And noticing that this tweet is already 5 years old is the cherry on top.
The tweet was slightly off then, Gamecube was just released at the end of 2001 and Wind Waker is 2003.
Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were 1999 and 2000 though.
It’s now 2026, so Zelda 20 years ago was:
Breath of the Wild is almost 10 years old.
Why am I still on this thread?? I keep taking psychic damage from Father Time!!!
... and Nintendo still hasn't figured out how to run it at an actually stable 60 fps.
I'm trying to finally finish trials of the sword on master mode... which is only going to be possible due to hacking my switch, backing up my save, transferring it to PC, and finally converting it to a Wii U save to run in Cemu. Glorious ultrawide at 144fps - I only wish I had left myself more of the game to play on a worthy system
Holy shit that reminds me, I'm so far behind on my Zelda shit that I haven't even yet played OoT master quest or whatever its called?
But yeah, its... pretty sad, the state of Nintendo these days.
I think it runs pretty well on Switch 2, no?
And still costs $60/$80 with the DLC!
Yet most other open world games are still struggling to surpass its world design...
Eh....
Except much lower resolution than that.
Don't let Nintendo see this thread 0_0
Tap for spoiler
You wouldn't emulate a handbagIt could be the Wii U version, I suppose, but that's 10 years old.
