Ordered! #277215!

YES!!! I got the 2016 box set of the Maestro’s scores, I got the 2022 remastered and expanded release of Jurassic Park, and soon, I will have this!

This will be an instant purchase! Too bad it is two years out. Shoot!

I’ve completed everything else. I made it to the ultimate clash; everything the story has been building up to. I won’t give anything away for those who have not gotten there yet. I will say this. The build-up, the confrontation and finale were phenomenal. Also, the music… Wow.

After over 250 hours of play time, I’ve completed all 152 shrines, every side adventure, all but one side quest (Where Are the Wells?) and all but two of the main quests (Find Princess Zelda and Destroy Ganondorf). I've explored all of the Depths and all the Sky Islands. I’ll be exploring any unexplored areas of Hyrule, including caves (I feel like finding the rest of the Bubbulfrogs and collecting the bubbul gems) finishing the one side quest left, and then locating the rest of the armor sets before fighting the Demon King. This has been a masterpiece of a game; the story is great, the game-play is engaging, and the music is great too.

The more I see the film , the more I love it. I can’t wait until it comes out on 4K Blu-ray. Also, every time I see the film, I notice more details in the Maestro’s score that make it even more phenomenal, all the more wishing for the complete score to be released (along with the rest of the Maestro’s work, of course). I REALLY hope we get a score-only version of the film.

I just got out of seeing it the third time. Nailed it right on the head. Shared sentiments all around. Heck, I’ll be seeing it a few more times (the wait for the 4K Blu-ray release will be quite a bit, possibly until mid-November or December); not only is it a great finale to the Indiana Jones Saga, but I intend to memorize as much of the Maestro’s score as possible. All of it was prominent and clearly heard in the sound mix. Some theaters don’t have the proper set-up for the sound mix, which is unfortunate. Fortunately, mine did.

I saw the film last night, and will be seeing it again this weekend. Very well done. Also, Maestro John Williams’ score just goes to show you that the man has not lost his touch. I cannot wait until the film is released on 4K Blu-ray.

This was a really nice interview with the Maestro.

YES!!! This is so great!

A week from today!!! I cannot wait to experience this film and the Maestro's score (yes, I am seeing the film opening night).

I am saving them up to convert to energy cells. I'm waiting until I accumulate at least 4,300 crystallized charges; that should be more than enough to provide all 16 energy cells. What exactly do amiibos do? I am contemplating getting Link from Tears of the Kingdom, and now definitely considering getting these two as well.

Oh, yeah. I've noticed that too. Makes things more challenging. I've also noticed that blood moons seem to happen more frequently than they did in Breath of the Wild. It not only spices things up; it makes sense story-wise as well, as the Demon King is the source behind it. Calamity Ganon in Breath of the Wild was merely his hatred made manifest.

That was the only thing I did not realize; that Lynels are under stables. Encountering the larger monsters in the Depths the first time is…terrifying. @Jay, I have not even mentioned the best part regarding monsters in the Depths. I’ll let you discover that yourself. All I will say is that something occurs after you finish investigating the Regional Phenomena.

I’ve accumulated over 3,400 crystallized charges and explored nearly every corner of the Depths, and found every Light Root with the exception of one. Having the Depths lit up and being able to navigate it is a relief; navigating it in total darkness was a nightmare; having 999 bright bloom seeds DEFINITELY helped. Also, a good tip to note is Light Roots are directly below shrines on the surface. I’ve also found every Yiga camp in the Depths. Another good tip; if you are well prepared, fighting the larger monsters in the Depths rewards Link with large crystallized charges (each equal to 20 regular ones).

Each weekend this month, I have been watching each of the four films on 4K Blu-Ray with Dolby Vision picture and Dolby Atmos sound, building up to June 29th. This makes me all the more excited!

Impressive, @Jay. There is still a lot, and I mean A LOT left to do. I am more or less in the same with you in terms of accomplishments and things to do (though I have completed 110 shrines).

This was so freaking awesome! What a spectacular way to commemorate the final film. Such a wonderful surprise and a joy.

Exercise extreme caution. After accessing a few more light roots, I will do a few additional side quests and then continue investigating the remaining three regional phenomena; most likely I’ll go to Goron City for the next one.

Oh, I also activated all of the Skyview Towers and investigated quite a few of the sky islands. There are still some sky islands out of reach at the moment, which is why I am saving up on zonaite to convert to crystallized charges to increase the amount of battery cells needed to power Zonai devices. That is also why I am exploring the Depths; a lot of zonaite deposits are down there, not to mention the MANY monsters (especially Froxs, Hinoxs, Stalnoxs, Zonai Flux Constructs, and one monster I encountered for a side quest then immediately bolted to avoid fighting it; it is a surprise to encounter when discovered in a specific region of the Depths) that release zonaite and crystallized charges when beaten.

Busy schedule. However, I am quite surprised by how much I have accomplished. I have completed 93 shrines, investigated all the geoglyphs, investigated the regional phenomena in the Rito area, completed quite a few side quests, side adventures and shrine quests. Currently, I am navigating the Depths (still terrifying), trying to light up as much of it as possible via the light roots. However, there is still SO MUCH MORE TO DO. I have been enjoying every part of this story. It blows Breath of the Wild out of the water, and that is saying something.

There are two ways to obtain the Master Sword: investigate the geoglyphs, or investigate the four regional phenomena and continue from there; both options are main quests. I won’t say more due to spoilers.

Yeah, YOUR criticism. @Jay’s analysis and feedback is way more accurate and very welcome. Just pure joy.
