Includes a smart map mode which shows your last 200 hours of activity. Neat.
Also includes a hard mode and a horde mode.

Trial of the Sword
When you get to a certain sacred location, you can take on the new “Trial of the Sword” challenge. Face an onslaught of enemies, one wave after another. Link starts the challenge without any equipment or weapons. When all the enemies in a room are defeated, Link proceeds to the next. Clear all the trials (about 45 rooms in total), and the true power of the Master Sword awakens.
Quote:
Hard Mode
In Hard Mode, enemies gradually regain health, so take them out as quickly as possible. All enemies are also powered up by one level. For example, Red Bokoblins in Normal mode are now Blue Bokoblins. Enemies can also have higher maximum levels than they would in Normal mode. Look up, and you may also find enemies and treasure chests in the sky!
Also includes some cool armor.

For anyone interested for Mario Kart, here is my friend code: SW-2212-7437-2622 and my Nintendo username is Tangroo.
I will provide the disclaimer that I'm a little rusty and probably older than most of you, so don't expect much in terms of time commitment. But so far I'm quite liking this game. Really slick and enjoyable, including my brief attempt at online play.
The thought of a Calgary Puck tournament is intriguing, but I'm not sure how that works yet. Would everyone have to be online simultaneously (good luck with that!), or would individuals race the CPU when they've got time and then the rankings/times would be aggregated?
I'm finding I'm actually pretty good at it. Won 14 out of 37 races I've done online, which considering they're 12-person races I think that's pretty darn good. Even when I have a bad race/luck I rarely finish outside the top half.
It might be more in the CP wheelhouse to have some kind of 'Time Trial' challenge -- we pick a course and people get a couple days to get their best time on it. Take a screenshot, best lap and best full run get recognition. Maybe I'll throw something together tonight, could even start a new thread.

So after playing Mario Kart with some friends it looks like I'm getting the left joy-con sync issue. I guess I never noticed because I was only playing Zelda with the pro controller.

I sent mine in last Monday, and it arrived back yesterday. I tested it out last night and it seems to have been solved.
The process was actually pretty smooth. You get to talk to a human at Nintendo (I was expecting automated menu hell), and they give you instructions on sending it back at their expense.
Nintendo is one of the few companies that didn't get the memo that customer service is supposed to be a painful experience. Always had a good experience with them.
Up to 101 shrines, still have one more divine beast to hit. Maxed out my stamina wheel, and it makes a big difference for cruising around. It also really makes killing Lynel's easier, becuase you can use a club weapon and just start spinning.
After about 2 months with the system now I think that from a pure hardware perspective this may be my favorite system ever.
It may not be the most powerful piece of hardware and will never be able to do what my Xbox One or PS4 Pro can do but from a pure functionality perspective I really love it.
As a portable it is great, and it's just as good when docked as an at home console. Being able to start a game on the big screen and then just pick it up to play as a handheld when the wife wants to watch something on TV really adds to the enjoyment.
I surprisingly like all of the different ways to play, whether attached to the console, in the grip, in separate hands, or even as tiny remotes sideways it seems to all be comfortable enough in my hands.
Now Nintendo and the Third Parties just need to not let me down and give me some more great stuff to play on this thing.

Agreed. Nothing the switch does hardware-wise is a let-down. Amazing gear in a tiny package. I'm reaaally hoping Nintendo views it as a "hand-held" and releases a for-real Pokemon game for it. Dear god I'm hoping.
Really excited for Splatoon with local multiplayer as well.
