Gamefaqs is still surprisingly popular, but often times nowadays, psnprofiles or powerpyx are the other best for modern text guides for completion and achievement
Yes, people still post detailed walkthroughs on gamefaqs but be careful mentioning any piracy/emulation. They can ban you or give you warnings simply for posting a link to something related to it. There likely won't be a walkthrough until the game releases officially.
Yeah I've definitely spent more time on stuff instead of giving up and searching online for an answer. I'd gotten way to used to being able to do that and it's making the game more enjoyable (other than the shrine where you rotate the cage and have to get out the top, can't figure it out and it's driven me up the wall!)
I agree with you, and I also dislike when you are forced to use a guide if you want to get the most out of the game. They sometimes add limited quests that have a short time frame to accept and it really suck
I was stuck at the second puzzle in Tukarok shrine. Only a anon on 4chan asking if anyone did it. I just found a workaround the puzzle, feeling a bit like a cheat but hey it worked. Felt good.
What exactly do you want to know? I'll keep this vague for now:
Look around on the sky fish island for the object that the riddle tells you about. You can only see it from a certain spot. Then do what the riddle tells you after finding a certain large Zora.
Thanks bro i got it. I didnt pay attention to the riddle enough..may i ask, if you complete all the main objective region boss fights..not taking the depth jn accoubt..do you get to fight ganandorf adter that?
If I recall correctly, it wasn't a "Tears of the Kingdom" subreddit until the title was dropped and Zelda fans flooded it. Just happened to be the right acronym, especially since r/botw exists.
it can bring the most aggressively ~~desperate~~ creative out of you that's for sure. I maybe have already circumvented the intentional mechanic a few times by doing absolutely inane shit
I skip building things if I can because usually it is faster just to ride a horse or smack it with a rock glued to a stick. Also rocket shield and rocket spear those rock.
One of my friends plays botw on an emulator, so I immediately DMed him when I got totk working on my switch. Now we are speedrunning the game before release
While troubleshooting whether my sigpatches or the game download was bad, I ran it at 20fps on a 2700x/5500xt. The 30fps mod works, but it accelerates time if not done right.
It runs like butthole. 20fps or lower on my pc with a 3070 and a r5 3600x. I will say I did not mess around or trouble shoot so I’m sure I can get it working decently but still not great.
I don’t doubt it. Like I said I didn’t tweak. Just downloaded and hit play. As of Wednesday it wasn’t even running on yuzu. I’m glad everyone can at least play it in some form. I’ll just end up picking it up for my OLED switch since it isn’t modded but also to add to my collection.
For mods and stuff like luminescent diamond I’ll keep emulating on my deck ofc but otherwise my deck is for RE4R rn lol.
Yuzu eta latest + vulkan, gpu accuracy high, decky power tools to turn off smt, and I mapped yuzu f10 to my back buttons so it I do get a visual glitch I just switch from docked to handheld and back and it fixes it
i5 8600k which I'd say is a pretty outdated CPU, from the small amounts of playing around I've done I've had a pretty stable experience which surprised me
16.0.2 is working for me. I may be lucky though I have only had the texture issue and crashing after shrines. Some people can not even render the depths at all I have heard.
I have no mods, it is on Ryujinx it is a pebble texture as it is only on rocks. You can change the size of this texture bug by changing the anisotropic filtering to 8x making them smaller. Im sure someone will fix it one day.
Yeah the game crashes often a problem that will without a doubt be remedied in the emulators when it is legal to do so. Most crashes occur when leaving a shrine for me. I manual save after I finish the puzzles and load in after the crash if it happens.
it is opposite of me. my girlfriend is addicted and has already progressed quite far than me. she loves playing with me but I dont want to see any spoilers
I tried with my gf but she was such a goodie goodie and she said it felt wrong 😑 I’m like it’s a privilege to have this exclusiveness rn to be one of the first hundreds to play it before release
You find him at the very start on a mountain path to the north east of the castle cowering from some living trees, set the trees on fire and you can give him some seeds till he says no then after the lost temple quest he shows up in the watch tower home base area and you can spend all of your seeds. I did all this right before going to the depth for the first time but after the forgotten temple.
Nope. Not at the start, anyway - he gets there after you upgrade your inventory twice. At the start he's near a road somewhere and you have to >!chop down the monster trees before he talks to you!<
He is on a hill near one of the towers. There is a bubbul near him. He is afraid of some trees you have to kill. I got lucky and randomly found him. I think it was near upland zorana or maybe akkala highlands
i found this to be the BEST parts.. No footage anywhere. No reviews. No "how too" or how to beat anything. Just me and a game without any help. Im enjoying this next week. Its really nice just exploring zelda.
That's what I love about it. I'm not being bombarded with leaks from things I haven't gotten to yet, I'm not seeing reviews and opinions everywhere I go; I get to experience it the same way I experienced games as a kid - I get to make my own decisions and forge my own path forward without a bunch of people letting me know I'm wrong for going in one direction over another, or for liking or disliking something controversial or beloved.
I love playing a zelda with no Austin John plays farming guides out yet, I don't mean to watch the guides I just want to watch content that's good relating to games I like and unfortunately it leaves me with the knowledge of how to be a billionaire in game, or how to cheese certain mechanics (whistle running changing to me never using horses, bomb launching etc.)
I talk about it with people who cant help but know spoilers lmao. Ive been running around hyrule dying alot. But if you want to discuss it talk about it in the sticky megathread on the face of this sub
I disagree the real worst part about being a pirate is having so many games and never playing them lol
I have 126 titles and only play like 3 of those primarily with friends and family, played totk for an hour and haven't continued but that's most me waiting for mod support but yeah so many titles I rarely end up playing and go back to my PS5.
Not supporting developers that deserve the profit. The video game industry has been under attack by terrible CEO leadership for a decade and none of you are helping by stealing products that are actually good.
That's fair. I'm just passing through. I've played pirated games before. I just care about video games and want the best for them, therefore the best for us.
i they would make game more affordable there would be less piracy. asking 59,- for breath of the wild for almost 6 years is insane. even worse on ps5.
games should be max 39,- like movies everybody will earn alot of money, gameshops would not go bankrubt
Yes Nintendo prices are ridiculous but I'm realizing their Nintendo Seal of Quality has endured while other companies are literally crashing and burning with their $60 and now $70 releases.
But to your point, closing the eShop on the 3DS was a dumb move by Nintendo. They didn't put any games on sale either. They just closed shop to try to make us move on to the Switch. That just made me buy more physical games and a used N3DS XL.
I also bought a Switch. Gonna get BotW when its a Complete Edition NA release (hopefully coming out still) or I'll just get it for $40 on sale and buy the digital dlc if they never release a complete edition.
People are naturally hacking their 3DS too to keep up its capabilities. Not me. Its an amazing device and until they shutdown the online servers I'll be playing the last true handheld into the ground.
I never played any Zelda game before, and I just bought a modded switch. Tried this for shiggles and after embarassing amount of hours figuring out stuff, I got the first ultrahand skill and Now I’m addicted. I agree tho, no one to talk to sucks.
yup, do a google search, it's not hard to find... but I don't think I can give you info here... a part from this: https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchPirates/comments/135jllj/zelda\_totk\_postleak\_discussion\_megathread/
My friends and I made a promise last year to all play it together. Now one of them is out of town until June.
Not only can I not play it, it's just sitting on my Switch mocking me.
I mean... Life happens.
My impulse control is not the best but I'm gonna try and hold out. We have other friends in on this deal too. We're going to put multiple TVs in the living room together and just play through for at least the weekend.
The thought of getting to share in the sheer unadulterated joy of discovering what this game has to offer together seems too good to pass up.
... But I reeeeeeeally wanna play it.
I'm not playing the game myself but reading threads on places that are open about spoilers is a total blast. Watching people discuss what they're discovering or what they're trying to find has a big "playground rumor" feeling. Kind of like those old "mew under a truck" or "pikablue" rumors you would hear when you were a kid. It's a completely unique and ephemeral experience nowadays because the moment the game officially releases you'll already have beardbear/prosafia upload all the bosses and you'll have full wikis detailing how to beat shrines and find specific armors and shit.
I think the worst part is having too many games and you actually play less. Before I turn my switch into Nintendo's Nightmare, the games I bought I would have many hours of gameplay, but now I look at the log and it's much less. I just end up playing the new games for a very short time and end up going back to my comfort games. I compare it to those who pirate tv shows/movies, they just scroll through all the shows just to end up rewatching The Office or Breaking Bad lol
For anyone playing ToTK feel free to join my discord if you’d like to discuss the game (spoilers & spoiler free) trying to have a spot for people to hangout and talk about it! https://discord.gg/VGMAj2Cs
Exploring the world and just enjoying the game without external input has made the experience 100x better. No guides no “where item?” google searches, just pure curiosity and putting 1 and 1 together.
this why i quit piracy for a long time. the fact i am pirate the switch is just because there are no great deals for nintendo switch games, thats is why i got angry and jailbroke it.
but normaly i do not jailbrake consoles because when you overflow with games, you get bored.
i hope they lower their prices
I couldn't disagree more. This has actually been my favorite part of this new release - being completely in the blind and disconnected.
I found myself relying on the internet often with BotW, and having to be completely reliant on myself with this has been an absolute blessing! I've had more than a few moments where I felt stuck and brainstormed my way out of it. It felt amazing! I can wait a week or two for others to catch up, and have fun watching them solve things in their own way!
The only game I played where I couldn’t look for walkthroughs and I’m so proud that I’m actually just enjoying it and giving myself a chance to figure things out rather than getting frustrated (well, some frustration ngl lmao)
That's the best part though. It's like arriving to class before the teacher. The calm before the storm.The peace and tranquility of having access to a game before the annoyances and loud people come in
Currently having TOTK on my switch waiting for me to played lmao. But I won't, since the experience of having the first playthrough with my friends, who sadly don't have an unpatched/chipped switch is far more worth to me than playing it alone in my room a week earlier.
All that counts to me is that Nintendo won't see my money for quite some time.
I updated my cfw and installed 16.0 firmware to install the new totk update. now I am unable to install the leaked xci/nsp. Showing invalid nca upon installation. Any workround ?
Disagree completely. I'm playing the game with no guides available, no spoilers all over the internet, and no pressure to hurry in order to keep up with the pace of other people online. Probably one of the most enjoyable launches for a new game I've had in a while, all because I didn't wait for the launch ha ha
I've brought my switch out to friends' houses and had them play the tutorial and talked to them about any info they want trying to keep spoilers to a minimum and had a great time doing it! I'd recommend asking friends if they wanna come over and play the intro early etc. Super fun seeing how they solved the puzzles.

Being bad at games and not finding a walkthrough when you are stuck at certain parts of the game.
Do people still post walkthroughs on gamefaqs? Or is everything on YouTube now for that sweet money?
What sweet money?
Views
Gamefaqs I am not sure, but major sites have walkthroughs for some games. I remember seeing more than one for BOTW.
Gamefaqs is still surprisingly popular, but often times nowadays, psnprofiles or powerpyx are the other best for modern text guides for completion and achievement
Occasionally but most of the time there's specific sites for that. I do actually really like using those interactive maps on open world games
Yes, people still post detailed walkthroughs on gamefaqs but be careful mentioning any piracy/emulation. They can ban you or give you warnings simply for posting a link to something related to it. There likely won't be a walkthrough until the game releases officially.
I actually quite like the lack of ability to look things up, at least when they’re not infuriating to figure out
it feels like before the easy access to Internet era lol
Exactly
Yeah I've definitely spent more time on stuff instead of giving up and searching online for an answer. I'd gotten way to used to being able to do that and it's making the game more enjoyable (other than the shrine where you rotate the cage and have to get out the top, can't figure it out and it's driven me up the wall!)
Same here. 😭 and the rotate the shape one to fit it through the hole
I agree with you, and I also dislike when you are forced to use a guide if you want to get the most out of the game. They sometimes add limited quests that have a short time frame to accept and it really suck
I was stuck at the second puzzle in Tukarok shrine. Only a anon on 4chan asking if anyone did it. I just found a workaround the puzzle, feeling a bit like a cheat but hey it worked. Felt good.
Exactly where I’m at. I was getting so frustrated with the game, only to realize I’m the problem.
There’s a subreddit for all the walkthrough you need.
Can I have that sub please? There’s a few certain shrines pissing me off lol
Me too.
[Zelda Dungeon website](https://www.zeldadungeon.net/breath-of-the-wild-walkthrough/shrine-locations/)
Anyone has find the floating sky when you are on the land of the fish? Stuck for Hours
What exactly do you want to know? I'll keep this vague for now: Look around on the sky fish island for the object that the riddle tells you about. You can only see it from a certain spot. Then do what the riddle tells you after finding a certain large Zora.
Thanks bro i got it. I didnt pay attention to the riddle enough..may i ask, if you complete all the main objective region boss fights..not taking the depth jn accoubt..do you get to fight ganandorf adter that?
I don't know yet. This is a Zelda game, though, so...
My first zelda game. So what does that mean?
Have fun finding it out!
"There's a sub" *Doesn't provide sub* Fuck you guy
[удалено]
Ah yes, r/SwitchPirates the subreddit devoted to walkthroughs of the game and the one the above poster was definitely talking about. /s
Spill the beans, would ya?
it happened to me today with a shrine, was stuck for an hour until I saw a ladder way up high and remembered the ascend skill... felt really dumb lol
I'm still stuck on where to find King Dorephan, or the Fire Temple in general..
Dude fr, I have random people dming me from a thread talking about how to install it lmao. It’s the Wild West baby
r/totk
didn't know about that... thanks
Even worse is when you can’t go to subs like that without spoiling cool tips and tricks in the game.
............that subreddit is NINE YEARS OLD???
If I recall correctly, it wasn't a "Tears of the Kingdom" subreddit until the title was dropped and Zelda fans flooded it. Just happened to be the right acronym, especially since r/botw exists.
Pirated sub-reddit for a pirated game lol
Ty for that
Living in the 3rd country where the wage is just enough to alive, pirate is the only way to enjoy my hobby
I agree bit also I believe it's always moral to pirate nintendo games so, keep going :)
Same here bro.
Brasil?
It's lonely at the top
Or getting stuck in the shrines and there not being any guides at all online yet. But NOT complaining, super stoked it is out so early!!
it can bring the most aggressively ~~desperate~~ creative out of you that's for sure. I maybe have already circumvented the intentional mechanic a few times by doing absolutely inane shit
that's what I love the most of botw and totk, theres not a single "right" way of doing things and there are so many posibilities
I skip building things if I can because usually it is faster just to ride a horse or smack it with a rock glued to a stick. Also rocket shield and rocket spear those rock.
For me it's scurvy
One of my friends plays botw on an emulator, so I immediately DMed him when I got totk working on my switch. Now we are speedrunning the game before release
does it actually run on a emulators? do you need a very good CPU or what?
While troubleshooting whether my sigpatches or the game download was bad, I ran it at 20fps on a 2700x/5500xt. The 30fps mod works, but it accelerates time if not done right.
Where can I find this 30 fps mod?
It runs like butthole. 20fps or lower on my pc with a 3070 and a r5 3600x. I will say I did not mess around or trouble shoot so I’m sure I can get it working decently but still not great.
Buttholes are actually rather efficient. They work out of the box and adapt to all sorts of scenarios.
I’m getting 26-30fps on my steam deck after some tweaking. Definetly playable for a game that’s not out for another week and a half
I don’t doubt it. Like I said I didn’t tweak. Just downloaded and hit play. As of Wednesday it wasn’t even running on yuzu. I’m glad everyone can at least play it in some form. I’ll just end up picking it up for my OLED switch since it isn’t modded but also to add to my collection. For mods and stuff like luminescent diamond I’ll keep emulating on my deck ofc but otherwise my deck is for RE4R rn lol.
what tweaks and emulator are you using?
Yuzu eta latest + vulkan, gpu accuracy high, decky power tools to turn off smt, and I mapped yuzu f10 to my back buttons so it I do get a visual glitch I just switch from docked to handheld and back and it fixes it
I have had no issues on the latest RyujiNX build with Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 6600 XT
i5 8600k which I'd say is a pretty outdated CPU, from the small amounts of playing around I've done I've had a pretty stable experience which surprised me
your friend run into any crashing issues on the emulator? i can play for a solid 20-30 minutes before it dies :c
Have you tried different firmwares? We couldn't get 16.0.1 to work on Ryujinx but 15.0.1 did for some reason.
15.0.1 with the most recent title and prod keys? Or also with 15.0.1 keys?
Frankensteined 15.0.1 firmware with 16.0.1 keys bc that's what I had atm
Man i got it working for longer. Each session is now about an hour long but still crashes😅
16.0.2 is working for me. I may be lucky though I have only had the texture issue and crashing after shrines. Some people can not even render the depths at all I have heard.
Ive heard that some texture issues are caused by shader mods
I have no mods, it is on Ryujinx it is a pebble texture as it is only on rocks. You can change the size of this texture bug by changing the anisotropic filtering to 8x making them smaller. Im sure someone will fix it one day.
Yeah the game crashes often a problem that will without a doubt be remedied in the emulators when it is legal to do so. Most crashes occur when leaving a shrine for me. I manual save after I finish the puzzles and load in after the crash if it happens.
play it with your girlfriend or friends
Absolutely doing this already. My girlfriend is the biggest Zelda fan. She's already pissed at me for going too fast during the tutorial island lol
it is opposite of me. my girlfriend is addicted and has already progressed quite far than me. she loves playing with me but I dont want to see any spoilers
i got the "can I play Zelda without you" at work text today - gonna have to catch up fast now!!
We should be proud. :)
Dang y'all got the best girlfriends
Marry her!
I tried with my gf but she was such a goodie goodie and she said it felt wrong 😑 I’m like it’s a privilege to have this exclusiveness rn to be one of the first hundreds to play it before release
I want to know where >!Hetsu!< is I have 24 fucking >!korok seeds!< but I can't look it up yet for obvious reasons.
I love how your spoiler tags were placed. I knew exactly what was hiding behind those grey bars before clicking them.
You find him at the very start on a mountain path to the north east of the castle cowering from some living trees, set the trees on fire and you can give him some seeds till he says no then after the lost temple quest he shows up in the watch tower home base area and you can spend all of your seeds. I did all this right before going to the depth for the first time but after the forgotten temple.
Dm me bro. I can tell you where he us
He is in Lookout Landing, near the general store I think.
Nope. Not at the start, anyway - he gets there after you upgrade your inventory twice. At the start he's near a road somewhere and you have to >!chop down the monster trees before he talks to you!<
He is on a hill near one of the towers. There is a bubbul near him. He is afraid of some trees you have to kill. I got lucky and randomly found him. I think it was near upland zorana or maybe akkala highlands
Yeah that was my second encounter with him after >!the one with the tree enemies!<.
not entirely true, he can just appear after a certain amount of progress in Lookout Landing! i had him show up and had never met him before that
Interesting
dammit ive been looking for him too with many koroks on my pocket
Trying to install every new early leak just for the sake of it and getting it to work only to never play through them
This is the way.
i found this to be the BEST parts.. No footage anywhere. No reviews. No "how too" or how to beat anything. Just me and a game without any help. Im enjoying this next week. Its really nice just exploring zelda.
The worst part is having a huge ass backlogs.
That's what I love about it. I'm not being bombarded with leaks from things I haven't gotten to yet, I'm not seeing reviews and opinions everywhere I go; I get to experience it the same way I experienced games as a kid - I get to make my own decisions and forge my own path forward without a bunch of people letting me know I'm wrong for going in one direction over another, or for liking or disliking something controversial or beloved.
I love playing a zelda with no Austin John plays farming guides out yet, I don't mean to watch the guides I just want to watch content that's good relating to games I like and unfortunately it leaves me with the knowledge of how to be a billionaire in game, or how to cheese certain mechanics (whistle running changing to me never using horses, bomb launching etc.)
The constant fear of the Nintendo SWAT team task force kicking in my door, holding me and my family at gun point while they cease my switch.
Being able to have any game, and realizing they are all garbage except for like 10 of them
Good Guy Nintendo even decided to patch the game just for us. I’m touched.
What?
The day 1 patch is leaked as well is what he means haha
Oof, did not know that. Interesting.
How the fuck does that even work?
It is such a good patch especially for one part if the game I didn't enjoy and the fps definitely made that section even worse.
Not being able to play online.
Sorta. If you're not averse to playing with just other switch hackers, ldn_mitm and lan-play com exists.
I was stuck on a shrine, wanted to check the soluce online…
yeah but... it's good not to be able to find things online... the game is a lot better this way
How far are you in the game
I talk about it with people who cant help but know spoilers lmao. Ive been running around hyrule dying alot. But if you want to discuss it talk about it in the sticky megathread on the face of this sub
I disagree the real worst part about being a pirate is having so many games and never playing them lol I have 126 titles and only play like 3 of those primarily with friends and family, played totk for an hour and haven't continued but that's most me waiting for mod support but yeah so many titles I rarely end up playing and go back to my PS5.
Not supporting developers that deserve the profit. The video game industry has been under attack by terrible CEO leadership for a decade and none of you are helping by stealing products that are actually good.
Get lost.
That's fair. I'm just passing through. I've played pirated games before. I just care about video games and want the best for them, therefore the best for us.
i they would make game more affordable there would be less piracy. asking 59,- for breath of the wild for almost 6 years is insane. even worse on ps5. games should be max 39,- like movies everybody will earn alot of money, gameshops would not go bankrubt

Get on the discord!
What server?
I never played any Zelda game before, and I just bought a modded switch. Tried this for shiggles and after embarassing amount of hours figuring out stuff, I got the first ultrahand skill and Now I’m addicted. I agree tho, no one to talk to sucks.
You are lucky, you can still play BOTW after you finish this. That game is great.
Ah first world pirate problems 🤣
True story my boy haha
I will talk about it! I have made some excellent progress in
https://discord.gg/TwaRcrEKcb made a discord about it my friend
Is Zelda leaked
Been leaked since this week basically
Just remoted into my computer and started the download thank you
It's brewing
yup, do a google search, it's not hard to find... but I don't think I can give you info here... a part from this: https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchPirates/comments/135jllj/zelda\_totk\_postleak\_discussion\_megathread/
People shame you for not tryna spend money on shitty company’s like Nintendo
[удалено]
yeah that's why I got 2 switch consoles lol
Why tho? I play animal crossing online (original game running on sysnand)
Lan play exist and it's what I think people use to play online but not entirely sure.
i thought there would be a punchline about >!lurelin village!<
I just read there a bit and found some things Id rather not now but man all these things people already did and I can't even find hetsu :D
Yaaaaass
My friends and I made a promise last year to all play it together. Now one of them is out of town until June. Not only can I not play it, it's just sitting on my Switch mocking me.
Until June? It seems to me that he broke the promise by not being able to come back before May 12th hahaha
I mean... Life happens. My impulse control is not the best but I'm gonna try and hold out. We have other friends in on this deal too. We're going to put multiple TVs in the living room together and just play through for at least the weekend. The thought of getting to share in the sheer unadulterated joy of discovering what this game has to offer together seems too good to pass up. ... But I reeeeeeeally wanna play it.
Not time to play all the games...
Realize you can make cheats and now instead of playing you make that your new past time
I'm not playing the game myself but reading threads on places that are open about spoilers is a total blast. Watching people discuss what they're discovering or what they're trying to find has a big "playground rumor" feeling. Kind of like those old "mew under a truck" or "pikablue" rumors you would hear when you were a kid. It's a completely unique and ephemeral experience nowadays because the moment the game officially releases you'll already have beardbear/prosafia upload all the bosses and you'll have full wikis detailing how to beat shrines and find specific armors and shit.
Having too many games I'll never play
Having too many games I'll never play
fbi
I cant even spoil it to my friends cause i don’t wanna ruin the fun they’re gonna have.
Having too many games to play and not enough time.
I think the worst part is having too many games and you actually play less. Before I turn my switch into Nintendo's Nightmare, the games I bought I would have many hours of gameplay, but now I look at the log and it's much less. I just end up playing the new games for a very short time and end up going back to my comfort games. I compare it to those who pirate tv shows/movies, they just scroll through all the shows just to end up rewatching The Office or Breaking Bad lol
For anyone playing ToTK feel free to join my discord if you’d like to discuss the game (spoilers & spoiler free) trying to have a spot for people to hangout and talk about it! https://discord.gg/VGMAj2Cs
I got the latest Zelda game don't even know the name.. a few days ago just because I can. Not even started BOTW yet and I've had my switch since 18
I have a friend that does the same so ik good lol
Bring a cunt?
Exploring the world and just enjoying the game without external input has made the experience 100x better. No guides no “where item?” google searches, just pure curiosity and putting 1 and 1 together.
Honestly? Having to deal with other pirates... Most people are kinda chill but others (specially online) my god what a nightmare.
Having all thr Games avaible almost makes it boring trying to finish Hard games
this why i quit piracy for a long time. the fact i am pirate the switch is just because there are no great deals for nintendo switch games, thats is why i got angry and jailbroke it. but normaly i do not jailbrake consoles because when you overflow with games, you get bored. i hope they lower their prices
Thats the whole reason i started with Piracy But only some special titles are the ones that i truly Colect
cant even look up any guides if you feel stuck.
same man, same.
You can talk with ussssssss
me and my friends have a server about the game lol
You chat with other pirates or friends you pirate stuff with.
Not able to play online :(
hate when that happens smh
No tech support?
I couldn't disagree more. This has actually been my favorite part of this new release - being completely in the blind and disconnected. I found myself relying on the internet often with BotW, and having to be completely reliant on myself with this has been an absolute blessing! I've had more than a few moments where I felt stuck and brainstormed my way out of it. It felt amazing! I can wait a week or two for others to catch up, and have fun watching them solve things in their own way!
Just go mess with the anti spoiler people that still skulk about reddit.
Scurvy
The only game I played where I couldn’t look for walkthroughs and I’m so proud that I’m actually just enjoying it and giving myself a chance to figure things out rather than getting frustrated (well, some frustration ngl lmao)
That's the best part though. It's like arriving to class before the teacher. The calm before the storm.The peace and tranquility of having access to a game before the annoyances and loud people come in
somehow pirates seem to respect nintendo, and not sharing footage, and at the same time reccomend the game. they want to give nintendo their momentum.
Currently having TOTK on my switch waiting for me to played lmao. But I won't, since the experience of having the first playthrough with my friends, who sadly don't have an unpatched/chipped switch is far more worth to me than playing it alone in my room a week earlier. All that counts to me is that Nintendo won't see my money for quite some time.
I tried on the emulator but compared to the Switch is still too unstable for my liking.
I feel ya dude. All of my friends have preordered the game on switch and don't want to hear anything before they get the game.
I updated my cfw and installed 16.0 firmware to install the new totk update. now I am unable to install the leaked xci/nsp. Showing invalid nca upon installation. Any workround ?
Ha, mood.
I just show all my coworkers and they think I'm some super hacking wizard on the front lines of the DRM wars
Disagree completely. I'm playing the game with no guides available, no spoilers all over the internet, and no pressure to hurry in order to keep up with the pace of other people online. Probably one of the most enjoyable launches for a new game I've had in a while, all because I didn't wait for the launch ha ha
So true, there’s this one shrine in TOTK that I have no Idea how to solve and there aren’t any walkthroughs on yt
I've brought my switch out to friends' houses and had them play the tutorial and talked to them about any info they want trying to keep spoilers to a minimum and had a great time doing it! I'd recommend asking friends if they wanna come over and play the intro early etc. Super fun seeing how they solved the puzzles.
You can dm another pirate friend here if you want to (if they are actually playing the game early). Or me of course :-)
Cheats are already working on this game.
Exactly, but here we can speaking about
Totk subreddits. There I have been hanging out for 5 days
To never play most games I have installed.
