General
- Fixed an issue in which the background music would not be played correctly in certain battles in the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
- Several other issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.
The only issue I found while playing was sometimes after long sessions the controls would be delayed, so if I tilted the joystick to look the motion would last long after I let go, if I hit B to jump/glide, it wouldn’t activate in time, or if I held GR to run he just wouldn’t. I’d have to restart the game to fix it, but I just beat the game 3 days ago and will never play this trainwreck again! Worst Zelda game ever.
Man that sure is some garbage taste you’ve got there.
Agreed, one 100% playthrough was enough. BotW and TotK weren’t bad games in their own right, but they weren’t good Zelda games in the likes of Twilight Princess, etc.
Really enjoying the constant updates for Zelda each patch adds something meaningful to the gameplay! If you’re into puzzle-style problem-solving like the shrine challenges, you might also find tools like https://letterboxsolver.vercel.app/ interesting for sharpening your logic between game sessions.
