This is a good thing, the big Zelda games have been going in the right direction regarding difficulty level ever since it's low point at Wind Waker. Skyward Sword is more difficult than Twilight Princess is more difficult than Wind Waker. Breath of the Wild certainly doesn't need to be as difficult and cryptic as Zelda 1 and 2, but if the average returns to ALttP/OoT/MM levels and they take away from the difficulty curve of the first game (simply put, areas supposed to be visited later occupied by very strong enemies) then I'm all for it.

Those three you mentioned are among the easiest zelda games. The difficulty should be like Zelda 1!

If that means you will have to aim a lot with shitty analog sticks count me out.

Aiming is done with motion controls.

I would actually prefer that if it's an option.

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

I agree, which is really unfortunate, because i love everything else on that game. It would be my favorite zelda no questions, if only the bosses were harder and dungeons less straightforward.

I will likely play on the harder mode in the DLC (since I will get the DLC for free :)) so this is great news! :)

Love it!

Games these days are too easy.

Dark Souls and playing against super nerds online doesn't count :P

Yeah okay. It wouldn't be a bad thing if BotW is harder than those. They're more difficult than the other 3D games, but they and ALttP are a lot easier than the NES games, LA and the Oracles for sure.
