I had around 150 by the time I completed the game.
Bonus question: what percentage completion do you have?
I’m sitting on 50.5% right now.
I am almost too afraid to ask … Where do you see those stats? Thank you
You see time played in your profile in the switch ui, and you see percentage completed on the map screen after finishing the main quest
Oh ok! Thank you so much!!
I’m on about 40-50 hours. I’m still playing but I checked out mentally after the conclusion of the Goron main quest. Why should I give time and attention to the story when there’s barely any effort put into the narrative and characters? Even worse is when the story treats you like a child. I get it’s supposed to appeal to all including younger audiences but surely there’s a way to do that while making it genuinely interesting as an adult.
The side quests are ok. The exploration isn’t cutting it for me because I’ve already played BOTW, and the novelty of the world has worn off with that. The sky islands and depths, while cool at first, simply isn’t even enough. The copy-pasted sky islands are egregious considering how few of them there are. When travelling to a destination, it’s almost never worth dropping down to check something out.
The new abilities are way better, but again after 10-15 hours it isn’t enough. There’s only so many puzzles involving building something before it becomes tedious because that ability is used EVERYWHERE. The fuse ability rarely makes a difference with its unique attributes it gives to weapons, most of the time being used to just increase damage. You end up just hoarding weapons, then when its time, drop a bunch of materials with the highest fuse power, fuse, use weapons and repeat. It would be the same if all weapons was just buffed and remove the need for that part.
I’m a bit annoyed that the shrine system hasn’t been improved upon or reformed at all. It sucks going into a shrine always knowing what reward you’ll get. Rewards are always equal, but not all shrines are equal. For the shrines where the reward is just finding/unlocking them, why do I still have to go INTO the shrine? Just give me the spirit orb. It’s also great stumbling across a tutorial shrine that teaches you how to parry when I’m 20 hours in.
The new divine dungeons have better bosses, but the dungeones themselves are essentially 5 mini shrines in one with a reward worth less than 5 shrines.
Really disappointing compared to my first 15 hours of BOTW. I’m just glad I’m not playing on the Switch’s hardware. It’s not necessarily a bad game, not at all, and I’ll keep playing it casually… but I’m a bit perplexed at how positive the critical reception has been.
It just seems like this game isn’t for you, and there is nothing wrong with that. Games are entertainment, and if one isn’t entertaining for you, you don’t have to force yourself to play it.
Hope you find a game that you enjoy as much as we are enjoying TotK! Good luck!

Snide much 🙄
Na, it was meant to be a good wish. I want people to enjoy the games. My apologies if my wording made you feel otherwise.
I’ve been spending my time playing shin megami tensei 3. Totk is next on the list
Asking in the past tense is making some assumptions.
Exactly what I was thinking lmao
Quit after 10 hours.
Great fuck around in engineering simulator.
Terrible terrible actual game.
That’s how I felt about BOTW. Great tech demo, not a good Zelda game. I tried 3 times to get into it and couldn’t. Its popularity is still perplexing to me.
Did you enjoy BOTW?
I’m at like 70 or 80 played and Gerudo town isn’t saved yet. Work + loads of things make it so I game a lot less than I want.
At least you’ll savour the time you get to actually game I guess…?
145 hours and I finished at 70ish% map completion.
I did all the shrines and light roots, finished all of the side adventures, and upgraded most of the armour.
I’ve put around 240+ hours into TOTK but not because I am a completionist or anything, it’s mostly because I don’t like using fast travel and I enjoy traveling the world, finding secrets or hidden locations.
But I have to admit that I overdid it, towards the end I felt a little burned out due to this.
Around 150 at the moment, I think. I completed the main game and the main side-quests that I had outstanding but am not really ready to leave, so I’m trying to fill out the Depths map, find remaining shrines and see what little sub-questions and missions I can find before I leave Hyrule for a while and go back to my normal, non-Zelda life.
155 hours, just missing the Gerudo Temple to finish the main story and 3 areas to unlock the whole map.
Where can I find that out? I’ve never noticed a playtime clock on the Switch.
Click your profile at the top of the home screen, on the right side under your account deets should be all your gameplay hours
If you have less than I think 10 days with a game then it says something other than the total hours I believe
I started booting up other games again after about 200 hours. Credits hit, all shrines and LRs found and completed, full energy upgrades.
I haven’t gotten all the gear but of the gear I got, it’s all at least 2-star. I think I’ll probably boot it up periodically now and then to run down gear and get mats to get them all upgraded.
I doubt I’ll ever care to get all Koroks and true 100% map completion, but given enough time, I suppose it may end up happening regardless. Despite moving on to other games again, it’s still quite peaceful and enjoyable in small doses, just like BotW was for me before. I never truly 100%ed the Koroks and map % in that either, but I got pretty far…
I had about 110 when I first best the main story. Since then I’ve been picking it back up in bits to unlock the rest of the depths map and explore islands I’ve missed. Guessing I’m around 130 or so at this point.
There are still a ton of shrines and side quests I haven’t done, but I doubt I’ll ever 100 percent it.
I’m still playing the game, I haven’t completed the game yet and I spent more than 110 hours.
Question: Where can you see your percentage game completion?
Once you complete the main quest it will be visible on the map screen :)
200 hrs
I already beat the game and finished all main quests.
- 152 shrines
- 115 Light roots
- about 365 golden poops
- 19 sage wills.
- about 10 gears missing (this is a guess based on those thay I am missing to complete a set)
- i still have a lot of side quests I didn’t complete.
- 17 wells to go
- i have 42 bubbul gems after getting the gear. I don’t know how many I still need to find.
