One Final Look At The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

[@thatguybis1997]

Check out the end screen for an interesting cover of the Song of Healing I found the other day! It's...eccentric to say the least. Here's a link to the video as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmXdZXmFe8Z7qqs

[@tyronem.3413]

I retired from my job 2 months after BotW came out. My last two months of work were spent finding time to play during my graveyard shifts. It really does feel like a lifetime ago.

[@mfz65]

I'm hoping Tears of the Kingdom will be a darker Zelda 🌑 That's why Majora's Mask is my favorite in the series

[@thatguybis1997]

We’ll see very soon!

[@leobe2104]

This could be a gameplay spoiler: Some people said that in some parts of the game it's really scary, not really Majoras Mask scary but pretty much like a horror game

[@lucasliftslight]

It is!

[@PilaCiu]

I believe Aonuma himself confirmed the game will be one of the darkest installments in the series.

[@BitchChill]

BOTW already is dark

[@TheAaronRodgersTao]

There are a lot of people that simply don’t mind the weapon durability system because they realize it’s necessary function.

[@Lexi-M]

I’m one of those. I really don’t mind it! I also don’t mind the rain. It’s definitely annoying, but it adds an extra layer where you have to plan around rain. You have the little weather thing in the bottom right corner of the that shows you if rain is coming and I always checked that before making a big climb. When I imagined the game without it, I felt it would be boring not to have that aspect. It forces you to build a campfire & wait it out. If it never rained I wouldn’t have ever had a reason to build campfire in BOTW.

[@waltermh111]

I dont mind the rain except that it happens too often. As for durability, I don't mind it and it makes me think about the value of the weapons. But what makes it annoying is how hard it is to expand your weapon inventory. I like the koroks, but it can take awhile to expand your inventory so you will be struggling to decide on kept weapons for so long into the game.

[@AuRelixRa]

I waited a year to play BOTW because I didn’t have a switch. It’s really wild how time has flown since I started playing in 2018! Can’t wait for TOTK to finally arrive.

[@mastermage23]

I could not forget this day if I wanted to. It was the day my grandmother died...where her final gift to me was the money for this game. I wasn't a little kid anymore, but she knew that these games fascinated me...and so she handed me one last gift to "get myself something fun" a month prior. I kid you not, I received the call of her passing just after the download of this game was done. Couldn't go without making sure she delivered, I say. Since then Breath of the Wild has been a special game for that fact alone, but playing further made its specialty so much more apparent: I first defeated all 4 Blights and bested the Ancient Weapons, but wondered when I would get to use the Master Sword. Then, after I had done it all I went to the Forgotten Woods in frustration...and discovered it had been there all this time, ready for the taking. AFTER getting enough health, too, which kind of blew my mind. Only then I understood that this game was not like any other Zelda I ever played before...because I never played the original Zelda on NES. It was so much like that, just as described by the developers: It was just you, the overworld and some hints how to progress. This left me in awe, even taking some edge off the urgency in that I felt like I was encouraged to explore by the game even in the face of the Blood Moons and Zelda's pleas. The next playthrough I changed my approach radically and ended up enjoying it more, focusing further on the exploration and discovery aspect of the game. Even with the gripes I had with this game I loved it...and Master Mode gave me the challenge I wanted after some time. I didn't go for the DLCs even now, but I can't help but feel moved to do so now. Tears of the Kingdom is shaping up to be as grand of a game as it is a labour of love and passion, an infectious passion I want to use to delve into this wonderful game again and enter this seamless world again.

[@li9220]

This video made me so nostalgic.Thank you!! And btw you have a very soothing voice

[@dabird2120]

I know totk will beat botw as my favorite game but I will often return to botw for my guardian unaliving spree

[@jd-wn1po]

can’t wait for the sequel!

[@thatguybis1997]

Almost a week left!

[@TimtamYoutube]

I remember coming home from school and my older brother bought the switch from bestbuy on release day and played the game for hours.

[@noobstoise1024]

I do remember that day, I got my Switch and BOTW and it was hard to put down for a good while. Also, there was cake

[@thatguybis1997]

Cake is always tough to bears

[@michaelfidler6223]

I love weapon durability such a divisive thing lol

[@michaelfidler6223]

@Falcon2 exactly, I do understand if people have a problem with it I guess it’s my thing that no game has ever made me try more stuff with the combat and you do things you’d never try if you always had a royal broadsword that never broke or whatever weapon

[@michaelfidler6223]

@Falcon2 same

[@fregatopolitis]

No spoilers: Based on what I've seen, I believe that 90% of your complaints will be solved in TotK!

[@paulnewhouse5126]

Great video, you nailed every point perfectly. Again I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with Tears of the kingdom!

[@thatguybis1997]

Hahaha thanks for watching paulie.

[@pixywings]

You say it feels like a lifetime ago when BOTW came out. To me it feels like yesterday. LOL I remember geeking out and squealing like the fan girl I am at all sorts of cool little discoveries I made while playing. I think TOTK is going to be even better because they are taking all of the great things from BOTW and adding to it. They listened to the fans and addressed many of their complaints about things in BOTW and hopes for the sequel. There are so many cool new things that they added to the game that we don't even know about yet. I am soooooo excited!!! Just one more week! AAAAAAAAH!!! That being said I do want to go into this game as blind as possible, so I have really only watched the actual trailers for it and that's about it. I've been trying to avoid the leaked details about it. I am a little upset that I learned the name of the dragon person and the original owner of the green arm... But I don't think it is a seriously huge spoiler, so I'll just have to get over it. I have a feeling that is revealed near the beginning of the game anyway. I have a feeling that the towers and filling out the map probably hasn't changed very much. There will be a lot of new and different things in TOTK, but I don't think there really is much they could do to make the towers different.

[@Lexi-M]

I’m in the same boat where I want to go into it as blind as possible! I have only watched the trailers officially released by Nintendo and I’ve been avoiding spoilers. I took off work Friday12 - Wednesday17 to spend every waking moment getting lost in TOTK. I cannot wait!

[@pixywings]

@@Lexi-M ROFL I also am taking off work on the 12th.

[@TheAlibabatree]

I have a hard time believing they will be able to top one of the greatest games of al time. But, i guess we’ll see in a week.

[@sneakythesnail7034]

Found you in my recommended feed and really enjoyed your video! Also 8:05 lol!

[@thatguybis1997]

Dude I’m so mad I thought that would just be in the editor…..

[@sneakythesnail7034]

@@thatguybis1997 It happens! I think it gives the video more character lol.

[@AuRelixRa]

I really wish the interiors of the Divine Beasts had been more visually distinct. It makes sense why they all look similar from a story perspective, but I think it was a major reason why the Divine Beast dungeons feel like such a letdown.

[@steve4812]

I don't get it. The developers clearly stated that thry wanted to stray off from the traditional zelda formula. Yet everyone is complaining about how it is not like previous zeldas. BOTW has more fans than traditional zelda games and it is a fact. The only reason why it sold 30 million copies was the open structure(instead of the old formula).

[@AuRelixRa]

@@steve4812 That's totally fair! Honestly I prefer BOTW over the older Zelda games but I also fully understand the dungeons critique so I'm of two minds on the issue.

[@nuh-uhbro765]

@@steve4812 You’re just arguing to argue, take the L. Nobody is complaining just because the formula got changed. In most ways everybody agrees that the changes were a good thing. People complain about the divine beasts because they’re a horrible step down and not a good replacement for what came before. BOTW innovated in many ways and making 15 minute long copy and pasted “dungeons” with a copy and pasted boss is not one of those innovations. It’s a valid complaint, your defense is nonsensical, go to bed.

[@steve4812]

@@nuh-uhbro765 Nah vah ruta and naboris are the best puzzles in any zelda game. And regarding the "copy, paste bosses", go read the book 'creating a champion' book to see why they made the design choice(to make the blights look similar), instead of being querulous.

[@TheAlibabatree]

@@nuh-uhbro765 There’s absolutely no reason for “themed dungeons”, other than people’s attachment to nostalgia. The Divine Beasts were amazing. They actually made sense within the context of the world and story and logic. And they didn’t take so long that they made you forget the point of the game: exploration.

[@infinitecurlie]

Cant wait for TOTK. I hope there are dungeons, it was cool going through the divine beasts but having our hand held and the interiors looking the same was...It sucked imo lol. I just recently replayed BOTW on Master Mode and I'm replaying Age Of Calamity and hopefully Skyward Sword before TOTK releases (I have no life) lol. 😭

[@thatguybis1997]

Nah those are all classics, I wanna replay them too :)

[@TheAlibabatree]

Hand held?

[@about_average8808]

Apparently there are actual dungeons this time, like 6 of them. Some say there’s smaller ones scattered too.

[@mfz65]

Please, don't "say-ak" my ass, Link. *clicks subscribe

[@michaellane5381]

I''m hoping that beyond TotK... At some point a Zelda game in this style has questline's... like actual multiple quests we can do or not.... Like Skyrim.

[@etiennelubert4668]

Knowing that you know NOTHING I am def coming back to see ur reaction

[@FleshToDust]

Maybe this will get 28 million views too.

[@thatguybis1997]

God I hope so 😂

[@KoalaMarch77]

20 already!

[@netweed09]

What would you actually _rate_ Breath though, in a nutshell? For me, it's a 7/10 - and that's being _extremely_ generous. I agree with _some_ of your points: but honestly for me, once the novelty and sparkle of ''being Freeee'' (and the _Amazing_ sights of the Zora region I luckily 1st explored) wore off - the game simply fell apart for me. For sure: innovate Nintendo, ahem, _Break some_ stuff even. But to totally break (remove) the Dungeons: the Life-blood of the Zelda series??

[@jakemiller1814]

One of the best games of all time ❤

[@TheAlibabatree]

As a 33 year old, i gotta say, most of the complaints in this video feel like “old dude complaining that things arent the same.” You didn’t provide any good arguments, just simply “i miss the old Zelda games”.

[@thatguybis1997]

Where are the tools that created innovative dungeon design and puzzle solving? Why are the Divine Beasts all structured so incredibly similarly and all play out the exact same way? Why is weapon durability such a pain in the butt? I may miss the old Zelda games, but I certainly provided some arguments. Whether you deem them good or not is your prerogative.

[@TheAlibabatree]

@@thatguybis1997 i have no idea what that first sentence is supposed to mean. As far as the second sentence, old Zelda games had similar dungeons as well. They all “played out the same”. You find a key, unlock a door, use an item, defeat the boss. Its always been formulaic. Its just a new formula now. “Why is weapon durability such a pain in the butt?” Thats not an argument lol.

[@NorthSudan]

I was so happy that totk took its story so much more seriously than botw, the part where zelda gives impa her bracelet and then you travel to the future and realize your old lady friend was wearing the same bracelet the whole time was so good
