TL;DR The dude wanted an experience tailored specifically to him and all his stuff is just a nitpick for how it's not.

Beyond the fact that you're not reading his points right (as Maple Leaf said, the video/text proper actually brings up plenty of examples to back his claims), this last point you bring up here is honestly just silly.

At the end of the day, none of us can ever truly be "objective" in our opinions on things like this. A lot of critique always boils down to subjective viewpoints of what we enjoyed/hated and try to explain how and why. And there's also nothing wrong with wanting a game to be a certain way either; people are free to anticipate and enjoy games however they feel.

The tl;dr is just that the guy doesn't like several aspects of the game, and then breaks down his points with lots of examples and mechanics break downs. It's kinda unfair to call it a nitpick considering he's bringing up core mechanics of the entire game that you engage in that (arguably) have inherit flaws.

He certainly made points, but they are entirely subjective. Which is fine, except when you spend two hours sharing them. You better be the loving Ken Burns of youtube commenters if you want 2 hours of my life to say "I wish the game was different". The Every Frame a Painting guy can take ten minutes and completely break down action scene as an artistic medium, in two loving hours your youtube video better have changed my life.


1. Technically, several of the points he brings up are just pure statistics things. How many of X shrines are there, damage formula of X enemy versus Y enemy, Flurry Rush trigger for X enemy is at Y range, etc. So there's actually a bunch of objective info in this.

2. The guy, repeatedly, says "Hey, here are my main points right here. The next section is going to be me systematically breaking down the points with lots of examples to illustrate my point. If that's boring to you, then hit the timestamp/link to the next section to move on." No one is making you sit through the entire video other than yourself.

How about just arguing the points brought up in the thread then? I mean I haven't watched it either, I just skimmed the text version.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


It just occurred to me that I never got the Zora headdress. So headed on up to their domain but took a different route for shits and giggles.

Lo and behold, I stumbled on an area that looked rad and I found the headdress. I had no idea if I was going to buy it or go on a quest. But I just stumbled into it.

Game is awesome. That's my review.

Man, gently caress the camel. That whole level was annoying.

The camel one was the first one I did and it set an unrealistic expectation for the difficulty (puzzles and boss) and complexity of the other ones. It was also the only one I did before getting the hylian shield and master sword (and this I had more hearts too), so that was possibly part of it.

Wait, you can't dodge while locked on?! Is that true? I always lock on to enemies. I assumed the reason I almost never got successful dodges is because my timing sucks. Do shield parries work the same way?

I did the Camel last, after getting the master sword. I was still able to defeat Thunderblight Ganon on my first try, but it took me a while to figure out his stage 2 form with the lightning pillars. But man, figuring out how to turn the different parts of the Camel to get to the activation points hurt my head way more than the other divine beasts.

I went Elephant, Lizard, Bird, Camel. The only bossfight that really gave me trouble was the Fireblight Ganon because I didn't have the master sword yet.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

OK, guys, dragged myself through and finally beat this game. And...I have to say, I really like the final boss fight in particular and Hyrule Castle in general. I'd say it's the high point of the game for me. It's probably the best Ganon fight in the series.

I didn't really enjoy Breath of the Wild and I don't think I'm ever going to touch it again, but I do have to give the game credit for a few really great moments, like the assaults on the Divine Beasts and Ganon. They're just so few and there's far too much other stuff between them.

Yeah I went in knowing this was a possibility. I was just countering the bullet points, I don't really want to watch the video. If he has extra explanation and I'm totally wrong, so be it. I had fun.

If that is the quest for Misko's treasure: look at the river that forks south of the stable and follow the shorter one to its source in the south. If I recall correctly, the "Little Twin" is one of the name of one of the two bridges that cross near where the river forks.

From there you can explore a bit more to find the actual treasure. If you are still stuck: climb up the rocks where the waterfall is and look for a bombable cave entrance.

You know that nemesis system fro the Shadows of Mordor would be really hilarious and appropriate in this, given the enemies are literally being brought back to life via magic.

Oh, than kyou. Was never going to find that myself then, I assumed the Little Twin referred to the shorter mountain and was looking based on that

Same, that didn't feel like the right answer but it worked so

I admit that on my second playthrough I'm using Rivali to cheese 90% of the towers though, which was especially great for skipping that electrified bog hell around the forest tower

Getting Rivali early is great for everything, especially the other divine beasts :getin:

Wait, the really short tower with the cliff next to it that you can just walk up to and you're at the top? Or the one, what was it, like Wasteland Tower, that has all those Lizalfos and Wizrobes and is surrounded by water at the bottom? Because one of those towers is an rear end to climb without Rivali and the other one you don't have to climb at all.

The Military Camp Tower is like a cool mini dungeon that I think is really fun. I was really excited when my brother got to it and all of that excitement evaporated when I realized you can just cryonis hop over the swamp to the tower and ignore all the platforms.

I still don't get why swamp water can be frozen. Kind of removes any threat it poses as a hazard.
