I bought Zelda TotK right after release for Switch 1, just to be presented with a bright, blurry game with loading screens that I, personally, couldn't live with. I retired it after about an hour, uninstalled it from my console and sold the game on eBay.
Years later, the Switch 2 released and I was hyped. Bought it on release day and had the urge to give TotK another go. This was the start of something beautiful.
This game is an absolute blast. I wasn't as hooked since Elden Ring. The map design, the sheer possibilities, the love for detail, the way the game guides you in the right direction: it's absolutely fantastic.
This game is a master piece, and on the Switch 2, the game feels the way it should have felt on the day it released.
I can not recommend this enough.
I still feel like an incredible DLC would be the ability to traverse the new land using the old BOTW toolset. How many of the puzzles would be solvable? Would it be possible to get to the sky islands?
Maybe we could get an alt storyline where link falls into the abyss and we explore as Zelda with the sheikah slate instead.
