I'm curious whether DLC will come or not, given the Switch reaches the end of its lifecycle (current switch models at least). Fire Emblem and Xenoblade DLCs were released very quickly, Pokémon DLC is still in the works but will be here at start of 2024 and MK Booster Pass DLC will be finalized by the end of this year.

If they would announce Zelda DLC, they won't be waiting too long to release it, unless somehow they can combine it with a Switch2 release (DLC provides upgraded graphics on new model for example)

I mean DLC for BOTW came out 3 months after release so mid August for the first wave this time around if it's something size wise to those two packs we got and the second DLC being more extra story. 

I've enjoyed the game so far both taking my time but also progressing through the main story as to not get spoiled as tiktok wasn't around back then.

Has anyone completed this game yet? This game is huge, and I feel like there’s so many more side quests than BOTW. I’ve just completed the Wind Temple, that was hella difficult.

Random thought, but the teleportation through the ceiling feels like I’m cheating all the time

You might wanna get more hearts and meals before the lightning temple then  but yeah the developers admitted in some interview that Acend was a debug feature while developing the game and they liked it so much and had fun using it that they put it in the game.

Almost 2 weeks in and I finally did my first dungeon. This game feels so stacked that I’ve just been running around and exploring

I accidentally went out of bounds today  I was in the Depths floating in a balloon and it flew past the sky box

I’ve done majority of the main storyline except fight Ganondorf, I want to do more side quests and treasure hunts before I “give” the characters their closure 🥹🥹🥹

I finished the game last night. The ending was so lame. Very underwhelming. The more I play this game the more I feel its just the ugly twin of BOTW.

I agree that the ending was a little underwhelming story-wise but it was still epic and miles ahead of BOTW in my book. The stakes were way more personal this time around, and it wasn't just "defeat that giant evil blob that's flying around the castle". Also, this is one of the most badass renditions of Ganon we've seen.

That said, unlike with BOTW I can't be bothered to finish al shrines this time around. The amount of content is completely overwhelming and I got burned out

I've already moved onto FFXVI

So I’ve finally made it to the very end through the last dungeon right before the final fight and I have like 3 hearts left because those monsters broke all my hearts and I thought at the end I was gonna  find a root so I can heal myself and save the game. Turns out there isn’t a root and I didn’t bring enough medicine to heal myself and now they seriously want me to go back up the ground to heal and then do the whole dungeon again just to lose all my hearts again??? I’m so mad right now. I’m probably gonna just watch the ending on YouTube cause there’s no way I’m doing it all over again, I’m so mad right now.

To counteract that I used an item that you can optionally unlock:

I placed a travel medallion near the end of the dungeon, so that I could warp back and forth when needed (or when I feel like doing the end boss again).

Just started playing again after a couple months.. I’ve only just discovered the depths?! There is so much to this game omg  

I have still 2 bosses left to get to the regional phenomena parts. I’m enjoying taking the game slow and just exploring as well
