I never asked for a Zelda game like Breath of the Wild either, it's just further proof that we have no idea what we truly want. All the survival aspects of the game are just awesome, though. They need to be there not because there's some hunger meter constantly going down, but rather just because the game is truly hard, so you have to always prepare yourself instead of just running ahead recklessly everywhere - and that's a good thing. For once there is a Zelda game that has me actually thinking about how to tackle each situation, and to learn how the environment affects things, how my enemies act and react to everything, and forces me to be ready for everything - and if I'm not ready, I'm dead. Having to be ready for weather is also a good thing because it makes sense - this game doesn't allow you to just walk beside a lava lake like everything's fine, no, it puts you on fire (as would happen in real life) and kills you unless you were prepared. ...anyway. It really is damn awesome. There's definitely no other Zelda game even remotely as good as this one... and though people might complain it broke the formula and it's not Zelda-like enough, it actually is the most obvious evolution of what the series was originally supposed to be like. |
Well, it's just that I never cared that much for the exploration/combat in Zelda games, and the games being "unrealistic" were a big part of the charm for me. I guess I just enjoyed the simplicity of it all. I don't want to have to worry about clothing because I'm in the desert/snow/whatever. Anyways, I know it's for the better for the franchise as a whole and people love it, but it's just not for me. I'll maybe do a thread about it at a later time, but not right now. I don't want to derail this thread more than I already did =P
