I highly, highly doubt that Nintendo will remaster this. But it may run better on the Switch 2 so there's that.

I’m all over that as soon as I can preorder the English version.

I agree they aren’t remastering it, and it might get a flat 30fps, which seems like it would be a major achievement for Nintendo. 
 

I would personally prefer a remake of Twilight Princess or a complete reimagining of Ocarina (and Majorah), or a new classic Zelda. 
 

I know Nintendo is full speed ahead on Nu-Zelda, but man, I would much prefer one in the classic style.

Just popping in to say that yes, I’m still playing this a year later. Still trying to get all the light roots and shrines.

 

I did a dry run to the depths to see the path to Ganondorf and HOLY SHIT, that’s a trek.

I remember early on checking that place out just to see it, and once I saw all the high level enemies, and all the gloom it was an immediate NOPE.

I tried to AVOID all the enemies, going as far as to use an ancient arrow on the silver Lynel. Once I got to the first official battle against the army, I reloaded my previous save before I made the trek. 
 

I want the best armor and gloom meals before I even seriously attempt it.

I got deep into it. Never finished it. Gah.

I still have a shrine or two to wrap up I believe.  Maybe at some point.

 

Underground in this game is just too large and pointless for me to want to explore the whole thing.

Here’s my late game critique of this game. As a guy who doesn’t mind the weapon degradation system, by the game’s end it wears itself thin. A huge piece of this game is getting the master sword back, maybe more so than any other game in the series. It would fit narratively just fine if the damn thing didn’t need to recharge. Your player has put in the work by then, there’s still the option to use all the potentially more interesting weapons that will break… JUST LET THE MASTER SWORD NOT BREAK.

Didn't you play the first game? Should have learned your lesson then.

I did, but I was mostly fine with it in that one. Now I’ve played like another 100 hours of largely the same game and it would fit so neatly in how they do the master sword this time to just be like… it doesn’t break now cuz of what happened! 
 

I don’t think I cleaned up as much side content in the first game either.

This is so true and exactly how I felt.

Yeah I cared about weapons breaking this even less than the first game. You can attach shit to even a basic stick to turn it into a killing machine, so you should be completely fucking stacked with insane weapons the entire game. 

 

Still don't care about the master sword breaking, it's just a regular ass sword that respawns.

You can and they do a good job of giving you lots of good options during especially big battles. But by the end I was tired of even doing that. 

[Xbob42]

Tired of doing what? Putting stuff on weapons? I feel like my last batch of weapons lasted the entire final 5 hours of the game.

Yeah putting stuff on weapons. You musta made them out of more durable stuff than me cuz I was still churning through em lol. 
 

At least they let it go on the final battle. (Battles). (Lots of final battles). 

[Xbob42]

Yeah I remember going specifically for the most durable weapons since I could then have something that lasts a billion hits and still hits really hard.

Honestly kind of a beautiful game plot wise imo. Def the most invested I’ve been in a Zelda game story. Really appreciate how pleasant it is just to be in the game world a lot of the time. The underworld really contrasts well with the beautiful overworld. Glad to have finished the game but super enjoyable experience. It makes me wonder what direction they’ll take the next one. I’m not sure they can do another BOTW / TOTK game.
