Hey, so this video has had a cool little resurgence, and that is great! Thank you for watching this. As a quick note, there is a line at the end when I say I played for 50 hours. While I do think that 50 hours is long enough to have a legitimate opinion about this game, I do want to clarify that this was an estimate as, at the time, the Switch did not calculate how long you played games for. Turns out I was closer to 80-90 hours. Since then, I finished all the shrines like a tryhard and beat the DLC (which holy heck, that DLC beast and boss are very good). I know no one probably actually cares how long I played the game for, but as more than one person brought it up, I figured it was easier to pin a comment than respond to each individual. Anyway, I hope you have a very good one.

My biggest issue with BotW is I can only have my first experience with it once. Because you're absolutely right, not knowing the answer to a question I had, and then chasing down those answers, was amazing. I will never forget heading south for the first time and thinking "Is that a fucking dragon?" Shortly followed by "That's a fucking dragon!" I had no idea why it existed, I had no idea if it was hostile, but I sure as fuck was going to find out.

I know, right? The first time playing BotW was magical. Learning to climb a tree, and then learning which trees are actually worth checking after spending who knows how long climbing every tree I came across; stumbling on the first Talus and screaming "Ohshitohshitohshiiiit!" while running away in panic; tossing things into the cooking pot to see what comes out and being thrilled when something came out super well and I don't even have that many hearts yet, cooool; seeing a lynel and instantly knowing I'll die if it sees me, and sneaking past them while holding my breath until I finally feel I'm strong enough to face them; noticing a shooting star and making a beeline for the landing spot while recklessly dodging moblins and guardians because I don't know how long it'll stay there, but I know it can't be forever because I haven't randomly stumbled on them during my travels; and yes, seeing a dragon for the first time and just staring at it in absolute wonder while debating whether or not I'll die if I go too close. Playing the game for the second time was still fun, but knowing what to do, where to go to find things, how to deal with situations, and not being surprised by much of anything robbed from the experience and made me a bit sad. Thankfully the Master Mode introduced a few new elements, so at least there were some minor surprises. But still, if I could get selective amnesia and play the game for the first time again, it would be the best effing thing.

@@Jadeile this is magical. i can't even remember when i saw my first dragon (makes me kinda sad now that i think about it) but i get what you mean. after the 3ds XL, I'd always flitted in and out of nintendo stuff. Didn't buy another game after animal crossing. And as such, i completely missed out on the announcement of the switch. skip to a couple months later, i accidentally cane across the botw trailer (and that trailer is fucking incredible man) and i just knew I had to play it. I didn't get my switch until just two months ago. By this time, expectations were at an all time high, I was so hyped to play botw even though that bandwagon left 2 years ago, I'd replay the trailer nearly everyday, refused to look at any spoilers. Then I played it. And let me tell you man, it. Was. The. Shit. Game completely surpassed every expectation I had and more.

I remember going to this game blind a couple weeks ago. I was planning to buy a switch for the new Pokémon game and I had asked my friend what games are must-be-played games on the switch. His first answer was BotW and he let me try playing it for 10 minutes. Sure, the controls were hard to get used to because I had played with a PlayStation controller all my life, but I remember seeing a boulder and saying, “it would be cool if you can move this boulder”. Sure enough, I was amazed and how it followed basic physics when it moved around. I accidentally got near a tree and I started climbing and I was happy that I could climb it to get the apples. Then I found the axe near the old man and again, I said out loud, “it would be crazier if you could cut down trees.” My friend dared me to try, so again, I was amazed at how the world responded with my decisions. That experience in the first 10 minutes sold me, and that was just the introduction. Safe to say, I’ve played 70 hours of it already. Best game I’ve played in a long time.

Yeah! In earlier stuff I made, I sometimes ran into people saying, "Well, that is not my experience!" so I have tried to root my criticisms in my experience as much as possible. At the end of the day, what works for someone else does not always work for me (and vice versa), so I think it is important to understand that it isn't always about something being good or bad, but rather something being a right fit for the right player.

2 things I would have really liked in BOTW : 1) being able to swim underwater and make discovery 2) Caves, big caves not just tiny ones hidden by rocks. The one big cave I found was part of a side quest and it just looked really nice with a Giant skeleton inside. It was a nice discovery. Now think of the possibilities if you combine those two together. Swimming deep in water and finding hidden tunnel systems that lead you to an underground world. Think of the dark forest that's in complete darkness. Having to navigate those caves with a torch in hand or a glowing weapon. I really hope the next entry offers us those kind of things. :)

One of my favourite aspects of BotW that I haven't seen in other open world games is climbing (in this limitless, and non-scripted sense). It gives the world a playground feel, where you're free to scale the world at your leisure, as if it was a jungle gym. I think you did a perfect job explaining what makes BotW's world stand out from the rest, and why it's so refreshing to so many people.

This can be problematic though. Early in the game you go to Kakariko village, and on the main path exiting the village is the guy who lets you expand your inventory slots (extremely crucial in this game). This is the only place you can start this process, in the entire humongous game world. If you don't exit the village by this one specific path, you will basically never find him unless you look up a guide on what the korok seeds are for. Every time you go back to Kakariko village, you are extremely unlikely to exit by any path at all, you will most likely warp there for whatever purpose and then warp out again. They also surrounded Kakariko village with interesting things that encourage you to climb out of the valley by a means other than the path (e.g., to find the fairy fountain, to investigate the location you later take Impa's orb etc.). This is one of the design flaws in the game; some of the open world design clashes with elements left over from the design of previous Zeldas, like putting a vital NPC on a path you would be required to walk down if this was Ocarina of Time or something.

Have we seen a shift though? I've seen BOTW do these kinds of things...and that's about it. I thought Horizon Zero Dawn was an extraordinary, severely underrated game, but it was not a game changer mechanically and didn't represent a shift away from the norm like BOTW did. And since then we've had Red Dead 2, which might be one of the single most disappointing games I've ever played in my life - a game that does _every single one_ of the bad things that Breath of the Wild consciously rejected in its design. It holds your hand like no other game I've ever played. It makes you walk in a straight line for missions and simply carry out orders. It allows you almost NO freedom at all to complete quests the way you want, it has nothing surprising on its map that makes you think 'oh, I want to check and see what that is', your character is supremely un-interactive and slow, and it highlights everywhere you need to go with a big icon on the mini-map. You can even get the game to ride you there on your horse without you controlling a thing. It was heartbreakingly disappointing. I played a lot of it just daydreaming about what Nintendo would have done with a world as visually lush and beautiful as Rockstar's. To me, RDR 2 is a total rejection of all the brilliant design lessons Nintendo taught us with BOTW. It's the anti-BOTW. And it got 97% on Metacritic, which I can only understand by assuming that reviewers looked at the ambition of its world and the incredible graphics and felt like they just had to give it a high score. For me BOTW and RDR 2 represent two paths on a fork in the road: BOTW represents a path that's trickier, less familiar for developers, but the games that it leads to will be groundbreaking and will blow gamers' minds. RDR 2 represents a comfortable, well-worn path, with lots of familiar landmarks, lots of signposts and directions so developers know exactly what to do when they're designing the game, but it leads to stagnation and disenchantment among gamers. A creative dead-end. I hope that BOTW represents a shift towards the first path and away from the latter, but it's too early to tell.

Props to the composer, too. They managed to make an accordion-based song one of my favorites in the whole game. Hyrule Castle also has one of the most fantastic themes I’ve heard in a while. It really drives home a sense of finality, like you’re finally ready and you’re facing the ultimate challenge. In addition to this, the Guardian theme is perfect for the themes of the story: the Guardians are a blight upon the peaceful, quiet wilderness. Their theme represents that perfectly, with its blazing fast piano contrasting with the softness of most of the music. And, of course, BotW has probably my favorite credits song of any Zelda.

Razbuten Yes, very solid points, i only disagree with the point that the main quest is not urgent, since you get told over and over again that, either by impa and zelda herself that you have to hurry up, because time is short. I think that exploration is a little bit more problematic in this game than it was in older titles. Because through the constant progression through the real main quest (defeating ganon), a little observation is a welcome change of pace, since you got your steady progression anyway. in breath of the wild exploration for me felt wrong in the beginning, because you know that you could end it all, here and there, you just had to go to hyrule castle and its over. sry for the essay

Yeah, I would have loved to see some more memories to flesh out the other heroes of Hyrule some more, and it would have been cool if there were a few more characters who dole out sidequests and have some interesting interactions with Link. For me, it is less of not having ideas for what they could have changed, and more of being so impressed with what it does amazingly that I am less bothered by what it does poorly. I certainly wish they had thought a few things out better, but it still does more than most games I have played.

It's just that in recent years, if there is something i want to criticize, I want to also come up with a solution on how I would go about fixing that if I was in the designer's shoes. Perhaps I just need time to think of what those solutions are. Either way, I've already started a second play through, doing things differently from my first. Breath of the Wild has continually impressed me with just how much I didn't know from my first play through, and I'll certainly be excited to play it again in the future.

I recently did a play through of BOTW where I didn’t use the map or teleportation at all. Didn’t activate any of the towers, kept the minimap off, etc. it was a really great experience. I looked at the world in a whole new way and it was really fun to just take my horse down some roads and see where they take me and what I might find.

That's a fascinating idea, and I think such a playthrough would have a great sense of wonder; but it also runs counter to my preference as somewhat of a completionist. I think in the end it would end up being frustrating because there's honestly too much to do in the game already, without having to stumble around with little idea of where you've been or where you're going.

Really solid video essay. I especially appreciate the modulation and pacing as a non native english speaker. The balance between points and examples was great, and the edition stays clean, simple and relevant to your examples (I particularly enjoyed the quick cuts at the opening along to the music). You nail many points about what makes this game feel great: The open world design in BotW constantly validates your personal narrative playing this game with the in-game universe narrative; and this is only possible with the freedom and flexibility of the story. A very delicate design trade-off considering their corporate context when working on this game, but one that Nintendo executed well. (I hope I was able to communicate this point properly with my english heh!). This is the first video I've seen of you and it was great! but as a heads-up, I had seen in my recommendations the video "mini-maps are stupid" and ignored it because of a title I felt fell somewhere between clickbait and low-quality (it's also not as seducing as the title here: the power of questions says little about the actual content and the video feels more fresh). I'll definitely watch your other videos now, but you may give that thought a spin, considering your target audience with these videos. Keep it up and hope to see more of you!

Ya know, I have thought a lot about what to title videos, and, honestly, it is a no-win situation. You are right, "Mini-maps are Stupid" is clickbaity, but I would argue that the issue with clickbait is when it leads to a shitty video that has little or nothing to do with the clickbait topic. It is a bummer that a title like that turned you and some other people off, but it also drew in others who most likely would not have clicked: "My Problems With Mini-Maps." I get where you are coming from, and, in general, I try to avoid being too dramatic with my titles (that video is from over 2 years ago, and while I am certainly not perfect with it, most of my titles are pretty straightforward), but the title was not chosen to appeal to KZbin's algorithm; it was chosen because I think the way Mini-Maps are used is stupid. Also, I might be misunderstanding you, so I will just ask: did you think the title of this video was effective or not? Regardless, I appreciate your feedback and you checking out my stuff.

I wouldnt be able to properly say if it's effective or not, depends on your goals and the kind of viewer you're aiming for, I just wanted to give perspective, and it does not influence the digestion of the actual content in any way. The point of saying that was only to show my first interaction with you, maybe for future thought. In the end I think its more important that you feel satisfied with the result more than anything else. Dont crunch the thought too much, it was just me being too strict in search on something I could say to help you, and I agree that title choice always involves a trade-off. Keep it up, the content is great regardless of the title!

BOTW solidly cemented itself as one of my favorite games ever. Every hour I played it felt meaningful. I was always getting stronger, or getting closer to more inventory space, or fighting to gain new weapons and get better at combat. Every single second I played let to a climatic finish against Ganon, which for me was memorable if for how horrifying he was in this entry. I love the small rewards more frequently system, because it felt like much less of an investment than say Wind Waker, where going into a dungeon is an hour(ish) long ordeal. I wouldn't mind some longer shrines mixed in, but I don't hold the game at fault for lacking it. I expected to like it (I like Zelda games and love open worlds), but I honestly loved it more than I thought. Easily beats out MM and OoT for me.

Skyward Sword had plenty of frustrations, but they shouldn't have been seen as unexpected. Most of its problems had been festering in the Zelda formula and style for several iterations in the franchise and simply reached their breaking point at SS. You can see a lot of its problems take root in Wind Waker, Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, and the DS games.

Which, in some ways, seemed to be a good thing in the long term! The breaking point was needed for a reset, perhaps.

And ALBW was formerly my favorite Zelda but BOTW just does everything that game did, and more, and on a grander scale.

I kind of find it interesting that this game took some of the more superficial aspects of Skyward Sword and readapted them. The item at the end of the tutorial that lets you safely get down from high places, stamina, climbing tied to stamina, shield bashing/parrying, and even a durability system (at least on shields) all came from Skyward Sword, but they were adapted to the point that they feel _more_ comfortable in a game with the complete opposite structure. I think Nintendo did a great job on that front, taking the ideas that they liked and incorporating them into an open-world game.

Something that really impressed me about BotW is how it handled the villages. I couldn't find the Sheikah village the first time I played through and ended up wandering the emptiness of Hyrule for a very long time. I began to know Hyrule as this land of ruins and dilapidated structures, devoid of human life save small outposts and travelers. The world was truly destroyed, but people were still finding a way to live their lives. Then I found the first permanent settlement I had seen: Lurelin Village. The music struck me, and I saw not just a village in a video game, but a place that people called home. I found that the world had ended but humanity had not. It was a small, humble fishing town inhabited by people, so many people. And that's what I see whenever I enter each village: they're inhabited by the survivors of a calamity, they are the trees that grow back after a forest fire. They have unique cultures and architecture and, in living mundane lives, they contrast brightly and powerfully against the destroyed world they inhabit. I didn't expect video game characters merely living out simulacra of lives to be so moving, but it touched me in my soul to see humanity in a state of happy normalcy after disaster. It reminded me that even when it seems like things will never be the same, no matter how bad things may get, a time will come when we can be happy again.

There are flaws in the late game to be sure -- and we should point these out so that Nintendo doesn't repeat them next time around -- but goddamn, does this game fix virtually every issue I've had with open world games over the last decade. I haven't had this much fun with one since I first played Morrowind (a game with which Breath of the Wild shares many core philosophies). It's bounced off of Skyward Sword perfectly by taking the mechanical advancements it made and improving upon them, while also addressing the core issues it and most other Zelda games since The Wind Waker had. I didn't start feeling burned out until after I'd hit the 300+ hour mark, and yet Master Mode managed to suck me in and fall in love all over again, putting me well over the 400 hour mark. I'm really looking forward to what the second DLC has to offer, and I'm even more excited to see what the next big Zelda game has in store for us.

BotW travel is really amazing. When I played Skyrim, I would often fast travel 90% of the time because the road travel bored the heck out of me. There was nothing I'd bump into that I really cared about. Most ingredients I harvested would make some crappy potion I would sell for like 15g anyways, and another bandit camp worth of weapons and armor was really the last thing I wanted when I couldn't even carry all the stuff I already had. With BotW, I rode my horse around nearly all the time despite the fact that I had fast travel points scattered all over the map. I actually wanted to travel the world. Shrines and koroks might get old after a while, sure, but weapons and food where something I spent and replenished constantly, and buying consumables like arrows and butter meant that I was always spending a decent amount of cash as well. And travel could easily fulfill all of these needs for me. Wild animals for meat, mushrooms herbs, fish and fruits found nearly everywhere meant I could do some hunting or gathering anytime while traveling the roads, and monsters would drop both weapons to replenish my stocks and monster parts to sell. Meeting a random enemy during most open world game is often a 'oh great, another one of these things' moment, but with BotW, I'm thinking more like 'Sweet, I needed something to replace my sword!'. Plus, monsters can be hilarious to fight at times. Take away a monster's weapons and they'll stomp their feet and yell at you. Knocked a stal-type enemy's head off? Guess what? You can pick that up and throw it around. Dropping enemies into the water makes them flounder about, and bombs ragdoll around like pinballs, all of which makes enemies a lot more amusing to fight than the 'face foe, press attack button till dead' lots of open world games give.

I hear this point a lot about BotW- all of the side quest and collecting work towards building your character for the fight so it makes it not filler.- But you could say the same thing about any grinding in any RPG type game. Skyrim is loaded with pretty basic repetitive quests but they all give you xp, loot, etc. I think what makes BotW stand out is the option to go to the end really early but that does not inherently make the grind more compelling, it just layers a "See! I told you it's important!" on it. The interesting systems and puzzles are the key in my mind. Extending the logic, Fallout 4 lets you go straight to diamond city and make significant progress but my claim that "getting to level 80 and 100% every quest outside of the brotherhood and diamond city will make me more ready to enter diamond city" doesn't really hold up. I think this is a great video and you did point out some BotW flaws so this comment is not a complaint but more of me saying that it is interesting how often the point comes up.

Hah, that's great! I did very much enjoy the video. This one came up on my feed and I enjoyed it so much that I have been going back to watch your others. My family is also a HUGE fan of Avatar (the real one; the Airbender), and I agree with your points about fast travel and minimaps in my games. Keep fighting the good fight!

This is my first Zelda game (I haven’t played that many games in general before besides Sims & Animal Crossing) and I’ve already played over 100 hours and have only just gotten the final divine beast. I’m obsessed with adventuring and finding all the little secrets. Definitely a great way for me to break into this kind of gaming!

Dude idk what is up with me but I started crying twice while watching this video. It makes me so happy to hear such great things from this game and I cant help but just want to be able to play it all over again. Who knows, maybe the reason I cry is because I wish for the ability to play this game like it was just released all over again.

All of your videos make me want to continue playing single player games like breath of the wild. I have been playing mostly online competitive for a while now and all it seems to do is anger me. I haven’t thought in a while to go back to the good old single player games. I used to play them all the time because I had no online internet connection to my consoles. Now that I have a PC and a job I can bring so much more diversity to my gaming experience and by watching only a couple of your videos, I have a countless number of games jotted down to buy. So thank you for being an inspiration to just keep playing. Your videos are absolutely phenomenal.

I don't care what anyone says, the Korok seeds are possibly the worst implementation of a collectable that I've seen. Yes, even worse than the simplistic collectables that you obtain just by making contact with them. It's more down to numbers than the content, but it's the content too. There are only about 15 types of tasks associated with the 900 seeds. You only need about half of them to maximise your inventory capacity but you will still be doing these 15 tasks an average of about 30 times each. It's a nice surprise the first time you get something for putting a rock in a circle of rocks, or put an apple in a bowl next to other bowls with apples, or played spot the difference with two metal block formations. But after I realised how simplistic and copy/pasted these tasks were, it felt like my time and my abilities were not being respected. They were Nintendo's main way of covering up all of the forgotten corners and hilltops left in the game. Once you had done one of each task once, their were no questions left to be asked. Unless that question was "How much time have I spent watching myself running/climbing/gliding when I could have been doing actual s***?" The answer to that question would be "A lot longer than you would have normally spent looking at loading screens". The seeds could have maybe been patched up with some variance in the rewards that they offered, but since their only function was to gate-keep your inventory space they always felt like a necessary chore. So lets break this into points to finish off: 1. They expected about as much from you as any puzzles made by Fisher Price (recommended for ages 5 and under). 2. If you wanted carry space, you would still be doing them knowing full well that you weren't going to learn or prove anything. 3. Nintendo made their world too big. Or they didn't have enough meaningful content to fill it. The fact that there are so many empty spaces reserved for nothing but these golden pieces of s*** is proof.

I felt the same way. After awhile, as I found myself climbing some cliff or running up some hill, it was no longer "cool, what will i find up here?" but "$#%$ #$%#$% korok seeds $#%#$^&" I didn't even want them anymore, and it drew attention to the fact that there really aren't enough elements to the game to fill up the physical space of the world they built. It felt large, physically, but small in terms of purpose.
