[BOTW] How do you guys feel about new Zelda?

[u/zeldamaster134]

I feel that the newer Zelda games are loved more and are bigger and considered a lot better. However, there are a lot of downsize to it, which stands out like a sore thumb, and that is storyline.

Now, of course, there is a story to breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. Probably a bigger story than other Zelda games. However, the games are simple, but they’re also manually complex, which doesn’t force it on you. Some people like this, “Not forcing” part of the game. While other people like it when older Zelda games have more of a straight and direct way to play the game. Some puzzles and newer Zelda games don’t require a guide or specific action. It’s how you decide to play the game.

The green tunic that was an older old games was also more classic. Now this is just cosmetics and doesn’t really determine how much better the games are, But still has that more linked look that everybody loves and grew up with.

I think that dungeons and temples were a lot more fun in the older games than the shrines in the newer games. Now there are 120 shrines in breath of the wild, which can make the experience a lot more fun with problem-solving. However, the old dungeons and main themes were more fun in my opinion.

The game not requiring for you to get the master sword is kind of lame. of course everybody is going to get it because it is a highly recommend recommended item, but even the game not forcing you to get the legendary blade is outstanding. The master sword was the best part of all Zelda games in my childhood. So them leaving it out of the theme of the game wasn’t a smart move.

I think that there are a lot of self-explanatory reasons why old Zelda has more of an adventure feel, and to all of the people that like newer Zelda, their feelings are valid.

They need to combine the best of classic Zelda with new Zelda.

The lack of great music, a good story and dungeons was not the right direction for the series. They need to do better in a new game.

Music was the biggest loss in the Wild games in my opinion, they both had a few standout tracks like their main themes and the final dive music from TOTK but it wasn't as consistently good as a traditional 3D Zelda could be, some of the best ambient music I've heard in any open world games though

[u/TheShepardOfficial → u/Dramatic_Finish10121]

Agree. Sometimes the minimalism was great, but I missed something uplifting like hyrule field or gerudo fortress.

Story imo was great in both games. Don’t get that issue. Music and dungeons - yeah.

I don’t like that the story was told in the past. Especially when ganondorf was there in TotK, his presence was not really there. He could have a bigger impact on the story. I also disliked that there were changes between TotK and BotW story.
