Probably day 1ish, but I'm going away for the weekend and therefore won't have all that much time to play it, so I'm not in a huge rush and might end up putting it off for a few days.

Idk I had really mixed feelings on botw and it seems like they're doubling down on the things I didn't like.

However I'm leaving for a vacation next month and I would like to bring my switch and a new game so I'll probably say screw it and get it.

Same. Just because a game is set in the same world doesn't make it DLC. God of War Ragnark for example uses quite a bit from God of War 2018 but also adds a lot of new things and that isn't DLC. It's a sequel and does what a sequel should do. Not all sequels have completely different worlds to explore.

And you don't believe that "this might be something cool we can add to BotW" can evolve into "this concept could be the basis for a whole new game" as the team worked on it? I don't doubt that the idea started as DLC, I just don't know why people are so obsessed with that fact when it means pretty much nothing about whether or not the game as a whole is robust enough to stand alone.

no standard edition game is worth $70.

especially when deluxe editions of pc versions of the same games are cheaper than.comsole standard

That's not what I asked. The game's pricing is a separate point, one which there's really no objective basis by which to argue because the extent to which people value their money, time, and expected experience with the game is 100% subjective. I asked why you (among others) are so fixated on the fact that the game's concept started as DLC.

halo odst started as dlc and it was excellent, same with God of war Ragnarok, or horizon forbidden West, or many, many others that we just were never told about

it's common and fine

hell, Majora's mask was going to be dlc through the 64dd

OoT's map is about the only thing Majora's Mask didn't reuse. Granted, a large part of that was a consequence of Miyamoto setting Aonuma up to fail by giving him an impossible timeline (including outright telling him that they would just be selling whatever was ready for the deadline with zero regard for its quality, in stark contrast to "a delayed game can eventually be good" when talking about his own work), which didn't exactly leave a lot of time for developing original content.

I think Zelda is Nintendos first $70 switch game, so at least theres that That said, you could get the voucher That would make it cheaper

*the story being I have 2 copies of BotW but my mom took one and my bro took the other.

BotW story summary (spoilers, technically, but not exactly anything that'll ruin anyone's day):

  • 100 years ago, Link, Zelda, and four Champions piloting four ancient giant robots tried to beat an amorphous evil named Calamity Ganon, except they all got their asses kicked. The Champions died, Link almost died and got sealed away in the fantasy equivalent of cryosleep, Zelda imprisoned herself with Ganon to keep it from destroying everything
  • Link just woke up, and now he has to find four new Champions, reclaim the giant robots that Ganon took over, and go stab Ganon in the face to free Zelda and save the world
  • Link finds four new Champions, reclaims the giant robots that Ganon took over, and stabs Ganon in the face to free Zelda and save the world
That's pretty much it. There's a lot of lore and worldbuilding material that you can find while exploring Hyrule that fleshes everything out more and is enjoyable enough to be worth delving into, but as far as core story goes, that's all you've missed and all that I would expect you to need to know to understand what's going on in TotK (and that will probably be summarized in TotK's prologue).

Now, BotW's still worth playing, and depending on how many improvements TotK has made on the formula it may be best to play it first so it doesn't feel dated when you do get around to it, but that's your call and I can't really comment on how likely that is to end up being an issue.

At this point, the only possibility for a "Switch Pro" is going to be a backwards-compatible successor. We're over 6 years in now, which is the longest that any Nintendo console has gone without news of a successor (the WiiU aside because it lasted less than 5, pretty much every console has come out 6 years after the previous one, give or take a month), so there's every reason to expect that the next hardware announcement will be a new system and not a revision. The OLED is the closest you're going to get to a "pro" model.
