As in go to the castle to fight the final battle. After hours of running around questing and occasionally just exploring aimlessly, I feel like that capstone ends the fun. Anyone else do this?

    I really enjoy both games and I finished BOTW, but something happened during TOTK. I was more than ready for the final fight, but I kept getting distracted by side quests in the game and in real life. It’s been over a year maybe 2 years now (because time flies).

    For christmas, my youngest asked me to please finish the game for him. So I pick it up and I started playing again. I was proximate to one of the last, maybe the last, fights with Master Kohga, so I gave it to go. It was the stupidest battle because I clearly forgot how to play. I eventually had to unload a stupid number of arrows to just beat him without getting too badly hurt. I’m a resource hog, so I was frustrated to waste so many resources on a fight that should have been so much easier for me.

    I have totally forgotten every mechanism and there is no way I’m ready for the final fight. Heck, I’ve forgotten most of the lore now. 😭

    So I played for a couple of hours which made him happy, but he still very very regularly begs me to finish the dang game.

    Now I see this. Ugh. 😅 🤦🏽

      This is so funny because my kids have been doing the same thing. Why won’t I just go to the next checkpoint? To them it’s nuts.

        The bane of adult responsibilities. Never allowing us to just play play play all time time. 😁

        Perhaps you and I need to make a gaming pact to force ourselves to actually finish? 🙃

        Seriously, why did I invest all those hours only to leave an excellent game unfinished!? 🤦🏽
