[@metalhead-forever]

My first game was The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time, then Twilight Princess, A Link To The Past, Majora's Mask, Skyward Sword, Minish Cap and Last Breath Of The Wild. I'm replaying the childhood era then later adulthood era (Hero of Time vanished). Majora's Mask became my main favorite because how dark, creepy and disturbing it is love the soundtracks in it though. I'm gonna play the others I never played before (only retros I play on emulator but for 3d ones I buy physical copy)

@Leeloo_the_fox The story was awesome, and fit the game perfectly. That's what a video game's story is meant to do. Just because it wasn't told in a traditional method, doesn't mean it was half-assed. As a matter of fact, the idea that every person will have a unique path through the game created a unique challenge. The way it's told is a solution to that challenge. If you wanted to argue that the characters were bad or that there were plot holes, that's different. I don't mean to say this is the best story ever written either, not even in the series, but it serves it's purpose as being backstory and character motivation.

Well that's a bit too much. Super Mario 64 was not just a 3D platformer when it came out. It was THE 3D platformer. Breath of the Wild was definitely a great experience for sure, but ever since it was released, it got surpassed in many ways. We got Red Dead Redemption 2 which had a more detailed world and a better story line, Death Stranding had better terrain shape and traversal, and Elden Ring had more variety in combat, whether we're talking lower-level enemies or bosses. Super Mario 64 caused a huge wave of 3D platformers to be made and released. Even if you have games that surpassed SM64 in some aspects, they were completely overshadowed by SM64 despite them trying to improve upon it and I bet you can't even name most of them. Breath of the Wild didn't cause RDR2, Death Stranding or Elden Ring to be made. And those games did certain things better than BOTW. The thing that BOTW has over these 3 games though is that it is more open-ended with it's design so adding and improving game elements is much more possible without the original formula breaking. By what we've seen with the gameplay trailers, the developers acknowledged it and went with it. It still doesn't make it fair to compare BOTW or TOTK to SM64, but the games are most certainly diamonds compared to the average AAA games that we've been getting for a while now.

[@drakeboutte1466]

Agreed, but the thing they were truly focusing on here was exploration, which they NAILED tremendously. So take the usual incredible stories of past Zelda games, mix that with the god tier open world sandbox of BOTW, and you have a game unlike any other before it. It’s a MASTAHPIECE

[@ayayron8221]

yeah, and no post-game stuff also kinda breaks the immersion. Hope the world can be explored after the end if there isn't a third game coming out.

[@KharlCabrera]

I just HATED that mecanic... sincerely. Have a lot of complains about how it unravel the story of the game and the way we find them...

[@Hesketh32]

Yeah the fact that "barely" anything happens after Link wakes up. Obviously bc they prioritized exploration and finding out about the past which it still has some credit and it was fun imo. But our actions, per se, contributed to a very small fraction of the story

[@coasterfreak0471]

This music STILL gives me chills. Cannot wait for Tears of the Kingdom!

[@TeddieBean]

The music in TotK is EVEN BETTER 🎉🎉🎉

[@GoldenSun5631]

That ending clip with link and zelda in the field with the original zelda theme all orchestral... when it happens in the game, when the music stops and the screen cuts to black... I vividly remember seeing that after beating the game for the first time 6 years ago.... and just putting the controller down and giving my TV a standing ovation.

[@cyberdude4]

@@TeddieBean Bro the music all you heard was a trailer theme which will not be in the game. Don't expect the music to be up to that quality.

This game has so many memories for me. I cannot wait for tears of the kingdom, it’s time for all of us to experience that first love we had with Breath of The Wild. Thank you Nintendo for this amazing game that you have made for us. Now- Citizens of Hyrule, we only have one week!

[@mrcwillis6970]

I’ll never forget the amazing journey that was breath of the wild. Can’t wait to for tears of the kingdom and to see how this story ends. ❤

[@Big_Dai]

Amazing journey? Of repeating the same actions hundreds of times or "discovering" a small variation of the same thing elsewhere? Get over yourself.. Maybe play an actually designed game with focus, limits and builds up to an actual story. Not thinking that BotW is the best game ever made because it kept you distracted for hours with the same level of challenge anywhere you went, as the game had to be designed that way for all player's potential choices. And no, Lynels are not challenging.. they just take time, and a lenghty chore does not equate to quality.

[@mrcwillis6970]

I never said this was the best game ever. I said it was a “amazing journey” exploring the world and being able to do all sorts of tricks using what the game offers you, finding out about the world and it’s past etc. And don’t tell me to get over myself, over a game, and telling me to play something that’s “designed, has focus, limits, story” botw has all that. If you don’t think botw is as good as people say that’s fine, you have your opinions and thoughts. No need to be like that.

[@eemoot]

​@@Big_Dai Why are you here? Just to hate? For god's sake get yourself a damn life. And also, there's an idea called "opinions," maybe look it up, it's actually very interesting. Also, Breath of the Wild is an incredibly designed and detailed game. Its a fact. Not an opinion. No matter how bad you think the game is, get your facts right and maybe your lifeless hate will make sense.

[@pinnythepenguin]

I realised why I love botw- I did not spend enough time outdoors as a child, which I regret and this world feels like a opportunity to relive those days. Had similar feelings while playing the witcher.

[@kimduckun3703]

My favorite part of watching Tears of the Kingdom from someone playing on a emulator on reddit was the sheer frame drops in the opening start which is the Great Plateua but Underground called the Great Hyrule ruins and seeing all texture issues. Also I love in story we learn that Ganondorf was Hylias first champion in sealing away the malice of Demise. Then at end of game we learn that Demise used the malic take over ganondorf making Calamity Ganon so he can return. Ganondorf is good guy making a new kingdom but sadly turns into demise when Malice takes him over and link splits the bodys. Also it was dope playing as Ganondorf at end of game glad see they used the the assets for other characters in Hyrule Warriors for this game. Also the Death Mountain dungeon with return of dumb OOT dragon was best boss fight in the game.
