A little late to the game here since I just got a Switch a few months ago (see post from October above). So far my games played have been:

- Link's Awakening: Only major Zelda game I hadn't played yet. Thought it was solid, but nothing special. For $60 I think they should have added something else. If they wanted to keep it like the original with nothing new except the graphics, then make it a freaking $19.99 game. I assume the bulk of the hard work for Zelda is creating the actual world and dungeons and story, for which they had to do nothing for this one. Would rather play Minish Cap or Link Between Worlds. 7/10

- Mario Odysee: I may be alone here but I'm pretty disappointed with this. I absolutely love Mario games, but I just didn't like this that much. I'm not into open world Mario, Mario 64 is one of my least favorite games. I just got bored wanderng around trying to find more and more moons. I got about 300 moons and quit. My two favorite Marios are Galaxy 2 and 3D World... I love tight and creative platforming level design that those games have, not the wandering around big open areas. 6/10

- Celeste: fuking amazing game, definitely in my top 5 platforming games of all time, maybe close to the top (along with Galaxy 2, 3D World, and Rayman Legends). Interesting story, but the gameplay is just top notch, incredibly challenging but doable at the same time. 10/10

- Hollow Knight: currently about 20 or so hours in, still playing every night. Almost gave up an hour in as the begining is painfully slow and confusing, but once it gets going you just can't put it down. Every day I'm itching to start it back up and keep exploring the amazing world and playing the really satisfying combat. So far 9/10

Just trying to fill the time until Tears of the Kingdom comes out.

Being that Link's Awakening is a first-party release, Nintendo would never sell it at $19.99. I get what you're saying though. Personally, it was worth $50 for me. Being that there was such a long time since the original GB release of the game, it's not like it was a 'copy paste' type of situation with Link's Awakening.

Is it weird that I didn't really like BOTW and could only get a couple hours into it? I much prefer a more linear game like Link's Awakening or even all of the other Zelda games.

nope, have the same feeling and there are a lot of likeminded brahs

I did force myself to finish the game, even did all the shrines

but I don't look back at it fondly...

gonna get the 2nd one just because it's a Zelda and I've always gotten the new one for over 25 years but it's against better judgement lmfao

I wish they'd return to the N64-GC formula

Embrace the future of Zelda bro.

It's what the creator of Zelda always wanted, Zelda OOT isn't a real Zelda but a compromise because tech wasn't there yet.

not gonna embrace it brah, if the second one leaves me with the same feeling I guess I'm done with Zelda

actually srs and I've gotten them all since Link's Awakening

Sad bro.

What games you going to buy now? You're coming to the dark side and join the PS brotherhood?

Anyone use motion control on the joy cons?

Apparently I can bluetooth my Playstation controller to the Switch.

agreed, don't even see why the asking price isn't fair since they did competely remake the entire game, albeit that the structure was already existing

it's not comparable with these "next-gen updates" that only boost the framerate and textures

There was nothing creatively new in this game. Anyone who knows software could have done it, it took nothing from Nintendo's creative team which is what I normally love about Nintendo.

Playing Breath of the Wild, I’d rather it be linear with them telling me where to go vs trying to figure it on my own and getting my cheeks clapped by random mobs.

Years ago i bought a Wii U just to play this game, and i agree with you. Zelda is my favorite games and i thought this was boring. The shrines were creative but i prefer a more linear with actual Dungeons and a real story. It was just a big ass bland open world. That being said i'll still play the second one, and hope they made improvements from the first.

I've been thinking about buying a Nintendo Switch. I'd like to finally be able to play Skyward Sword. I'd also get luigis mansion, odyssey and some others too.
