That is some next level editing my man. This is waht happens when you get crazy with editing.

[@palico004]

The fact that you showed Breath Of The Wild so frequently is frankly incredibly misleading. It has a sleek main menu that sets the stage for a modern masterpiece and the ingame menus are terrific too. The Main menu opens with a calm melody as beautiful concept art takes center stage. The onscreen options are direct and streamlined. The ancient chimes and the way the menu slides away to give way to submenus is a nice touch and everything is boxed and made to be easy to digest. The ingame menus feature sheikah design on a tablet digital backdrop. It features tabs relating to things like quests and indexes as well as more system based options like saving your progress. Despite the inventory menu featuring a lot of info at once it is systematically spaced to provide a less cluttered experience then standard open world games. Quest items feature their own tabs and items like food is separated into ingredients and completed meals. The cherry on top is the controls for everything in the bottom right of the screen so confusion is completely eliminated. I would love to here your experience and as too why you found the Breath Of The Wild menu bad but honestly I find it a brilliant edition to an already brilliant game
