I had around 150 by the time I completed the game.
Bonus question: what percentage completion do you have?
I’m sitting on 50.5% right now.
I started booting up other games again after about 200 hours. Credits hit, all shrines and LRs found and completed, full energy upgrades.
I haven’t gotten all the gear but of the gear I got, it’s all at least 2-star. I think I’ll probably boot it up periodically now and then to run down gear and get mats to get them all upgraded.
I doubt I’ll ever care to get all Koroks and true 100% map completion, but given enough time, I suppose it may end up happening regardless. Despite moving on to other games again, it’s still quite peaceful and enjoyable in small doses, just like BotW was for me before. I never truly 100%ed the Koroks and map % in that either, but I got pretty far…
I haven’t bought the game yet because I’m afraid of getting hooked on it…
160 hours! I loved it! I wanna go back at some point to finish levelling up all the armours
Wow, that would be a grind. I just collected them all and maxed my favorites. Still some quests too I guess though
Where can I find that out? I’ve never noticed a playtime clock on the Switch.
Click your profile at the top of the home screen, on the right side under your account deets should be all your gameplay hours
If you have less than I think 10 days with a game then it says something other than the total hours I believe
@R00bot I have 120 hours and 50% completion when I decided to fight Ganon. Still a lot of content left I haven’t done, including major sections of the depths unexplored.
I’m still playing the game, I haven’t completed the game yet and I spent more than 110 hours.
Question: Where can you see your percentage game completion?
Once you complete the main quest it will be visible on the map screen :)
40 hours and haven’t saved Rito or Gerudo yet. Just about to go to the Akalla lab. Have been loving the game so far! The increased importance of stables is nice as well
Around 40 hours if im not mistaken
I finished the first jump sequence and had to do some errands and I just haven’t been back to the game yet. I figure once I start I’ll sink a lot of time into it but I just… haven’t yet.
Switch says 280+ hours. Some of that was messing around building dumb and fun stuff. Completed all shrines, 111 lightroots, all bubbul gems, 404 korok seeds and I have almost all armors. I really enjoyed hunting down all the caves. Caves and underground were my biggest wishes for this game, and OH BOY did they deliver in that respect.
Edit: 73.99% completion and I don’t plant on attempting 100% lol
Probably unpopular opinion but I burned out on BOTW before I even beat 2 divine beasts, and felt like I beat all the shrines I could get to without getting one shot by enemies in the area so kind of felt totally stuck… I haven’t even picked up TOTK yet as I figured it would be more of the same.
And they kept that annoying weapon breaking mechanic which I always hated… been getting around to playing BOTW again with mods before moving on to TOTK, but also heard about the pretty awful performance on Switch so will probably buy it but just play on emulator to get a decent frame rate or wait for a Switch 2 and pray for backward compatibility support like PS5 has for PS4 games to get better performance.
BOTW on CEMU with mods is a really fun experience. I’ve been playing it on my Steam Deck, and it’s fantastic.
Sweet, I have a steam deck, so I might do that. I also have an unpatched Switch I could use to play native with mods, and a mod chip sitting at home waiting to be installed in my OLED model to potentially do the same. Either way I think I’m gonna give it a shot with mods and see if I like it more, then move on to TOTK if so.
TOTK performance on switch is not bad at all. I don’t know where what perception came from. I haven’t experienced any low frame rate issues after 100 hours.
That’s great to hear. I had heard complaints about dips down to like 15fps and just generally being a 30fps game at very low render resolution that still had trouble with stable frame times. But I haven’t actually played it so it could just be the usually internet complaining. Now that I think of it I heard performance complaints about BOTW too but never noticed any while playing myself.
I have for sure ran into performance issues during really demanding sections. I think the honest take is, as a switch game, the resolution and framerate are lower than if this was on Xbox Series X. At the same time, I think it’s high enough that the game still looks great and quite stable. We aren’t talking Pokémon Scarlet type constant frame drops for no reason. Performance issues were very rarely a concern - I think the game is well designed and it truly is something where a significant frame drop won’t happen for multiple play sessions.
I’m over 80 hours in and I’m not even close to finishing the main quest. I’ve done 2 of the 4 initial temples, lots of shrines and korok seeds, but taking my time and enjoying every new section of the map. Not in a hurry, I’ve been enjoying other games in between. Plus, if this is anything like BotW, I’ll still be playing it 3 or 4 years from now.
Quit after 10 hours.
Great fuck around in engineering simulator.
Terrible terrible actual game.
That’s how I felt about BOTW. Great tech demo, not a good Zelda game. I tried 3 times to get into it and couldn’t. Its popularity is still perplexing to me.
Did you enjoy BOTW?
I’ve put around 240+ hours into TOTK but not because I am a completionist or anything, it’s mostly because I don’t like using fast travel and I enjoy traveling the world, finding secrets or hidden locations.
But I have to admit that I overdid it, towards the end I felt a little burned out due to this.
I’ve sunk like 290~ hours so far into it (although some of it is definitely being AFK).
Have all Quests, all Caves, Lightroots and am sitting at 95% map completion. Planning to get the 100% before my Hero’s Path is full.
Not sure if I grind out the last few remaining things that don’t count towards the map percentage completion (beating every boss encounter everywhere, upgrading every armor to max).
