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.

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.

Protect your Galaxy Tab S11 with a cover that's both versatile and stylish. The Book Cover magnetically attaches to your Galaxy Tab and lets you stand it in both horizontal and vertical positions, so you can easily adjust the angle for reading, watching videos or working.
 

Does this cover have a spot to keep/store/protect the s pen?

No it does not. They removed the spot that the previous model had. Hate that it was removed.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Gaming Laptop. Enjoy everyday gaming with this ASUS notebook PC. The AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 16GB of RAM let you run graphics-heavy games smoothly, while the potent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics produce high-quality visuals on the fast 15.6-inch 165hz QHD display. This ASUS notebook PC has 1TD SSD that shortens load times and offers ample storage.
 

Which will be a better overall purchase? Ryzen 9 w/ 3070 or 11th gen i9 w/ 3060?

I wrestled with this as I am still in my exchange period. I still want to keep the g15. My reason better bang for the same price. Raising the resolution of the 16 and still only a6 gig 3060 is my concern. If it were a 3070 I would have exchanged … at the same price. Anything higher price diminishing returns kick in. Also 16:10 equals black bars and not all game support it. Battery life and intel heat. If you rely on true thunderbolt you really have no other option than the M16.

Will setting in-game resolution to 1080p look bad on the 1440p display?

Depends on the games for the most part it looks great. At least anything made in the last 10 years.

What is the wattage of the 3070 in this laptop? Also if I want to install another ssd, would opening the back cover void warranty?

TDP is 100. Plenty quick. It’s a trade off higher TDP equals heat and battery life. So you need to decide if you have it on your lap and want portability or will it be sitting plugged in always. If so. I would look at Alienware but 2k screen… that is what grabbed me.

How often do ASUS models like this get restocked? I'm hoping it will become available before collage starts again.

Based on history every other week. You have to check daily, that is how I snagged one.
