Bruh, I hate how Nintendo only lets you have ONE save file in most of their games, especially in BOTW and TOTK so I have to intentionally try to trigger the autosave and use that as a reload point when I’m not ready to overwrite my only save yet. Like I would load the save, before doing anything, i’d fast travel to a random shrine or town, wait for the autosave icon to pop up, wait for like 5-10 seconds, check the load menu (basically “copying” my only save into an autosave, since I haven’t done anything in the in-game world yet, I can reload this autosave in case I make a mistake with my manual save), and then I go explore a new place or fight some monster.
But they only allow 5 autosaves, so if you explore too long, you can’t revert the state of your world.
What the fuck nintendo?
Also, wtf is a monthly subscription to backup save files?
And for third party games, you cannot export the save files to a pc.
Fuck this bs, worse mistake of my life.
(BOTW was fun, but nintendo sucks, TOTK feels kinda like a clone of BOTW, got so burned out from nintendo games)
BOTW is fun, Nintendo sucks, TOTK is glorified BOTW DLC for standalone release price.
Honestly much better experience emulating them on PC where you have full control over your save files and you can mod if you want. Nintendo could make a lot of money if they officially released on PC but they want absolute control over the hardware and software.
I forgot to check if I could pirate and just went ahead with the switch purchase assuming piracy was impossible. Lol, worst mistake I ever made. Now I have a save file in TOTK half-way done with the game and idk if I would ever finish the game.
You don’t even need a Switch to play Switch games, just a somewhat decent PC. Keep it on the down low though, Nintendo doesn’t like it and they have an army of fanboys who will defend them.
You only need a physical Switch and to dump the games if you want to do everything perfectly legally.
That’s true, I only recently got a computer that could handle switch emulation but I know it’s been around for a long time. It’s probably a lot easier than dealing updates on a modded switch.
But you can’t make a save A, then do something, then make a save B, then decide oops, I wanna revert back to save A because I broke my best weapon and I don’t wanna lose it.
Oh man I loved the underworld. One of the very first things I did in that game was trying to get to all the light roots. Skipped past most of the monsters and treasures, just grinding the travel.
This is what I did. I didn’t even come close to getting 100% of the collectibles, but I really enjoyed my experience with TOTK. I love both for what they are. BOTW to me was a very peaceful and moving experience once I got into it. I hated it at first and hate played through some of the main story then I said fuck it I’ll just get all of the towers and open up the whole map. In doing that I kind of fell in love with the game. The different areas, the scenery, the freedom, the music, it was a great game.
TOTK didn’t have that same emotion from the ambience, but I enjoyed the story and crafting. It did feel like it was missing the uniqueness that I loved in BOTW, but overall it was a good experience. I’d love a similar style game, but in a new version of Hyrule.

Piracy is definitely possible. You just have to find an early switch model, unless you’re good with a soldering iron. I’ve had 2 modded switches for years and there is homebrew that helps you back up your saves. https://www.reddit.com/r/NxSwitchModding/comments/1cpo4r1/how_to_back_up_restore_or_transfer_your_nintendo/

You could make a second profile for an additional save, but then DLC gets complicated.
I always make a second profile to play through Pokemon games a second time.
Right this shouldn’t happen. Rpgmaker makes gives dozens of save files

The underworld on TOTK just burnt me out. There’s so much of it and it’s all so samey and bleak, like if all of Dark Souls was Blighttown.
I took a break of about a year before going back to polish off the story.

I’d assume it is by design. But also fuck Nintendo. Don’t spend money with them. Bet you can save as much as you want when playing in an emulator.
