Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Does Any1 Else Think LoZ BotW Will Become this Gen's SMG/TLoU? (Or the best LoZ/Nintendo GOAT?)

Does anyone know if Zelda will have quests in the line of TW3? I really hope that's the case and not in the vane of FFXV were it was pretty big and empty. From the gameplay vids, all I've seen is enemy camps in which you clear and get a chest, haven't seen anything other than that.

It certainly looks amazing and I've been waiting since 2014 for this game. TLOU2 RDR2 horizon BotW And new Mario oddesy all should be pretty epic games



After watching BotW's latest trailer (like in the double digits in terms of viewership for me), I continue to be amazed on how much was shown and still remained a mystery. Idk about GoTG or GOAT, but I can see this game become one of the best games I've every played period. Haven't played TW3 yet (though I have the complete edition), nor games like Fallout 4 and such, but I hope BotW can find its place amongst the best in this gen (and hopefully of all-time).



No, I don't think so.



I think the game is massively overhyped and will receive a lot of mixed reviews. Nintendo does not play in the first league of gaming anymore.

Ever thought that there is a reason for all that hype? I mean come on, this is The Legend of Zelda we are talking about. There is a reason why it's one of the most highly rated and well know gaming franchises of all time. Breath of the Wild is about to the biggest jump in the series since Ocarina of Time, it's probably the title that has got the best shot of de-throning Ocarina of Time too. It's the first HD and truely open world Zelda game, the series has been ground breaking enough for 30 years without those things, they're only going to enhance the series potential. There is a reason why The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild has such high pedestal to stand on, and it's because it's literally one of the most well known, ground-breaking, influencial, highly rated gaming franchises of all time. I think it's pretty deserving of all the hype it gets.



Zeldas and Marios will always be in the discussion for Gaming Defining games, they've earned that right.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Are you sure that it is Zelda and not a Skyrim clone? Where are the dungeons, the heart pieces, the Zelda items? Where is the music? Does having more than 20 slots for physics based tools and Amiibo really make it better? Will the huge but empty worlds get boring?

My guess is that it will get very good ratings from non-Zelda fans but some bad metacritic scores from former Zelda fans.



No?

I think that like every other sandbox, it will become an exercise on repetition and boredom.



Its too early to think it ll be game of the gen.
Too many other good things out there.
