If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage respectively. Some of that is reserved for the OS. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes up over 18GB of storage all by itself. Other must-have titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield tap out at 13.5GB each. There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.

The Great Sky Island is where you’ll spend the first hour or three of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, learning the ropes in a format that’s fairly similar to Breath of the Wild’s Great Plateau — but here, and in the first area of Tears of the Kingdom’s main quests point you to, you will require a way to stay warm in cold weather environments, or risk losing hearts fast.

How to Stay Warm and Not Take Damage

Aside from eating cooked peppers and sunshrooms added to your food recipes or making elixirs from warm darner dragonflies, the best way to stay warm is to find warming Armor, and one piece of armor on the Great Sky Island just happens to fill that role: The Archaic Warm Greaves.

Space Davy Jones, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week’s reset. If you’re looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he’s got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

We’ve rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as soon as players completed the initial Great Plateau tutorial era, it was possible to grab a paraglider and sprint straight to the game’s final boss, clearing the game in under an hour. Based on our time with the game so far, it seems like a similar path is available in the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, albeit with a key difference from its predecessor.

Just like in Breath of the Wild, in Tears of the Kingdom you can finish the game’s “tutorial” of sorts on on The Great Sky Island, and then go straight to the end of the game.

Frictional Games announced that it has delayed Amnesia: The Bunker to June 6. The decision to postpone the game was to fix issues regarding rare crashes that were difficult to identify and replicate.

In a two-minute video from creative lead Fredrik Olsson, he explained that the game is currently undergoing a certification process and there needed to be more time to fix the crashes before releasing.

“The alternative, of course, I guess would have been to ask the team to work weekends or nights but that’s simply not something we do here at Frictional,” Olsson said.

If you are playing Tears of the Kingdom, (we hope you are), you’ll absolutely need this interactive map of Hyrule! The in-game map is helpful, (here’s how to reveal it by finding all of the Skyview Towers), but if you want to set a destination, like those Towers – or Shrines, Great Fairies, or Korok Seeds – and just knock them out, we’ve got the locations for everything in the interactive “TOTK” map. The map of Central Hyrule holds more surprises than you’d think. We’ve found them all.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an enormous beast with an incredible amount to see and fuse, but just how long is it? Here we’ll let you know exactly how many hours it took different members of the IGN team to finish the story, and what they prioritised doing with their time.

How Long is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

• Our fastest player finished it in 60 hours.
• Our “slowest” player spent 82 hours before credits rolled.

Everyone plays games differently, so read on for more details about how everyone played, how long it took to reach the credits, and how much extra time players spent exploring the world.

Nintendo has no plans to cut the price of its Switch console until April 2024 at the earliest, according to company president Shuntaro Furukawa.

“Currently, there are no plans to reduce the price of our hardware during this fiscal year,” he said during a Q&A session with investors following the release of the entertainment giant’s most recent earnings report.

“On the other hand, while we also have no plans to raise prices, the yen continues to be weak, and procurement costs remain high, so we will continue to monitor the situation carefully.

It’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s launch day, and while many players are sitting back, relaxing, and ready to enjoy the dozens of hours of gameplay ahead of them, speedunners are instead looking for ways to break the game.

As reported by VGC, the time trials have officially begun. Zelda speedrunner gymnast86 has already published a video of himself beating Tears of the Kingdom in 94 minutes. Viewer beware, the video naturally contains the biggest of spoilers, but can be viewed over on gymnast86’s YouTube channel for those interested.

In the six years since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a Twitter account called “@CanYouPetTheDog” has exploded in popularity simply by cataloging whether or not dogs in various video games are pettable. In Breath of the Wild, unfortunately, the answer was no.

And, even more tragically, the answer to whether or not you can pet the dog in Tears of the Kingdom is… still no.

Dogs in Tears of the Kingdom function exactly the same way they did in Breath of the Wild.
