How many hours did you all spend in TOTK?
How many hours did you all spend in TOTK?
Click your profile at the top of the home screen, on the right side under your account deets should be all your gameplay hours
If you have less than I think 10 days with a game then it says something other than the total hours I believe
@R00bot most people had only played the game for 75 hours at some point haha.
Haha, so true.
BTW I did a quick search and didn’t see your numbers. 😀
I started booting up other games again after about 200 hours. Credits hit, all shrines and LRs found and completed, full energy upgrades.
I haven't gotten all the gear but of the gear I got, it's all at least 2-star. I think I'll probably boot it up periodically now and then to run down gear and get mats to get them all upgraded.
I doubt I'll ever care to get all Koroks and true 100% map completion, but given enough time, I suppose it may end up happening regardless. Despite moving on to other games again, it's still quite peaceful and enjoyable in small doses, just like BotW was for me before. I never truly 100%ed the Koroks and map % in that either, but I got pretty far...
Probably unpopular opinion but I burned out on BOTW before I even beat 2 divine beasts, and felt like I beat all the shrines I could get to without getting one shot by enemies in the area so kind of felt totally stuck… I haven’t even picked up TOTK yet as I figured it would be more of the same.
And they kept that annoying weapon breaking mechanic which I always hated… been getting around to playing BOTW again with mods before moving on to TOTK, but also heard about the pretty awful performance on Switch so will probably buy it but just play on emulator to get a decent frame rate or wait for a Switch 2 and pray for backward compatibility support like PS5 has for PS4 games to get better performance.
I have for sure ran into performance issues during really demanding sections. I think the honest take is, as a switch game, the resolution and framerate are lower than if this was on Xbox Series X. At the same time, I think it's high enough that the game still looks great and quite stable. We aren't talking Pokémon Scarlet type constant frame drops for no reason. Performance issues were very rarely a concern - I think the game is well designed and it truly is something where a significant frame drop won't happen for multiple play sessions.
Quit after 10 hours.
Great fuck around in engineering simulator.
Terrible terrible actual game.
145 hours and I finished at 70ish% map completion.
I did all the shrines and light roots, finished all of the side adventures, and upgraded most of the armour.
I'm on about 30 hours. I'm still playing but I checked out mentally after the conclusion of the Goron main quest. Why should I give time and attention to the story when there's barely any effort put into the narrative and characters? Even worse is when the story treats you like a child. I get it's supposed to appeal to all including younger audiences but surely there's a way to do that while making it genuinely interesting as an adult.
The side quests are ok. The exploration isn't cutting it for me because I've already played BOTW, and the novelty of the world has worn off with that. The sky islands and depths, while cool at first, simply isn't even enough. The copy-pasted sky islands are egregious considering how little of them there are. When travelling to a destination, it's almost never worth dropping down to check something out.
The new abilities are way better, but again after 10-15 hours it isn't enough. There's only so many puzzles involving building something before it becomes tedious because that ability is used EVERYWHERE. The fuse ability rarely makes a difference with its unique attributes it gives to weapons, most of the time being used to just increase damage. You end up just hoarding weapons, then when its time, drop a bunch of materials with the highest fuse power, fuse, use weapons and repeat. It would be the same if all weapons was just buffed and remove the need for that part.
I'm a bit annoyed that the shrine system hasn't been improved upon or reformed at all. It sucks going into a shrine always knowing what reward you'll get. Rewards are always equal, but not all shrines are equal. For the shrines where the reward is just finding/unlocking them, why do I still have to go INTO the shrine? Just give me the spirit orb. It's also great stumbling across a tutorial shrine that teaches you how to parry when I'm 20 hours in.
The new divine dungeons have better bosses, but the dungeones themselves are essentially 5 mini shrines in one with a reward worth less than 5 shrines.
Really disappointing compared to my first 15 hours of BOTW. An upside is I'm not playing on the Switch's hardware.
It just seems like this game isn’t for you, and there is nothing wrong with that. Games are entertainment, and if one isn’t entertaining for you, you don’t have to force yourself to play it.
Hope you find a game that you enjoy as much as we are enjoying TotK! Good luck!

Snide much 🙄
245 hours and counting - though slowed down a lot lately.
I did all main quests, side adventures, shrines, and lightroots, and have been focusing on armor upgrades and side quests mostly now.
200 hrs
I already beat the game and finished all main quests.
255 hours for around 76% completion
That’s for all shrines, gems, wells, sage wills, and bag slots unlocked. I guess there’s a pretty hefty weighting to the rest of the Koroks?
