The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Here's BotW running in 8K with a raytracing reshade. It looks absolutely delicious.





Also quite the flex to start it off in Korok Forest, the very spot where the retail release's framerate stutters to a halt the most.

I wonder did they deliberately troll people with the first trailer making them spend a year thinking you were going to be exploring underneath the BotW map? This is more like Skyward Sword.

That looks beautiful.

Anyone notice that stuff on Links right arm as he was flying?

Pretty sure that it's the arm that was holding down Ganondorf, merged/fused with Link's arm.

My working theory is that the arm in fact is the Goddess Hylia’s arm. This in itself is contingent on a further theory that Hylia is the Goddess of Time. The arm supplants the Sheikah Slate in allowing you to do all the timeywimey stuff. Also there looks like there could be serious potential for the game to lean in on time travel, but I’m just basing that on Link’s ancienty-looking outfit in the skydive scene.

I am likely entirely wrong in this.

I hate this game and it's totally evil reward structure

OhEvery time I watch a video like that it just depresses me thinking about when I first played through it, rushing home from work every day to get a few hours in, still havent been sucked into a game like it before or since. Hades came close but at the end of the day thats a small indie rougelike, not a whole other world like BotW.

Oh....the good old days!! ;-)

I've been slowly working my way through this whenever I get a few hours. I agree it is initially a bit hard to get into, some of the mechanics are a bit frustrating and moving around is a bit slow. After the initial 4 challenges though, which are really just the game tutorial, it gets much more immersive and enjoyable.

As someone who is a demon for hoarding equipment in games, I too initially hated breakable weapons, but I really like it now. It forces you to learn how to use all of the different types of weapons and to pick the right weapon for the fight. It also means that you can't just equip a super weapon and then wander around unstoppable, slaughtering lower-level mobs at ease. Well you can, but you'll wreck your weapon. Instead there's always a risk you'll get blindsided, even from the stupidest Bokoblins.

Getting a Yiga to Pull the Master Sword! | Zelda: Breath of the Wild

This p*ick just created a new Zelda timeline. BOTW2 is going to be waaaaaay darker...

But I just want the simplicity of starting sword and shield, followed by mirror shield and master sword.

None of this crafting, and scrounging, and other aspects that detract from the fun game times.

And gimme a hookshot over climbing/stamina !!!!

That'd fix the game for BOTW2!
