So you're one of these, I always wonder who the hell report things like this.
I'm really curious, why? Unless you're working for Nintendo or something, I don't see the point.

Are any of those screenshots using FSR? The IQ artifacts or whatever are eye watering. Reminds me that we need better HW. Even if the game is good, if performance is sacrificed, no bueno.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I mean, it doesn't run much worse than next gen games like Jedi Survivor

I didn’t follow the leaks, but is there final confirmation if classic dungeons are in it or not. And if so what kind of (theme)?
Seems closer to classic than BOTW, but not classic necessarily.
Fire, Wind, Electric, Water, Castle. As well as a reference to “Soul” but we dunno what that means.

You say that but I'm currently jumping back and forth between both. Survivor on PS5 and TotK on Switch. Both have performance issues and both are amazing graphically. They do a few things in the first few areas of Tears that I didn't think could be done on Switch. Will be interesting to see if Tears gets a pass on performance. Both games are very similar. Amazing games pretty bad performance.I mean, it doesn't run much worse than next gen games like Jedi Survivor

No way this game is below 98-99. Gonna sell like 20 mi in one week, now that Switch sold like crazy

I'm so tempted to just play this on my PC and enjoy it properly.
I never emulate Switch games for some reason, probably because it doesn't feel "official" but it's not like the Switch has trophies or anything, and all of my play time reset with every Switch I've upgraded to anyway.

Really conflicted by what I saw.
Game legitimately looks like BotW 1.5, doesn't really change anything significant structure or progression wise and I didn't have any problem with BotW's formula but I expected something more creative. I'm sure the game will be fun but what a disappointment after six years.

Even the underground that admittedly looks immense doesn't seem to have anything really interesting like tons of creepy new enemies or new races that weren't in BotW, and that basically was the only thing I was looking forward to. Oh well.

Wonder how it runs on Steam Deck. Luckily I have an uncle at Nintendo that has a copy and a Steam Deck and might be able to try it later today!

This is the kind of projects you would love to see running on more powerful hardware...
Wait, the entire game has leaked!? How? I need to read about the details...

Maybe these people all just dumped their own copy of the game that they also happened to get 12 days early.

Come on now, even miss some of us don't have the game, some are legitimately interested to see how it runs on original hardware and are probably going to buy the game, or not. There are others that want to see how it runs emulated because maybe they'll support the game and want to get their own version of it on PC where it will run unrestricted.
You're going to have to assume that there are plenty of people that have got the game already. For me, who barely even uses my OLED switch, I'm just looking for reasons to turn it on because the real thing you should be upset about is the lack of games.
That is unless you like some indie games or the occasional first party game that is either a rehash of something else or just as an all right game. That's the real criticism that I have personally.

So is it possible to pick this up early in the UK?
The Fountain (2006) simply gorgeous film.

I get the complaints that it's similar to BOTW in structure, but all I need to be excited is BOTW finished version with things like dungeons and exploration being rewarded properly. Still hopeful. After all Zelda games were similar in structure for a very long time without an issue. With BOTW the different/new structure was like the main feature. Now that it's in place, maybe they can put things in it.

He's playing you.
The plot is indeed about time travel. In the first two hours, you are hounded by a unstoppable force and at the very moment where everything seems lost, a door opens and you see Ganondorf, coming in hot with a shotgun he was hiding in a bouquet of roses. He incapacitate the unknown menace with a few well placed shots, then turns to you and say "Come with me if you wanna live." in a weird austrian accent. You learn he's a ganon from the future that a small group of resistance fighters hijacked and reprogrammed to make it Link's guardian and protect him at all cost. You see, Link will one day grow a pair and ask Zelda on a date. From this union, a child will be born, John Zelda. This child will grow to be the leader of the resistance against the ancients (whatever name those who created the shrines are called). On 29th of August, 1997 (in the official timeline), someone finally completed all the shrines (in-universe), which woke up the "ancients" central ia which proceed to enslave everyone, as a punishment for spending so much time solving useless riddles.
As a proof, here's a screeshot taken approx 2 hours into the game :

I actually kind of figured they were going to do something like this. Pretty similar to Elden Ring, but this is doing it on a larger scale.Underground Spoiler
They doubled the map. Sky Islands were a misdirection, here's the mic drop.
There's an entire new "tower" mechanic underground to unlock the map. There's an entire BOTW worth of overworld to discover down there, including at least two of the aforementioned dungeons (Gerudo & Goron).

I watched the first 15 minutes on YouTube and it's rough. Same engine, same problems, the game feels unstable and unpolished. Still will play the heck out of it but its not a great effort by Nintendo, probably we will have the definitive version on next-gen hardware.

Very similar progression. It's kinda like a Bloodborne compared to a dark souls. Same progression different item names.
Again so far it may change.
However it's bloody massive and a real treat to explore the world.
Also performance isn't as bad as people are making it out to be in my opinion I think most people will get over it. It's not amazing but Jesus it's not pokemon scarlet bad.
If you didn't like the first breath of the wild you're not gonna like this but if you wanted more of the same with a twist you'll like this.

New overworld map, new music, new character models, new UI, and maybe upgrade from a graphics engine that was made to run on a system from 2012

The graphics are basically the same. The music is amazing so far. The overworld map completely different. UI is mostly the same but the gameplay elements different.

I'm really shocked they use a lot of the same music TBH.

It's going to be a very very divisive game for sure. I think it's going to review very well because it's Zelda but the internet will eat this one and each other alive.
Because of the reused assets etc the Game of the Year awards are going to be super controversial as well.
Prepare yourselves

There are new maps in addition to a changed version of the old map, new characters, new music, upgraded UI / menus and upgraded graphics (draw distance being the main improvement).
Exactly. It's not a full reboot like BOTW was, but it's still a full sequel.

It's not there yet I'm afraid, the emulation on PC has a few issues for sure. Doesn't run on Yuzu at all and has shadow artifacts on Ryukinx but it's good to see a good start. Apparently the 30 FPS mod runs very well ( by default it runs at 20 on emulators it seems) but the 60 has sped up cutscenes.LOZ: Tears of the Kingdom Dynamic fps, static fps, and visual fixes patch collection
