“If totk wasn’t afraid of its own sequelness it would’ve been so much better a couple shrines left over that got stuck and couldn’t disappear beneath the earth the same for the odd tower or two deconstructed ancient sheika tech used in the new towers the odd broken guardian at the edge of the map some fucking reference to where the divine beasts went or perhaps the divine beasts being decommissioned at the edges of the map that would’ve been so cool fuck just a few more references to the champions my guy revali was not one of the most interesting guys in botw to be nonexistent in totk no memorial no nothing and urbosa and daruk and mipha holy fuck miphas statue being removed and hidden on a hill and that being the best any champion got totk despite being quite good fun to play has this kinda cluttered yet flat feel to it like it’s got all this shit in it but everything sheika had to be erased and have zoni stuff copy pasted on it and everyones so plain in morals and tulin inherented his dumb powers spitting in the face of revali being the only champion to not have inherited power and/or royal birthright

Like I’m aware my expectations are too high but also you will take my pissyness from my cold dead corpse nintendo accidentally made a mindfuck game designed to rankle me specifically

“I hate the whole 'dozens of solutions for every puzzle' design philosophy with my entire being.

It feels less like a challenge that you have to overcome with actual smarts, and more like you can just take a low-effort, no brain needed shortcut for everything.

There is no sense of accomplishment when I know I could have grabbed literally ANY OTHER ITEM in my arsenal and still have reached the same result one way or another.

It's not even a puzzle at that point.

This stuff feels like a participation trophy AT BEST.”

“Something about the statue of Twilight Link I've seen pictures of in stores is... Unreasonably attractive

“The amount of freedom we get in the newest Zelda titles makes the games much less interesting, ironically enough.

The OP abilities they supply us with make every hurdle null and void. They also lose their appeal after a while cuz sometimes they take an amount of work that's not worth the reward.

Wow, freedom to attack however we want? No need to look for weak-spots or anything, I guess. Flurry Rush and Shield Bash are the only things I need.

Or have.

In close combat at least.

If you want a challenge, you have to fight enemies naked with your shittiest armor and a stick.

The open world was novel in Botw. Totk overdid it.

“Majoras mask is better than ocarina of time in my opinion because it's a perfect mix of fantasy and realistic life lessons. Every "NPC" is a character with routines. Link learns that he cannot save everyone/people have to die for the greater good. He learns about healing and forgiveness. The game really makes you think in an emotional way rather than most zelda games
