The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch

Sheik amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

Nintendo amiibo-Guardian: Breath of the Wild

Nintendo amiibo-Bokoblin: Breath of the Wild

Nintendo amiibo-Zelda: Breath of the Wild
I got each of those (yes, even the game) for $4.89 each on Amazon. I don't know what I'm going to get in the mail, but I got a shipped email and the seller says they're all new stock.
whoa, great prices
That's crazy son. Good finds.

Finished Horizon last night. Fantastic game, improves on a lot of the conventional open world tropes with better combat. Art direction, graphics engine, and animations are all top notch.

Now, on to Zelda. :D

Would you say it is just the tutorial/introduction that takes awhile to get going?

I played the intro/pre-credits portion of Until Dawn last night, it was fun and creepy.

No, the opening hours of the game are just messy and awkward, with lifeless characters and bad writing. I don't know why, but that all changes once Peebee is introduced.

Until Dawn is great for a while but I quit after a few hours when an annoying bit of gameplay design ruined it for me. And I've heard what the ending is and it sounds stupid.

I've already tempered my expectations a bit, just because of the genre (horror + dialogue/action choices), so hopefully it will continue to surprise.

Lame, I've been noticing a lot more fake sellers of used items on Amazon. Has never really be a problem before.

They charge so much to sell that I don't see the upside. I sold a game on there and they wanted to take almost 1/3 of the price.

I'm slowly making my way. Peebee and Drack have joined up and I've established a outpost on Eos (I went with the research option for the outpost).

Zelda is a delight. Love how they kept the charm of the series while leaving some of the tiring tropes behind.

It's so good, I don't want to beat it. Does that make sense to anyone?
