“Now my moment has finally come. Brace yourself, Ganon, feel the sting of my revenge!”
“This will be our final opportunity. We will not fail!”
“Let’s go, little guy! Now! Open up wide, Ganon!”
“A hundred years in the making… Hold on, Princess. Our moment has arrived!”
I love BotW to bits and I’ve been struck by warm and fuzzy drawing moods recently ( ᐛ )و☆*°
( this unleashed pandemonium on my twitter inbox so I think i should quickly add: no, I don’t ship it. you’re welcome to see it that way though if it makes you happy. if you like Mipha more than Zelda that’s cool too nobody’s stoppin ya. yes Link looks like a girl )
I posted about a quest that leads to an npc telling Link that Zelda is in love with him in BotW so here’s the deets for those wondering…. spoilers ahead!
please give the fish princess love
People always talk about how the people in the Breath of the Wild follow schedules and will react to the weather and other things you do, but my favorite is shopkeepers yelling at you for standing on their wares.
Look, all I’m saying is that Breath of the Wild is a high quality game 👌👌
Ah woah ok I wasn’t expecting to go this deep lol
Ah I should have probably elaborated. I’m not saying either is better I was just saying it reminds me of it and I really like that open world type stuff so I know I’ll enjoy it.
Ah, yeah, probably my fault. I just get really passionate about anything to do with Zelda, especially Breath of the Wild now.
You’re right though, neither of them is really better on an entertainment level, it’s a matter of what someone enjoys. That said, if you like Skyrim, you will absolutely love Breath of the Wild.
Oh god, why are people already deeply misunderstanding Zelda and Urbosa’s relationship. I’m actually pained by it
I know what you mean. I realize some people may find it insulting to compare it like this but it reminds me of skyrim ,which I really love, so now I really wish I could play it. Alas I am stuck with watching others play it.
Skyrim’s fun and I had a good time with it, but if you ask me, Breath of the Wild is a lot better than it. The problem is that it’s kind of hard to quantify why. The best I can do is looking at how they subscribe to the general structure of an open-world game.
To quote Kotaku’s review of the game:
And as you talk about Breath of the Wild with your friends, there’s one word that will rarely if ever come up: “can’t.” Stories about the new Zelda will instead revolve around what you can do […]
Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda game to date, and it accomplishes that simply by saying yes.
It’s a game that truly lets you do whatever you want by giving you all the tools you need right from the beginning. All you need to solve any puzzle or challenge you come across is a matter of your personal skill and problem solving.
There are definitely some things it doesn’t want you to do (taking on Calamity Ganon from the get go being the most obvious example), but it won’t stop you by any means, and if you can manage to do it despite the game’s deterrents, good on you.
Breath of the Wild is truly a game everyone needs to experience first hand because despite even it’s minor flaws it is a masterpiece in game design and entertainment that we haven’t seen in a long time, and I for one can’t wait to see how Nintendo follows up on this.
