still GOTY :^)

Too much open-world, too little actual Zelda

this is my main criticism too, I enjoyed it but it did not feel like a zelda game

>what went wrong
you didn't play the game and decided to shitpost on Sup Forums about it

>didnt feel like a zelda game
Wasn't that what they were trying to achieve?

>WAAAAH Nintendo keeps rehashing the same game over and over!
>WAAAAH this game isn't enough like the other games!

What the fuck do you want, Sup Forums?

Didn't mean to quote

>my face when zelda will always be this open world garbage from now on
>my face when even the handheld zelda games we get from now on will be some hamfisted, forced open world garbage

>forced

Nothing in this game is forced. It is completely fucking open minus the tutorial.

>Alive for 18 years
>Turns out to be a shitposter
What in the actual fuck when wrong?

Forced as in, they forced zelda to change into this open world thing, and the handheld games will follow suit.

It's ruined if you can't stand open world garbage.

Oh well, time to move on from the series for me. Enjoy your games guys.

We got a god tier physics engine, and we got a game called "Breath of the Wild." So I didn't expect much story in it. I would've liked more traditional dungeons and story, but I liked what I got.

They need to progress on this ideas, but make it feel more like a Zelda game. You can shut off all the handholding in this game, and that's the first time in a long time that Nintendo did this.

They went all out on the mechanics on the game but forgot to make a good soundtrack, story and memorable characters. There is also no reason to play the game at all because the combat is completely optional so it's a most a walking simulator. You can beat Ganon with no armor and 3 hearts like it's nothing.

good riddance

>He literally didn't play the first game
Fucking newfags.

>my face when even the handheld zelda games we get from now on will be some hamfisted, forced open world garbage

Thats one of my worst fears for Zelda ma nigga. I never really liked the console games except SNES. But nowadays they even want to ruin the handheld games. IDONT WANT YOUR 3D SHIT NINTENDO! Just give me a nice game like Minish Cap again...

I liked the first Zelda the most anyway along with ALttP. Zelda changed to what it became during the N64 era, and it's moving in the original direction of the series once again.

>6 months
>half a year
>Sup Forums has NOT gotten over this game
is this a new record?

Handheld Zelda games are mostly trash, dude. Stop eating shit.

I liked almost everything about this game at the start.
The problem is you feel like you're playing to find some amazing thing, you do all the shrines and all the seeds along the way, and you keep looking and looking for that amazing thing, but it's just not there, there's nothing worth looking for, but you keep looking until you realize that and get bored.

You can? I mean you "can" but can you? I've tried. It's pretty hard. I haven't gotten past the third boss. Not to mention just getting there in the first place with no upgrades requires a pretty good understanding of the game.

>they forced zelda to change into this open world thing

Underage detected

>the shittiest zelda
Great fucking job nintendo, atleast try to rip off oot or mm or zelda 2. Zelda 2 would literally be dark souls zelda.

They made a more atmospheric soundtrack due to the size of Hyrule. The "Wild" part of the title would be a waste if they had some kind of typical Zelda track playing throughout it.

the soundtrack is brilliant. it's just too fucking quiet.

if they had bgm/sfx sliders no one would be complaining about the music. it's a really cleverly written score.

Are you fucking kidding me? How old are you that you think Zelda 1 is the worst Zelda? It's still a spectacular game even today.

Also

>dark souls Zelda
>wanting everything to be dark souls

I want Koizumi back, actual dungeons, no companion (that includes Zelda speaking telepathically) and no shitty Sheikah tech bullshit, go back to more traditional fantasy

>In development for 6 years
>Is the best 3D Zelda, even rivalling some of the 2D ones
How the fuck did they do it?

Hey. Hey OP? Kill yourself. Like, for real, kill yourself. You are a fucking plague.

Why do people like linearity so much?
Is it just because you grew up with linear games?
Aren't you tired of being herded whenever you play a game?

How's life in that alternate reality of yours, user?

It truly is a terrible 3D Zelda.
>all the dungeons are bad and share the same themes
>the shrines don't make up for it because they're almost all bad as well
>a lot of the content is the run of the mill quantity > quality format of open world games
>OST is nice when it's there, but it's not there most of the time
>Story is decent but again, usually not there
Most of the game is padded by copy pasted enemy outposts and copy pasted shrines and fucking Koroks. It didn't deserve 10/10s across the board.

Dark Souls is Zelda, it was based off of the kind of gameplay seen in Zelda titles.

The first Zelda was open world, dip shit. BotW is the closest Nintendo have ever come to the original vision for Zelda.

>wanting everything to be open-world meme
Atleast dark souls zelda might have some fucking fighting, unlike botw.
Besides zelda 1 and botw both proved zelda doesn't work with full-open world bullshit because it just makes everything look samey and monotonous.

Anyone who thinks BoTW feels like Zelda 1 hasn't actually played Zelda 1.

they needed better battle music, and music for the more moody parts of the game, like death mountain and gerudo highlands, rather than ambient sound and simple notes

I personally would like a smaller overworld with real dungeons and a handful of classic items like the hookshot back.

But BotW was a complete masterpiece. This board is just contrarian central.

My worse complaint is the combat. Trial of the Sword is not fun because the combat simply isn't fun.

>ambient sound and simple notes

you don't. know what. you are talking about.

It wasn't that good, It was not 'the definitive zelda' or even a big changer in the genre as a whole. It not deserve it's praise and only got away with it from being Zelda and a Nintendo product.

Not enough of the stuff that worked from the 3d zeldas.
It's a bold new idea. In fact, I would have preferred it was another IP. That way it wouldn't have to be bound by
Zelda shit, as it seems they were trying their best to avoid the conventions.

Great game. I can't wait for a future 60 fps version (maybe), and look forward to how they'll address what went wrong with this one.

It's easy as fuck. You can just sneak in Hyrule Castle from the waterfall and just climb directly to Ganon. It's a plus if you can parry well enough to make Guardians less of a trouble. It just takes you one playthrough to realize how easy it is.
I'm not complaining about the impressionist/ambient style of the soundtrack, in fact it's fucking great. What pisses me off is that there's barely any music at all. All the best songs are restricted to cutscenes, there should have been more of it. Also this

Fucken wizzrobes

like clockwork

The music was hands down the weakest in all the of the 3D Zelda games. Don't kid yourself saying it was good.

Yeah, the FORCED tutorial.

>le smug zelda face

Like clockwork.

>people still use the tired and false "BoTW feels like Zelda 1" meme
BoTW follows the formula of modern open world games, Zelda 1 predated that formula by decades and has little to no elements of said formula.

>You can? I mean you "can" but can you? I've tried. It's pretty hard. I haven't gotten past the third boss.
Ok, you're trash then.
This is objectively the easiest zelda game. I don't know if you just don't play video games or what, but this is pretty much as easy as it gets. The biggest challenges are angry bird puzzles for fuck sake.

i don't agree with you and why should i when you can only describe it with the words 'ambient sound and simple notes'? try harder to accurately describe the music and i might take you seriously.

>even worse than Skyward Sword

That wasn't even me you fucktard that said that you fucktard. How about you give some good feedback instead as well saying 'it's good 4 me :^)'

>>
Oh it's not easy for me because I have a life :(

Alright I'll bite.

One point of praise I do have for BOTW is that it has much better combat than the previous games. There's so many options you can take, like using the enviroment or fire to your advantage. Things like throwing electrified weapons or starting a fire all make it have some variety. Much better than previous games.

Also not everything needs to be fighting all the time, you do realize. Plenty of games are good without combat. Dark Souls works because its focus is on combat. BOTW's is not, it's more exploration with occasional combat elements.

Also BOTW's didn't feel too samey to me, there are an abnudunce of similar areas for sure but the actual things within those areas varied ever so slightly. Unlike something like AC, I actually felt like I was exploring a real world with new things and new places to discover.

Having flaws doesn't make it a bad game

NES Zelda called

Let's not kid ourselves. Original Zelda is pretty poorly designed with its secrets. And it definitely hasn't aged that well compared to other classic NES titles.

great game :)

Huh? You're always seeing new stuff in BOTW.

It wasn't GOTY though, didn't deserve 10/10s across the board.

>bought a nintendo console
>has a life
Nobody believes you.

>zelda finally back to being about exploration and adventure

>people want to be on rails again.

Jesus Christ this board.

Name a better game this year Ill wait

You're right on that aspect but I feel like the whole freedom to go where you want aspect is something that still remains quite good to this day.

There's nothing to discover in BoTW other than one of 100 copy pasted aesthetic shrines or 900 fucking Koroks, so the exploration and adventure bits fall flat.
It's the equivalent of Skyrim, where you can say there's tons to do but it bubbles down to the same looping draugr caves and dragon shrines.

Sonic mania

Not him.

Love BOTW to bits but PUBG has gotten more hours/memories out of me.

>doesn't even do a good job at exploration and adventure.

>people complain about it rightfully.

???
Horizon Zero Dawn did a better job at world building. :^) There you go.

idk I had fun playing it

>There's so many options you can take, like using the enviroment or fire to your advantage. Things like throwing electrified weapons or starting a fire all make it have some variety.
There's like 3 real enemies and each of them has a super abuseable weakness that even the dumbest dipshit can figure out. Once you're done fucking around with a few gimmicky attacks you're going to use the most effective one, that's just common sense.

>not a Zelda game
This is an unequivocal positive.

It can be about exploration and adventure without being completely barren and lacking actual dungeons

You grew up.

Can't wait for GOTY awards this year desu.

Prey.
Prey is so much better it's not even funny.

fucking Mario Odyssey

>NES Zelda called
Its funny. My two main complaints is that it has no difficulty and way too few enemy varieties. Both of these things are outdone by a fucking NES game. Sure difficulty is a bit easier to understand, but having less variety than a NES game? How can you not make a better game than a game that works on a piece of hardware that is less powerful than a literal toaster?

>wandering
>see some trees
>go in
>music changes, atmosphere changes
>amazing atmosphere, scary trees
>wander forward and discover a neat puzzle to do with wind.

>find the master sword and deku tree with no prompt, no quest markers, no one telling me to.

If you don't think that shit was magical as fuck, you can get out of my face.

Majora's mask is the best zelda game

but was it a better game tho?

Why else would I bring it up. :^)

>comparing BOTW to Zelda 1
end this meme

its a bioshock knock off

The enemy variety was a complaint I had about the game actually. I disagree with you on the super abuseable weakness part though. Sure a lot of them can just be beaten with mashing the button but none of them have one strategy that works every time, all the time.

I also disagree with you on the gimmicky part. To me they didn't feel super gimmicky, some of them were a bit less useful yes but they still had a purpose and a time to use them.

Classic hyperbole, that moment wasn't that magical at all and you're trying to delude yourself from the fact that most of BoTW's content is the same copy pasted padding that all modern open world games do.
The Master Sword is a pathetic excuse for the Master Sword in BoTW anyways

>IT WAS ARTIFICIAL FUN

And? This game is a skyrim knockoff. What's your point?
Prey is still better.

so no

As soon as I got the map and saw Lost Woods I knew where I was going and why. I'm pretty sure the wind mechanic has been used before too, I figured it out easily.
By exploration the user meant going off the trail and finding something cool, not following the road to the place the Master Sword is.

Not even out yet

Short, boring SS2 rip-off with a stupid twist and overpowered upgrades and too much backtracking and area recycling.

>strawmanning this hard
>if I greentext that they said this it'll undoubtedly be true
Enjoy 900 koroks and 100 shitty mini dungeons I guess

>gets refuted
>gets asspained and just goes full denial mode.

Wew lad, is that your defense? Really?

no it isn't, skyrim was shit

fourth post best post.

Yes

Stellar bait

>thinking poeple here are actually 18+

>too much backtracking and area recycling.
How can that even be an insult when there's only like 15 shrines copy and pasted over a hundred times.
