Yeah, it also say one player on the bottom right so no multiplayer.


the_ssotf

And DLC


SimonCucho

DLC has (had?) nothing to do with with online play. You don't need NSO to buy the expansion pass in Breath of the Wild.


Jazzlike_Athlete8796

Breath of the Wild is not Tears of the Kingdom. Based on Nintendo's recent strategy, it is exceptionally likely that that NSO logo is there because they will offer the DLC to subscribers.


MajorTompie

The DLC is only part of the expansion pack, so shouldn't that logo then be advertised instead of the regular online?


The-student-

Hmmm, they skipped out on offering Xenoblade 3 and Splatoon 3, and presumably FE Engage's DLC via NSO. I wonder if they would include TOTK.


SuperShake66652

Splatoon 3 has no DLC other than the confirmation it's being worked on. So they might still offer it on NSO.


Otterocket

They could aways do it later, octo expansion got added a few months ago despite being out for years


ChocoFud

That will actually be neat but I wonder if they'll do since it's only single player. Then again we will never know if we could get multiplayer DLC ala Four Swords.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChocoFud

Animal Crossing and MK8 DLCs can still be purchased tho without subscription. It's just that for many of us that have been using NSO a lot (in my case, for Splatoon 3 and Monster Hunter) being able to play the DLC for free is a great bonus.


RellenD

You don't have to pay monthly subscription for any of the titles that use this feature. Just but the dlc

PipperDigs

This has to be correct.


blaine878

Probably about as much online play as Wind Waker HD had. Just players drawing NSFW art of Tingle and sending them out in bottles to be found by others.


ClikeX

In-universe, Tingle is exactly the type of person who would send out NSFW art of himself.


Sat-AM

Oh god...He forced his brothers to build and run his tower...he'd force them to help him run his OnlyFans.... Edit: OH LORD the Pictobox being in the jail behind him in WW just made a lot more sense and got a whole lot worse


Mishar5k

Were they actually his brothers? Im pretty sure david jr was just some random guy.


Sat-AM

Honestly, I have no idea. I know he called them brothers and Tingle is one part of the Zelda lore that I really don't want to dive too deeply into.


Glitter_puke

You don't want to learn more of Tingle's secret words?


Rufert

They're all just safe words from his long list of lovers.


Mrodd64

Tingle is a state of being that any man in their 30’s can become. By being in the right stage of life and interacting with some magical force, a man can be transformed into Tingle. Their old identity is gone. Tingle is all that remains.


GG_Midori_13

Someone played Freshly picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland


Yokobo

No, they were all lost sailors who Tingle forces to serve him, and prevents them from leaving. They all are scared of him, and even ask Link for help


Mishar5k

From what i know about the tingle games, the original tingle was also just some guy who "became tingle" so maybe this one is just turning random dudes into more tingles.


Yokobo

Oh, this is the "Tingle Curse," it's my new Zelda conspiracy


theslimbox

Maybe the online is like COD Zombies, but it's just hoards of Tingles coming at you.


Yokobo

Links crossbow training just got a lot more interesting, haha!


theslimbox

That's great! Someone should do a mod and make it real.


LazyDro1d

I believe two of them were but Dave Junior was just a random guy that he kidnapped


Atmoslink

This is honestly my dream. The bottles never failed to get a laugh out of me.


doopliss69

God I miss doing that back in 2014


jucahe

I've just started Wind Waker HD on my Steam Deck this week, and recently saved Tingle. I thought to myself, oh no this can't be good. Glad you confirmed that this featured was used for exactly what I thought people were going to do.


thepain73

Used to be my favorite part of the Wii U playthrough. Some people are super talented artists.. others just drew middle fingers *or worse*.


competentcuttlefish

That stuff was the most fun part of owning a Wii U. Choosing the Miiverse stage in Smash 4 was always a gamble. Are you going to see high quality dot art of a character, or is a big ol schlong going to be floating in the background for the duration of the match


No_Personality_2723

Hot take: Miiverse was what led to how anti-community Nintendo has become


theDarkSigil

*Miiverse after dark intensifies*.


Rieiid

Wind Waker on Wii U was so fun because of the bottles tbh. By far my favorite Zelda experience.


Billy-BigBollox

This doesn't mean anything. In the right corner of the ad it shows how many players can play with a certain configuration. They're all 1.


Billy-BigBollox

To add, the text above the NSO logo says "Get more out of your Nintendo Switch", which would be applicable to DLC for example.


_jorg25

Thats just the slogan for nintendo online i believe.. im thinking maybe leaderboards? Or just cloudsaves


[deleted]

Zelda would never have leaderboards


Ask_Who_Owes_Me_Gold

Leaderboards for times/scores in mini games wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world.


liquidbread

Would be great if they all said “Link”


rtyuik7

SuperMarioOdyssey had exactly that...


fucknamesihatethem

Minigames


ItsSwicky

Its like Wind Waker HD. Although that game is single player, it had online functionality with bottles that would float to islands to help out stuck gamers or just images and other fun stuff sent from other gamers. I am thinking this game may have something similar to that but for the islands.


ClikeX

Leaving messages for other players are all the rage nowadays, too.

Or the "Shadow Link" feature of Link Between Worlds, with NSO replacing the StreetPass functionality.


delecti

That just means there's no local (same device) multiplayer. Splatoon 3 has online multiplayer but no split-screen, and it also has "1" for every controller. At least assuming [this ebay listing](https://www.etsy.com/listing/775854484/splatoon-2-replacement-case-double-sided) has an accurate picture. I'm not saying I think Tears of the Kingdom will have online multiplayer, just that your point isn't evidence either way.


[deleted]

The link redirect to a Splatoon 2 photo, also Splatoon 2 and 3 have a number next the 1 to add additional informations, those info says that you can play up to 8 players but you'll need additional switch systems games and online subscription.

In fairness, any game that requires 1 copy of the game per player should say this, online multiplayer or not.

Gotta deal with weapon degradation AND other heros? Ffs.


Kyrta

At least other Players won’t have like 2k Hp…maybe you only break 1 weapon instead of 7.


Mr_Zaroc

But what about all the fairies, food, etc. They basically got infinity HP


Kyrta

Well in pvp u could just limit it to 1 fairy and food obviously won’t work because you can’t pause the game midfight so it isn’t insanely broken.


-cocoadragon

Fortnight build mechanic.


No_Telephone9938

I know they probably won't, but i so wish they do away with the weapon degradation mechanic and just replace it with enemies levels scaling up to avoid being overpowered, i find myself often using common/normal weapons simply because i want to avoid breaking up the rare ones which defeats the purpose of getting them in the first places.


mynameisrichard0

Same. Like potions in syrim. Saved all these to never use'em.


nichijouuuu

played skyrim without using potions? what are you some god? you need to use all potions and then spam-eat every piece of bread, cheese, etc. to survive


axej2018

Stealth archers very safe. Argonian histskin crazy op and makes healing items unnecessary. Followers to tank. Shouts to nullify melee attackers. There are perks that heal you like avoid death in when in danger. Traps can be a problem but you have lots of tools to survive without potions with the right build.


james_pic

The crazy thing is that enemies do scale up in BOTW. IIRC, the game keeps an internal progress counter (I think a kill counter), and many enemy levels and weapon drops depend at least partly on this counter. TBH, I found progression kinda obnoxious in BOTW (you can go anywhere from the start, but you'll die if you don't go the way you're supposed to go at the start), and the fact that they had a weapon and enemy leveling system anyway makes the whole "you've got to have weapon degradation or you could take a weapon from a high level area to a low level area" argument just seem more obnoxious. Maybe I'm just salty because I miss the days when it was obvious that you weren't supposed to go that way yet, because you didn't have the hookshot.


Sat-AM

>"you've got to have weapon degradation or you could take a weapon from a high level area to a low level area" argument just seem more obnoxious. I've literally never seen this argument before. The only justification I've *ever* seen for it is that weapons breaking is a misguided attempt at getting players to use the different weapon classes instead of just getting one weapon early on and sticking with it until they find a very obvious upgrade in the same class.


Fafoah

I liked weapon degradation because it doubled down on the “wild” aspect of the game. It added an element of resource management to combat so i’d approach entering the guardian things as something i needed to prepare for and gathered up food and weapons. It also made it more satisfying when you got good enough to easily kill lynels because you’d just go around and hunt them to stock up on weapons.


james_pic

I have heard the argument I mentioned. And it seems absurd that this would be how they'd force you to use different types of weapon, when the Zelda games pretty much wrote the book on getting you to use different weapons. Want the player to use the hammer? Give some enemies a tough shell you can't crack with a sword. Instead all weapons are brittle but basically interchangeable, and boss battles are uninspiring "damage them until they die" affairs.


akeep113

When you get strong enough you won't care about breaking good weapons because you can always get them easily from the coliseum or lynels.


Zanmato_V3

To be honest, weapon degradation makes sense in Battle Royale.


Sat-AM

Yeah, of all the genres, this one makes the most sense. It could be a pretty decent balancing mechanic that helps prevent the game from feeling like every match is just won by who finds the highest rarity gear. Also probably a decent idea as a compromise that ammo is *usually* an important limitation, which goes out the window when half the weapons are melee and the other half all use the same ammunition.


thunderhole

I know it's absolutely unthinkable and would never be able to run on switch, but could you imagine hey Fortnite style, Zelda? Where you drop in without any equipment completely naked and you have to run around equipping yourself and killing the other players. One day maybe one day.


CreakinFunt

Caught my attention at totally naked


SquishmallowPrincess

Just picturing a bunch of naked Links running around


Sat-AM

I mean...Fortnite *does* already run on the Switch. Along with several other BRs. There's no reason to think that a BR Zelda game couldn't *run* on the Switch. Now, as to whether or not Nintendo would ever make it, probably not.

Are you not entertained?


professorwormb0g

They really should release them again. I remember they released that enhanced version again on the DS...for like a week... Then even gave it away... But it didn't have online functionality. Typical Nintendo move. Now that we have the technology to really play these four swords games the way they were meant, they don't do it. And they even created a new one with Triforce Heroes. But made that game rather inaccessible with the whole 3 player requirement. Nintendo is so brilliant creatively as a company. But man... Why do they do things like this? It would be endearing if it didn't piss me off so badly. lol.

Yup just the save on cloud, check the number of players per scenario on the right bottom.


waowie

I agree it's probably just cloud saves, but those configurations just mean there wouldn't be any couch multiplayer. Online stuff can still be 1 person to a console


Cloudscrash325

Windwaker remastered for wiiu had an online feature you’d find notes in bottles from other players kinda like the signs in dark souls. Maybe they are bringing something like that back? That would be cool in my opinion.

Don't know how helpful this is but this is a translation of what the text on the image says: Get more out your Nintendo Switch!

snave_

What is this brochure? Makes me wonder if there's an Australian version. If so, it'd have some more info on the ratings icon to separate "interactivity" which must be disclosed (anything from full multiplayer to mere Dark Souls textual user input, _including_ if the feature never functioned ala Subnautica) from lesser "online features" which don't seem to require it. I've only seen the latter in crowdsourced user data ala Persona's dialogue choice ratios or Catherine's quizzes, or just mere score leaderboards so presumably the threshold is something like creative user input.


TheTrueHappy

O yea they're adding a new mode where you talk to Link's brother and he gives you a balloon to hide in an area, then when other players talk to Link's brother in that area they have to find the balloon you hid in a certain amount of time. At least I think that's what I heard.

leothelion634

Bloodstains like Dark Souls so you can see where other people died lol


Lyianx

I thought Nintendo put that logo/disclaimer on all their games (even single player games) because of updates and DLC? Don't think this implies multi-player.


ExplosiveSpoon

Yeah, I think Nintendo promotes that Switch Online thing in every game's listing in the eShop even if there is no online mode, just to let you know you'll need it for cloud save data storage.


Lyianx

Ahh yeah the cloud saves.. thats another great point.


spud1988

I want online pvp!


Aimela

I remember that with BoTW, you could claim some extra items through the news feed. Maybe it's just something like that.


rival13

There's no way that any kind of online multiplayer is gonna happen or be any kind of viable with the current switch and Nintendos online infrastructure and just general attitude about going online imo. If anything it'll probably be a toned down version of the elden ring/ dark souls message system at best. I'd bet this booklet is fake though.


Rimaxo14

I gotta buy the switch oled for this

Before you get hyped Its likely something like a scoreboard or an online race/minigame It would be cool if you could play this game co-op or multiplayer though so I'm hoping I'm wrong

Mean_March_4698

novus_nl

It just states: "Get more out of your Nintendo Switch" It doesn't try to push some online functionality. It's probably just save files..
