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.
What do you mean “did” lol
Asking in the past tense is making some assumptions.
Exactly what I was thinking lmao
165 hours across 26 days
I don’t know what percentage I finished at but I at least reached my goal of getting every shrine and lightroot. This is a picture I took after finishing my playthrough.
I’m over 80 hours in and I’m not even close to finishing the main quest. I’ve done 2 of the 4 initial temples, lots of shrines and korok seeds, but taking my time and enjoying every new section of the map. Not in a hurry, I’ve been enjoying other games in between. Plus, if this is anything like BotW, I’ll still be playing it 3 or 4 years from now.
I have around 130 hours in now and could finish the main quest, but, as I did with BotW, I’m delaying the end by going after armor sets, doing shrines, and various side adventure/quests instead of doing the final fight.
I have 215+ hours in, not complete at all, i dont even know where to find the percentage complete.
I think it only shows up when you have finished the main quest.
I believe it’s in the map view on the bottom right maybe?
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 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.
Switch says 280+ hours. Some of that was messing around building dumb and fun stuff. Completed all shrines, 111 lightroots, all bubbul gems, 404 korok seeds and I have almost all armors. I really enjoyed hunting down all the caves. Caves and underground were my biggest wishes for this game, and OH BOY did they deliver in that respect.
Edit: 73.99% completion and I don’t plant on attempting 100% lol
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 just started the other day, so about 4. 😋 Just got to the Temple of Time, so assuming I’m about to leave tutorial island.
52.36% at 130 hrs. I felt myself burning out on the game and it was eating up a lot of my productivity so I made a push to finish the main quest. I don’t see myself coming back to the game anytime soon so I’ll probably be stuck at that % and playtime for a while
Where can you see the %?
You can find it when you open the map in the bottom right corner after you finish the game I believe. My switch is being repaired right now, but it’s certainly in one of those corners.
Ah but definitely only once finished?
Yup!
Quit after 10 hours.
Great fuck around in engineering simulator.
Terrible terrible actual game.
I have to disagree that it’s a terrible game, but I’m sorry if you spent money on something you didn’t enjoy. That’s never a nice feeling. That being said there’s still a TON they need to improve if they want to continue with this open air formula. I and many other fans of the game have a long list, i can tell you that. This game is way too free and imo it suffers for it more often than not.
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?
185 hours, 68%. I’d love to keep going, but at the same time I’ve mostly run out of things in game that I feel like completing.
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…
