Have you ever lost track of how long you’ve been playing a video game? As in, you’ve been so engrossed by how good the game is or how much you can do in it that you can’t stop playing it or arrange your day to put the most hours into it as possible? Depending on the title, that might be a “natural reaction” for you to have. One such title that fits this category is The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. The game came out on the 12th, and 11 days later, people are still engrossed in everything the realm of Hyrule has to offer.
To be fair, everyone will have a different “play schedule” based on what time they have available, and their “progress” will be based on how much time they were able to put in and the pace at which they’ve gone through the story. But the question remains, “How many hours have people been putting into this title?”
That is the question that NintendoLife asked, and since the Nintendo Switch shows playtimes 11 days after a game’s release, they could answer that for themselves and other players. When they polled their co-workers, they got answers from about 30+ hours to nearly 70+ hours. They even admitted that their “sleep schedules” suffered because of the game.
They then went onto Twitter and found some examples of other people posting how long they’ve been playing, and the answers were a bit shocking:
It's been 11 days since the release of #Zelda #TearsOfTheKingdom and you know what that means – your Switch will now show it's playtime on your profile. Drop your time so far below!I feel like I've barely scratched the surface at 65 hours.#GamersUnite pic.twitter.com/UpikAIDOuw
