Recommendation: a goofy, silly, fun, new-to-me ZeldaTuber

[brightknightie]

Recently, I added a goofy, silly, fun ZeldaTuber to my line-up: QuinBoBin. While normally I look for the deep lore theories -- the more complex and fraught the better (you've met me) -- I've recently needed some light, cheerful, pick-me-up content, and this hit the spot! Quinn specializes in edited playthroughs, glee in how fun games are, and cheeky yet comfy commentary that boasts expert gameplay to self-deprecate bumbling gameplay.

Quinn laughs a lot and never has a harsh word for anyone or anything (occasional Korok launches excepted). The closest I've yet heard was a mild, passing reproof to the sad online folks picking on others for having fun with EoW (girl cooties, you know).

If you're already done with (or thoroughly spoiled on) Echoes of Wisdom, try Quinn's EoW playlist. If you're remaining unspoiled, there's TotK, TP, and many others. (Yes, Quinn does draw the thumbnails.)

Re: a Switch II for me

The Reddit folks you cited here brought to my mind the early days of Pokemon GO, when some folks asked that same question, and literally had to be told: "Stand up and walk in the real world." ;-)

Do you usually play on the handheld itself, or do you usually cast to your TV or other big screen? My one in-person friend who plays is part of a big gamer household -- her husband works for a game company -- and they always play docked, and have a "tree" of assorted controllers next to their giant TV (hers, his, their kid's). The hosts on my favorite Zelda podcast, on the other hand, generally prefer to play on the handheld.

I definitely intend to follow the main storylines! I just won't be surprised by them... I think. ;-) We shall find out when the Switch II (or whatever they call it) comes!

I strongly prefer to play on the TV. Particularly with BOTW and TOTK, the worlds are so gorgeous that I like to see them.

(That said, I have taken the switch on trips and will play. But I generally save any important quests, etc. to play on the larger screen.)
