this is why the open world of breath of the wild is special.

Zelda has a great gameplay sandbox..... but I am not a fan of people thinking everything ought to be like that or that its better because it has certain things and others don't.

Lets take the wind gliding and sheild surfing thingy for instance..... its great and all as a gameplay mechanic. But not all open world games would benefit from that. Simply cause such a gameplay mechanic just wouldnt fit with the wold they are trying to portray.

Can you picture Alloy chopping down a tree with 2 swipes of here spear? Or climbing to the topof a hill and jumping off and magically gliding with a tarp shes holding over her head? Or stuff like that happening in the witcher..... stuff like that would just break the game's immersion.

Is it just me, or do nintndo fans have this way of thinking taht everything or mechanic in a nintendo game is the best thing ever?

I'm not saying that those games are bad, I'm saying that breath of the wild is special for specific reasons. I really hate when people wanna change what I said for an speficic agenda, the "Nintendo fans" comments is uncalled and totally crazy because Open world action adventure games is my favorite genre, so I'm more than just a "Nintendo fan" trying to say "that something is better than something because Nintendo"

Since this is my favorite genre and I play this genre more than anything else, I'm explaining why this game is different and special. "better or not" that's subjective and a point of view.

Apparently you can't voice opinions or enjoy things without someone getting butthurt from your personal enjoyment. This is literally the most immersive open world game I have ever played and I put tons of hours into Skyrim. The game would get boring for me and I could only play it a couple of hours at a time before I had to take breaks. Fetch quests abound. Yes, Zelda has a few of those, but for the most part because of the freedom of movement and exploration in the game I have spent a lot of time doing just that - exploring. Zelda is a much more fun experience, and it makes me want to explore more, something that I did for awhile in Skyrim but really only because I wanted more powerful stuff, not because it was super duper fun. The leveling and quest for more and better items in Skyrim was a major reason that I put so many hours into it.

With Breath of the Wild, I really love the exploration. I love the puzzles, the random characters you meet along the way, searching for the little Korok leafs, climbing mountains just to see what's on the horizon, hunting, capturing and taming horses, finding the great fairy fountains, etc. It's all just so rewarding and cool to see, I don't feel like I am doing it just to be more powerful, or because it is the only way to progress in the game. I am doing it because I want to, and because this game makes it a fun and rewarding experience. ONION, you are RIGHT ON! Some people just can't accept when Nintendo does something great, even though they literally do it all of the freaking time with their games, they just assume there must be something wrong with the world when something positive comes from Nintendo.
