Guide Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: All Bubbul Gem Rewards - What Are Bubbul Gems?
Puzzul Bubbul
Bubbul Gems are a brand new collectible in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. You'll likely get one of these as early as the Great Sky Island, but the game doesn't really tell you want to do with them — it just gives you a vague description of what they are and tempts you to collect more. Fear not, that's what we're here...

Opinion It's Time To Get Rid Of Fall Damage
Free faller
Falling. It hurts, right? We’ve all tripped up over nothing while walking and scraped our knees, or tripped up the stairs and landed face-first. It’s not fun. It’s embarrassing, it's painful, and it stands as a persistent reminder that I am the most clumsy of human beings. There’s a reason we can't jump off of buildings and...

Nintendo has announced it will be releasing paid "Switch 2 Edition" upgrade packs for select Switch games, but it seems there's a catch.

Random Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Depths Hide A Mysterious, Unused Big Hole

You know, we had a sneaky suspicion that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would have some legs on it.

Hands On I Didn't Think I Could Love BOTW Or TOTK More, Then I Played Them On Switch 2
HD-hyah!
Folks, I am not a graphics or frame rate snob. I grew up playing 50hz games and my main system of choice is an eight-year-old tablet. I love style and art over visuals, and sometimes I even tolerate rough framerates. I might be a little more unforgiving in 2025 than I was a few years ago, but look, I want good games, good experiences, not...

Fortunately, it seems previews have been...
Hands On Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Indulges Your Idiocy In The Very Best Way
This just in: Bokoblins hate apples
To say there’s been hype surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would not just be an understatement, but a fairly poor opening line to any sort of hands-on feature. On an unrelated note, Nintendo recently invited us to go and have a go at The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at their...

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!
Best E3 Ever!
Can't wait to look back on this comment 2 years from now.
2021? Is that just a placeholder?
Hey, me in the future. I hope you love this game as much as you loved the first one. I hope everyone else does too. Lmk how it goes, k? I'm setting a reminder to look back here in exactly one year to see how much we know then compared to now. See you then!
Hello to everyone, im from the past. 2019
I need. I NEED!!! I NEED THIS GAME
This game had better come out next year, I ALREADY CAN'T TAKE THE WAIT
I need this game
Also future self please remember that you were so hyped in 2019
@Salmonite17 Dagnabbit. I literally know nothing more. Here's hoping I know more next June 11. One year ago today this game was revealed, so I hope that next year I actually know more this time.
why does it say 2021 it has not been confirmed yet
If the title of this one isn't "Depths of Malice" I will be disappointed with Nintendo's punning instincts
@MegaManga ohhhh, Kay?
GIVE US SOME SORT OF UPDATE
all the comments be like "hello to the future"
I cannot wait for this game to release. I need this game. I need the lore!
I also am looking forward to this title, although I've actually never played the original, but however I do own a Switch... I wonder which older titles will be released for the 35th anniversary of the franchise, like for example I'd like to see classic Zelda games like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess or maybe Skyward Sword...
@BitLounger and still be waiting haha
@Salmonite17 disappointed?
We were told we would get news this year. Hopefully E3 or a dedicated direct
i'm still waiting for an update on this game. i hope it's not a switch pro exclusive.
I’m sending this message to the past…. Don’t hold your breath lol
Hoping for a Wii U port
I'm very hyped, can't wait!
February Nintendo direct pending 2022. BOTW2 news unlikely, but we can hope. Definitely don’t get your hopes up 2019 people
CANT WAIT FOR ITS RELEASE GODDAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN
@BitLounger that went well
So looking forward to this. I love the original.
Looking forward to this. I love the original.
Looking forward to this. I love the first one.
Tears of the Kingdom... This is gonna be beautiful.
I want everyone to know, IT WILL BE GOOD.
Hi is so good to know that yall are excited to play that game
@Legend9710 Yep, I am.
i absolutely loved breath of the wild, so tears of the kingdom will be epic. i sure hope that the original map will be severely upgraded and have more enemies.
i wonder what the final battel will be like?
12th May 2023. Little time left from here on. Is it like Majora's mask underground. A little maybe I think so a little but more in the sky. Like Skyward sword and a little with Breath of the wild. Mix Zelda game. Can we play with Zelda? Can we play with young Link?
The game is great, be sure to play it!
BoTW kind of expectation will ruin this game, Another Zelda flop incoming, dont say i didnt warn you guys...
Ok heres how i think this is all gonna go zelda and link head into this underground place following the malice there they find Gannon imprisoned his body his soul i guess leaking out was the Calamity forms. But Link touches him he is free link dives for Zelda his arm cursed…
Ok so think Gannon had been imprisoned by a previous generations heros before during the height of the Shieka empire. Done via some kind of technomancy. But his soul has seeped out and through its power and influence it created a underground city of sorts to support the war…
So I think we will see power in these sky dungeons open air shrine like places before we dive into this mega dungeon a underground fortress full of enemies and Gannon at its center…
@Wizzy25 I would say that final trailer last week must have shut you up.
@BitLounger so, it's four years later... how do you feel?
@antdickens Honestly? Sad that I have had 0 time to even purchase this game LOL
@BitLounger oh dear — however I totally understand, I imagine I’m the only member on our team that hasn’t played this yet. I still need to finish BOTW 😇
This game was so much fun I loved it so much its 5X better then breath of the wild u must try it
