I thought it was the breaking weapons and stamina wheel that make the game feel real.

this game is so alive!

It's a bit sad that it was compared with Horizon. Horizon just have a different focus. Horizon don't have a physics focus. And that is completely fine. And look how much nicer the hairdo of the character moves in Horizon than in Zelda.

You should go and DDOS some websites that like the mechanics, so you can feel better.

Nah, I'm not a total dickhead.

It's at least the third time I've seen this thread. It got locked every time.

Every time it pops up, I say "Horizon and Zelda don't have much in common. Horizon is more like Rise of the Tomb Raider based on the little I've played."

Unfortunately, since I got Zelda on March 3rd, I haven't played anything else.

This same topic was already locked once by CGI (with the same videos included), so the same will have to happen here. As was discussed in the previous thread, they're different games will different goals. BotW is arguably more successful in achieving its goals, but ultimately the only reason this comparison is even made is because they're both exclusive open world games releasing close together.

Feel free to make another thread focused on the same core topic (it could make for interesting discussion, as it is something Zelda really excels at), but try and either keep it focused on Zelda, or compare it an open-world game with similar goals. We've already had plenty of Zelda vs Horizon threads :p
