I have been playing BotW for over a week now and it definitely lives up to the hype. I haven't played a new Zelda game since Ocarina of Time, which I 99.9% completed (I could never catch the Hylian loach). Not sure why I never got into Majora's Mask. I think I just wasn't into gaming at the time, and then I never got a new console until the Switch. I think this is probably the best Zelda I've played. The basic combat reminds me of OoT, but in terms of "feel" it probably reminds me the most of Zelda 1 if you don't know where anything is. Just this huge, dangerous world that's filled with secrets and not too many clues to go on. Like if I were to play the second quest without a guide. There's not a lot to complain about. I don't think it's necessarily more difficult than Zelda 1 or 2. You die a lot more in Zelda 2 for instance, and you have to use continues once you get a game over and lose a ton of progress. The weapons are inexplicably fragile, but it's pretty hard to run out once you get going. Shrines with motion control suck, but they really aren't super hard. I wish horses had a longer range for calling them. I think that's all I can think of. Just minor nitpicks. None of these things are really problems. My biggest issue has been getting used to controls. I don't see anyone else complaining about this so maybe it's just me, but I keep crouching by accident during fights.

Haha there was just a discussion the other day in a game complaints thread that involved accidentally crouching all the time during combat. I hate that control decision so much, Ghost of Tsushima puts sprint on L3 and crouch on R3 by default, and it's a million times better and less disruptive.

I've been replaying it with just 3 hearts and it's forcing me to get gud at combat and be more choosy with how I engage enemies.

I found with the pro controller I crouch accidentally a lot less than with the joycons.

Yeah I crouch on accident fairly often but not enough where it's much of a hindrance. Also a pro controller user.

It's good.

I am going to try to see if I can finish up BotW before the new game comes out this month; I still got 2 of the Divine Beasts to go, along with the entire west side of the map.

I am not sure where else I would put crouch with the rest of the commands, really, but I don't see why you can't just remap the buttons as you wish.

A proper BOTW-style cinematic hype trailer that makes me run to Best Buy on release day instead of walking would be nice, but I've already pre-ordered it and am sure it will be amazing either way so I'm fine with getting nothing more as well lol

To this day I've never seen any of the Breath of the Wild advertising or trailers. All I knew about the game before it released was that you could set the grass on fire.

Hedrigall posted:7 weeks before BOTW we got the huge trailer I don't really care about spoilers personally, so even more than a Direct I'd love something like the Treehouse shows from E3 that Nintendo did for Breath of the Wild, with one or two of the game's staff chatting to a Nintendo playtester or whatever they were as they ambled about one little corner of the map showing off various foundationary systems. I loved watching those, and they're what convinced me to get the game since I'm not huge on Zelda and have missed or only partially played a good few of the games.

I honestly suspect that there's still a big feature/gimmick that Nintendo is holding out on. And I'm not talking about vehicle building either. Possibly something related to time travel/time reversal. Some of the earliest footage we saw featured some kind of time inversion rune, and the symbol of the oroboros is featured so prominently. I wouldn't be surprised if we're caught in another time loop but with falling sky islands or something like that.

We’re likely going back 10,000 years to the first calamity and playing as the old hero from that. And yeah there’s likely gonna be poo poo you do back then that’ll open up stuff in the future. But who knows, can’t wait.

I heard it was open world and you could climb things and that weapons broke. I thought you had to make your own weapons. I had this image of stone age Link climbing a cliff and making a stone tomohawk to fight an alligator-man that throws an axe.

If they were to revisit the time travel gimmick again I'd like to see them go all out. Not just two points in time with some map adjustments between them, but like multiple time periods. Maybe youd have to go back and revisit the time periods of previous games to collect past items or gather the help of past links or something. I know thats a tall order but i dont think just rehashing Ocarina with BotW's map would be all that great.

I also really hope they're hiding something huge mechanic-wise, akin to the reveal that Super Mario Odyssey was all about enemy body possession. Nobody saw that coming from the initial trailer. We thought it was just a hat you could throw then jump on. The leaked TOTK art book is intended to be looked at before playing the game as it's included with the special edition, so while it shows a lot of cool stuff you can't infer any game mechanics at all, it's still all a mystery

I have it from a reputable source ChatGPT that you'll be able to harvest the tears of enemies and drink them to gain their powers. There'll be speed tears, power tears, time tears, you name it. So now you know!

Have they confirmed it's tears of the kingdom, as in eye liquid and not tears of the kingdom and you flip between worlds using portals called tears. Actually you could probably just look at the kanji and figure this out, I don't care to though.

I’ve been calling it “tears of the kingdom” as in rips to annoy my kid since the game was announced. I’m 99.9% sure that’s wrong, but it’d be really funny if somehow it were right.

Yeah I checked now and the katakana is like eye tears but also I think most people figured it from the trailer showing a carving of a bunch of teardrop shapes that are presumably the artifacts you have to collect this time around.

It’s called Tears of the Kingdom because the entire game is just the years of light quests of TP mixed with sacred tears stealth sections of SS and Nintendo is scared to reveal this because they know everyone will be storming retailers en masse to get copies on opening day in international riots
