| Topic | I'm going to replay all the Zelda games in release order this year |
| adjl 02/05/25 1:45:14 PM #301: | faramir77 posted... BotW is a master class when it comes to exploring a large open world. The series desperately needed exactly this kind of change. The trouble is that I've played through this a few times before, so exploring the world doesn't really feel as exciting as it used to. I'm trying to not hold that as a critique against the game, but I also don't think it can be ignored, as other major Zelda games haven't suffered from replayability issues like this one has. I think you're approaching that opinion correctly (at least, as much as one can judge an opinion objectively). It doesn't necessarily make it a worse game overall or for a first playthrough, but it does mean it doesn't hold up as well on replays because it's more reliant on the sense of wonder you get exploring cool new areas for the first time. That ended up being a point against TotK for a lot of people, because having explored BotW's Hyrule relatively recently, exploring the same world again didn't really have the same lustre (I didn't mind, but I also haven't played BotW since I beat it shortly after launch, so the world wasn't exactly fresh in my mind going into TotK). --- This is my signature.
