I was looking at it when it first launched, it seems really cool. Unfortunately I have Game Pass disease where I'm no longer willing to spend $20 on some unknown indie game.

It would be an actual Zelda game if it was an open world sandbox with Zelda running around.

Ha, I'm the opposite. My tastes in games are fairly specific, so I've never subscribed to PS+ or Game Pass. Chances are, by the time a game I want to play pops up on one of those, it's already been on my radar and I've already bought it!

There’s four dungeons (five with dlc). Hell the castle is kinda a dungeon? That’s almost half a dozen!

There's a post somewhere on these forums where someone argued the game teens worth of dungeons and their count included the mazes and the yiga stealth section

botw was the first zelda i beat. i almost certainly wouldnt have gone back and played LttP, OoT, and MM without loving it so much. since i didnt have the old experience to compare to really, i didnt mind the dungeons at all and thought they were fun. but after playing LttP and OoT, yeah, I get what people missed and agree that botw would have been better with those kind of dungeons.

but tbh even having the different stye of dungeons that it did, it was so dang good that i wont really be that disappointed if botw2 doesn't do old-style dungeons. very excited to climb and pet dogs

The cool part of Zelda dungeons are the environments and atmosphere. I accept the beasts as a dungeon, but not as multiple dungeons as they're all iterations on the same design. The Castle also gets to count as a dungeon, for a total of two dungeons.

That's not enough dungeons!

i think my favorite thing was landing on a dark island and seeing some giant eyeball and thinking "what happens if i shoot it?" i shot it, and it was very mad at me. it was some kinda giant cyclops thing and i used some of the dungeon powers to absolutely destroy it in like 20 seconds. it was a tense moment and it was a lot of fun.

other than that moment the combat was p weak and i hated the final boss fight

Not everybody likes dungeons. I don't like them and I'm glad BotW didn't have them. Dungeons to me are these annoying timesinks that I have to delve into when the game decides I can't explore anymore without the next dungeon toy. So I go into them to get a new doohickey so I can explore more.

I realize my opinion is probably the minority one, which is why BOTW sold a zillion copies, but because it's at my expense I will whine about it.

If one were to create a museum style 'Object Label' what would you write on it and how would you format it? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_label#Object_labels



Whatever I come up with doesn't look right to me, and I want second opinions.

I want to start off each with something like:

Weapon durability is good, unlimited access to the entire map is not necessarily good. I hope there's more restriction and more stuff that you need to explore for in BOTW 2. Give me more reasons to go around the map and do various things rather than wiping an area clean of all content in a single pass and never having a reason to return. Make places feel special. Something more like the original Zelda model where a LOT of stuff can be done out of intended order to give more options if you so desire, but obviously with more modern breadcrumbing to help players spot their various options.

finding a new toy in a dungeon is one of the best parts of zelda imo. botw didn't have that, on top of its myriad other sins, and that's why i'm afraid it's not a very fun game.

What display case/frame are you using? I'd like something like this, but I'm not sure which frames/cases protect from the sun or not.

I want Zelda games to go back to the LttP design where the Big Key opens the dungeon treasure and the boss room, that makes dungeons way more interesting and way less linear. It feels like after Majora's Mask every dungeon just turned into a single straight path from the entrance to the dungeon item to the boss key to the boss room.

The game designer's toolkit guy on youtube did a fascinating game by game analysis of zelda dungeons from this perspective, well worth checking out.

It's the glass. You have to get UV resistant glass for the frame.

The fact that LttP works amazingly well as a metroidvania when you randomize the item locations despite that being something the devs never even considered really shows just how well designed it is.
