    BOTW is better.

    • 10 months ago

      Breath of the Wild was a landmark game for both the Zelda franchise and open-world games in general. It's the most important game the franchise has ever made, probably, rivaled only by the original and Ocarina of Time.

      Tears of the Kingdom may be better insofar as it has "more stuff", but the game also was mostly a rehash whereas BotW was a sea change in gaming as a whole

    Zoomers who played all of them. BOTW and TOTK are the worse Zelda games ever made and BOTW had less filler. The wind temple. Jesus Christ Nintendo. I would just do BOTW at least the bird in that game was an actual decent (decent is a nice word) puzzle dungeon

          Spirit tracks is literally copying and pasting wind wakers art style

          TOTK does the same, but subtracts one set of utilities and adds another set that accomplishes the same stuff with much more player agency? Game isn't perfect of course, but is a fun revision of the modern zelda experiment.

          It's literally less interesting than the divine beasts, with the beasts at least you get a "unique" mechanic where you can manipulate the beasts, but all the temples are just 5 shrine tier puzzles ducktaped together.

          Disagree, I liked the "puzzle box" nature of the BotW shrines but the Wind Temple had NOTHING going for it. It might as well not even be a temple, it's like five korok-tier puzzles.

              I swear shrines mindbroke Nintendo. They don't know how to make classic style temple anymore with interconnecting puzzles and interesting layouts. It's just "Here's 5 separate puzzles" like they smashed 5 shrines together.

      >I like that one while TOTK is a glorified expansion pack where you fly over all the content instead of exploring
      That's because you already explored the fricking continent in BOTW and know where everything is so you're less interested in finding shit on foot. If someone is going into TOTK as their first experience with the world then the sense of exploration will be even greater than BOTW since you have the normal map, sky islands and depths to do for the first time.

    Depends on what you hope to get out of your experience.

    ToTK is basically just an upgraded, better, more expensive, more polished version of BoTW, and the story is simplistic enough that you can skip BoTW and still understand what is going on in ToTK (assuming you understand some basic Zelda tropes like the Master Sword and its significance).

    I think if you play ToTK first and BoTW second you're not going to enjoy BoTW because it will feel like a more empty and less polished version of the same game. So understand that if you play ToTK first you're basically ruining BoTW for yourself. So for that reason you might consider playing BoTW first.

    TOTK can hold its own just as well, but playing BOTW helps you better appreciate the new. It also makes finding things a bit easier. I don't see anyone accidentally finding Gerudo Town in the sandstorm or figuring how to get into Korok Forest unless by complete accident or knowing where it is.

    No, but you should not play these game back to back. They are different enough to be fresh with unique ideas and revolutionary world changes between them, but The core gameplay loop and feel (ESPECIALLY with weapon durability) would be extremely taxing and tired if you wanted to be a completionist on both games in a short time span.

    Yes. It literally improves it in every way and makes it into an actual game instead of a tech demo. The plot of BotW (and Zelda) is irrelevant anyway.

        This whole 'story in the past' shit is so fricking forced and awful, even more so than BOTW. In BOTW at least the plot could be diluted down to "Zelda slowly warms up to Link, Calamity happens". The plot in TOTK tries to go for more and it just doesn't work. Doesn't help that the story and writing itself are shit tier.
        It's sad because I like all the characters and plot points of the modern story, but it's only 5% of the game. The other 95% is just running from shrine to shrine.

          How disjointed Zelda's story cutscenes are only makes me feel all the more that playable Zelda was a thing at one point. There's not a single scene that sets up Fake Zelda, she's just suddenly then, throws a knife, laughs and leaves.

          It's strange because the memories this time are forced on you if you want the master sword. In BOTW it made sense getting them out of order because they are memories, here it just fricks with the pacing and locks the master sword

          I was unaware that being more fantastical and cinematic made it worse. It also lends to the whole verticality focus the game has where you can't get to her at all unless you know how to navigate the skies.

    I kind of prefer certain elements of BOTW like the puzzles, powers, Guardians, more of a focus on survival and overcoming environmental challenges. TOTK is a better game overall, but things feel a lot more streamlined and yet more convoluted in other ways.

    I played BOTW before and honestly i don't know. BOTW with guardians and the new mechanics were better to teach you how the gameplay was diferent from classic Zelda. TOTK just think you already played BOTW and will teach you instead the nuts and bolts things so you are kinda fricked if you just played classic Zelda and the TOTK is just bigger than BOTW and that can be too much for some people. Just my opinion though.
