no botw thread? Let's change that.
Botw appreciation
Evan Thompson
Chase Hughes
Matthew Ward
this game is good, but i can't help but feel it has more potential. imagine the sweetass optional dungeons they could've had around the map. it could've used some enemy variety too but the mini bosses were god tier.
Jose Ramirez
it definitely has potential. It just scratched the surface of what it could've done and that's what brings it down for so many people. It's a step in the right direction if they now don't fuck it over.

I replayed it recently and realized it actually is a masterpiece.
Hunter King
what made you come to that conclusion compared to your first playthrough? I personally wish i could've experienced it for the first time again.
Luke Walker
Game of the generation. At least until the sequel in 2022 ;).
Angel Davis
Not the user you replied to but in my case it was when I realised I'd been playing the game for almost a year across three accounts without getting bored
Anthony Clark
>2022
>not 2020
user they didn't just code a whole engine with such ezpz copy paste and reusing assets so easily for a sequel in 2022
Nathaniel Bennett
I feel you. I've done the same and on my main account I've logged 450+ hours where most of those hours is just fucking about in the overworld and getting gud.
Leo Watson
I definitely can't wait to see what they do for a sequel but as it stands it's already my favorite Zelda game/game period. I love hiking and being outdoors in general and this is the first game I've played that really nails that same appeal of being out and about in nature for me
Isaac Williams
Months it took me to figure out that. Months.
I don't care if I'm retarded, it was such a great moment.
Alexander Flores
I was just about to say where's Riju
Gabriel Torres
oh absolutely. Agreed.
Jace Scott
trust me bro its going to be 2022. Think about 1986 and 1998. This next Zelda will be the best Zelda for a long time.
Blake Ramirez
Don't worry she's not forgotten.
I hope to see it soon at least. It's a game that I'd prefer to see at least a year before release.
Xavier Robinson
BotW isn't bad but the fact is the legion of good things it brought would've been even better if they were in addition to the best parts of the Zelda formula rather than a complete replacement
Noah Clark
here's how it's gonna go at the quickest.

>2020 Trailer

Matthew Perry
It was a really cool puzzle.
When I did it there was a blizzard going on and I hadn't activated the tower yet, so I was completely lost when I exited the shrine.
And that just made things more fun!
Logan Jenkins
I can only dream, user. Maybe not a teaser this year, not until LA gets closer.
Easton Sullivan
Love this game.
Jaxson Nelson
it's honestly such a fucking shame with the butchered quality of switch screenshots.
Oliver Powell
ik they never do it justice
Nathaniel Myers
I'm also stuck at a shrine. It is somewhere inside a mountain but i can't find it. I walked for an hour trying to find some kind of entrance. I love it. That's how it should be.
Mason Lopez
glad I can use my capture card
Ayden Martin
forreal your screens are crispy wallpaper material.
Dominic Sanchez
glad you like them, user! I've been taking a lot of screens ever since I started using my capture card and replaying the game.
Also, the jojo walk.
Ian Price

Dominic Phillips
I always turn off the Shrine Sensor and I refuse to look at guides. Still to this day I'm missing 4 Shrines. My OCD friends think I'm insane for not looking them up but I like the idea that they're out there somewhere despite me searching the game inside out and back to front for two years.
Tyler Morgan
iirc there are shrines that are tied to quests and certain actions. So that could be why you're missing a few. This makes it nice, they aren't just popped up in the world ready to be spotted from afar.
Hudson Robinson
I'm sure Nintendo thought that they had already put enough effort into it and wanted to save more for future games. It's one of the best games of all time for me, but a little extra effort would've been nice.
Lincoln James
does anyone else play without teleport/fast travel?
i've found it a really enjoyable experience to need to plan in advance why i'm going somewhere, and what to do next or along the way
Chase Turner
I just beat the elephant, what should I do now?
Matthew Long
Sebastian Reyes
beat the bird imo, they have the best music (and village perhaps). Find more memories and shrines. You can also pay a visit to the lost woods.
Angel Miller
The only time I used Fast Travel was when I picked up a new weapon/shield for the compendium, because I have OCD and absolutely had to take pictures of weapons hanging from the weapon racks in the house.
Even then, I'd only fast travel if I standing at a shrine or tower. When I was done snapping photos, I'd travel back where I was.
Julian Thompson
I do have the Shrine Sensor on, but never look at any guide ever. Makes me feel like a failure. I'm playing the dlc from Captain Toad right now and they make me feel like a retard for not seeing it fast enough. Some of the levels are brilliant. Or i'm indeed an idiot. Fuck you Nintendo.
Kevin Scott
Grayson Turner
The toad dlc is how dlc supposed to be. They are going all out with the extra book. They should use some of the puzzle mechanics in Zelda.
Oliver Cooper
looks like shit
Logan Roberts
ow that's beautiful.
Kayden White
thanks!
Zachary Watson
Hunter Collins
It even looks like a Zelda game lol
Anthony Long
Luis Sullivan
I love Kass!
Michael King
Jackson Brooks
this game really has nice visuals in action.
Zachary Ortiz

This. As nice as some of these screenshots are the game only really shines during playtime. It's not the most graphically impressive but in terms of art style it's so fucking gorgeous
Oliver Brooks
Wyatt Jones
David Williams
Evan Torres
Elijah Taylor
I loved BotW, but I also have a wishlist of things i want. i want real swimming and diving. I want real boats that work and not just rafts. A loftwing would be fun to have near the latter portion of the game.
Samuel Harris
Lucas Taylor
Finished like 50 shrines, 30 korok seeds and the divine beasts. About to go to face Ganon. Don't feel like playing anymore
Jaxson Ortiz
Nolan Sanchez
what was your most memorable and enjoyable moment? Glad you gave it a go.

Me too. Had the game since launch but played until the glider and stopped until last week. It started slow but unlocking more regions made it more enjoyable. Also, this time I took my time and enjoyed the scenery. Also, first Zelda I would technically fully play
Angel Diaz
Jaxon Gutierrez
At least post some CEMU screenshots. Not this blurry mess.
Christopher Perry

So OP, are you like, an unironic Nintendo marketer or something? You praise this game so much despite being a 7/10, are you just not very well-versed in videogames outside of Nintendo or pre-2006 Nintendo?

Pass. I beat the game twice too. MS both times.
Caleb Taylor
This was a kino moment if ever there was.
Logan White

BotW should have been much harder, see, that webm looks fun and all but none of that is needed at all, they should have forced the player to come up with creative solutions not only to puzzles but to world traversal and fights.
Adrian Wilson
Luke Perry
>appreciating a game means game is 10/10
>posting screens of game means im marketer
user...
Luke Edwards
Of course this weeb site thinks this average open world game is the best thing ever. Its shitty witcher 3 with terrible weapon degradation and repetitive shrines. Game is good for one playthrough unless youre some autist who pats yourself on the back for solving a puzzle you already beat
Luis Morris
Nathan Foster
Jordan Robinson
Understandable, I suppose. By the way, as far as your diatribe about the next Zelda game being the best of all time, it's directed by Aonuma again, so that's not going to happen. Zelda only has a chance to become the greatest as long as Koizumi is directing, and he hasn't been given the job.
Owen Price
I didn't expect you guys to come in so late.
Jaxon Morales
Angel Diaz
Josiah Jackson
I wasn't the user who said it's going to be the best of all time. I'm the user who hopes for some shit before 2022. I believe they will use botw as a staple for copy pasting and reusing as much as they can and "improve" whatever the fuck they think they should and can improve.
I'm a bit tired of Aonuma, at least Miyamoto isn't shoving his cock in the franchise.
Andrew Rodriguez
I'm just being somewhat reasonable, hearing that you would "Recommend this game to absolutely everyone" is a really bold claim, it's something you reserve for something like Ghost Trick for being a masterpiece in writing, mastery of accessible gameplay and creativity in gameplay. BotW doesn't really achieve those kinds of things that makes it a universally appealing game.
Zachary Martinez
Kevin Robinson
Owen Ward
Aonuma is a complete hack, so I don't particularly expect "improvements" aside from the gamefreak version of "improvements" which is "do things that several company's have done decades before but your userbase consists of people who restrict their tastes to solely your brand so they don't know any better."

I'm all for a botw thread but you aren't supposed to just spam your screenshots. Not your blog.
Ryan Ross
I never said I would recommend it to everyone. I just said I think everyone can find bits and pieces to enjoy playing this game.
>botw doesn't really achieve those kinds of things that makes it a universally appealing game
idk man it's pretty appealing to even the most casual people.
>that one bitch who beat 2 divine beasts without ever holding L to parry/flurry or even sidehop and backflip
I get you. Stop being pissy about a game people like and go touch your Kass plushie in all the wrong places. Have a good one.
Nathaniel Foster
Kass-poster is spamming. I just tried to get the thread going and I dump my screens to make it more interesting.
Robert Reyes
>the physics are so advanced
>you can literally do anything
>zelda botw is the best game of all t-
OHH NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO
Carson Wilson
Appealing to casuals =/= appealing to everyone. You misunderstand what the foundation of "universal accessibility" is, which is essentially "easy to learn, hard to master." Breath of the Wild offers nothing to videogame players who want an engaging and deep narrative, ludonarrative or otherwise, it offers nothing to players who seek extrinsic motivation for their play, it offers nothing to players who want meaningful interactions with the world, it doesn't reward completionism, etc.
Also, appealing to only casuals or core gamers? Sounds a lot like the call of duty or battlefield series to me.
Josiah Phillips
Oh and also, accepting the flaws of your favorite game shows you have a lot more passion or care for it than just outright denying or hating to hear negativity about it.
Brody Reed
This. Thread was comfy for a while
Jaxson Sullivan
Ignore the shitposters. Got some good screens of my favorite game. I don't have the money for a good PC.
Joshua Gutierrez
>it doesn't appeal to my autistic needs
ok gotcha. Literally a game you can pick up and play and understand the basics, like reading harry potter. It doesn't scratch your itch but you can understand the words you read.
>I accept the flaws of the game but shit on those who do as well so i can't be criticized
just give it up. We were having a comfy thread and appreciating the game and I appreciated that anons took their time to play a game that didn't ache to their needs.
sadly. down the shitter it goes.
Ryder Bennett

Tyler Scott
I like the the game much
Noah Ortiz
>Animal species that doesn't appear early in the timeline.
>At some point Ganon is transforming people into animals with Dark World shenanigans.
>Animal species turns up as regular occurring wildlife later in the timeline.
>Nobody is suspicious where these animals came from.
Robert Robinson
You're projecting a lot of things that I never said. For one, I didn't say they were my needs, and frankly the fact you consider those needs "autistic" shows just how unable you are to actually claim who or whatnot can enjoy BotW, because you are too socially inept in order to understand how subjectivity works.
Also, I didn't shit on anyone. Quit getting upset.
Jason Green
BOTW2 should be Majora's mask 2.0. Same base but completely different. Really like a smaller map with more content too.
Elijah Sanders
Link should cross the ocean in a boat to find new adventure on a remote island.
Kodah should follow him, and stay with the boat as home base.
Robert Collins
YOU WILL NEVER PLAY IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AGAIN
Logan Cox
How the fuck did he fly up so high?
Anthony Thomas
Honestly I love this game, despite hating it when it came out. My second chance play through really sold me, and I had a ton of fun with it. I put like 30 hours into it, and I started playing other shit. Now it’s been two months and I tried replaying it, and it’s really hard to get back into it. It’s one of those games where you have to get it all done in one swing, or you will scratch your head if you come back to it after too long. Dunno might make a new save file. Had a lot of fun with it for sure.
Jayden Miller
me desu
Dylan Price
I miss dungeons, hate weapon degradation, fuck shrines.
Still a good game though.
Luis Foster
At least there's the next game, coming soon in early 2028.
Aiden Sanchez
Koizumi. is. not. directing.
You're not going to get Majora's Mask 2.0, sorry.
Ayden Adams
I recommend:
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door
La-mulana
Silent Hill 2
Thief
Terranigma
Ghost Trick
Killer7
No More Heroes
etc.
as far as games that will make you wish you could play them for the first time again.
Brody Scott
Is this game a meme? I thought it was awful
Cooper Turner
Try it out and see for yourself. Cemu isn't hard to setup and if you have switch or wii u just buy it off cheap.
Jason Campbell
This thread has been great I just wanna say I appreciate all you guys who aren't contrarian shitheads.
Caleb Robinson
thank you, too. Threads like these don't need the discussion of the flaws and praise it to infinity. Just appreciate the game.
Evan Flores
>37 posters
>6 hours of screenshots
So the only reason anybody discuss this game is for the criticism? Too much for a 97 game I guess.
John Lee
most of the time criticism turns into whiny bullshit so its better to just have separate threads for appreciation.
