| Vini256 said: *Please read everything before posting* Looking at Breath of the Wild I can’t help but feel worried that I’m not going to enjoy it, which is pretty sad as I’ve been waiting for a new Zelda game ever since Skyward Sword came out 6 years ago. I don’t know… it does look like a great game, and I’ll surely play it once I get a Switch, but it doesn’t "feel" like a proper Zelda game imo, since it looks like they removed so much of the stuff that made it unique to me. That’s why I’m making this thread, since I seem to be alone in this and haven’t once seem someone complain about the formula changes. I have some questions for you guys that are playing/have already played it, hopefully the answers will help me get more excited for this game (No spoilers, please!): - Does it still feel like Zelda and I’m just worrying too much? Because every time I see footage of this game I feel like it’s a more “western open-world” type of game with a Zelda coat of paint. - Is the green tunic still in the game? If so, is it easy to find or do you have to follow the story in order to get it? If it’s side-quest related I want to get it ASAP. - Are the dungeons good and/or unique? I heard there’s not a lot of them, which is really disappointing seeing as it’s my favorite part of the series (And no, I’m not counting the shrines as dungeons). - Did they really remove heart pieces and the music/animation for opening a chest? - Does every weapon break (Including the Master Sword) and can you repair them? |
I pretty much had the same feelings.
1. Does it feel like Zelda? I dunno. It's definitely worlds different from Skyward Sword, but it does have a lot of the same elements from past games. It's not a perfect comparison, but it's a Zelda game in the sense that Mario 64 is a Mario game.
2. I haven't come across it yet, but you can dye clothing if you have the right items.
3. Haven't played one yet.
4. Yup. Heart pieces are replaced by a similar item you get by beating shrines. Four of them become an extra heart or a stamina boost.
5. Yes and no.
I love the old style of Zelda, and I'd be really disappointed if Skyward Sword is the last of it. That being said, Breath of the Wild is amazing so far. Hopefully it will eventually be a 2D/3D Mario kind of thing where both are released about once per generation.
