Save Hyrule~this time with the wisdom of Princess Zelda! The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts~with a certain swordsman as well as the King of Hyrule and his advisors among the missing. Left alone, it~s up to Princess Zelda to save her kingdom in a brand-new adventure in The Legend of Zelda series! Team up with the ethereal creature Tri and use the Tri Rod to create ~echoes,~ which are imitations of things you find in the environment~then recreate those echoes whenever you like to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Use echoes like water blocks to reach new heights, make bridges out of old beds, throw rocks at foes, or find your own combination of echoes to do things your way. You can even make echoes of monsters to fight at your side in combat! Use a variety of abilities to conquer rifts and dungeons across a vast Hyrule. To close the rifts to the Still World and save the people trapped inside, Zelda and Tri must first enter each rift. Once inside, they must use their combined powers to traverse broken terrain and dungeons with challenging bosses. You'll need more than just your echoes to get past all the obstacles in your way. Use Bind to make objects follow Zelda~s movements, or Reverse Bond to follow an object~s movements. You can also use a mysterious sword to transform into the powerful swordfighter form for a short time. With these abilities at your disposal, you~ll be fully equipped to tackle each challenge in your own way! Your search for the rifts will span far and wide and bring you into contact with plenty of folks who will make requests of you. Luckily you can use waypoints or a horse to get around! Travel off the beaten path to discover side quests and minigames. As you explore Hyrule, you~ll encounter all kinds of interesting folk~those dealing with problems great and small, and even some that just want to give you a fun challenge! You~ll even meet the engineer Damp~, helping him to create automatons and use them to attack and stun enemies. Equip accessories and visit Smoothie Shops for bonus effects. Try on different outfits and accessories to gain various effects such as increasing appearance of hearts or ability to jump higher. Visit a Smoothie Shop to blend up your ingredients into tasty drinks capable of replenishing your hearts and granting temporary bonuses like resistance to electricity. Scan any The Legend of Zelda themed amiibo figures to get rewards, like smoothie ingredients and certain outfits in alternate colors. amiibo sold separately. Nintendo.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I did not have the original pair forms years, therefore for me ..it was perfect. I can see what 1st gen owners would be upset, my advice if you have gen 1….don’t upgrade. They made them seriously be proud of gen 1…other companies are still competing and not coming close.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Ultraportable Gaming Laptop. Enjoy everyday gaming with this ROG notebook PC. The AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 16GB of RAM let you run graphics-heavy games smoothly, while the potent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics produce high-quality visuals on the fast 14-inch 144hz FHD display. This ASUS notebook PC has 1TD SSD that shortens load times and offers ample storage.
 

Can I set the refresh rate to 75Hz instead of 144Hz?

Not than I am aware of. Won’t mater in frame rate at 1920

Changing the the cpu/wattage will void the warranty? I was prompted that asus will not be accountable for any direct or indirect damage from changes to those parameters. I would change these to lower the cpu/gpu temperatures when gaming.

No. Armory crate is in n the machine from ASUS. If it can’t handle it it will just back it down and throttle.

Is the whole chasis aluminium or plastic?does the full chasis feel like a macbook pro or does it feel cheap?

Feels solid nothing is going to feel like a MacBook Pro. But at this size everything was tight and solid build. Apple is a solid metal body… and you pay for it lol. I know. I have one.

Does this laptop came in black color ?

No not this actual model in the US. At least not at Best Buy. Only in silver as shown. Incidentally I returned mine for the G15. Nothing wrong with the G14 I just wanted the bigger screen and QHD. And was not fond of the whites backlight and on silver keys. Other than that no complaints on performance. Same price btw for the G15.
