The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023) • Page 32

Fuck I really should have took used vacation time this week so I can really get into this.

 

Breath of the wild was, in a lot of ways, a new type of game. This feels like they took what they learned from that, and made a Zelda game on top of it.

 

Wow the Built for Rails shrine sucked haha

 

just activated the first tower. oh my god it's the exact same game again

it's the exact same game with new content. yayy I guess

Nintendo isn't beating the full-size dlc allegations

 

That's a wild take to me, there is so much more to do than in botw

 

Yeah you’re only like 2hrs into a massive game lol. I initially thought the same but there is so much more here than I had thought. The depths alone is crazy

 

Also basically every video game sequel is functionally the “exact same game with new content.” Halo 2 is an extremely similar game to Halo 1, but with different areas and more content. Very silly criticism

 

The best way to earn rupees honestly is to sell some rare items like ruby, sapphire, diamond, etc.

although those will also probably make some good fuse items too for durability purposes, haha.

 

I could not disagree with this take more. ESPECIALLY if that’s your impression of activating a tower. Activating the towers is literally completely different and the most fun change in the game that I have seen yet.

 

When I said the discourse around this game is going to be insufferable, I didn’t quite mean like that. That take is somehow worse and just absurdly oblivious to the literal five hours you just played.

 

I decided to go into the depths under Hyrule Castle. I cannot believe how far it goes down. Also snagged that Hylian Shield.

 

Good thing Nintendo has a close relationship with Platinum otherwise that Wind temple boss fight would’ve been infringing something fierce

 

I was smiling ear to ear when I saw the boss name though (spoiler tagging because I want fans of a certain other Zelda game not to know that it’s a callback)

 

Lol yeah I love how similar it is to BOTW while still clearly being its own game. I’m having a blast.

 

I love when people complain about an absolute direct sequel being very similar as the first game.

Same energy as the GoW sequel.

what in the fuck did you expect?!?!?!

 

POV: you aren't beating the full-size DLC allegations

 

FUCK YOU EUROGAMER



the website not you Lori, a european gamer.

 

you aren’t beating the brain worm allegations

 

the advent of paid DLC has ruined people’s perception and expectations when it comes to follow ups and sequels I guess. if the game isn’t completely redesigned from the ground up it’s not enough

 

I did the initial shrines out of order and now I think I’m just stuck here without Ultrahand

edit: pretty sure I have to start a new game which is a serious bummer

 

Anyone try shield surfing yet?

 

I havent tried it, but I heard you can fuse a minecart to your shield to make a skateboard.

 

Idk how I missed this first shrine lol the game quite literally spells it out to you that this is the first one you’re supposed to go to and yet somehow I wound up doing the one on the mountain first. Yes I’m a moron.

 

It’s impressive you made it to the other shrine(s) without Ultrahand tbh, so feel at least a bit accomplished.

 

Im surprised the game even let you get in that position. These games are usually great in making sure you get the necessary pieces or always somehow giving you an out when you think you are stuck.
