Still getting over this bloody cold so sorry for the slightly slower audio – have to stop sneeze a lot and then carry on haha! You probably can’t tell but I legit got a bit emotional at the end of this review haha oh dear. Man, I enjoyed this one – what do you think of it? Mark
Can't wait to get dug in.
To tell, never understood why people drool over this game. It just never captivated me. In fact, I thought it was kind of boring. I enjoy others all the games way more
3:18 Your enthusiasm is infectious! zzz… 😪
This was the first Zelda I played and beat without my big brother helping me. This is one is MINE. F you Scott!!
The greatest game since the original I wasn’t going to get the switch 2 this changed my mind 😳💯💯
2:24 I’m so glad they kept this lol
Everyone waiting for their copies…. I'm glad I chose direct download and played this one since the first minute of release
I’ve literally lost all interest in modern video gaming. But this- this looks like something else. It’s going to take me back to a better time in gaming for sure and I can’t wait to play it. Great video!
I cried.
The only reason I can’t play this is I’ve bought GTA but as soon as I can I will be. This video has made my mind up!
Got it…for my wife for her birthday (11/16). Asked her if she wanted to open it right away as her gift was "coming early." She said she could wait. So boohoo! 🥲 I can't wait to watch her and her brother relive Saturday morning video games. I believe I will start crying upon hearing the audio.
My ONLY gripe (and I preface this as coming from someone who considers your channel along with Physical Paradise to be two of the gold standards for Switch content on YouTube)…is your choice not to give the full 20 marks for visuals.
This is the most stunning visually first party game Nintendo has ever made…even setting aside personal differences on how “plasticky” Link’s face should or shouldn’t look. It dwarfs 98-99% of first party titles…with the exception of maybe Star Fox for S2, but it still rivals that title. This is in a similar vein for us Americans for Mariano Rivera going to the MLB hall of fame unanimously. The voters never wanted someone to go in unanimously and you could have made arguments for a few people…but there was a lot of public pressure to get him in with 100% of the votes and it worked.
All of that to say, the benchmark for a 20/20 shouldn’t be literal visual perfection…because no game would meet that threshold. Rather, it should be “does this game stand out head and shoulders to all of its peers?” I think the answer here is a resounding yes.
Again, I’m a huge fan, this channel is great, and it’s been my first stop for honest, thorough, and informative switch reviews for probably 4-5 years. This review was still the best out there, but I would genuinely have to ask you what game on the current landscape that would be a peer to this one (similar hardware and specs), would warrant a 20 for visuals if not this one?
Cheers mate and best wishes on fully recovering
Why is this guy talking in full stops?
It's literally perfect
I brought home my preordered physical copy today and jumped into it almost immediately. There's no other word to describe it, but breathtaking. I started playing videogames 33 years ago, I was there in 98 when it originally came out and it amazed me once again. No wonder why Nintendo dared to send it into the ring in the same month when GTA VI comes out. Ocarina of time is pure perfection, I have zero concern that GTA VI would affect Zelda's sale figures. Nothing can.
Breath of the wild just seems better
Regarding the difficulty piece. You're right, it is not difficult but its challenging. You have to try and max everything out. Thinking back at the original game, trying to get max hearts and everything else, will want you to put more hours in. I just started playing onimusha way of the sword. And it is an entertaining game, but damm its hard, ive had to take off a couple of weeks begore I get back into it. Zelda OOT doesn't do that, this game has a balance of difficulty and ease of play that us ol school casual gamers enjoy
This game got me through some of the worst times of my life. Now as an old fogie I get to experience the game in its best form ever. I bought it this morning before going to work and could not wait to get home. I've played it for about four hours now and I'm just staggered at how gorgeous it is! It looks and sounds and plays absolutely astonishingly well. Not only does it look and sound stunning but it plays brilliantly!! Link is so controllable and responsive. To be honest, I think that I'll be playing this one for the next ten years. Again. I also have Breath of the Wild but for me this is so much more pleasant to play because of the difficulty level. I have given up with BoTW several times due to being wiped out with a single hit from one of the bosses – not fun! This game is much more forgiving – and I appreciate it. This is the game of my life and I'm grateful for it 100/100
Mine is scheduled for Saturday 😊
They missed a trick not adding a randomiser! Can’t wait to get my grubby mitts on this when I have some cash!!
I have owned OoT on every platform it was released for. Never finished it on N64, GameCube, 3DS or Wii. My copy of Remastered just arrived so I look forward to not finishing it in 4K now….
I don’t know how they make it feel as magical as it did but it is! I hope you enjoy it and everyone else does too! 💚
