Nintendo will release Echoes of wisdom on Nintendo Switch on September 26. While some of the game’s features — like the ability to play as Zelda — have fans excited, some players aren’t thrilled quite ready to move on to the next Zelda game. That’s because some people want to make sure they finish the main storyline Tears of the Kingdom.
TikTok user just_jaynie shared a video on TikTok in which he joked about the upcoming release. The video, which has over 15,400 views, shows sped-up footage of just_jaynie playing Tears of the Kingdom and rushing through the fields and map to complete the game. You can watch the video below.
People flooded the comment section below the video with responses that they, too, had not yet finished the game. The top comment below the video read, “The amount of time I have spent playing this game while assiduously refusing to finish it is mind-boggling.” Another person chimed in, “So we haven’t finished Tears of the Kingdom yet,” with a blushing emoji. Others said they had played the game for up to 90 hours but simply couldn’t muster the courage to challenge Ganondorf.
And TikTok commenters aren’t the only ones who haven’t finished the game. Some of my favorite Reddit posts in the Zelda community are the ones that talk about what distracted people on their way to defeating Ganondorf. In this post for two monthsthe poster told about how they played Tears of the Kingdom and became fascinated by it, but then one day he just abandoned the game. Another person in the same thread chimed in and said they just spend their time running around and collecting bits and bobs to maximize their armor stats.
That makes sense — sometimes you might not want to finish a game because you don’t want to feel like it’s over. But while a up-to-date game can be the push you need to finally tie up loose ends, Tears of the Kingdom will not disappear from the Switch library on September 26th.
