        Better than TotK? Yes. A good Zelda and what the series needed? No. The game drops off hard once you realize all it really is and you either slog through it and have it end horribly or drop it.

    I think TOTK improves in a lot of major ways (namely the weapon system and how it changes combat) but BOTW was always going to be a richer experience because of TOTK reusing the map. Even ALBW pulled that move off better because classic Zelda was always more about the dungeons than the overworld, unlike BOTW/TOTK.

      ALBW because it's the "same map" but in a completely new engine and released 20 years later.

        I don't think that makes much of a difference to me. ALBW feels different from ALTTP, but it's still the same map. Even TOTK had more effort put into distinguishing the overworld with the islands. ALBW just shrugged and called the Dark World Lorule. It was my biggest issue when the gams was announced in 2012 or whatever and it remains so. The critical difference is that the painting mechanic and dungeons made it feel more distinct because they have a larger footprint on the experience.

      I think the weapon system is still grossly unintuitive. In fact I find the greater encouragement to engage in combat despite combat being nearly identical to the previous game (ie, not very important for the most part) to be a huge mark against Tears and in favor of Breath.

    No.
    Your only point other than that TotK uses the same map as BotW is about mystery, which I agree BotW does better with. BotW's atmosphere and world (and story) are all better than TotK, but TotK is better in every other aspect. I enjoyed playing BotW much more than TotK, but TotK is still the better game objectively. It just didn't satisfy me because I already spent a lot of time in the world when I played BotW, and all the new additions were not nearly enough in my eyes. If I played TotK first I would have had a much better experience which is really annoying, Nintendo.

      Can you explain what you mean? Asking in good faith. I've always felt Zelda lore was really rudimentary and only really peaked when Windwaker made that hard sequential connection to Ocarina. I think the story in TOTK is stupid and detached but I dont think it's any worse than the usual drek they assign to that front.

        NTA but in these games they went full on scorched earth. Past Zelda games usually tried to have some semblance of connection to other Zelda games, but here they threw everything out. Total and complete retcons. They did what Skyward Sword did and turned it up to 11 (IE there are no longer any golden triad of goddesses, now Hylia is the only one). Even Ganon has been stripped of everything that made him familiar to fans of the series, since he barely has a connection to the gerudo, he's no longer connected to demise, he's no longer connected to ganondorf, Everything is a complete mess.

        Normally we could still try and discuss lore prior to BOTW, but the modern fans have declared that all prior Zelda games are bad, and that BOTW and TOTK are the only ones allowed to exist. So no more discussion about OOT or LTTP.

        It just seems to go out of its way to make it not fit in the Timeline or outright retcon the timeline they made. Now granted, I was never a huge timelinegay to begin with, but I generally found fan theories and lore discussing Zelda to be fun. The Timeline was the only real hard thing we have connecting other games (beyond direct sequels of course). Now that that has been thoroughly tossed out the window I dont really know what Zelda Lore to discuss with anons, or even really care. You may not feel the same but thats just me.

    To be honest, neither BOTW nor TOTK are impressive. They felt like they were chasing a fad, but didn't invest time into fleshing out any of their concepts. You cannot tell me, with a straight face, that almost 2000 koroks are good game design, or that they needed to further pad out the filler with addison signs, or shrines, or making most enemies extremely stupid and cheesable. It's just not fun when a bokoblin is so dumb that he'll drown himself in a lake to fight you, or accidentally set himself on fire. BOTW trivialized travel and revisiting old places with stupid fast travel, while TOTK made it even worse by just letting you build wacky meme machines that let you fly over everything at no cost. A hookshot's inclusion would somehow break the games, but magic wacky fire penis robots and gliders are fine?

    I've honestly played better open world games. Ones that understood the importance of asking the player to adhere to progression, while still letting them experiment with their own playstyle.

              Basically, it combines both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask into a single giant randomizer, and it spreads all of the items across both games. You can change between them by going to the happy mask shop in hyrule town market, or going into the clocktower. There's an insane amount of checks and balances to prevent softlocks, unless you disable them. It's reinvigorated my love of the games.

          The game is massively overrated and proclaimed to be the first of its kind in open world exploration, however every hardcore gamer knows this is bullshit and countless other open world games before it have done this and even had better exploration, the only thing they really invented was the physics interaction within the world, which most of come as tedious mechanic rather than fun, thinks like climbing wet hills.
          Game world is empty, feels static and dead, looks generic, to consider this among the greatest is laughable, tendies believe that just because its an exclusive, if it was multiplatform nobody will shower it with underserved praise.

          Game is overrated, has mediocre combat, shit dungeons, forgettable music, boring lifeless world, look generic, has an awful story and quest writing and generally is just middling across the board.

          Tears of the Kingdom is hundered times better than Breath of the Wild, it actually exposes how shit and lackluster BOTW is.
          Considering BOTW wasn't as impressive or innovative as its fans proclaim, then that makes it shit and obsolete.

        The reasoning they gave me is that the game supposed does all this stuff that no other game has ever done, and then did it together. Sort of a "jack of all trades" situation. Unfortunately BOTW doesn't master any of these elements, and neither does TOTK. What good is exploration if you can trivialize everything by building a wacky magic hoverbike? Why build vehicles for combat if bokoblins die almost pitifully easily?

        I guess the real acclaim is that this is the first zelda game to do this, and it's the biggest map of all?

            The idea of actually letting you break progression is kinda cool, as in actually letting you skip everything and just go right to ganon. Or letting you solve puzzles in a bunch of different ways. The only problem is that they don't follow through on it. At random times they'll just decide that you cannot solve a quest a certain way, and will erect a thousand magic, invisible forcefields to make you do it one specific way. So it can't even commit to its premise.

    NGL Pizza Tower had a more satisfying final boss.

    Obviously, but Pizza Tower was the only good game in 2023.
    Imagine if TOTK did something similar, with Link beating up the bosses and puppet Zelda with his bare hands, all while Song Of The Hero playef.

      Bravo Nintendo. Trillions Dollars Corporations btw. I think that instead of paying people to fill TOTK with content they'd rather pay shills to defend this trash and call you an "Eric" if you dare to criticize Bigtendo.

    The youtube discussion around this game kinda shows not alot of people really loved it but had to be kind to the Nintendo bonus

    Seriously, go look of TOTK videos on Youtube right now. Every single video has a title like "disappointing masterpiece" or " I loved but frustrated me to no end" or something equivalent. People desperately want to critique this game but theres such a heavy emphasis on being positive to Nintendo games no one will do it.

      It's the Twilight Princess 8.8 fiasco all over again. If you don't give certain brands outstanding praise, then you'll be eaten alive by the fandom. This never happens with sony or Microsoft games, since they'll just directly blacklist you and never give you bribes or financial incentives again. Nintendo made the interesting choice of outsourcing their game journo intimidation to the fans.

    Not that you Ganker lot care for honest opinions, but I like both. BoTW is awesome, and ToTK is a nice expansion to it. The trouble with both is, at first you're underpowered, and you get so much choice in what to do. It can be daunting. And as you progress, you get more hearts, stamina, and your game prowess improve. (as reward). But I feel both games don't make it hard enough as you progress, only easier, with oyur hears, stamina and general knowlegde, which I suppose is a product of the open world and, well, just reward for getting further, but in both games, the hardest part, seems to be the start. Once you get going... you get going.
    And that IS rewarding, so not nessicarily all bad.Both ARE brilliant (any1 refuting this is a moron not understanding master game design and should not be taking serious IMHO, no offense, even if you do not like it, you must be able to see the god-damn-brilliance of the game design aspect, if not, that really, really is on you, you are the moronic one) . My biggest gripe, it only gets (mostly) easier after the get go, is more evident with ToTK, so I like BoTW more. They are both awesome games though,

      >a game not having an upward challenging curve is "master game design"

      No anon, that's called bad game design. A Mario game where level 8-4 is easier than level 1-1 would rightfully be touted as a bad game.

    I think totk improves on lots of elements of botw individually, but it feels more broken and lacking in cohesion as a game overall.
    I'm not sure which I view as a better game, they're unfortunately similar enough that I think one existing takes away from the other.
    I certainly remember and care about far more from TotK than BotW, but I didn't spend as much time with it.

    No. Botw only gets credit for changing the industry. Totk is straight upgrade in most ways and has way more cool sidequests and npcs to interact with. Much better main quest too. Dozens of things you do are first for zelda altogether.

        That's your problem not mine. Game has over 100 hours of great gameplay and unique moments. If you can't withstand a 2 minute scene of an npc explaining why goron mountain is fricked so you can go fix the problem then idk what to tell you. Maybe checkers is more your speed. No cutscenes there.

          You're the one trying to argue that TOTK and BOTW are objectively perfect masterpieces, and I'm sitting here wondering why it has more problems than a snoy movie. Once again, despite claiming to be open world, the game does not allow you to do anything unless you get permission from NPCs.

          >can't enter divine beasts without NPCs giving you permission
          >can't enter the "dungeons" without NPCs being stapled to you
          >can't even leave the tutorial islands unless you get permission

          For a game that flaunts being open and free, it loves restricting you for no reason.
