Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

[Xakasle]

Yeah I never played any zelda games before in my life till botw some months ago. I was amazed how easy it was to push thru the divine beasts and how easily I scaled the castle to Ganon. (I found his room on accident as I was only there for a loot run and I accidentally stumbled on the fight) so I went with it and got to his spider lion stage the first try without any prep for the fight other than hoarding as I played like normal. I hadn't even beat any divine beasts at that point as was just gearing up. So at that point I realized the divine beats must be hella easy if I almost whooped ganon already. so I killed them, then him... and I kinda didn't play much after that even though it's a great game. The world and the ambience are really what makes it. I used it as background noise alot while I played other games lol. Oh and Beedle! his overflowing enthusiasm and his...different clothing style were always .....intriguing.

Did you replay botw on master mode after beating it? It's quite a bit harder. And the DLC stuff is worth getting too.

Yeah it's safe to say this is probably the best console game I've ever played.

I'll tell ya about one of my more memorable adventures...

I saved this town from pirates and then they needed help building it up again and asked me to get 15 logs and 20 rice. So I bring back 15 wood and 20 rice thinking that I've got this covered and realize that this mother fucker really wants LOGS! Ive gotta get to choppin down some trees! Well the trees werent nearby because apparently palm trees arent good enough for him. But i dont wanna ultra hand 15 logs over here....hrm...what to do...

So I had to get creative and I built myself the most badass lumberjack monster truck and hauled that dude his 15 logs! I just wish I had a flannel tunic and trucker cap for Link to wear while I was at it.

This games too good.

While I didn't play myself, I saw a friend plat it for half hour or so. Of course graphics looked good, but I just couldn't get into it.

He took like 25 pictures of plants I couldn't stand it.

Miss me A Link to the Past. Still one of the best on SNES

Lol well yeah there is a lot in the game that isn't mandatory. Taking pictures of plants is a totally optional completionist thing to do. I would really recommend not judging it based on watching somebody else play it for half an hour, you really need to play it yourself.

In breath of the wild I never once used the camera feature to take pictures of anything, and I actually never really used horses either; I liked just running around on foot and climbing and exploring. There are a million ways to play the game, which is the appeal. The old model of zelda games was great but extremely linear and they've reiterated it so many times now. The idea with BotW (and now this sequel) is to make it as open-ended as possible; there's still a narrative "main quest" but you can progress through it as quickly or slowly as you want, there are so many things to do and see while you chip away at the main storyline.
