Anyone know if you can play off of the WiiU gamepad and use a pro controller? Or do you have to play with the gamepad controls?

You can use the pro controller. There are a few Shrines that require the gamepad for gyro, tho. They all have a distinct name in the entrance that tells you they need gyro.

Also wtf is with the voice acting? Did they hire them off Craigslist?

The Zora girl who wants to jump Link's dick is the most distractingly bad VA I've heard in a game in recent memory and that's really saying something

Wii U patch is up now too so guess we'll know sooner or later if that helped with the framerate.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Agh, I'm so split. I was gonna just get it on WiiU and get Switch much later when splatoon 2 comes out, but looking at the draw distance differences, even if the improve the framerate on wiiu with a patch, I kinda want the switch version now...

But then I may not be able to find a switch for some time. So do I hold off on playing Zelda until I can find one?

Ugh I don't wanna bother trying to rush stores at 6 AM or whatever :(

Just get the Wii U version, you can buy it again for the Switch later.

The only downside for this is that I'm guessing you can't transfer your save, so if you rebuy it for Switch later you're starting over from the beginning.

No, you don't understand. The draw distances are the exact same. Everyone says so. In fact, the WiiU version has better draw distances. And no framerate issues at all.

How does one shield surf?
How does one block the laser beams and then knock them back with a shield?

Holy gently caress I just left the intro area and it's incredible. Simply incredible.

Like I don't even want to say the most basic of basic things about the game, because I feel like it would ruin the experience of discovery for people.

Parrying: Hold zL/left trigger to keep your shield up. Hit A to parry. If you time it wrong you're going to eat the attack. Not sure if all shields can parry the laser.

No idea how you shield surf.

Only by changing your system's region. And you can't mix and match English text with different VA.

Hold ZL to raise your shield, then X to jump and then A to shield surf.

Hold ZL to raise your shield, then A to swing it and if you do it in the window of time just before getting hit, you'll do a parry which reflects any projectile as well.

And god I agree. I got memes ready for Saturday, but [x] meets [y] is the last thing I would've expected and it's amazing.

Trying to remember how to shield surf from the time I played. I think you had to be holding it up and then press the jump button over a slope and then press another button in the air. Maybe A.

Yeah considering they released the game on both consoles it's just more money for them at this point. You either bought the Switch for BOTW or you didn't and just bought BOTW.

I guess several people posted that their "Amazon Prime Guaranteed Release Day Delivery" was scheduled for Tuesday. I was just thinking of cancelling my order since I'm in the same boat but I decided to see what happens if I set the shipping to 1 day. Before it was saying that 2 day prime shipping would take 4 days but now with 1 day shipping it's same day delivery. I don't know if their shipping page is full of poo poo or not but I'm paying an extra $4 for shipping and the price is still cheaper than anywhere else. I'm also expecting that I'll be able to complain and get a refund at a later date.
