I do wanna see the main dungeons be a bit more bulky in BOTW 2 and 10% more durability on weapons and better menuing and shortcut handling and some of the crafting mats sourcing is dumb and annoying.

Edit: Don't need the whole blurb to skip every time I enter a shrine.

That's great and hopefully you don't take discussion or criticism as a personal sleight. Some people feel the same way about other games as you did about this one. Some people played this game and didn't feel anything. I think it's a polarizing game because of the risks it took. A lot of things can be seen as strengths or weaknesses or both but that it's Hyrule gave them the room to take risks. In the end it obviously paid off because the view is generally positive.

Totally. Some people like chocolate, some people like vanilla, and some people like both. I can see why people don't like it. But for me the game drew me in so fast that I wasn't even thinking about how it had a bare bones story, or no skills tree, or I couldn't ride a horse and deliver messages as a side mission.

It simply presented itself in a way that allowed me to take off my "I talk about video games on the internet" hat and for that I give it kudos.

I was constantly picking up the Switch to show my girlfriend all the little surprises.

Breath of the Wild is a great puzzle game with a lot of tedious travel and bad combat encounters between puzzles

the puzzles are mostly contextless, all look the same, have too much loading/baked in animations, and are a major impediment to me replaying the game beyond a 3 hearts run where i don't have to do them again.

Thanks all for the help, I think I'll wait on Zelda for now and pick it up later. I think I'm gonna look into the Rabbids game for my first Switch exclusive game. Then the agonizing wait for Mario Odyssey (though Wolfenstein comes out at the same time eeesh)

There have been times when you've been able to order a Switch from a retailer online and the listing would be up for the entire day, if not days in the past few months right?

I don't know why so many are saying "Also the Switch hasn't been in stock for MONTHS" today all of the sudden. :thunk:

BotW is the best game on the switch up until Hollow Knight is released on it, at which point it will be a tie.

I guess I was confusing it with certain "rare" amiibo that have gotten restocks over the past few months.

But even with them it's like the same thing, don't lump the Switch and post-2014/2015 amiibo in with this Classic Mini bullshit.

They're not a replacement for any amiibos, there's just also cards for animal crossing characters that weren't popular enough to be a figure (and by all accounts some of the ones that are figures probably should have just been cards based on how they didn't sell).

Unless you're talking about the thing that lets you create your own rfid tags.

I'm a guy who likes a lot of zelda games, but can also dislike a fair share of them.

BOTW was fine, but I feel like people hate on it because it wasn't as colorful in terms of music and characters to something like Wind Waker.
