​

Nintendo games have the tendency to get leaked days, if not weeks, ahead from the proper release date, and as usual, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is no exception, more so given the anticipation of the sequel to the highly acclaimed Breath of the Wild, released 6 years ago.

The game seems to have been dumped today, May 1st, and shared online already in the familiar NSP and XCI formats, with many already playing it through Ryujinx and Yuzu, though how good compatibility is there with the title is not known yet, but some have cited good performance compared to Switch, which seems to still share the same shuggy gameplay and performance drops that its predecessor had as well in real hardware.

As usual, remember that we don't allow sharing links to ROM sites of any kind, so please avoid posting them.

Hey guys, this latest patch to BotW changed quite a few things. They added a new story DLC?

 

[SuperDan]

DLC, really? Why, cause the overworld has the same general map? Completely new dungeons, shrines, mechanics, enemies, weapons, characters, story, upgrades, abilities, bosses, etc ..oh, not to mention a shitload of floating islands, and an entirely new fucking layer of the world that's underground and spans the entire map. If you consider all that "DLC", what exactly do you consider an actual game? Because this game probably has more content than anything released since BoTW. The amount of new content is mind-boggling, and what's reused is very little.

And you haven't recovered from the fatigue? It's been 6 years. Maybe it's not your cup of tea, and that's fine, but calling it DLC is just absurd and insane. Literally everything is new.

I just finished the 4th shrine in totk & just hit ground level.. So i haven't seen much of the map.. But i bet its much different than the 1st game... No way Nintendo would be tbat lazy.. Not on one of the ultimate franchise games.. Still im enjoying it alot.. Working really well on my pc too im very impressed with Ryujinx atm

Anyone report if this works well on steam deck? (Ryujinx obviously)

Na, I played an hour or two, steam deck as it currently stands can only run about 10-15fps most of the time. Can hit the 20 fps max (without 30/60fps mods) only sometimes. So infrequent I didn't even bother installing the mods.

I think its very enjoyable! Im still going to buy it for my oled! I actually didn't think I'd like the building mechanics.. Bit so far its cleaver & kool

Can I fuse something that I have in my inventory to my weapon, without dropping it on the ground first?

How do I get a towing harness to pull a wagon? I need it for a quest and I already got the 1/2 off Perk for Stables.

Well spotted I mean cartridge. Still using my childish 3DSt vocabulary!

sorry buddy couldn't resist, it was too good to let it go by.

 

[guily6669]

Is there any difference between the 2 different versions out there? I'm using XCI on FW15.0.0 and it's working, but I see that the claimed eshop dump to be FW 16.0.1...

Usually eshop version require latest firmware, it is different for cartridge copy.

Yup if you have your sword and shield in hand.. You can do do both one after another... It's very easy & quik to do... Slapping a rock to the weapons is a nice touch..

Wow! The War on Gaming has really reached incredible new heights!

No way Nintendo would be tbat lazy..

They weren't. People claiming it's "dlc" cause it uses the same base game are just crazy. it has some of the same base landmarks but even those are vastly different. Theres pretty much no place you can place the camera and say "this looks the same as it did before." They kept the topology and some landmarks, and thats pretty much it. Theres always something new everywhere you go. Theres enough new stuff on the overworld alone for it to not be considered "dlc," but thats not all there is. Theres the sky island, caves, and even an entire underground area thats the same size of the overworld, all with its own bunch of content. The games got a shit ton of problems with it and if somebody doesn't like it, they have every right to, but saying its just "dlc" that took 5 years is just disingenuous.

How do you kill the gibdo queen at thunder temple
I'm struggling, mid fight she doesn't take anymore damage

This is why we don't have a demo for Tears Of The Kingdom in the E shop -_-

Yeah but I wonder if it's a updated improved version or something like that?

The game has many slowdowns and I barely played it, at least when we get to the water part portable looks pretty bad and laggy, thank god OC rocks

It wont make any difference, it is lock to 30 fps. Can't be that bad.
