It’s been hard over the last month or so to get any time on the Switch and Tears of the Kingdom.
Work has been super busy during the day with marking and getting students across the finish line before the end of term. Which has left me really drained in the evenings and at weekends. I’ve just not had the energy to pick up the switch.
It sounds like I’m making excuses for having not played the game. And it’s true I am.
There is a bit of I think trying to convince myself that’s the reason why to ease my sense of guilt.
Earlier in the week I was listening to the latest The Remaster podcast where they discuss Tears of the Kingdom. I like how the hosts talk about video games. It’s some of the most intelligent discussion online. And I was waiting for this episode to hear what they had to say. Sadly Shadid wasn’t taking part in this episode. I assume because he hasn’t had a chance to play the game yet.
One interesting suggestion by the hosts Myke and Federico in this episode for Tears of the Kingdom is to get hold of some amiibo cards to use with the game. These are not official products. However they are much much cheaper than trying to purchase the official amiibos. So can be very expensive. These amiibo cards when scanned act exactly like the official thing and will unlock bonus items etc in game. I have a set on the way now.
But go click the link above and listen to probably the most interesting discussion on Tears of the Kingdom on the Internet. It’ll certainly put any words I throw together to shame.
We are days away from the official players guide landing through letter boxes, and in particular mine. I should try and get the Breathe of the Wild one. So I’m looking forward to that arriving.
I am avoiding the many many YouTube videos out there of all the amazing and clever devices and vehicles players have been building in the game.
I’m feeling guilty as it is not playing Tears of the Kingdom. No need to add feeling inadequate as well.
In the meantime I need to think about my future coverage of the game for this blog.
