also botw doesn't really have much in common with elder scrolls other than being open world with very little direct guidance (as opposed to many other open world games that have a lot of direct guidance, ie your witcher 3 or horizon zero dawn or whatever). you can definitely feel the influence of a lot of other games and series in it, elder scrolls being one of them, but it's kind of its own thing--which is why it's incredible

Honestly the only game that felt the closest to BOTW was Elden Ring

elden ring felt a lot like they looked at breath of the wild and tried to make the game that is to botw what dark souls is to ocarina of time

elden ring doesn't even have weapon condition ergo it's botw for casuals

BOTW is the elden ring of Zeldas and Elden Ring is the BOTW of Dark Souls

ngl the inside of hyrule castle in botw is the closest i've ever gotten to feeling like im playing dark souls while playing zelda. i kinda wanna do a playthrough without climbing where i focus on the melee combat system and see what that feels like

i played botw spending like 2% of my playtime in combat (basically fought nothing that could be avoided, which leaves little), so i disagree with this characterization. e: climbed to zeldas study in hyrule castle, not seen much of the inside.

I've done a no-fast-travel playthrough of BOTW (and also no horses for the most part because I just dont really like using them) and it was

Kenny Logins posted:that's the super zelda 3 remake right? yeah that'll probably be the first one i play when i get a switch pro someday not on the switch i fear, i think it might be one to just emulate (3ds so there may be some hardware features, but iirc nothing you'd be that sad to lose out on). it is to me the absolute gold standard of parlaying nostalgia into a new genuinely great gaming experience.

finally got yuzu working so i can play through master mode with the stupid health regen disabled. still cant believe anyone thought that was a good idea, its not hard just tedious and removes all the emergent gameplay from the game. found a boulder to push into bombs among a group of enemies? dont waste your time cause theyll be at full health by the time you chase the boulder down there. just a profoundly idiotic design decision

Its very good, probably holds up really well cause cel shading is timeless when done well

also i know this is not going to hit very hard for anyone who didn't play it (because that's video game music, plus it spends like 7 minutes building), but the final theme of the final zelda game to not just use a full orchestra recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSpUx2LrPOw

the dlc felt quite unnecessary, it added light content to a game that already had enough "proper" content and a possibly excessive a amount of similar completionist light content (shrines, seeds, links house, tarrey town, etc.)
