It's a shame that The Deview/Worlds Worst Review/Hard Drive Reviews never quite went mainstream. I've been around since the second or third episode of Deview, and I've always admired the writing a lot.

17:34 Ooh, Ooh, this is actually me. My biggest problem with Breath of the Wild wasn’t the durability system at all. My problem with BOTW was the fact that game very clearly wants you interacting with all the game’s systems to deal with problems. Dropping rocks on enemies, using bombs, stasis, using other clever ways to deal with things. But, the enemies’ health scales so quickly as to make most of these tactics invalid after you get off the Great Plateau. And once the environment stops being able to kill anything reliably, you have to use Link’s very limited set of combat moves to whack away at tanky enemies with what feel like pool noodles. (Also the coolest part of the game, Link’s motorhorse, is unlocked at the very end after you’ve likely already explored all of hyrule. It was have been so much more useful earlier in the game) But while TOTK doesn’t quite directly address this, it completely shifts the focus of the game to the fuse mechanics and Zonai devices. There’s now SO much more you can actually do. There’s way more stuff you can do with your weapons or shields, and that is you’re not dispatching everything with Zonai tanks or gas chambers. Plus you can also build a FLYING MOTOR HORSE basically whenever you have the parts for it. I generally liked TOTK much more than BOTW

Breath of the Wild was my fave zelda until this game but i gotta agree as well. The abilities in this game are truly superpowers that are useful no matter how much stronger link becomes, and yet somehow the game design is still able to accommodate them. Remember eventide island? That was the BotW devs response to the issue you mentioned! they were aware! This is also why the master trials had to power down link. And in Totk this only ever happens in proving grounds shrines to have you master a certain mechanic rather than rely on something else. And then the other thing: I think ppl were really missing that Zelda "grandness" feeling in botw. It's a really subjective thing, but the story of a devastated hyrule and the hyruleans that would learn to rise to and beyond the level of the champions before them was a bit too down to earth and character driven for some. ppl want the hero and heroine of legend to fight the big bad guy of legend, and to be skydiving from the clouds and talking about ancient godly powers and stuff like that. luckily with the characters that botw set up, totk could dive head-first into that sort of thing yknow?

21:46 the movement in specific is so freaking good. It allows for just the right amount of freedom with just the right amount of trade offs. The game probably wouldnt work without the glider. Its a bit like flight but you cant just use it to gain height. Works well. Especially with the sky islands. But then you have the utlrahand vehicles that do let you basically fly. But there's quite a few trade offs, first materials, you need to spend materials to get it, second, the vehicle can be lost or damaged so you cant abuse it, and most importantly you need to figure out how to build it in a way that you can use it. I know the hoverbike design is something everyone got down pat now, but someone had to come up with that. Its perfectly in line with this game's design philosophy that you get rewarded for your ingenuity.

Hey, 17:34 is me also! I didn't dislike Breath of the Wild by any stretch, but I put more than triple the hours into TotK and would have put more if I didn't rush it to loan to a friend. And it really is all in the different runes. In BotW they felt, to me, a bit limited or situational in their use cases. Ultrahand, Ascend, and Recall are not only really versatile, they also synergise extremely well. Fuse also mediated the problem of durability for me. I felt myself avoiding a lot of situations and combat in BotW because my weapons were in that "too good to use club". Now, if I engage with more of the game and get into a couple of fights, I will - at least - get a couple of useful weapon attachments.

as someone who has never cared about durability, i think fuse really did fix the problem because you never run out of good weapons, since you always have a few silver lizalfos horns you can stick on to something you find that isnt great and suddenly it is great

i have a friend who disliked botw but loved totk! in short, he was intimidated by how open-ended botw is, but felt like he was more guided in totk... he in general doesn't like being left completely to his own devices and prefers to be explicitly led to things, so the more linear nature of totk's story basically fixed all the problems he had with botw. is this an opinion i agree with? hell no, i actually personally prefer botw... it's also not an opinion i understand very well, i love botw but was almost overwhelmed by how huge totk is, as much as i also love it. but that's what he told me!!!

i disagree with the beginning of this review, TotK DID address almost every issue I had with BotW. Weapon durability: Crafting and finding weapon components is now fun and engaging rather than a tedious numbers management game. the materials having so much of the attack power lets you be sure you'll always find a suitable handle nearby. Divine Beasts and Guardians: I didn't like the Sheikah tech at all, I thought it's aesthetic was uninteresting, uninspired, and boring. That's all gone now! The replacement we got for the divine beasts is a nice return to form. Story: The story was hidden far too much in BotW in my opinion, and it didn't do enough to hook you from the start. Well TotK solves that problem too, I easily dumped over a hundred hours into this game chugging along just because I wanted to know what the story was. That hasn't happened to me since Twilight Princess. Overall this game is a massive improvement over BotW, coming from me someone who wasn't that big on the first game.

I hated BotW but I love TotK. BotW made most weapons useless tier, prompted hording of the good ones, too big for it own good that you cant get around easy and it was too lackluster. TotK lets me make up any good Weapon on the Go, I kill monsters and get rewarded with parts, I can build anything to get around or glide all over the place and it actually teaches you the cool stuff. Edit: I really hate BotW and i cant even muster the energy to do the b i r d people area. It so bad when a hoverbike can take awhile to cross the C H I C K E N land.. but only on foot is "Ya no"

8:50 thank you for saying this. I've been saying this for a while. Its so annoying to me when people are like "dark souls is too hard it needs an easy mode" and im like... *the point is that its brutally difficult?* If you want an "easy mode" watch a lets play. Not every game needs to be accessible to every person who could possibly want to play it. And that's ok. I dont think accessibility is bad, by any means, but when its prioritized over what the developers intend the experience to be like, I just think at a certain point it isnt worth it.
