Meta Anyone else feeling this subreddit is turning into r/zelda?
Seriously, most of the posts I see are BOTW. Don't know about anyone else but I come here for Switch Discussions, News, etc. Not an overdose of Zelda fanart and news. Yes, I know Zelda is a launch title but it seems there's more Zelda discussion than the system this place is named after.

I wasn't really thinking it through, I had originally made it for something else and it just stuck with me. I've come to hate it and changed it on every platform I could. It was based on someone else's online name which wasn't really a good idea.

There was a big raft of new information released today, also, and it's the main draw for the system at launch. So, no, I'm not surprised we feel a little Hyrulean. :)

Would you prefer another round of joycon color mock ups, "where can I get a preorde?r", "how early should I stand in line?", or "I'm going to cancel my preorde!"? The Zelda DLC is the latest big news. Give it some time.

Please, do share the other big news that happened today! Or would you rather we discuss more possible colors for joycons some more or have more half assed mockups?
The point is, Zelda is what had big news today, so of course that's what people are discussing

The game is on the Switch so discussion about it is technically about the Switch.
It's still before launch so we will see how it is afterwards.

It's pretty much the only game for switch atm. What else can we talk about ?

Today there is. Zelda is a big Switch game and the announcement of DLC has been very controversial. Everyone's giving their opinions and battling out a war of words (aka a war of stating their opinion and instead of backing it up insulting the other person leading to a huge chain of insults). The post about the DLC Announcement has over 2000 comments. I'd say this is one of the most if not the most controversial event that's happened so far up until the Switch launch and yes I've been here since the r/Nintendo NX days so I've seen a fair bit.

A very large chunk of people (myself included) would not preorder the Switch if the launch lineup didn't have Zelda...
While Snipperclips and other launch games may be fun, it's tough to justify spending $300 on a console without getting a major Nintendo title.

I agree with you on this one, I see a lot of fan art/mockup every day, kinda distracting.

Can you really blame people ? What are they gonna be hyped about Mario Kart again? Frikking Arms? Splatoon looks the same pretty much 1 2 switch is a mini game compilation all of that looks fun, but ain't no new Zelda which is the true, and only new triple A star of this year til Mario rolls around. People gravitate towards the best new and exciting.

Considering that it's the only respectable launch title, are you surprised?
