If you just want Zelda, a singleplayer game with no expiry / pressure to play while others are playing, you could consider waiting for emulation to catch up. I’m currently enjoying a bunch of singleplayer Switch games on my PC.

Not sure of the official CAD prices, but the $80 USD digital / $90 USD physical game price is $113 / $127 CAD. Absolutely bonkers when compared to Steam, especially with sales.

Yeah, once I moved permanently to piracy I've noticed I actually have way more games than I know what to do with.

I still haven't finished BOTW, and there's also TOTK to play after that. I also haven't played Skyward Sword ever and I replayed WW and Twilight Princess in the meantime.

Really, I can't fathom getting excited for digital media at this point. There's so much to enjoy, I genuinely believe that any sort of "hype" is just consumerism taking hold of unsuspecting individuals.
