I bought Zelda TotK right after release for Switch 1, just to be presented with a bright, blurry game with loading screens that I, personally, couldn't live with. I retired it after about an hour, uninstalled it from my console and sold the game on eBay.
Years later, the Switch 2 released and I was hyped. Bought it on release day and had the urge to give TotK another go. This was the start of something beautiful.
This game is an absolute blast. I wasn't as hooked since Elden Ring. The map design, the sheer possibilities, the love for detail, the way the game guides you in the right direction: it's absolutely fantastic.
This game is a master piece, and on the Switch 2, the game feels the way it should have felt on the day it released.
I can not recommend this enough.
Yeah, I'm not proud, I needed to google it to get past that bit too on my first playthrough. It seems like this was one thing they didn't add any in-game hints for.
