Funnily enough for me, I found the exact opposite. I felt the game really shone brightly during the Divine Beast stages. I can't tell you how disappointed I was to learn these were the only dungeons in the game, and all I had left to do was Ganon or more of the Shrines.

Ha, I was talking about the four original shrines being the tutorial. Tbh, I'm not really expecting anything more than the 4 divine beasts, but I can see why someone might be expecting more, "You're trapped in here till you solve all the puzzles"-type dungeons.

I've been at this for months now with only one divine beast; I tend to meander and explore more than go straight for the big missions. I always did the same in GTA. So it suits me down to the ground.

I suppose it'll suit some players and not others. I was never one for side quests, filler, open world exploration....and I always preferred a strong linear narrative (probably why I love the Zelda series so much). I sincerely hope the sequel has a wealth of rich dungeons, a bombastic soundtrack, and a better balance of open world versus linearity.

I guess they designed it so the shrines were decontructed dungeons.

After the initial 4 challenges though, which are really just the game tutorial, it gets much more immersive and enjoyable.

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!

That becomes less of an issue the more you play.

It never stops being something of an irritant though IMO. Yes the initial fear of those basic swords crapping out generally lessens, but at least there it added to the sense of vulnerability in those early passages. Pegging it while flailing a tree branch around had a panicky charm. Once you become more powerful it became akin to a chore - which was something the game otherwise avoided very well (in the pantheon of open world / survival tropes).

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.

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!! ;-)

All of that effort. And guess what's in it? I won't spoil it.

coffee to go

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.

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

Completely forgot about that ...

Looks like a vine growing up his arm or something, thought it was interesting....

I've never played Skyward Sword so not familiar with that side of Zelda, don't even think I'll bother with the rerelease either, I'll just wait for this....

That looks beautiful.

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.

I still think we might be. There is a point in the trailer Link burns an enemy inside a cave, so there could well be a glut of underground areas too.

God I hate this waiting....all my mind can do is theory-craft

Same, this is the hope thread at this stage

Every time I see this thread bumped.

Got a new 4k projector and while the Switch only does 1080p, BOTW looks glorious on it. Really bright. Actually wish I could go back in time and play it for the first time.

Think I'll leave the wife and kids behind, travel the world for a few years after covid, and come back when they've grown up and Nintendo games are 4K 60FPS.
