Haven't gotten a single temple yet because my switch drift is bothering me so much that it's hard to play the game. I might just buy a new switch atp because it's really hard to fix lite problems from what I've seen.
I've had fun with the few hours I've put in so far, though! I also saw a Tiktok today talking about how link and zelda are potentially canon because there's a lot of stuff alluding to the idea that they live together?? lol? actually had me giggling because I love zelink
From what I've heard and had spoiled to me, I'm not sure if I want to progress with the game. I'm nervous about the story.

v much not a link and zelda shipper but my first impression was that she straight up just stole my house 
devastated when my weapon racks weren't there anymore ..

Unlocked the whole land map today! I’m surprised I got that far considering I’ve only done the one temple…. I’m too lazy to progress the story rn, I just enjoy doing side quests and exploring the land and hitting monsters 
Also I did not play BOTW (fake fan ik) so I feel I’m missing a LOT of context for a lot of characters and stories whoops. I’m barely a TLoZ fan too since I only played Minish Cap But TOTK is SO FUN I wish I had the time to replay the older games 
I feel I’m missing so much for not having played any of the previous games.

About 75 hours in! Only have done the first temple but have done 65 shrines, found over 200 korok seeds, and completed over 50 side adventures and side quests each. Basically just enjoying my time exploring and doing something different every day

I JUST BEAT GANONDORF!!!! 
Found all 152 shrines yesterday! Really happy I was able to find them all without any kind of guide since I did the same in BOTW and found it more engaging this way. If I recall, BOTW had 120 shrines, so it was nice knowing I wasn't done after that number lol. I hope the DLC gives 8 more shrines/light blessings though bc it's annoying to know Link can't get the full 40 hearts. I remember seeing the 30 hearts and max stamina at the start of the game and thinking "Smh immersion broken, my Link only had 28 hearts" 
I agree too! I prefer the more top down zelda style games. I don't know why but I find those more fun.

"whistles" this gmae is really something else lot better than botw certainly but the gacha stuff i'm really not digging prolly cause nintendo needed to get the genshin crowd in it sadly hope to god they don't try that in any of their future games.
I recently finished the game and wanted to share my thoughts. I wasn't sure which thread I should bump but ultimately decided to post here.
TotK took me almost exactly one year and one month to finish. I had two or three major breaks from playing regularly, and in the end what let me finish the game was staying sick in bed for one week, when I played every day for hours. If not for that I would probably still need another few months.
The game itself was very impressive with how well it was made. I played on Switch and at first I had a huge issue with the lack of anti-aliasing, it made some places look simply ugly, but I got used to it. Besides that the world was quite beautiful, that's for sure, full of details, full of things to discover. Every time I played I got hooked by something I saw, followed it, and the thing I was originally doing was forgotten. Just like in real life, haha. Quoting my post from September 2024:
But the more time I played the less eager I was to launch the game. Often I started it just because I had some time to waste and I wanted to push my progress more towards the finish line. It felt like a chore. Don't get me wrong: when I was playing I had fun! I spent so much time exploring the world and doing most of the side quests. Just starting the game felt difficult sometimes. And for the last few months I felt like a prisoner of this great game that I desperately wanted to finish. It sounds weird but that's how it was.
When I got sick and was stuck in bed I decided it was time to finally get this over with. It was my chance. I was so behind with the main storyline after 120 hours that I rushed the last two Temples and all the main story after that. The story was kinda good, but kinda bad at the same time. I wasn't expecting much so I don't really have any comment here. In the end TotK took me 165+ hours and I was so relieved when I was done.
Again: the game was truly amazing, I felt it every time I played. But at the same time it felt like a chore after some point, and I never ever want to play it again. So the obvious question: was it really that amazing?... I didn't have those feelings with Breath of the Wild though, I actually assumed that I might replay it sometime in the future. Maybe TotK was just too long and had too many things to do, I'm not sure.
There is one other game I had a very similar experience with six years ago: Persona 5. It also took me more or less one year to finish, with major breaks between actively playing, and at some point I just wanted to get it over with. It was a fun game, I enjoyed it, but never again. However I need to add that with P5 I had way more issues than with TotK.
And that's it. I don't have any special conclusions or afterthoughts, I just wanted to share my story with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom. It's such an amazing game that I can't even. I'm almost 50 hours in and only completed the first Dungeon. There are just too many things to do! Every time I try to go somewhere, something else catches my attention and I end up going the other way. Great experience, almost like dealing with tasks in real life
