Play Breath of the Wild

Not Tears of the Kingdom?

>>713026806
BotW is better

>>713026806
If you haven’t played either of them then play botw. Then wait 5 years and play totk.

Link's ass is so fucking hot in the climbing pants

>>713026712 (OP)
Can I remove the piss filter?

>>713026712 (OP)
Played it on the Wii U, got bored after about 30 hours, and never felt the need to play it again.

Sprinkling your content out over 30km is beyond retarded game design.

>>713026712 (OP)
I made the mistake of fucking up a switch and had to get a replacement, so I had to restart the game. I wasn't very far in but it still annoyed me and now I don't know if I can even enjoy the game. This happened to me with the game Terraria once. I really enjoyed it but I lost access to my account and had to restart. Magic, gone.

Even so I hae no enthusiasm for gaming anymore and I've come to find I'm probably literally retarded. Even if I'm capable of doing anything I'm just so subhuman I can't even properly play a fucking videogame. I don't know what's wrong with me. Nobody cares but I felt like saying this somewhere.

>>713026712 (OP)
i did. it was ok
7/10

>>713026712 (OP)
All that’s missing is a dragon flying and that would be pure nostalgia for me.

>>713026712 (OP)
what am I supposed to be seeing in this webm

>>713026806
>Not Tears of the Kingdom?

Based. Both these games are 11/10 on Switch 2.

>>713026806
Feels like an expansion more than a full game, with less focus on Hyrule itself and shit continuity what with most NPCs not recognizing Link (even some for whom it makes zero sense, like Bolson) and all the Sheikah tech being Ctrl + X'd out the world. Also the decayed weapons are ugly, as is Fusing. The slate felt more purposeful.

>>713026806
That depends. Do you want to be a part of a world, despite moments where there's nothing to do like in OPs webm, or do you want to fly over everything and only ever see it from a birds eye view?

>>713027693
Feels like a mod more than an expansion.

>>713027753
>>713027693
>>713026890
>>713026964
I've only played Tears of the Kingdom (emulated)
What makes BotW better?

>>713027147
>muh content!!!
kys zoomeroid traah

>>713027693
It feels like what old game sequel used to be a lot of the time. Mostly uses the same world from the first game but has new mechanics.

>>713026712 (OP)
No. Hell no. I think I'll stick with real Zelda, thanks.

>>713027693
>shit continuity what with most NPCs not recognizing Link

What? Literally everyone knows Link, or has at least heard of his adventures (even if they don't realize it's you they're talking to)

>>713027463
You're not supposed to be seeing, but feeling
sovl

>>713028340
>It feels like what old game sequel used to be a lot of the time
I wish TotK was like Majora's Mask or Gothic 2, anon

>>713028362
>Literally everyone knows Link
Yeah, literally everyone. Except 90% of NPCs, including anyone in the fucking village he's lived in for 5 years

>>713028335
open world filler content is the zoomer standard, retard.

>>713026712 (OP)
I did twice. I want a new game.

>>713029128
I played BotW and never visited Hateno village. Why would he know specifically. What interaction did you have with him in BotW?

>>713026806
BotW was a fantastic green postapocalypse in terms of tone. It's lonely, it's melancholic, it's beautiful. TotK's half assed gameplay additions don't compensate a vast downgrade in terms of atmosphere.

>>713027929
Everything

>>713027929
The world was designed for botw. The aesthetic and music match the tone of the plot much better because it wasn’t borrowed for the sake of making another game. Verticality isn’t as freely given making exploration of the world the focus.

>>713027124
Not on switch

>>713029643
I'm pretty sure you can beat BotW without talking to any living people at all. It makes no sense for only some people to know Link

I bought totk instead of botw and I regret it.

>>713026712 (OP)
was pretty ballsy of the guy making the video to keep the joycon drift

>>713029643
Yet it is canon to TotK that Link bought the house and met Purah, as is canon that he built Tarrey Town and the Champions' Balladphoto can be found inside the house.

>>713026806
If you've never played either and you're gonna play now just play tears. It's just better to move around the world in with the vehicles.

>>713026890
this is true
if they mashed the best parts of both into one game it would have been unbelievably good
TOTK for instance has really fucking ugly weapons

>>713030181
So you have to cherry pick the 3 characters in the game who have never met Link? Does the Mayor of your own know you by name irl? lol fuck off

>>713030428
My town doesn't have 20 people dicksneeze. Stop defending this dumb shit, there are plenty of people that don't know Link but should.

>>713029643
It's the fact he's the *mayor* and outright says "I haven't seen you around here" even though that's factually false. If going by the first game, Hateno's the player home for 90% of players. If going by the second game, Link and Zelda lived together and it's been years since the timeskip

>>713027693
The explanation that the sheikah tech was all taken to be deconstructed and used in their new towers is one of the laziest hand waves I’ve ever seen. There are tons of areas that should be rebuilt and improved upon that haven’t been touched by the people of Hyrule, but we’re supposed to believe they climbed some of the most remote areas in the world to dismantle giant stone shrines. Not to mention, why would they destroy the field in front of Fort Hateno? The place is basically a war monument. Also they went through all of that effort and left the wall in its same dilapidated state.

>>713030428
There are other inconsistencies like where the fuck are the guardians and other sheikah tech
>it all magically disappeared
Fuck off yourself

>>713026712 (OP)
This game was really good for the first ~30 hours where everything is fresh and you're just exploring and finding stuff and experimenting.
But after that, for me, I got tired of it. The dungeons are too mediocre and the rewards for exploration, you eventually realize, don't feel that rewarding. Just more shrines and golden poops.
But still, it's a great 30 hours and was worth the money.

>>713030428
The opposite. (You)'re cherrypicking the ones that do recognize Link, so much so you're using Purah of all people for your screenshot. Why make a direct sequel if you're going to pretend the previous game never happened?

>>713026712 (OP)
nah I'd rather play oot or windwaker

>>713027929
Champion powers were far better implemtented than the clumsy ghost clone sage powers from TotK.

>>713027147
>used to joke "pits sexo" and "haha sweaty girls sexo"
>now actually get boners when I see pits or a sweaty girl
What happened....

>>713030562
>that the sheikah tech was all taken to be deconstructed and used in their new towers
If only, that's the fanfic players came up with to try and make sense of things. The canon explanation given by Aonuma in an interview is that the tech just... disappeared. It realized it had defeated Calamity Ganon and magically went away. Nevermind the fact Ganondorf, the source of Calamity Ganon, was still under the castle leaking malice meaning Calamity's defeat at the end of BotW was no different than the defeat of the previous Calamity 10000 prior. And the Sheikah tech DIDN'T disappear then, so why would it do so now? What changed? If Link and Zelda didn't go under Hyrule Castle, Ganondorf would've been left there and 10000 years later another Calamity Ganon would've appeared. So how the FUCK did the Shrine of Resurrection, the Divine Beasts, etc. all know to pack up and vanish?

>>713030771
The game's far more enjoyable if, still in the Great Plateau, you use a save editor to get all 900 Korok Seeds right there and then. You still get to explore the entire map, you're just not wasting time with the fucking Koroks and their braindead puzzles.

>>713026712 (OP)
I almost wish I could go back. Sure, the map is too big, there's a lot of reused enemies and not enough weapon types or tools like grappling hooks, but BotW on release was magical. The first couple of NPCs you meet (old man on the plateau, guy who yells at you not to jump off the bridge) really sold the illusion that the NPCs had some special coding and reaction to the shit you did. That plus the chill vibe and all the (novel for the time) environmental interactions made for some peak immersion. I remember spending almost a full irl day around Kakariko, paying attention to all the props and vegetables and animals because it was all crucial for some quest or another. I did all the quests for completion's sake (which isn't amazing in itself, plenty of games have decent quest hubs), but it was way comfier to inhabit the world in BotW than it is in most games.

I respect Nintendo's commitment to dumb fucking gimmicks and physics shit but next time they should just try making a goddamn adventure rpg on a map that's the right size for the amount of shit they have.

>>713030786
>The opposite. (You)'re cherrypicking the ones that do recognize Link, so much so you're using Purah of all people for your screenshot. Why make a direct sequel if you're going to pretend the previous game never happened?

Complete bullshit lol. You have to cherry pick the 3 characters who don't know Link and ignore the hundreds of other NPCs who all say HI to Link.

What's wrong with you?

>>713026712 (OP)
>crossdressing chapter
good game, shame its satanic.
would riju.

>>713030771
I don't know why, but every time I think of all of the disastified BoTW and post honeymoon-ToTK players, I'm reminded of Hogwarts Legacy's post-honeymoon reception.
Everyone loved Hogwarts Legacy until they hit the 20-30 hour mark with the expanded world outside of Hogsmead, and soon realized it was all repetitive copy-pasted shit that just wasted your time with busywork for poor rewards.

>>713026712 (OP)
So fucking glad I played BotW first.
I can't play ToTK without feeling ripped off

>>713026712 (OP)
Literally Kenshi textures just in third person.

For anyone saying TOTK is better to play for a newcomer, I hope botflies lay eggs all over your face. TOTK just adds a load of bullshit on top of what is a great exploration game.

>>713031535
>cherry pick the 3 characters
*Literally* the entirety of Hateno Village for starters. That's dozens of NPCs. Your turn.

>>713031535

>>713031535
Why can't you give a reason why Bolson doesn't recognize you in TotK even after you two canonically met I'm BotW, he built your house and you two were guests to a wedding together?

>>713026712 (OP)
damn that's some thrilling gameplay right there

>>713031535
Anon... FUCKING HESTU doesn't recognize Link. HESTU. How?!

>>713031535

>>713032554
kek

>>713029705
Pretty much. The underground is a waste of time in TOTK, it's just a big coal mine both literally and figuratively. When they announced TOTK back in 2019, I was expecting rebuilt towns all over the place and sky islands, but the game still feels apocalyptic even though it's been quite a bit since BOTW. I don't know the exact time frame, but I wanna say 5 years at least.

>>713026712 (OP)
I already did

>>713032554
If Jesus is so mad about Iran why didn't he do anything 2000 years ago huh?

Jesus was the Trojan horse that failed and succeeded in his mission.
It just that the one that didn't get saved now is ruining the world for everyone else

>>713033420
...but the subject of that pic is Nikki

>>713033420
Link's not talking to Cece in that screenshot.

>>713033151
He was too busy being prosecuted by angry Satanist jews, aka the lost sheep.

>>713026712 (OP)
I actually do rather like the Gerudo Canyon in BOTW because it's expressly one of the few areas in the game that's designed around verticality WITHOUT the need to use the climbing mechanic.
climbing sucks and it takes a lot out of the level design of the whole game

Okay.

I live in Estonia so I basically get to see old town, ruins, castles, nature, and new town so I pretend I live in a game. I've found some interesting spots here.

>>713034237
What if she just moved into town while Link was off doing God knows what? It's not like there are pictures of Link all around town.

What if I never met Flaxel from >>713028362? Who do you think players are more likely to remember from BotW? How many players do you know that played BotW and never upgraded their inventory slots? Why are you using the fucking Google AI Overview thing to try and give you an argument to screencap? You know how pathetic that is?

>>713027929
It's not better unless you like fighting the same 5 enemies for hours on end.

>>713026964
>If you haven’t played either of them then play botw. Then wait 5 years and play totk.
This is my biggest problem with Tears of the Kingdom.
It's such a massive rehash that, despite the fact that I like it more than Breath of the Wild, I feel there is absolutely no reason to play it if you've played Breath of the Wild anytime recently before it.

It's weird, because I can string together multiple Yakuza games in a row, and they similarly rehash and recycle.
I think the different is, though, is that in Yakuza entries you have an actual engaging all-new storyline to go through, all-new minigames crammed in, and all-new sidequests at every corner -- so most of your time is spent doing things you haven't already done in the previous game despite heavy asset reuse since the core combat is the main mechanical carry-over and even that gets overhauled enough every Yakuza game to feel completely different. 4 largely doesn't feel like DLC to 3, and 0 certainly doesn't feel like DLC to 5.

Meanwhile Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are just the same game.
There's new side content, but side content is so sparse in these games that it makes up a tiny fraction of your game time.
You're doing the same korok seeds, same shrine loop, same tower loop, same enemies, the same overworld traversal (since the sky and underground aren't really interesting to traverse), going to the same locations only slightly changed, the combat itself hasn't really changed -- It's just the same sandbox but with some added bells and whistles here and there, and a story also too sparse to consider it transformative from the previous entry.

So I guess the difference between the two is a matter of proportional retread for the player's experience.

>>713027929
It's not better, technically.
If you've played TotK you'll find BotW is the same thing, but has less and more tedious.
The overworld fits BotW better, but BotW to TotK feels like a fighting game in year 1 compared to year 6.

>>713034908
>You know how pathetic that is?

Ooft she's seething like fuck lmao

>climbing was such an important element of the game's design that they disabled it during for every shrine and divine beast
it's a fucking mystery to me why there aren't more people who think BotW's devs are complete fucking retards. Every aspect of the game people enjoy was basically an accident.

>>713035185
>Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are just the same game.

Cool.

>>713026712 (OP)
I have. wasn't that great. maybe if I played Zelda games as a kid I would feel different

https://youtu.be/MQ0UnX5-V-o?t=14

>>713035267
>>climbing was such an important element of the game's design that they disabled it during for every shrine and divine beast

Yet your schizo logic is completely broken. Because you will fart blood that too much freedom is bad and restrictions are good. But when the game puts restrictions on you that's bad.

Absolute schizo psychosis and you're still bleeding out the ass almost a decade later.

>>713035284
I'm not calling either of them bad. I love both games.
But the fact of the matter is that it feels like there's too much overlap between them.

The only way I'd be in the mood to play Tears of the Kingdom after Breath of the Wild is if I'm already in the mood to literally just replay Breath of the Wild, which takes years of detachment to build up.
That's typically not how sequels are. I can play RE2 and 3 after RE1 just fine. They're different games. When I boot up TotK after BotW I feel like I'm just hitting New Game +.

>>713027025

>>713026712 (OP)
id rather play bullet witch, chromehounds, knights contract, ride to hell retribution, and a whole lot of other games than EVER replay BOTW and TOTK
once was more than enough for those games

>>713035208
I'll accept the concession

>>713030032
That seems to be how Nintendo operated when developing TotK.
They ran the assumption that the player did 0% of the optional content, in the event that the player did a bare minimum or a any mixture of it in their BotW playthrough with beating Calamity Ganon at the end.
It could even be that Link never remembered or freed the champions, at the very least though he does recover the Master Sword. The sword however could be explained as recovered after Calamity Ganon is defeated, instead of before.

Like the first interaction with Mayor Reede makes sense in BotW, but doesn't make sense in TotK as the house Link could buy ultimately becomes Zelda's house. The house would've otherwise been demolished.

Continuity issues between Nintendo games aren't unusual though, because they don't really want you to pay attention to that and instead focus on the isolated narrative.

I've only played in moon so I've never dealt with the shitty localization, but it takes him like 3 seconds to recognize Link and then he says "Ah, it's you. It's been a while."

Link is so sexy

>>713035284
What is this supposed to mean? I'm not happy I got sold the same game twice even if it was a good game.

>>713026712 (OP)
I liked Botw/TotK but the game lacks depth. Would be nicer if it leaned more on the hardcore survival/immersive sim thing.

Any games for this feel?

Currently playing through BotW Switch 2 Electric Boogaloo.
I'm glad wind bombs still works.

>>713035894
And Hestu? Why does Fyson say it's my first time in Tarry Town, BROTHER I BUILT THIS PLACE, I GAVE YOU YOUR BLOODY JOB

>>713036163
I've got to be honest, I don't know who you're referring to with those shitty made up English names. Yes, there are some characters who should have recognized Link, but it's not as frequent as some people make it out to be, especially when you consider that he's some random kid they met like 5 years ago and then he disappeared. Do you remember every person you ran into 5 years ago?

>>713035894
That's Hudson, not Bolson.

>>713036284
I'd remember one of the founders of my 5yo town, yeah

>>713026712 (OP)
Tears is way better than BotW. I understand that maybe BotW was better in a historical sense because it was more impressive for its time and had a larger cultural impact - but in a vacuum, Tears is objectively superior.

Played both botw and totk, liked both of them, though I wish there were grander dungeons and a lot more puzzles inside.

>>713031535
This is good bait man, I'm ngl.

>>713036356
The guy who founded the town does recognize Link.

>>713036489
If Echoes of Wisdom was any indication, then I'm excited for the next game.

>>713026806
I am playing it now and I love it. I think people are put off by the initial tutorial part for being too long if they have already played botw. Also the story could definitely be better. It's not a perfect game but it's incredibly good. Gameplay, mechanics and the world are 10/10

>>713036637
Hudson's not the only one living there

>>713034995
So objectively better then, thank you for agreeing that Tears sucks.

>>713026712 (OP)
Done with Breath of the Wild: was playing Link to the Past this morning

>>713033746
I don't mind the climbing mechanic, but I agree with you, Gerudo Canyon is one of the better locations in the game because there's actual structured vertical access points.
I need both in an open-world sandbox. I can't have a sandbox without actual structure somewhere, and also the ability to circumvent those structures if I so please, such as with the climbing mechanic.

>>713034995
You fight those exact same 3 enemies for 80% of TotK.

>>713037127
wtf why does female Link have a third eye?

>>713037349
I think it was supposed to be her tiara?

>>713036426
Tears wasn't made in a vacuum though, it's built on top of and a direct sequel to BotW.

The Zonai from BotW feels so disconnected from what they are from TotK that I feel like there’s an argument to be made that those ruins in Faron aren’t even Zonai. TotK shows the Zonai to be another high-tech civilization completely disconnected from literally everything we could gather from 'em in BotW. Theyre they are presented as an Aztec, warlike tribe and we get the barbarian armor corroborating it. Then here comes the sequel to tell us that those ruins are actually completely meaningless and it just makes me feel completely stupid for even thinking there was something there to begin with. Apparently the Zonai were more advanced than the Sheikah all along. And the worst part is we learn almost nothing about the Zonai during the entirety of TotK. Three whole characters (Rauru, Sonia, Mineru) and their entire civilization's gone for a reason they didn’t care enough to come up with. Also it's weird that Rauru and Sonia don’t seem to have a child. They didn't plan to have an heir to the throne?
It doesn't feel like a mainline sequel but rather a weird spin-off game they came up with to keep people busy 'til the next true mainline title, it feels like BotW + Nuts & Bolts feat. Green Sheikah. Like how do you even make an already completed game feel so much worse?

>>713031263
That’s a wild explanation from him. It somehow makes even less sense than the community one and that one is complete ass. Everything you said is a problem. So is the small amount of remaining sheikah tech that still does exist in totk then. Why did that specific technology magically decide to stay? The transporter system, the lab, the towers themselves. None of it makes sense.

>>713039265
At least one thing gets explained, is that the Purah Pad that they did manage to create, was reverse engineered by Mineru and was utilised for warp gate teleportation built into the Shrines of Light and the Lightroots.

The floating structures in TotK is a massive ass pull though. They're visible from ground level, I don't see how they could've gone unnoticed for the entirety of BotW even with the Upheaval event that shook the earth.

>>713038681
I have never seen a series ruin two secret tribes like BotW and TotK did.
Destroyed the Sheikah tribe of any naunce and mystery in BotW. Yiga clan is gag humor jokes
Introducted a literal mysterious tribe of barbarians and had theorist chomping at the bit but nope ToTK lol.
Everything happens off screen and in cutscenes yet again and relegated to Musouslop "canon" spinoffs AGAIN
This shit is frustrating, why care when Nintendo doesn't?

>>713041328
>"oh man Age of Calamity will be the Halo: Reach of Zelda, it'll show how the world ended 100 years ago it'll be so co-"

>Zelda fucks off to the past and the plot is as non-linear and delivered to you via random flashback cutscenes you can get in any order as in the previous game
Very cool

>>713036426
But it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's a more direct sequel than Majora's Mask, but playing it as a sequel to BotW only makes the whole experience worse because the game's so damn similar and just as long.

I have zero interest in ever returning to these games.

>the puzzles are insultingly easy
>there's no bite or pushback in world traversal or combat, everything is trivial and doesn't require thought
>too many crutches make the game unfun, IE just giving you free fast travel, giving you unlimited inventory space and only limiting your healing and weapons, and even your healing item space is too generous
>the story is completely uninteresting, so much so that you can basically skip the entire game and miss nothing. It's inconsequential by design
>too much of the world is empty and there's nothing meaningful to engage with. rehashed bokoblin camps and korok seeds really don't hold interest
>shrines are too samey
>NPCs are forgettable and again not important to the adventure
>dungeons are unfun because of how they contradict the main game (IE, the whole appeal of breath of the wild is that you can climb anywhere and anything, so the divine beasts are just made of magic anti-climbing metal for no reason)
>besides that, the dungeons are also empty and devoid of the variety of old dungeons. An old dungeon would be a multi-layered complex that might take you half an hour to fully figuire out everything, while peppering in bad guys to fight. Your average BOTW/TOTK "dungeon" can be beaten in a few minutes
>Ganon/Dorf is a complete nothingburger of a villain. Just sits in his castle and does nothing, except maybe send some idiot underling to come after you, basically the malice/gloom equivalent of team rocket with those dumb, ineffective hands

>the puzzles are insultingly easy
That's a fine opinion to have, but please tell me you aren't one of the retards who pretend the older 3D Zelda games had difficult or well design puzzles.

>>713045612
i prefer the puzzles in the Oracle Zelda games.What they lack in ball busting difficulty, they make up for in creativity. Like needing time travel to go through Mermaid's Cave, or Jabu Jabu's belly requiring you to completely understand how water draining and rising works. It's the Water Temple of 2D Zelda games.

I wish they'd make a spiritual successor to Majora's Mask. Had some of the best minigames of the series and was super fun even if the dungeons were mid

Breath of the Wild is a near-perfect adventure game. Ultrahand and Fuse are wrenches thrown into a great formula.

I'm good bro I'll play an actually good Zelda game

>>713048053
Fuck off zoomer it's a bad formula for autistic normalfags

>>713036129
im going to replay totk on 2 eventually
I download botw and ran around a bit its so crazy seeing that game at 60 fps after playing both at sometimes even sub 30
is there any stuttering? I remember in botw getting real bad frame drops when using the slate in forested areas

Mental illness

>>713026806
i emulated both
honestly i find botw more replayable and fun
totk actually feels more on rail than botw

>>713048418
Slit your throat nu-tendie scum

>>713048256
Why are you proving my point?
or you could just sort by most used

>>713026712 (OP)
I did. It was disappointing. I will never play it again. Especially not after TotK (which was even worse) recycled it wholesale.
Nintendo is gonna need to completely change direction to win me back.

>>713026712 (OP)
I tried. For 30 hours.
It's absolute garbage. Boring as fuck.

>>713026712 (OP)
the last good zelda game we will have for the foreseeable future is the links awakening remake

It at least recycled a good game but the changes to the presentation were hideous and undermined the simple-but-effective storytelling.

>>713048256
The most common response to this is "why didn't you use the sort button" but here I'm thinking "why the hell is there so much garbage to collect, when none of it will be useful?" The game makes 99% of all items completely unnecessary because enemies can die to the most basic and braindead attacks. Do you really need meat on an arrow to distract enemies, when they'll die with 3 seconds of coming near you anyway?

>autistic normalfags
Huh

Both breath and tears were the only zelda i couldnt bother to finish. They are fun for a while, but the experience takes a huge nosedive because you realize that you basically exploring an empty world devoid of progress or goal for 100h. You either like messing around with the physics or don't.

Hearts? Doesn't matter, you can just food them
Upgrades? You get all of them in the first few hours of the game
Unique characters? They show up for for an extreme short amount of time and disappear into the aether. You never visit their village or interact with them again.
Interesting cities/villages/quests? Lol, enjoy MMO style garbage
I'm not even going to mention dungeons.

I had a huge blast playing both the tutorial islands of the game or the nude challenge from breath of the wilds but other than this the whole game started feeling pointless to me.

>>713048951
No but it would make for an epic tiktok video

>>713030428
Idiot, not only it's canon that Link bought the house in Hateno, but he had also been living in there for years with Zelda, and yet apparently no one in the entire town recognizes him, all while dicksucking Zelda for building a school. And as this anon said >>713027693 somehow Bolson, the man who rebuilt the house for him, doesn't even recognize him, which doesn't even make sense because Link helps Hudson, his successor, with not only building a whole new town, but even finding a romantic partner.

It makes absolutely no sense how the entire realm knows Zelda who had been MIA for 100 years, but a lot of people don't recognize Link who had actively helped the entire population of Hyrule before and after Calamity Ganon was defeated. And don't even get me started on the Guardians. TotK makes absolutely no sense.

Imagine having taste this fucking terrible

I thought Tears of the Kingdom was a spinoff and not a direct sequel of breasts of the wild.

i don't like totk but i like botw
i don't want to fuck around with gay contraptions every 5 minutes, i just want to be link and play the fucking game

>>713027929
Whole world, aesthetic, music choice, etc. etc. were designed together.
Without TOTK's vehicles the game is a much slower burn. Incentivizes you to actually get off your horse and see what's out there in the mountains/forest/canyon/etc.
The machines can be fun to dick around with, but they badly condense the world and make exploration little more than just flying from point a to point b, rather than contenting with the terrain itself.

>>713048462
I always found it odd that people find BOTW more enjoyable with replays. Then it dawned on me. TOTK has too much extra padding in terms of its mechanics. All the cool stuff you want to do is locked behind dozens of hours of gameplay to increase your battery. The extra areas are so empty that forces you to engage with. So to get to the fun you need to endure 10-20 hours of unfun.

>>713049648
>breasts of the wild
Imagine...

>>713036129
I never finished totk and have been continuing it on the s2. The framerate and clarity are really nice upgrades. Emulatorchads were eating good.

Already played it, had my fill.
TotK wasn't a good follow-up.

>>713026964
Literally me right now playing TotK 7 years after not touching a Zelda game since BotW

>>713026712 (OP)
I finally did, I liked it a lot. No idea what /v/'s problem is. Probably get TOTK next year since BOTW is so fresh in my mind still

>>713045026
>>dungeons are unfun because of how they contradict the main game
Absolutely not.

I’m bored with BotW. What games scratch that itch? TotK was okay but I lost interest after 100 hours.

>>713051381
I mean, if they truly wanted to embrace the "do what you want and go where you want" philosophy, why not just let you climb every surface? Infact, if the games espouse non-linearity and breaking regular progression, why not let you get into the divine beasts without the sidequests in the first place?

Looks boring as fuck. Do Nintendo fans think this shit looks pretty or something? Fucking Mario Sunshine looks better what the fuck is wrong with retard zoomers?

>>713026890
i wouldn't have 100% the game if it wasn't for bomb launching and that other glitch that lets you fly while holding a bomb while mashing left-right

>>713051449
Because the game isn't a fucking monolith. YOU are the one claiming
>they truly wanted to embrace the "do what you want and go where you want" philosophy

>>713051796
>Because the game isn't a fucking monolith.
Oh yeah? Look at the developers and tell me that.
