Nintendos GREATEST LIE:Tears of the kingdom

[@Chronoflation]

"You're just running around in the post game". I have never heard anyone frame it this way and you're right. It's the best description of this game style I've ever heard. Most people don't even play post games when they exist, Zelda's literally never even done one before, and now they make games that are all post-game content. I appreciate this description so much, and the irony of a franchise that never made post games before making it's entire design philosophy post game content is just crazy

@@chgjake2230 Oh, I didn't know. I haven't finished Minish Cap. I was playing it on my 3DS (I had the ambassador program) and when I switched to a New 3DS from original, I lost my save data after I was around halfway into the game and I just never went back to it after that. It was unfortunate I didn't have a way to transfer my data to a micro SD card at the time. But I've been wanting to go back to it again, now that enough time has passed for me to go into it fresh again

[@jonathanhargraves2241]

This game is so divisive because of how much it actually added onto Breath of the Wild. Some Breath of the Wild fans and feel slighted because they were promised a game that would blow Breath of the Wild out of the water, when in reality they got "glorified DLC" for $70. Others see Tears of the Kingdom as so much of an upgrade that it can serve as a replacement. People who never played Breath of the Wild are the only winners in this situation, since they basically get to play a remixed and expanded version of that game without the feeling of déjà vu that drags the game down. Your mileage of this game comes from whether or not you think Nintendo added enough content to justify buying a $70 Switch game.

[@mrgerund3060]

[@jonathanhargraves2241]

*TECHNICALLY,* this is the darkest Zelda game of all time... if you're in the Depths.

[@mrmichaelencke]

I am on the opposite side. I really enjoyed how much had changed since I played Breath of the Wild. I especially enjoyed exploring the depths and I had a great time discovering the story, especially when I found a dragon and the Master Sword before finding the story part that led to it. The building mechanic was amazing though not really my thing. I loved just cruzing around and finding more challenges like the ones on the sky islands.

I mean it was basically extended dlc marketed as a solo game. It was to be expected.

[@losalphaenterprises]

I honestly find this to be an extremely hot take but at the same time I respect your opinion. Before Tears of the Kingdom, my #1 favorite Zelda game was Twilight Princess, even above Breath of the Wild. When Tears of the Kingdom released, I was blown away by the game. The world felt new despite being the same Hyrule we got to know in BotW. The mechanics, the exploration, everything felt incredible. The combat system was hugely improved and the poetry of time passing by comparing the maps of BotW and TotK felt incredible. The cinematic final battle in the sky was breath taking and the way Ganondorf was so focused on power he lost his true self by the end... I didn't think this game would be able to surpass Twilight Princess, but it somehow did and that's why it's one of my favorite games of all time. I fully respect your opinion, I simply don't think I can agree with it, since TotK, to me, doesn't feel like a BotW rehash

[@theofflinewarrior]

Twilight Princess is my 2nd favorite, and to me it just felt like a copy and paste, they did add new gameplay elements but that wasn’t enough for me as those were never stuff i wanted from the game to begin with.

If it was just $60 or $50 dlc then I wouldn't feel so ripped off. They didn't really do much to make the game better. They just added more. It was fun but I kinda regret it.

[@TomMooreT2S]

I sold my copies of both… They’re not bad… They just… aren’t interesting anymore… Retcons… (or so everyone thought until the updated timeline making them standalone from the rest of the past titles…) Shrines… (that drag from beginning to end) Lack of value… (Exploration felt wasted…) The only reason I played both is for what little value I did find in both games… Not only I found Jules attractive (i.e. hottest NPC in the game… even when she has nothing to do with the story and having no side quest… but it’s kinda the bitter reality for what I did find appealing in- Okay, I also wanted to upload clips to Red Arcade… until they stopped doing TOTK compilations anymore, so I bunched my clips together and made my own…), but my biggest value is the three leviathans. Now both games… never established ANYTHING at all about them… But somehow… I found loose references between them and the Three Mage Sisters from Kirby Star Allies. I don’t know if you have any history with Kirby at all, but if you look into these characters’ (tearjerking) backstories… they always point me to the leviathans… So I devised a headcanon to correlate them… But overall, it felt like I was doing a chore rather than going on an adventure of epic proportions… But the fact that I find the two games uninteresting isn’t the shocker… The bigger shocker is… Nintendo didn’t care what they were making… Given that it was 10 years since Breath of the Wild started development back in 2013… rumor has it that members of the dev teams of both titles got so fed up spending that much time on just this specific era of Zelda alone… to the point they never cared how it was shaping… If it’s true, I don’t blame them, but it seemed like TOTK underwent a development nightmare that came at the cost of dedication… to the point where there wasn’t any left… Bottom line, while Zelda titles in the past had taken jogs to the left before, they were nowhere as drastic as Tears of the Kingdom… This is an era of Zelda I want to put behind… But I can’t go a single day without someone making any reference to it… It’s like… the bitter parts of the past just wants to crawl back to me… no matter how much I want to dismiss them…

There’s not very many characters who actually forgot Link. The majority of them just treat him like a regular. And the Calamity partially is Ancient History, and was being introduced for the first time to young schoolchildren. I do agree that the game is, disappointingly, not very dark at all aside from the literal darkness of the depths. Perhaps Nintendo was referencing the despair the player may feel after completing the geoglyph story quest?

[@bolt2569]

yep didn't fill me with despair tho, I guessed Zelda was the dragon before and its a predictable story throughout that has an obvious resolution in, obviously, Zelda ain't dying, or forever a dragon or whatever, there not doing that in a game technically marketed towards kids, they are gonna wrap it up in a bow and say look nothing bad happens in the end, AKA nothing happens in the end, links arm is fine, Zelda is fine, the world is fine, yay

[@WulfilaBelmont]

I hope Nintendo brings Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess to the Switch. I want them to be accessible to the new generation of Zelda fans.

[@theofflinewarrior]

I think at this point it’s too late, but on the switch 2 would be nice

[@WulfilaBelmont]

@@theofflinewarrior It's not too late. So long as the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, or also gets it. It would be very unwise to release ports on a system that hasn't sold nearly as much as the Switch. The switch is nearing the* DS, and PS2 in total sales.

[@mkjjoe]

Clarification: Nintendo absolutely _never_ promised the "darkest game" or even a specifically "dark game". That misunderstanding comes from an IGN interview when the reveal came out. The interviewer made a comparison to MM as a darker sequel, Aonuma only said the trailer looked darker than what we had seen before but he couldn't say how it would turn out in the actual game. They never ever alluded to the tone of the game, that was 100% on fans and media speculating. With the few trailers we got in the following years, it was clear that at the very least there would be more of a contrast, as Zelda usually does, between brighter and darker moments. It's pretty sad to see people still disappointed nowadays for a misconception that people have kept spreading without checking, or just because it's more engaging to go for extremes. Korok seeds and the surface did have more changes than what you seem to imply, personally it was remixed enough to justify revisiting from a new angle and with new abilities. But overall I completely share your feelings about the experience. TOTK received a lot of effort but it was spread too thin on a massive scope that could have used more focus. Sky islands way undercooked, depths way too shallow, temples aesthetically great but puzzles are shallow, story telling is completely undermined by forcing itself into a structure that was only meant for BOTW. Can't wait to see the next direction with a new setting on new hardware.

[@betterlatethannever4529]

The story is fine (except for that cop out ending). The real issue is the presentation, and the fact that npcs don’t learn information along with you because Link is a mute when it matters

[@LinkMountaineer]

@@betterlatethannever4529 It wasn’t a cop out, though. It literally did the same thing as give Link his childhood back in Ocarina of Time. What information would they learn? Until the end of the game, as far as anyone including Link knows, the person in the past is just someone who “looks like Zelda”. Impa even says as much if you paid attention when Link describes the first geoglyph vision to her.

[@TureModder-l9k]

tears of the kingdom is a strange game because at the same time is good dlc, a mediocre sequel and terrible Zelda. and when I think that Anouma said to delay the game for a year so as not to disappoint the fans, I really can't understand what he meant. How could it be more disappointing than that?

[@theofflinewarrior]

I wondered that too, when it finally came out i would think “why did this take so long”

If nintendo would work on the things you talked about here and in your botw video, the result could be a piece that surpasses ocarina of time in leaps and bounds. I have trouble evaluating whether totk and botw are better or not because the nostalgia hit i get from oot can send me into another dimension.(I also really need to play twilight princess) That said, i wonder how ai will impact nintendo's product pipeline... I cant remember if it was nintendo or gamefreak who swore they would never use it, but man if they can find a way to use ai to generate pike macro content and use people to generate micro inter character stuff... Maybe there is a way to structure the work so we can generate some kind of acceration in depth/emotion/connection. Whatever the case, keep the vids coming bro.

[@MABG19981130]

Played botw, and played totk, i loved them both. I dont disagree with the story, i think they coulve definetely made a good story and the dungeons coulve been so much better. In defence for the game, totk was designed as a game to be played by itself, so you couldve gotten into it without playing botw, thats why the sheika tech was mission with no explination. The game was very "gameplay first" all around, and the story was a bonus. Not everything about Zelda games were the story, the puzzles and exploration made the game fun and interesting to play while making you feel like a full fledged warrior. The nature of open world games makes it near impossible to keep cohesion when you need to take 2 whole games into account for a story. The gameplay is different enough to be distinct enough from botw thanks to crafting, which enables lots of more silly ways to deal with problems, like creating a mech and sending it to an enemy camp. Now that bootlicking is over, the bad; story barely connects to itself, its frustrating how the story barely connects to botw events, it solidified itself as not being part of the mainline story and being its own continuity, the lack of pressence from ganondorf in the main game outside of the ending and begining. The dungeons were very open and not linesr enough to pose an interesting puzzle. Pretty much every problem with the game is about its story, because the sky islands were pretty cool to get to and explore with their puzzles, and the dephts gave us the best character arc for our banana loving fiend, the last fight was amazing and the best ending for a zelda game, the combat was largely the same but how you approach is up to you and your inventory thanks to fusing and exploration is a lot more open and feels so much more different. Not gonna call this video bar or anything because i disagree, i do still say, its not a game for people that care about the lore and story of the franchise, which is a massive shame, because it wouldve been so much better if they had just made traditional linear puzzles, made more sky islands with dungeons instead of one note puzzles, and respected the events from botw. The game was some of the most fun ive bad playing in the switch, and that comes from someone thats played almost every zelda game but the original 2 and the oracle games.

[@rosswalenciak3739]

I agree completely. I was very disappointed when the TotK story felt aside to the BotW story. I wanted TotK to build on BotW, but instead we got the weird time travel retcon story. If it's the same world only a few years after, it should have expanded on the original story. It's certainly weird that some sheika tech (from Pura mostly) didn't disappear, but all the shrines and guardians etc. did. I couldn't ever get the thought out of my mind of "where did all the sheika tech go?" Also, my first game was Skyward Sword, and it got me hooked on not only the storytelling style, but certainly the lore. It is weird to me to see this other race of people who are completely absent from SS being called the beginning of Hyrule. I know the LoZ timeline has always been a mess, but it still seems odd that in a story that talks about the beginning of Hyrule and has both sky islands and dragons as major components, there are no major story references to Skyward Sword.

[@Gunzmo]

The depth is also just an iverted version of the ground map

OK, but that was an interesting way to use it. You could decide how to traverse one by the knowledge of the other. I for one thought it was cool when I first discovered that fact.

[@LinkMountaineer]

I don’t think you understand what a sequel is. New story, new abilities, the Koroks are absolutely not in the same spots except for maybe a few, a small percentage. You overly simplified this far too much to really even be considered a fair take. Also, the Sky islands have no relation to the story? Yeah, except half of the main dungeons in the game. You literally only analyzed this surface level.

[@burgerwolfbrown735]

I do have a few ideas of how the game could’ve been better I know it’s going to be long Removing the depths to have more focus on the sky islands Make the sky islands Skyloft with the Zonai being hylians that stayed in eventually through magic or time they changed into Zonai maybe in the sky islands still have people with their own stories with their own legend on of what happened in Skyward Sword perhaps they call Zelda Hylia because they believe or know that Zelda and her bloodline is the human form of the goddess Hylia Gannondorf being the same Gannondorf after a battle with a version of Link and Zelda over 10,000 years ago since there has been more than one Calamity Gannon over the ages so it’s more then 10,00p Gannondorf’s body has been sealed maybe the theory of the ancient Shiekah draining him for ancient energy can be true as the thousands of years of draining has left him as what is seen now his hatred and malice building until Link and Zelda get too close When Gannondorf breaks as malice causes the castle to rise what if it showed malice wrapping around the towers, dormant divine beasts and shrines crushing them explaining what happened to them. The playable character being Zelda since Botw was more focused on Zelda all the memories focus on her even the dlc memories focus on Zelda and struggle to awaken her sealing power the arm replacement could still happen if Zelda tries to use her sealing power but the malice gets to her before it works maybe even Link tries going for an attack but the master sword still ends up breaking Instead of Link being sent back in time he’s captured and maybe Gannondorf wants to replace his drained and withered body with Link’s. Zelda’s power being linked with 3 virtues of the Tri-Force wisdom, power and courage in Botw her sealing power only worked after she showed courage by jumping into danger to protect Link perhaps she now has face her fears to reawaken her power. The secret stone and sages are used to repair the master sword with an extra sage to bring back the connection between the Kokori and Koroks maybe even having 7 sages (Hylian, Gerudo, Zora, Rito, Goron, Shiekah and Kokori/Korok with Zonia providing knowledge of how it’s done) Perhaps Zelda learns more about her past lives like Shiek, Tetra and Twilight Princess What if when following the fake you don’t get a good look at him until the castle revealing the fake looks more like the ocarina of time Link since that’s the version of Link Gannondorf thinks about the most the first Link to beat him perhaps the final boss fight is Gannondorf turning into Dark beast Gannon the boar form

[@Giggles_iJest]

*To further BotW's sheer superiority, I will say this:* TotK's story is bad, Fs with pre-established key lore aspects, absolutely shatters all the Master Sword's reputation, unga bunga buff Dorf with little to no ambition other than "me strongest there is" uninteresting, nearly everyone forgot who you were despite this game taking place a mere 4-6 years after Wild, Rauru existing is an insult, no Fi, no breaking of the Demise curse despite it being falsely hinted being the case what with all the Skyward Sword PR this game got (I distinctly remember Skyward Sword being advertised as heavily linked to TotK somehow which, again, is misleading as on Nintendo's part), no dog petting, no hookshot spiderman swinging with the physics being suuuuch a driving factor in these newer Zelda games, no underwater exploration instead a damp dark smelly overgrown cave can't see jack, COLLOSAL missed opportunity to hitch the princess with her handsome knight in shining armor, no stakes since Zelda's sacrifice was reversed giving the story little to no agency or consequence, Link as a protagonist felt nonexistent feels like everyone else was the star of the show not the guy who's saving all their 🫏s, no Link backstory before any of this went down aka no Arryl 2 or Granny 2 aka NOT WIND WAKER, didn't make me cry like Twilight Princess, dungeons are STILL NOT dungeons (pulling a couple levers to open a door and then be treated with literally the same copy-paste cutscene at the very end with each champion? Yeah naw), sky islands hardly anything worth noting although they are pretty asf to look at, I was expecting a totally NEW revamped endgame super Saiyan master sword golden tier 4 legendary new hilt new everything but naw same design with a booboo scar and hilariously less powerful... hoverbike autobuild pales in comparison to THE Master Cycle As a game, sure, it's leagues above BotW but BotW will never be topped as a one-in-a-lifetime *experience* TotK was an overblown $70 DLC and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

*cracks fingers* ahhhhhh totk.... I've been seeing a lot of videos lately about totk. Speaking about how it's not a good sequel. It's just more botw. But honestly... I would have to disagree. I have played n beat botw 3 or 4 times. I have only played n beat totk once at this point. I'm currently replaying breath of the wild right now. Because I craved that botw experience n not that totk experience. Botw is a lot more likeeee simple??? 🤔🤔 and straight forward. It's a lot more basic of an experience than totk. I craved it's simplicity. The bombs you get from the sheikah slate. All those abilities i craved to use them. The regular elemental arrows instead of attaching x y or z onto an arrow. The way puzzles were completed. The way shrines were completed. Breath of the wild is much moreeee like there's a specific way to do things even though you have the freedom of attacking the Devine beats in any order you want to. Totk on the other hand. Fucking loved that game so God damn much. That was hands down one of my favorite first time experiences playing a game. It made me happy that I was 23 when the game came out because I was old enough to understand and appreciate how good the game was. Totk gives gives you so much creativity. And I loved those dungeons. The fuckin watter temple in the sky swimming up that waterfall for the first time opening the paraglider... it was beautiful. The fire dungeon underground. I fuckin loved it. I disagree that totk is "just more botw" because it isn't. And all this shit talking about totk is honestly making me wanna go back n replay the game in the middle of my botw playthrough.

[@anthonyalvarez3595]

I believe totk did what a good sequel is supposed to do. More of what I got in the first game. More of what I loved in the first game. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Add to it. And that's exactly what nintendo did. I believe that it is worth playing botw n totk. Just to see how much better botw was supposed to be. Like a recent sequel that I can look at n be like they did a little to much fixing here n broke what we fell in love with is spiderman 2. I beat the first one 5 or 6 times. N the second game I beat 3 times. Let's talk about that combat cause that's only place I feel got the little too much fixing. It got dumbed down significantly. But they added a parry button. The combat is still good. I still really enjoy it. But I just feel like there was more to do in the first game. With totk I feel like Nintendo really like took a microscope to botw n asked where could we improve. Instead of needless improving like spiderman 2 combat. Adding the free fall mechanic WHICH IS A COMPLETEEEE GAME CHANGER IMO ALONG W THE GLIDE SUIT. The endless amounts of ways shrines/puzzles could be solved in totk where as opposed to botw. In botw it was more like there were more like specific ways to do shit. Idk if I'm making sense here. But I do feel like totk is a great sequel to botw. Even with reusing korok seed locations n stuff. The way you get the dark armor or rather where you get it is different and i actually found that in totk before I ever found it in botw. Idk. I disagree with the arguments on why totk is a bad sequel. I think if you played botw you have to experience totk

Not because of hate, but because I had finished 100% of it and even then, I PERSONALLY DO lack creativity for the tyoe of machines that make this game fun. I like Minecraft for real because what you build isn't forcefully made out of moving parts, it can look like a machine, but it's not. You can build almost eveything with some cleverness and it may not even be functional, just a statue. Minecraft also gives you new variations of things to look at, a Jungle Biome may always be made of the same blocks, but it's unlikely two will be identical unless you're playing a very specific seed.

@@Kooptj interest....whats the killer of open world games? big open worlds with fuck all to do in them....wow that's both zelda games...point proven. there is zero things that justify totk 7 year development, it was a game that wasn't necessary, the story is really really bland. its a time travel story..you know, the same fuckin story we got in skywards sword, ocarina of time, majoras mask.. really original. NOT a single thing in totk was worth the 7 year wait or price tag. its just facts....look how fast peoples attention and excitement died for the game, after a week people were over it because the mechanics are literal copy paste from botw so there was nothing new to figure out(i mean new glitches, map breaks) everyone that worked in botw also work in totk. why? because its a copy and paste game lol. its ok.....nintendo is ok with the fact a game they figured would be a masterpiece fizzled out fast, you should be ok with it as well. maybe we will get a NEW zelda game on the next console and by new i mean new i.p. no more world copy and pasting. shall i go on?.........

​​@@codyrisling3253don't know if my point was clear enough but I agree with everything you said

[@Wingsofredemptionfan336]

Personally botw is the worst zelda game imo and out of the 7 3d ones botw is 7th and totk is the 5th

[@pogethedoge]

I understand a lot of people's frustrations with the game, but i disagree with a lot of the points. When i saw some people saying it was very similar to botw, my only thought was "More botw? Hell yeah!" and then proceeded to pump 100 or so hours into the game. My only real complaint is that the story is structured the exact same but doesn't keep the aspects that made the story in the first game work (mainly links amnesia and the desolate state of the world) but other than that, everything is awesome. The gameplay is absolutely top notch and the exploration felt more fresh than people give it credit for. If you want something more structured and focused, this is not the game for you. It feels like the Mario Sunshine of the Zelda series.

True man. Great points and am enjoying your vids! Keep up the fun topics to speak about. 😎

Appreciate it!

[@snasy_boi]

You seem to have a sh*t ton of potential. Remember me when you get famous lol

[@theofflinewarrior]

Hands down one the best comments I’ve ever gotten, Thank you so much 🥹🙏

[@Kooptj]

Just wanted to add proof that I was also here since the beginning

[@stixmanrules7791]

100 percent agree

[@felipevalladares8999]

This is the worse take i have ever see about why TotK

[@spectreshot8536]

Don't worry, young buck. I remember being 3, blowing in the Zelda cartridge and booting up my NES. You aren't on that level, yet. I'm still on the good side of 40 (barely). When you hit 30, you'll move the goal posts. You'll be fine!

[@theofflinewarrior]

Appreciate it brother 🙏

When you dont have a lot of subscribers, make a click bait video. Good job

[@jonihlenfeldt6919]

Yeah botw was shit in my mind, but totk was amazing. Only autists understand. Botw was an empty Zelda game, totk was the same but you could build…. If you think botw was a Zelda game, you wrong imo. Empty game, totk made it so you could build in between

[@chooongusbug724]

BotW is shit, Tears of the Kingdom is not. Beta of the Wild absolutely sucked but to say it wasn't a Zelda game? That's a bogus take, BotW took so much influence from Zelda 1 as did TotK...You gonna say Zelda 1 was not a Zelda game either? Zelda is a series that always pushed the envelope...That was lost in the GC/Wii era of Zelda where they all became formulaic and boring. But ALBW, BotW and TotK showed that Zelda is still good and can still change things up in a way that people wouldn't expect 🤷‍♀️

[@mememan1041]

if you dont like it dont play it

[@chgjake2230]

This is such a closed minded, reductive mindset when it comes to a series you otherwise love. We just want it to be better. Sure, one person complaining about an entry into the series won’t do much, but when several do it at the same time, it shifts the audience reception as a whole, and just maybe, Nintendo will notice. We as consumers need to demand better, otherwise we become mindless, open wallets for game companies.

[@Kooptj]

Doesn't change the fact that TotK still sucks regardless of how many people play it

[@Beekeeper8011]

That's like me ordering a pizza at my favorite shop, paying full price, and then finding the pizza crawling with cockroaches when I open it at home, only for the pizza parlor owner to say "If you don't like it, don't eat it" when I call to complain.

[@theofflinewarrior]

I can’t know i don’t like it if i don’t play it

[@NuiYabuko]

​@@chgjake2230 "Better" as in what? Who decides that? I have my issues with TotK, mainly that they made it more gated than BotW, and most of them are a result of the team wanting to appeal to the "traditional Zelda fans."

[@critterwyatt]

What a fake gamer...a fake take. A fake ideal... Totk has its problems. You missed all of them and you talked the Sony 360 arguments. They have no actual take. Omg the koroks in the same spots and same things.... Dude, you getting a block

[@theofflinewarrior]

You good bro?

[@elcalabozodelandroide2]

2:44 i look it up and there isn't a single damn place with a source for that aka nintendo never said that ; kotaku did
