Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Tears of the Kingdom taking five years actually kind of shocks me, because it doesn't play that much different from a re-skinned version of its predecessor.
@SatouKazuma @_pete_ There are lots of things that go into games design that make it take that long in the modern day, so just because it plays very similar to its predecessor, there's still a lot of work to be done to get the game to the state that its in.
I might be a developer, but I can't say games are exactly in my wheel house. With the new enemies and animations, however, I can't say I'm that shocked it takes a while.
