You will definitely have an easier time in this whole playthrough if you investigate more, try things out more even if you think it's absurd and if you keep things simple. Most people overthink the puzzles or paths to get to things and get themselves in a pickle. Loving watching this series so far

[@letsplayeasymode]

Hey there! Thank you so much for the advice and encouragement! This is definitely a lesson I've been learning as I go through this series and I've learned also to really just slow down and take in the scenery. Super awesome game! Thanks again for watching and a really awesome comment!

[@rhiannonhargreaves4989]

@@letsplayeasymode I am stuck at home with covid right now ( first time I've had it this whole pandemic) slowing down and taking it in and also reading everything on screen is what helped me for sure. I was in the same boat with the controls but now it's opposite and I have a rough time with PS controls because botw sucked me in completely and I played it non stop

[@letsplayeasymode]

@@rhiannonhargreaves4989 I'm so sorry you have covid! My whole family went through that gauntlet back in January. I didn't have it as bad as others I know, but I also had it worse than others too. It was about 5 days on the couch watching Netflix. My 7-year-old had it pretty rough for a few days, and my wife had a pretty bad for a few days as well. Rhiannon, I hope you feel better soon. Get some rest! 🙂

[@emmamiller.]

Breath of the Wild is the best thing I've ever bought. Best $60 I've ever spent. Also, this game's story trailer is outstanding, it brings tears to my eyes almost every time I watch it. And tbh it's also the best video game trailer I've ever watched. Tears of the Kingdom hype!! Oh, and you do hear some parts of the Main theme throughout the game and some classic songs like the great fairy fountain and Zelda's Lullaby.

[@letsplayeasymode]

Now that I've spent a small amount of time with it, I can see how this is going to be hard to put down! I'm actually trying to finish off some of the other games on the channel just so I can spend more time with this one. Thanks for watching! Much appreciated! :)

[@DeanCubed]

I think this play series will really help your channel take off, you are fantastic at this. Also, the reason your aim feels "off" is that when you get close to your target with the scope/bow, you are actually using gyro aim to get MORE PRECISION, but because you didn't know there were gyro motion controls, your hands themselves were the things making random movements on your aim. Don't reject the motion controls haha they really help the fine-tuning of your precision zoom aim.

[@letsplayeasymode]

Hey Dean! First off, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. I've only been at this for a short time, and I really didn't expect the attention that this game is bringing to the channel. So many people love this game and I'm becoming one of them! 🙂 When I first started this game , I had only owned the Switch for just a few hours and had never really played one before. I didn't even realize that there were motion controls. It's funny how long I kept messing up the aiming on the bow before I figured it out! Thanks again for watching and the awesome comment! 😁👍

[@Wazzzzzoooo]

I love the way you explore the game. This is easily my favorite game of all time, and was even my first zelda game! Theres so much this game has to offer im sure youll enjoy it

[@letsplayeasymode]

I'm actually starting to enjoy it even more than when I first started. I'm finally at the point in my playthrough where I'm hitting a groove and stride and it's hard to put the controller down and walk away. This is one of those games that offers such an incredible amount of freedom and flexibility to the player and far more of it than most other games I've ever played before. So enjoyable! Thanks so much Jasmine for watching and the great comment! 🙂

[@jacksoncherry9383]

I’m really enjoying your blind playthrough of this so far, especially how much you pay attention to the game’s details. For that reason I’ll probably check out your subnautica videos as well :)

[@1wngdngl]

It's interesting that you mention the only other Zelda you've played being the very first one, since a lot of people have compared Breath of the Wild to that one in terms of the freedom to explore and do things in whatever order you see fit. Most Zelda games have a much more linear focus ;)

[@letsplayeasymode]

Oh, that's funny! I didn't know that. I loved that game as a kid.

I never really played much of Zelda but I got this because it was the big Switch launch title. It's my 3rd favorite game of all time. It's truly a masterpiece and it took a while for it to click. Once I got the hang of it, I was having the best time.

Hi Hannah! Welcome! We're really glad to have you as a part of our community! Thanks for watching my videos! :)

[@SouthHill_]

This is pretty darn good quality for being a smaller channel. Will be fun to see you play through your first modern Zelda game, not that BOTW is quite like any other Zelda game; it is essentially a soft reboot of the franchise, changing the formula a fair bit by making it open world. And you may know this already, but most Zelda games are stand-alone, in that each Link and Zelda are descendants or reincarnations of ones from previous games, etc, so while there are tons of references and callbacks in BOTW you do not need any prior knowledge about the franchise to play it (or any other Zelda game for that matter). This game is essentially set at the very end of the "timeline", many thousands of years after any other game, to the point where all other games are referred to as the "Era of Myth", hence soft reboot.

[@letsplayeasymode]

First off, I just want to say thanks for watching my videos and I'm so glad that you're watching the series. I've definitely come a long way since these first few videos and I've learned so much about Breath of the Wild as far as how the game mechanics work and the psychology of the game. This has definitely been such a wonderful experience thus far. Also, I had no idea that these were not technically the same Link and Zelda in each game. Very interesting to learn that. Thanks for the info! And also thanks for bearing with me through these early episodes when I was struggling so much in the game! LOL

[@magnesg1459]

Subbed. Looking forward for your playthrough!

[@letsplayeasymode]

Haha! I actually really love both of these games too! It's been so fun learning the ropes to both of them!

[@TasteTheWine.]

2:30 Those were the titles I think for the 2nd (A Link to the Past) and Octorara of Time! Although I recall the name Link's Awakening, but not sure I played that if my little brother did. He has played more of the recent ones. The 2nd one was the side scrolling one correct?

I am definitely madly in love with this game and even though I probably still have a long journey ahead in it I'm pretty sure that when I review this game I'll be able to call it a masterpiece! 🙂

[@CelestiaGuru]

Two suggestions: (copied to part 6, just in case you don't see it here). 1. please turn up the sound level of the game's audio. Your own voiceover is very loud in comparison. 2. please move your own video window to the bottom left corner of the screen. It currently obscures game info that's shown in the upper right corner. The lower left corner of the game's screen is the least used by the game: it shows only an occasional "loading" indicator or an indicator that you're playing in "Master mode" (hard mode) if you decide to do that.

[@letsplayeasymode]

That's a really good idea! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@TasteTheWine.]

25:15 It is interesting hearing about other playthrough series you have done. Right now you are talking about Subnautica.

[@herezmikey4013]

Great stuff. I do feel like the game volume needs to be about twice as loud as you have it though. It's hard to hear relative to your voice.

[@letsplayeasymode]

Hey there! Thanks for watching and the feedback! When I go back and watch this video I think the same thing. It can be a little tricky sometimes because different games have different output levels so when balancing the audio on these videos, what works for one doesn't work for the other. Still something I'm trying to get used to as I'm just getting started! Thanks again! 🙂

@@dawg897 that one is funny, because honestly Horizon is one of my absolute favorite franchises of all time! The problem I had was that I started playing it when it first came out and I don't think anybody was interested in watching it because they were playing it for the first time as well. I waited a while and then when I got a ps5, I started playing it again but noticed that almost no one was watching the videos. That was one of those series that I really wanted to do because out of all the games that are on my channel that was the one I wanted to play the most, but with nobody watching it I decided to put it on hold. The thing is I've been so busy with the games that are actually on the channel I've been just staring at it every time I turn on my console longingly because that's the game I really want to play and I never have time to play it.
