Thread 724977001

This is the best Zelda game. Say something critical of it. Hard mode: be original, no repeats.

no shrine on shrine island

>>724977001 (OP)
Replaying this on Switch 2, with HDR, 4K, 60fps is a pure dream.

>>724977001 (OP)
Still can't pet the dog. That's all I can think of.

>>724977001 (OP)
Are there even any dungeons in this shit? Are you able to acquire Link's classic green tunic + pointy hat without amiibo bullshit?

there's a quest where you have to find a horse and if you already found that horse and it's in your stable before doing the quest it doesn't recognize it or tell you so you can spend hours looking for a horse that's already in your stable

>>724977342
Yes.
Almost all the amiibo costumes (and the 'Of the Wild' set) can be found, mostly in the Depths.

>>724977001 (OP)
Already played BOTW so I didnt play this.

>>724977175
hell yeah, game is peak

>>724977342
there's well over a hundred

>>724977001 (OP)
I loved ToTK but I'm not bothering with the musou

>>724979767
fair

>>724977448
>>724977604
Oh nice, that's good to know. I'm getting a Switch 2 by the end of the month and was curious to try ToTK since I never finished BoTW when it came out on Wii U. I figured ToTK would be a more definitive/improved sequel and with the updated visuals/framerate would provide for a more enjoyable experience for me to finally get back into Zelda.

the story sucks, i wanted to skip every cutscene especially when zelda is there

>>724981393
>I never finished BoTW
you should, Totk is a sequel.

I recently started playing BoTW on Switch 2 and I've decided that I will skip this one and probably every 3D Zelda game from now on. Feels like at least half the times I get stuck and look up a guide online for what to do is because I didn't notice something when looking around unlike 2D Zelda games where everything is shown.

>>724982191
that's just sad dude

>>724982191
Forgot to mention that I haven't been enjoying crafting in BoTW either. I want to play the game, not spend so much time looking for parts for stuff. Thank God that the stuff needed for Ancient Armor drops from the same enemy which keeps things simple so I decided to make that my main armor. I was already not a fan of games with crafting and now I see that not even something as big as Zelda can make crafting fun. I will now be even more averse towards games with crafting than before.

>>724977001 (OP)
>no repeats
So that was the Imprisoning War...

>>724977001 (OP)
Koroks
Repeated map
Depths are shit
Sky Islands are shit
Story is dogshit
Bosses are bad and repetitive
Dungeons are still the worst in the series along with BotW

worst for me. it just is.

>>724977001 (OP)
I genuinely prefer BoTW. But I guess that's just a normal reaction to something that's a sequel to original greatness that completely changes everything.

>>724977001 (OP)
Things disappear way too fast and have an arbitrary limit on how much time they can function

0/10 criticism

>>724983867
The wing devices having such a limited life spin disproportionate to how useful they are is hilarious.
The float stones last fucking forever whilst the fans last half an hour, the airbike solves mobility for the vast majority of the game, and if you need to lift something heavier you just add more fans.
Recall is used to recharge batteries if you run low, so adding energy cells is only for convenience.

>>724984087
It just breaks the game. But what I don't understand is why they didn't fix it. It's a very clear problem for anyone after the first creation.
It just ruins any investment on more complex machines

>>724984087
they aren't meant to be used to break the game, you just get a little farther along with them and they are used up

>>724977001 (OP)
I didn't play it because I saw a screenshot of link in a dress. I have no Idea if it was real or not and never bothered to check

>>724983957
>i have no rebuttal
I accept your concession

>How was Ganondorf going to attack Central Hyrule with sandwhales?
>How did Rauru/Zelda not see/hear Ganondorf, but he saw them, and was even able to see and deduce the secret stone and its power amplification?
>Why did Zelda and Sonia agree to meet Ganondorf in a secluded area of Hyrule Castle at night?
In other words; the story's fucking nonsense. Every other issue (the puzzles sucking, the combat being ass, the terrible items/gimmicks, and shitty level design) is imported from BotW, so not really "original" so to speak. Although the same issues have pretty much applied to every 3D Zelda game this century. Not sure what these niggas at Nintendo EAD/EPD/R&D/HIV or whatever the fuck it's called are doing.

>>724977001 (OP)
Botw purists are the weirdos to me. I honestly don't get it. I feel like its either you like this style of gameplay or you don't.

>>724977001 (OP)

incredibly low bar

Lol just switch to Jap voices like every single other game. The rest of your points are good

>>724985676
What game?

>>724977001 (OP)
BotW didn't deserve an ounce of hype it got. Conversely, ToTK deserves a bit more recognition.

Granted in the real world, BotW is just ToTK ver 0.1 "early access", and after 7 years of small/medium updates, ToTK is 1.0

>>724985841
no, Zelda sounds awesome

>>724986030
WW is the odd prototype game in the franchise.

>>724977001 (OP)
>be original, no repeats
If this game fails to meet this standard then I don't have to either

It's the same empty map of BOTW with a brand new even larger, even emptier map, alongside fucking Minecraft slop and somehow taking the few gigs elements of BOTW (like the cool, but too short divine beasts) and making them worse.

>>724977001 (OP)
Zoomer ahh post

Slop of the Goyim is the worst Zelda game and it's not even close

There has to be a better way, shit’s dumb.

scrolling for 30 seconds to pick/find the item you want

WHERE DID THE COLOR GO

>>724989476
Hidden by all that disgusting anti-soul gas

>>724989476
N64 just didn't have the capacity for colors is all, Oot was still a good game regardless.

>>724990524
Some people think this

>>724990524
looks worse than this.

Here's how BotW ACTUALLY looked like.

>>724993280
it's a shot from a Switch 2

>>724986807
>this is somehow worse than having a single menu screen with all your shit

>faggots really think this looks better than >>724991019
Kys, faggots. I solely bought a wii u for WW remaster and don't plan on playing the others after what I have seen and read. I might get TP remaster but nothing will beat OoT in terms of how well the graphics blend together and actually fit the environment. The fucking misty shit filters for the new games automatically kill vibes the originals had. I'd say MM looks the best overall, but OoT is better overall. MM just need more main dungeons/story beats instead of collecathons everywhere.

>>724977001 (OP)
This is the majority of my criticism

>>724977001 (OP)
the texture quality is kinda shit... i get that it's the game that pushes the switch 1 to it's absolute limits in terms of specs but it really could be better. Comparing the textures from age of calamity to totk is a very jarring drop in quality.

i haven't seen the switch 2 version, however.

Lol, enjoy playing shit and having shit on your screen. And rebuilding shit like its fucking Fallout or Elder Scrolls. I genuinely don't understand why they'd add that crap. Here's a cool, mystical weapon, oh and btw shit breaks if you actually use it. It just sounds like a tacked off faggot feature that keeps you busy instead of playing the actual game.

>>724977001 (OP)
nuts and bolts is better

>>724993816
>>724994272
Only problem is Nuts and Bolts forgot to also be a Banjo Kazooie game. Zelda remained Zelda.

>>724995747
>Zelda remained Zelda.
If that were true then why were the dungeons so dogshit in botw and totk?

>>724994682
>Lol, enjoy playing
thanks

>>724995876
>dungeons
What dungeons?
The beasts are just shrines but out in the open and the "dungeons" in totk barely counted as the intro to a dungeon
This is by far my biggest gripe, the one thing I love about zelda games got bastardized to hell

>>724995876
You could say the same about Zelda 1 and A Link to the Past, yet they seem to be fan favorites.

>>724995747
nuts and bolts is more a banjo game than totk is a zelda game

>>724995747
TotK was BotW with Nuts & Bolts bolted onto the side. It didn't add anything to the Zelda formula or the TotK gameplay loop. If you provided a glide wing replacement then you could take out every single zonai item without fundamentally changing the game. The only thing that wouldn't work anymore are the Kohga fights and some of the shrine puzzles.

>>724977001 (OP)
I didn't like the quest to get the paraglider, it was obtuse and boring.

>>724996860
The game is actually way more fun without the paraglider
Shame the spirit temple thing requires you to get it before itll allow you to do it

>>724977001 (OP)
I have no interest in playing this game.
It simply doesn't look appealing to me.
I don't know what else to say.

I haven't participated in a TotK hate thread in years because I got tired of BotW discussions.

Has the community agreed that we'd rather have like 9 really good dungeons instead of 200 shitty shrines? Or do people like the shrines?

>>724997504
Yea everyone is in agreement.

>>724997504
Secondaries make up the majority of nu-zelda fans and they prefer shrines and ubisoft tower gameplay

>>724977001 (OP)
No Master Mode. Master Cycle? Gone. Can't bring Epona. Paid DLC, btw.

>>724977001 (OP)
The instant reward shrines are back.
Nobody talks enough about the Hyrule Castle raid.
The underground really is kinda mid, like it has content but the atmosphere feels so...dull.
Sky gameplay should have been more emphasized.
Hyrule should have been sectioned into sky islands as a matter of fact.
Paya not being the 5th sage was an extreme bummer.
While the construct factory portion was cool, the spirit temple being only one bad boss was really dissapointing.
The construct itself was extremely shit.
Dungeons have no purpose being part of the open world, they simply are for the sake of the gimmick.
The only good and memorable dungeon is the lightning temple, fire temple falls flat because it's ruined by climbing, water was just...bad, wind is outdone by the ascension to it.
No proper final dungeon is dissapointing, especially since they finally made it so it would have been something other than Hyrule Castle.
Horses are pretty much worthless since you can't call them anywhere you want.
Zonai are worthless as a whole, both in story and gameplay.

>>724997635
This. I know this because they make podcasts that I tried listening to because I'm getting tired of music and had nothing else better to listen to. They glaze the fuck out of BotW, and then go "Ick, ew, yucky, so outdated. You REALLY need a guide for this" when playing shit like LoZ or ALttP. I'm so fucking tired of these soboys.

>>724993393
>took 3 consoles to kinda look decent
>still has anti-soul fog
I'll wait for Switch 3

>>724997872
>The underground really is kinda mid, like it has content but the atmosphere feels so...dull.
I find it weird you felt that way. The atmosphere of the depths was like the only good thing about it. It felt like a really niche hardcore oldschool dungeon crawler. Like one of those old DOS games you pick up and it just unrelentingly beats the shit out of you with obtuse mechanics. TotK wasn't obtuse, but it had the feeling of those obtuse games. I loved the atmosphere.

Agree with everything else except about the dungeons. I thought they were fine. Definitely not the best in the series, but still miles and miles better than what BotW had.

>>724997504
There's no point to making huge dungeons anymore. It's better to have huge caverns and lots of smaller puzzles throughout the world. You people are worshiping outdated paradigms.

>>724998303
It looks so far above and beyond better than OoT on an N64.

>>724998419
This. The depths are underrated as a very solid risk versus reward gameplay implement with tremendous atmosphere.

>>724998637
dungeons dont even need to be that huge fag

>>724998742
For the first hour or two before you kinda get what it's about. I wish they made it way more threatening.

>>724998419
>It felt like a really niche hardcore oldschool dungeon crawler.
No it did not. Not even a little bit.

>>724984705
confession denied

OP ingests copious volumes of semen.

>>724997504
I would, but it would require a different focus. I'm curious to see what Nintendo decides to do next, even if it's an Echoes of Wisdom-tier disappointment.

>>724999646
NTA but he's right the depths felt really old school and atmospheric.
