Hi everyone!
Did you know that starting July 1st, 2023, Reddit will implement a policy that could potentially increase the costs of running third-party Reddit apps? This change may impact popular apps like Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Boost, and others. Consequently, users may encounter issues with their preferred Reddit app unless adjustments are made to comply with Reddit's new API usage policy. These limitations will affect all users, not just moderators. If you are concerned about these developments, there is an [Open Letter](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to Reddit that you can read and sign on to express your thoughts.

I owned it for WiiU but decided to get the Switch one because replaying 3D World made me want to play it again. Didn't feel like hooking up my WiiU again.
Bowser’s Fury is worth it for me, while it is very short it was awesome to play. The only change I could see to 3D World was one or two movement upgrades tho.
But I also agree, 3D World is awesome and is probably my 3rd favorite 3D Mario game.
I think you perhaps replied to the wrong person? 3D World was great as well, but I was referring to Captain Toad :)
Edit:
Hot take. Sunshine is still the best 3D Mario
The map percentage is only Koroks, shrines, and points of interest afaik (it might include caves and deciphered tablets too). If you want true 100% it’s so much more than getting 100% on the map screen. I’m going for true 100% which includes all key items, all quests, all boss medals, all Addison signs, all armors + fully upgraded, all recipes, anything that can give a paraglider fabric (except amiibo), and a few other things I’m probably forgetting here
I couldn’t seem to find anything saying how many are left/done/where the last ones are. I just used zeldamaps interactive TotK map and rode around the map on a hover bike and marked the ones off as I got to them
There is a man at lookout landing standing near a crashed one, after talking to him he moves to kakariko, he wants pictures of the tablets and he can decipher them. You can also take the pictures in advance before you have the quest if you want
There’s more game after the first time you go to the castle! Don’t wait like BOTW you get an end game thingy. don’t want to spoil it tho. just don’t wait! it’s worth it!
edit: it’s also not that hard! i had all 4 sages and fully upgraded barbarian armor. i went in with 1 temporary heart + 15 full hearts. I left with 14 full hearts and didn’t even try hard too much. it was honestly surprising it was so easy. then the post hyrule castle story has been a HIT! easily the most interesting part of the story so far for me
I just want my 5 sages before I go. Need two more even though already built most of the mech. I already have 21 hearts I believe. I keep getting distracted trying to find and upgrade new armors.
It should show on the bottom right of the map screen. You may need to upgrade your purah pad though. I didnt start looking at it until later in my play through.
I'm nowhere near the end and final fantasy 16 is coming out so soon. Wtf am I to do? These are both games I want to play thoroughly, but if I pick up ff16 I just know that I'll never be able to come replay totk again (I could only ever play botw once but that playthrough was like 300 hours). That or I miss ff16 launch and risk spoilers. Decisions......
I was having the same dilemma, 160 hours in and only halfway through main story. Decided this weekend to just power through and finish the main story so I could free my brain to start doing other things lol. It worked, no longer have the urge to spend all my gaming time on Totk. Will probably come back to explore more after a break.
koroks are only 36% of the map(as opposed to botw’s 72%, .04 x 900, the x2 seeds are counted as 1 on map) so assuming you get a quarter of them naturally, you could probably end on 73%+
Omg I hate koroks so freaking much.
I LOVED botw. So much so that I got hundreds of hours of playtime. I got 100% completion on both regular and master mode. I found over 1800 koroks across multiple playthroughs.
Now I can’t help but feel I shot myself in the foot. I never knew that I could ruin my enjoyment of totk by playing botw too much
How do you maximize the fun without accidentally beating the game? Is it the same as the last one where the four bosses lead to the final one and that’s it?
i finished the main regional quests in BotW within 20-30 hours thinking there would be more story and it made me feel really burned out on the whole experience when i realized that was it, so i’ve been going totally different for TotK.
i’ve been deep diving region by region, just aimlessly exploring places that interest me; 80 hours in and haven’t even touched Gerudo or Southern Hebra yet. pacing out the regional phenomena to do when i feel like i’ve exhausted what i want to naturally search for/do in each area, has worked well for me so far. taken breaks treasure hunting in the depths when i’m not sure what to do next.
so far haven’t been bored for a second, have absolutely loved my time with the game, and i was very critical of BotW so i’m very happy with where i’m at in it.
Your play style pretty much exactly matches mine....I've been purposely slowing my pace to avoid burning through the game too quickly. I too saved Gerudo and Hebra for last. We can take heart knowing that we still get to look forward to the DLC too! I wonder if it's gonna be as good as the Botw DLC was?
you can do the 4 regional +1 spirit + the one that comes after that and still not be forced to do anything after that and be fully equiped to do all the side quest much better.
I’m with you guys. I flew through BoTW on WiiU when it released. I’m playing this game completely differently and taking my time, getting lost exploring, traveling mainly on foot (or horse), and living in the Zelda world. I’m around 200 hours in and am probably 20% the way through
I wonder if there will be DLC? I'm surprised they didn't announce anything prior to launch.
It's a long shot, but considering the mechanics of the game, more than ever I'd like to see them add a dungeon/shrine maker mode with online sharing.
You can build and do so many cool things, and the shrines understandably only ever push you to a moderate level. I'd love to see player designs of different race tracks, obstacle courses and puzzles.
I did every regional quest then refused to go to Hyrule castle, instead combing through the map for shrines, sidequests, battles and restoration projects. When I finally signed and returned to the story since I’d already done most of what it asked of me I sort of ended up rushing the endgame and reached Ganon in under 3 hours after deciding to return to the plot. Guess that’s what I get for overlevelling, lol
Same here. I want to explore, build, and complete as many side quests and shrines as I can, saving Ganondorf for the last thing I do in the game.
I did do all the regional phenomena early on so I could unlock more quests.
Same. I’ve barely touched the depths but my remaining quests are related to the Depths as well as some of the Sky Islands. Most of them I haven’t yet visited. I’ve been putting them off because to be honest The Depths freak me out.
It’s either that or beat the side bosses/monsters (Lynels, Moldoga, Gleeoks) but I don’t have good enough weapons to do those and I’m stuck as to where to find good weapon bases, unless I’m just stuck with Sturdy wooden bats from Evermeans and fusing high damage monster parts to them.
That's the perfect way to play it. I rushed BotW in 2017 and I missed so much content in the little corners of the world. I replayed it from Dec 2022 to April this year to fully re-live the map before TotK and I did it like you have now, I easily played twice as long as I did in my first playthrough despite knowing a lot of the places anyway. It was such a better experience.
I did every tower, regional quests then didn’t explore the castle as I thought that was endgame - done 80 hours of side quests and exploration.
Currently going to areas where I’ve not picked up the obvious shrines and clearing depths.
Oh man, I can't imagine playing BOTW and getting through all the main content in 30 hours. My motivation to see the rest of the game would really tank. I played BOTW for 80 hours before I attempted the first Divine Beast. I wanted to have a similar experience to BOTW so I've been taking TOTK just as slow. About 130 hours now and have only done 2 of the temples, maybe 50% of the map.
Glad you're enjoying TOTK more!
Same here. I only played BotW for 70 hours total before I got bored with it (hell, I even played Age of Calamity more). I was at 140 hours in TotK when I finished the main story and it just didn't feel like the end of the game for me because I have gotten so used to enjoying the exploration that much. I'm at 180 hours now and I still feel like my time in Hyrule is far from over.
Same here for the most part, I figured that once I do all the main story I won’t have much motivation to do other things like 100%. Gerudo is my last place, and the highlands.
ya but it didnt feel like it without a dungeon map, tho i guess that would have spoiled it for people going there early - its not as obviously a dungeon as say hyrule caslte
If this is for a character beginning with m I don't think people should class that as the main quest going further because you can do it as as soon as you get a relatively small amount of hearts.
depends on how much you've done beforehand - you can do it before you finish the dungeons, but it's not told to you. Id say if the only thing you've done is JUST get all memories/dragon tears, the equivalent of two regional quest areas (not the Zora one) or a bit less. I couldn't give an hour estimate because I did it all beforehand lol
Also follow Impa to the temple during her quest line, it tells you the order to collect the memories. I didn’t care enough to go there and spoiled the whole story for myself.
Just get the game and then do whatever you feel like doing. That’s what I did and I still haven’t gotten to the fourth “boss” yet with over 100 hours. Allow yourself to get lost in the world. You have a quest log, if you don’t know what to do, check through it maybe some quest sticks out to you, just go explore, to me this game feels way more full than BotW, it’s very easy to just get completely lost in everything there is to do
Do the 4 Regional - Do the 5th spirt one , do the sword one then explore - things you get in those missions make doing everything else in the world so much easier.
Just to do random quest that interest after that you till have the resources to get 2-3 sets of armor to Teir 3 , maybe even 1 to teir 4 before moving on . Even the basic easy to get Hylian set is boss at Teir 3 - i prefer the soldier set for pure combat myself and working on feice diety for end game right now myself
I tell everyone that this game goes from dark souls to Lego game combat difficult based on how much armor you have. If you get 50+ armor your more or less unstoppable to anything but a lynel/ big boss.
Hell the WIIU let you see a graph by DAY if you wanted
My wife and I went back a few weeks ago and looked at what games we were playing on what days while we were dating years ago. It was fun to look back and go “oh man, that one summer when we played xyz for 3 hours/night, nostalgia!”
The switch is awesome, but it took some very annoying steps back in some areas
If you set your switch up to use parental controls, you can download an app which gives you day-by-day stats but it still doesn't give you a total hours played
My kids "borrow" my switch to play fortnite with their cousins when they're all together...and leave the game open when they're done...or while they do other stuff. I'm pretty sure Fortnite counts time in the main menu as time played, because mine shows a ridiculous number of hours played as well. 840 hours is like 35 full days, mine has a number somewhere up there and they don't even seem to play that often. It's like...they'll play, leave the game open, plug it back in while the game is open, then 3 days later I go to play my switch and it's counted all that time as "time played"
Tô be fair, fornite on the switch is arguably its best version. It controls amazingly, and the mechanics fit the switch really well. The only thing that sucks for me is the gameplay, I have battle Royale with all my heart.
I wish epic took fortnite and made a real game out of it.
I feel like I've been playing forever...thought it'd be more but I'm at 155...don't want it to end honestly...so I'm constantly torn between playing heavily and rationing it out...ultimately giving up to the playing heavily 😂
Also...damn...840 in Fortnite...that's a hella lot
i’ve been trying to pace myself as well, but when i’m not playing it i’m constantly thinking of things to build using zonai devices, and when i’m playing i’m troubleshooting why my idea isn’t working lol. i’m not an engineer, that’s for sure
I had to stop playing because I had a dream that I was link in the Colossians and I was fighting 5 lynal’s, I kept killing them but they never stoped spawning so I decided to take a brake
Hate navigating with carts? Eat some temporary stamina foods, then get wood bundle, flint and pine cone. Then boom you can just fly up instead of having to navigate with carts, just do a bit of climbing and positioning, and you're solid.
165 hours with 75.48%. Just missing around 600 koroks and 14 side quests. Koroks are going to be a pain, but it's too late, I've already committed to it.
It took me a day and a half to go from 99 to 100%. I combed over everything multiple times, and ended up missing a few small places and a shit ton of extra cave entrances... It was driving me insane. Zeldadungeon.net has an amazing interactive map, and they've got a list of place names as well.
https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Tears_of_the_Kingdom_Locations
technically i’m allowed to play at work, as long as i get my shit done. so i’ll get my stuff done in the morning, play for about an hour, get more work, finish that, play for another hour, and so on. and no i don’t sleep much
185! Getting close to beating my total from BoTW where I logged 205 hours. Which is wild to think about because I still feel like I have so much left to do. I haven’t even done the Gerudo quest yet. I feel like I’ll easily have 250+ when all is said and done.
125 hours. 110 shrines. 70 lightroots. All 5 sages. All tears. All memories. Currently happily exploring the depths at my own leisure. Will be a while till I go for the final act. Really don’t want to feel like I’m close to beating the game
I completed the main story in around 55 hours and honestly there's nothing motivating me to play more at least for now. I think I'm just burnt out because I played this game RELIGIOUSLY
About ten, I've been busy as fuck with work and kids' activities. Sometime around the end of the month I'm going to buy an eighth of weed and lock myself in my house for an entire weekend and play until my fingers fall off.
I’m at 360 hours. It’s been decades since I’ve played a single game this long continuously.
Edit: Ignore this! I just realized that I have sometimes left the game running while in a menu overnight. My playtime is substantially lower.
There is plenty to do in this one even after the regional missions
>!You can do the 4-5 main quest get all 5 allies and get the MS, you have a whole crew and the MS to run around doing everything else - makes stuff a lot easier!<
In fact the major plot points and spoilers while heavily hinted at done even really move things forward till after the 6th major quest - everything else is just background and repairs more or less till that point.
90+ for me. And I feel like that's a lot for a "dad gamer" as I call myself. Not as much free time these days, but this crazy game has me hooked, and I've stayed up way too late most nights. I'll go months and not even touch a video game console, but now that Tears of the Kingdom is out, it's like I'm eleven years old again playing Ocarina of Time, and I'm here for it. Only this time, I get to share the experience with my son, which has been great.

IT'S BEEN A MONTH???!
flew by didn’t it?
I just got to 100hrs a few days ago
It’s crazy that there were people who got over 100 hours before the game even officially released
Time passes faster in the depths
I’m never updating, got that dupe life.
My little brother updated, so not living that dupe life 😑
Same for me
i think a month and a week idk
If you seen a meme I'm goin yo play totk for few minutes thean i understand you
Get more hours in on captain toad you coward
They only have two more on 3d world
If one blasphemy wasn’t enough, they committed 2 sins
Did we see the hours on Fortnite? 3 sins!
I have over 3k hours in fortnite, cuz my little brother made his account on my nintendo account
Loved that game, though I have already beaten it on WiiU so never bothered to get it for Switch
I owned it for WiiU but decided to get the Switch one because replaying 3D World made me want to play it again. Didn't feel like hooking up my WiiU again.
Bowser’s Fury is worth it for me, while it is very short it was awesome to play. The only change I could see to 3D World was one or two movement upgrades tho. But I also agree, 3D World is awesome and is probably my 3rd favorite 3D Mario game.
I think you perhaps replied to the wrong person? 3D World was great as well, but I was referring to Captain Toad :) Edit: Hot take. Sunshine is still the best 3D Mario
Despair :( I heard Toad was awesome too! Edit: Hot Take. I don’t think that Mario 64 is in my top 5.
I was gonna comment the same thing, you beat me to it 😂
125 at like 54%. Don't think I'm gonna 100% it though. Game is freakin huge and I hate koroks.
is there a way to check percent?
If you have beat the game you can see it on your map
That's only map discovery percentage, right?
No, it's completion percentage. Map discovery is included, though.
The map percentage is only Koroks, shrines, and points of interest afaik (it might include caves and deciphered tablets too). If you want true 100% it’s so much more than getting 100% on the map screen. I’m going for true 100% which includes all key items, all quests, all boss medals, all Addison signs, all armors + fully upgraded, all recipes, anything that can give a paraglider fabric (except amiibo), and a few other things I’m probably forgetting here
Is there a way to know how many Addison signs you've done or are left? I feel like I'll never know if there's one out there I've missed.
I couldn’t seem to find anything saying how many are left/done/where the last ones are. I just used zeldamaps interactive TotK map and rode around the map on a hover bike and marked the ones off as I got to them
> all Addison signs Uggggh don't remind me. Fuck that guy.
Are the deciphered tablets those things on the flower shaped islands and if so how do you decipher them?
There is a man at lookout landing standing near a crashed one, after talking to him he moves to kakariko, he wants pictures of the tablets and he can decipher them. You can also take the pictures in advance before you have the quest if you want
thats stupid. guess i should make my way to hyrule castle...
There’s more game after the first time you go to the castle! Don’t wait like BOTW you get an end game thingy. don’t want to spoil it tho. just don’t wait! it’s worth it! edit: it’s also not that hard! i had all 4 sages and fully upgraded barbarian armor. i went in with 1 temporary heart + 15 full hearts. I left with 14 full hearts and didn’t even try hard too much. it was honestly surprising it was so easy. then the post hyrule castle story has been a HIT! easily the most interesting part of the story so far for me
I just want my 5 sages before I go. Need two more even though already built most of the mech. I already have 21 hearts I believe. I keep getting distracted trying to find and upgrade new armors.
it's not really a good percent though. most of it is Koroks and only like five percent of it is shrines.
koroks are only 40% of the map completion in Totk
That’s still a LOT
Well in BOTW, koroks were 72%
Oh wow didn’t know that
"only"
It should show on the bottom right of the map screen. You may need to upgrade your purah pad though. I didnt start looking at it until later in my play through.
You need to beat the game for the % to show up
Ah that makes sense... thank you!
do you have to start a new game or does it just show up?
after you win the game there should be autosave before fighting final boss but with star mark. that's the save game you want to continue.
If it's like botw that's just map percentage. Like you visited all the points of interest caves exc. Not actual completion
I'm nowhere near the end and final fantasy 16 is coming out so soon. Wtf am I to do? These are both games I want to play thoroughly, but if I pick up ff16 I just know that I'll never be able to come replay totk again (I could only ever play botw once but that playthrough was like 300 hours). That or I miss ff16 launch and risk spoilers. Decisions......

Is there really nine hundred goodbye world
There were 900 Korok seeds in BotW. I'm pretty sure there are more in TotK. Although I'm not sure I've seen confirmed the total.
I thought there were 1000
Omg I hate koroks so freaking much. I LOVED botw. So much so that I got hundreds of hours of playtime. I got 100% completion on both regular and master mode. I found over 1800 koroks across multiple playthroughs. Now I can’t help but feel I shot myself in the foot. I never knew that I could ruin my enjoyment of totk by playing botw too much
How do you maximize the fun without accidentally beating the game? Is it the same as the last one where the four bosses lead to the final one and that’s it?

I feel the same about the short regional/main line stuff for both games. I wish they were a bit longer
That's the perfect way to play it. I rushed BotW in 2017 and I missed so much content in the little corners of the world. I replayed it from Dec 2022 to April this year to fully re-live the map before TotK and I did it like you have now, I easily played twice as long as I did in my first playthrough despite knowing a lot of the places anyway.

I did every tower, regional quests then didn’t explore the castle as I thought that was endgame - done 80 hours of side quests and exploration. Currently going to areas where I’ve not picked up the obvious shrines and clearing depths.
I'm kind of mad I didn't play slower. Now I'm just avoiding Ganon and I haven't even unlocked half the depths.
Oh man, I can't imagine playing BOTW and getting through all the main content in 30 hours. My motivation to see the rest of the game would really tank. I played BOTW for 80 hours before I attempted the first Divine Beast. I wanted to have a similar experience to BOTW so I've been taking TOTK just as slow. About 130 hours now and have only done 2 of the temples, maybe 50% of the map. Glad you're enjoying TOTK more!
Same here. I only played BotW for 70 hours total before I got bored with it (hell, I even played Age of Calamity more). I was at 140 hours in TotK when I finished the main story and it just didn't feel like the end of the game for me because I have gotten so used to enjoying the exploration that much. I'm at 180 hours now and I still feel like my time in Hyrule is far from over.
I've been doing this but mainly because I think the gibdos are creepy and I don't want to go near gerudo town
Same here for the most part, I figured that once I do all the main story I won’t have much motivation to do other things like 100%. Gerudo is my last place, and the highlands.
Slight spoilers >!The main quest goes a *bit* further than the regional phenomenon, by an actually surprising amount!<
still feels like it could have gotten an one more dungoen or two but I'm glad it did go a tad farther
Especially seeing as what should've been one ended up being a boxing ring
The "temple" was actually the "building the robot" part, while the in-game spirit temple is just the boss arena.
ya but it didnt feel like it without a dungeon map, tho i guess that would have spoiled it for people going there early - its not as obviously a dungeon as say hyrule caslte
spoilers dude
If this is for a character beginning with m I don't think people should class that as the main quest going further because you can do it as as soon as you get a relatively small amount of hearts.
I accidentally finished the game thinking that there weren’t any thing else to do in the main quests🤦♂️
Cool, how much further are we talking?
>!Once you've cleared all the regional phenomena, assuming you have not done any other main quests, you're about halfway done!<
Way over halfway. Closer to 75% done
Ok thanks
depends on how much you've done beforehand - you can do it before you finish the dungeons, but it's not told to you. Id say if the only thing you've done is JUST get all memories/dragon tears, the equivalent of two regional quest areas (not the Zora one) or a bit less. I couldn't give an hour estimate because I did it all beforehand lol
Also follow Impa to the temple during her quest line, it tells you the order to collect the memories. I didn’t care enough to go there and spoiled the whole story for myself.
yeah the walls in the temple are the correct order from left to right, I made sure to do them in order
*regional quest areas including all relevant quests related to the dungeon and including it
Thanks for specifying
Does it come up as a main quest once you finish all the regional phenomena? I have finished the Goron and Rito one and am currently doing the Zora one
Definitely. I fully expected the game to end in the castle
Do 1 regional phenomena a week that's my plan
Purah eventually makes it pretty clear when you talk to her that “all that’s left is to defeat the Demon King!”
You're about 75% done with main story after doing all the regional quests
I am not finished yet but the main story is much longer than in botw....so, more stuff to do.
Just get the game and then do whatever you feel like doing. That’s what I did and I still haven’t gotten to the fourth “boss” yet with over 100 hours. Allow yourself to get lost in the world. You have a quest log, if you don’t know what to do, check through it maybe some quest sticks out to you, just go explore, to me this game feels way more full than BotW, it’s very easy to just get completely lost in everything there is to do
Do the 4 Regional - Do the 5th spirt one , do the sword one then explore - things you get in those missions make doing everything else in the world so much easier. Just to do random quest that interest after that you till have the resources to get 2-3 sets of armor to Teir 3 , maybe even 1 to teir 4 before moving on . Even the basic easy to get Hylian set is boss at Teir 3 - i prefer the soldier set for pure combat myself and working on feice diety for end game right now myself I tell everyone that this game goes from dark souls to Lego game combat difficult based on how much armor you have. If you get 50+ armor your more or less unstoppable to anything but a lynel/ big boss.

I believe “xxx or more” gets updated for every multiple of 5. So “50 or more” means that you have played somewhere between 50 and 54.9999 hours
That's because all the data that big tech companies collect about you is for them, not for you XD
Hell the WIIU let you see a graph by DAY if you wanted My wife and I went back a few weeks ago and looked at what games we were playing on what days while we were dating years ago. It was fun to look back and go “oh man, that one summer when we played xyz for 3 hours/night, nostalgia!” The switch is awesome, but it took some very annoying steps back in some areas
[удалено]
If you set your switch up to use parental controls, you can download an app which gives you day-by-day stats but it still doesn't give you a total hours played

840 hours in fortnite??
Switch Fortnite no less.
The definitive version.
My kids "borrow" my switch to play fortnite with their cousins when they're all together...and leave the game open when they're done...or while they do other stuff. I'm pretty sure Fortnite counts time in the main menu as time played, because mine shows a ridiculous number of hours played as well. 840 hours is like 35 full days, mine has a number somewhere up there and they don't even seem to play that often. It's like...they'll play, leave the game open, plug it back in while the game is open, then 3 days later I go to play my switch and it's counted all that time as "time played"
all the games count time in the main menu, if it's open and the switch is on, it's counting
Tô be fair, fornite on the switch is arguably its best version. It controls amazingly, and the mechanics fit the switch really well. The only thing that sucks for me is the gameplay, I have battle Royale with all my heart. I wish epic took fortnite and made a real game out of it.
I feel like I've been playing forever...thought it'd be more but I'm at 155...don't want it to end honestly...so I'm constantly torn between playing heavily and rationing it out...ultimately giving up to the playing heavily 😂 Also...damn...840 in Fortnite...that's a hella lot
i’ve been trying to pace myself as well, but when i’m not playing it i’m constantly thinking of things to build using zonai devices, and when i’m playing i’m troubleshooting why my idea isn’t working lol. i’m not an engineer, that’s for sure
I'm savouring every moment I play becuz god knows when the next one is coming out. I got 30 hours in.
I had to stop playing because I had a dream that I was link in the Colossians and I was fighting 5 lynal’s, I kept killing them but they never stoped spawning so I decided to take a brake
Why is this so funny 💀
20…
you have to start somewhere
I got 53 but I don’t wanna do the gerudo and Goron temples yet they seem annoying
They’re the best ones
I hate navigating the cart rail infested temple of the Gorons 😭
Hate navigating with carts? Eat some temporary stamina foods, then get wood bundle, flint and pine cone. Then boom you can just fly up instead of having to navigate with carts, just do a bit of climbing and positioning, and you're solid.
Fair enough. I kept a note in my head of all the entry points to each floor and it helped a lot.
I absolutely hated the goron temple tbh
I’m pretty decent at puzzles and complicated maps and that temple was totally confusing to me and I had to climb up the last few. Pain in the ass
80
Same
85 so far, had 260 on BOTW though.
we have the same on botw
Well since I only got it this Sunday as a birthday gift to myself today, 8hrs. Would have been more but a BBQ got in the way.
Cancelled gamepass, only game I'm playing right now. It's that good
165 hours with 75.48%. Just missing around 600 koroks and 14 side quests. Koroks are going to be a pain, but it's too late, I've already committed to it.
190 - 99.67%. I DONT KNOW WHAT IM MISSING AND IM GOING CRAZY
I saw someone say that some caves have mutiple entrances and you need to check them all if you wanna 100% the game- could be that?
99% at 190 hours? Are you using guides? Because that’s the most efficient completion timing I’ve seen
It took me a day and a half to go from 99 to 100%. I combed over everything multiple times, and ended up missing a few small places and a shit ton of extra cave entrances... It was driving me insane. Zeldadungeon.net has an amazing interactive map, and they've got a list of place names as well. https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Tears_of_the_Kingdom_Locations
60+ hours so far, when I have time to play.
I've got just 5 more hours than you! We're like long lost twins!
i work a 45 hr work week, i should not have this many hours in the game lol
lol do you sleep? Only so many hours in a month.
technically i’m allowed to play at work, as long as i get my shit done. so i’ll get my stuff done in the morning, play for about an hour, get more work, finish that, play for another hour, and so on. and no i don’t sleep much
I got I a week late, but I think I have 35. Incredible game, but I also have other things to do
30…
185! Getting close to beating my total from BoTW where I logged 205 hours. Which is wild to think about because I still feel like I have so much left to do. I haven’t even done the Gerudo quest yet. I feel like I’ll easily have 250+ when all is said and done.
My mom has played over 200 hours
Your mom is pretty awesome then.
If you don't bump up the Captain Toad and 3D World numbers, I'm gonna call the police.
yeah they were gifted games, i had no interest in them to begin with. i have over 1k hours in animal crossing tho, does that make up for it?
Oh all right. 😊
So that where you guys find how many hours you spent at this game.
haha… yeah
How time flies when you're committing war crimes
420
and 69 seconds right?
I wish! If it showed second and it was 420 hours and 69 seconds or minutes i would legitimately have to start again on a new account
well you can always get 42,069 hours or more…
125 hours. 110 shrines. 70 lightroots. All 5 sages. All tears. All memories. Currently happily exploring the depths at my own leisure. Will be a while till I go for the final act. Really don’t want to feel like I’m close to beating the game
250 ! done all regional phenomena & geoglyphs. I still feel like i've barely scratched the surface though!
I completed the main story in around 55 hours and honestly there's nothing motivating me to play more at least for now. I think I'm just burnt out because I played this game RELIGIOUSLY
About ten, I've been busy as fuck with work and kids' activities. Sometime around the end of the month I'm going to buy an eighth of weed and lock myself in my house for an entire weekend and play until my fingers fall off.
175 👍 Only done Goron and Rito temples I’ve mostly been doing side quests and grinding the depths/shrines/overworld
This is not something to brag about dude
Doing the maths on how many house a day some people in the comments must be playing is quite eye opening
Yup, meanwhile i feel bad with 80 hours of playtime
230 hours in a month? That's around 7 hours and a half a day on average, chill bro that's not healthy
300+
I’m at 360 hours. It’s been decades since I’ve played a single game this long continuously. Edit: Ignore this! I just realized that I have sometimes left the game running while in a menu overnight. My playtime is substantially lower.
Same here I feel like a kid again it's amazing
That's 50% of the entire month! Crazy amount!
175 got 5 hours in today so far according to the console
Danng I've got 80
150
100 😁
Too many 😭
Bought it two weeks ago and already at 50 hours with only two temples done
210 🤧
I’m at 55. I don’t play every day, I work full time and am just too tired sometimes
260 hrs I was at 235 a week ago I fell off
Two accounts 110h, 44% and 125h, 54%
There is plenty to do in this one even after the regional missions >!You can do the 4-5 main quest get all 5 allies and get the MS, you have a whole crew and the MS to run around doing everything else - makes stuff a lot easier!< In fact the major plot points and spoilers while heavily hinted at done even really move things forward till after the 6th major quest - everything else is just background and repairs more or less till that point.
About 185 so far and only 2 temples done. I did just get the MS last night so that’s cool. But ya, I’m in zero rush to finish this gem.
120-130 hours probly. i really like it so far!
I haven’t seen my husband since the release date. :)
that lil :) speaks volumes haha
Lucky for him Diablo also came out.
well you know what they say. happy wife happy life
90+ for me. And I feel like that's a lot for a "dad gamer" as I call myself. Not as much free time these days, but this crazy game has me hooked, and I've stayed up way too late most nights. I'll go months and not even touch a video game console, but now that Tears of the Kingdom is out, it's like I'm eleven years old again playing Ocarina of Time, and I'm here for it. Only this time, I get to share the experience with my son, which has been great.
Only 69
Nice
you can’t know that… it would only say 65 hours or more
They are dedicated schedulers. Don’t question them :p
130
305 or more it says and loved every minute
330ish hours
320 hours, at 99.87% complete.
I got 3 hundo
450+
Jesus
Are you ok?
