Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Luigi Dude:
So the game has been leaked. Anyone trying to avoid spoilers should just turn their computers off for the next 2 weeks because shits spreading like wildfire.
Not going to say anything in particular but Holy **** this game is massive. For all the people wondering why it took 6 years for this to come out, your about to find out in a really really really big way.
Seriously, **** ****, holy **** this game is going to be beyond insane.

You are hyping me up Luigi Dude. I mean for real! I've listened to the previews from a few outlets but I've barely looked at all the new footage aside from the last big trailer and the commercials recently released. These comments that I am reading just seem too dog on good.
Just Luigi Dude's comment above... Botw was already huge, I'm thinking with the sky and underground how much more are we talking? It excites me but I'm still keeping my imagination and expectations reserved.
When Wind Waker hit, that Great Sea really excited me. Finding new islands and civilizations across the huge ocean seemed like such a great new way to explore. The idea of seeing a new grand island over the horizon seemed like we were in for something special. And to a point the game is special and is held in high regard for me personally. Though it was with this game I realized Nintendo wasn't going to build a Zelda world to the scale that I expected.
There was like 3 maybe 4 islands tops that actually held lived in ecosystems and populations. Tiny islands everywhere, only one island actually felt like people really lived there and just the over all scale was so tiny it was a let down.
Twilight Princess didn't do much more for me in that regard and Skyward Sword was even worse. Loved the way the games played for the most part and always loved solving puzzles but the games were so small scale it just felt like Zelda had been left in the past.
Now after Botw it feels like the Zelda team as gotten on with the times and those WW through SS memories feel like they will be left in a far gone era.

I think I added like 20 words to my muted list on Twitter when I saw the game leaked. This includes the word "Link" which is adding other complications to my casual scrolling, but it's fine.

I have it pre-ordered thanks to the voucher program, from $100 shop cards I bought at Costco for $80. Other game I got was Advance Wars. So saved $50 from retail price. Pro tip for those worried about the $70 price tag.
I still need to beat Breath of the Wild. Not made any progress since months ago when I mentioned I wanted to try to complete as much as possible. I actually gave my game away planning to rebuy on digital during a good sale and there hasn't been a good enough sale for me...so...yeah, I'll have to cave and buy it to complete (never beat the boss once), or just watch the ending on youtube.

It’s not just good.
It’s great.
I don’t know whether or not I think it appears so good because of its nature as a sequel, but most everything that is present here feels like an improvement on BotW. The addition of caves is such a valuable element that speaks to the age old Miyamoto adage of exploring them in his youth. Hyrule does feel vastly different, and honestly, they can keep some of the changes. Death Mountain doesn’t always need to be vomiting lava.
But does it feel better because it’s an expansion of BotW’s world, or despite it? I don’t know. I haven’t explored every region of the map yet, and even the regions I have plumbed have not been thorough. There truly is so much to do, and each new region offers unexpected ideas, items, and twists. I love it.
It’s the best Zelda game ever. And yes, this time, it caters more towards fans of linear, telegraphed objectives.
