3rd 2024), and the most recent build of Yuzu I could find via the Wayback Machine. (February 28th 2024)

EDIT: On April 27th 2024, Uncle Wario was assassinated by the Nintendo Ninjas. The Yuzu and Citra mirrors will be reuploaded elsewhere soon.

Title: Pit Stop: Revised

Fandom: Legend of Zelda

Based on my last painting: Pit Stop. I felt like I spent all this time on Link’s prosthetics…only to over render the picture so you can’t see the details…

one of the most annoying things i have with totk and the sages/vow powers is that when youre in battle and you have to run to around wasting time trying to find that character because theyre also running around?! all so you can hit a for “lets go!” like fuck my life; nintendo really took the least effective way to activate the new champions powers compared to how they activated in botw and just greenlit that? my.god.

Breath of the Wild: "Link, climb these mysterious towers to get a better view of the surrounding lands."

Tears of the Kingdom: "Link, we're gonna fire you out of this cannon like the god damn Apollo space shuttle, try and get a couple pictures before you pass out."

[prokopetz]

I've basically come to the conclusion that Tears of the Kingdom is a hugely impressive piece of technical work that's held back at every turn by the fact that it's a Breath of the Wild sequel. You can see the clear outlines of the game it's trying to be, but in order to actually engage with that game you constantly have to dig through this heavy cruft of mechanics that worked great in the context of Breath of the Wild, but have mutated into annoying distractions in the context of Tears of the Kingdom. Ironically, for all the complaints about TotK playing fast and loose with BotW's narrative, from a mechanical standpoint its problem is that it's too faithful to its predecessor.
