Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Polygon: Zelda Breath of the Wild is the hardest Zelda game of the last twenty years

"Lets get Breath of the Wild’s demand that you take it seriously out of the way first, in case you haven’t been following the interviews and narrative surrounding it in the last year or so. Breath of the Wild is, without question or debate, the hardest Zelda game of the last twenty years. In fact, as an “old” who literally grew up playing the original Zelda games on NES and SNES when they came out, I’d argue it’s the hardest Zelda game period. The first twenty minutes or so are pretty low key — you can kill the scrub bokoblins and other minor enemies you meet without much trouble using nothing more than a tree branch picked up off the ground. But once you leave the initial learning spaces and venture into more typical zones, you’re probably going to die."

 

Today we getting Zelda previews and that was Tweeted by Polygon before they deleted what they wrote beacuse they broke NDA.

That is great to hear!



Pocky Lover Boy! 

It may be harder than any other 3d game, but no way is it harder than Zelda 2.

Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

Yeah I think they just forgot about Zelda 2

It's probably the first game any Polygon employee has actually played in the last 20 years.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

With or without the hard mode DLC? >_>



Hunting Season is done...

Yet there will be a harder mode available as DLC?

This is a bit worrying for a rubbish player like myself who takes a very casual approach to gaming and is getting on in years. I might need to tape my wii u gamepad in packaging foam layers if I'm going to start throwing it around the room in frustration.



Thats excellent to hear!Im tired of the casual approach that most developers take.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

well Zelda 2 did release 20 years ago in Japan, and 19 years ago for the rest, so it's a fair statement :p
