It was better than Breath of the Wild.

You're not wrong, but it’s the kind of shit you keep going back to because nothing else scratches that specific itch. Like yeah, it’s jank, the combat's a mess, the UI was clearly made by space lizards, but damn if it didn’t have heart.

Phew the totk threads were slowing down for awhile. Had me worried. Keep up the good work.

I just think it was a colossal waste of development time. They could have made another traditional 3D Zelda and a new 2D Zelda in the same amount of development time it took to release BOTW with everything autistically rearranged

This I agree with. I was reading my gigantic Zelda book today, and noticed a quote of them saying they made Wind Waker 2 based on the existing game until word from above said "Do a different Zelda". This means TotK was allowed to be BotW2 because nobody above them said anything. A clear sign of regression since Iwata passed away.

This game has caused irreparable damage to the Zelda lorefag community.

The Zelda team also had to be whipped into making Majora's Mask instead of Master Quest first by Miyamoto and there was going to be a Twilight Princess rehash but Miyamoto turned it into a lower budget and time investment spin off. The Zelda team has an insatiable urge to recycle and they NEED someone to whip them

Nintendo rehashes, that's all they ever do.

>>716320339
Bullshit. Worse exploration, worse shrines, worse combat.

>Caves are great level design
The exploration is thus better.
>Shrines were already dogshit
And they're dogshit here as well
>Worse combat
It's the same but you can just keep making every sword into your favorite type of sword.
The content design is superb, the dungeons are just objectively better, and the story is at least a bit more "active" in this game, and the ending is genuinely kino.
So I came away thinking it's fine.
I came away thinking "this is better than Breath of the Wild", and I'm convinced that people only remember the game they had in their heads while playing BotW, but not what the game actually is: An empty, barren Open World game with nothing in it except Shrines or Korok Seeds. When you're finally given a hint of something "mysterious" in BotW, it's a fucking Goron running a mini-game Golf course talked about as "making huge scary sounds". BotW sucked.

insane how they sold a bad dlc as a full game
