As the title implies there will be spoilers discussed but I wanted to begin a conversation about the story of TOTK.

Specifically, did it live up to expectations? What do the events mean for the overall lore of the series? Is there even a timeline at this point?

Discuss!

I got it as birthday present about a week ago and I'm waiting for my yearly vacation to start so I can play undisturbed. And I'm also still debating with myself whether Nintendo Switch Lite is good enough to play this title or should I get proper Switch console before I succumb to neck pain yet again (as it was with Pokémon Violet, fun two weeks and then not-so-fun month after that).

The most recent Zelda title that I have played was Skyward Sword. Story was okayish but I hated the motion controls so much. They were clumsy at best and took a lot of time to get used to and I easily forgot how to use them in a efficient way. And what I have seen from the Breath of the Wild, I would hope to get some more traditional gameplay themes to this new title. Some of the new features do not feel quite Zelda -ish as random order of the memories, weapon durability and weather status effects. But that's just me nitpicking as "older" gamer :-)

As sidenote: My forever favorite will be Majora's Mask because of the story. But Wind Waker comes close second as it is very entertaining to play.
