I genuinely feel that botw was better BotW definitely had more of an impact on me; I feel like the story was a hell of a lot better in how it was told, plus the whole world/experience was new at the time. That being said, I think TotK improved upon everything else, so I almost feel like a hipster for saying that I still hold BotW in higher regard despite that. It was just one of those unique, one-of-a-kind video gaming experiences for me, and that's something you can't ever recreate or experience in quite the same way again. Anyway, I'd rate both extremely highly, probably as close to a 10 as you can get for me.

fire_bolt 05/12/24 9:56:29 PM #29:	Lazy_Haar posted... almost feel like a hipster for saying that I still hold BotW in higher regard Its not as unpopular an opinion as you think. Basically some people prefer the story driven aspect of the games and those people prefer BOTW for its tighter, more cohesive story. Some people prefer the mechanical aspect of the games and those people prefer TOTK for its greatly expanded set of powers, crafting, and many quality of life improvements. Nothing is wrong with either preference, just comes down to what you enjoyed more.

If i remember correctly, an official interview gave the reasoning that the technology just disappeared and that we shouldnt worry about it, which is absurd. I can forgive discrepancies in Zeldas that arent connected, but this is literally a direct sequel so idk why they were so haphazard about the lore here That interview was so bad it made a ton of zeldatubers basically jump ship, lmao. --- Look, I can name a few instances in MY life where I tried to reach mutual understanding and i can TELL you, always faster and easier to just kill em.

Its just so strange how botw went so deep into the lore and past of this version of link and Hyrule, and then for totk they justkind of hang it out to dry? The small parts that do reference botw almost feel like easter eggs rather than substantial parts of the game, which is absolutely crazy for a direct sequel.

BotW and TotK basically made me give up on the idea of a connected timeline at all and just consider groups of Zelda games as different continuities. I think that's a better way to do things, tbh. Like as examples, the NES games are their own continuity, OoT->MM->WW->PH->ST is another, SS->BOTW->TOTK is another, etc. It's based off of direct plot-relevant references. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA <cite>BakonBitz posted [p:980367638] in Zelda: Tea...

I think the reason the lack of connection is particularly strange in totk is that its supposed to be a direct sequel to botw. Games taking place thousands of years apart? Whatever, theres gonna be some discrepancies. Games taking place 5 years apart in the same continuity tho?

Philip027 05/12/24 11:16:44 PM #50:	Meh, more of the same, and I didn't have much regard for the original. If anything, one of the aspects I found very tedious in the first game (weapon durability/management) was made even worse in the sequel due to weapons being made overall even more brittle unless you took the time to fuse something to them. <cite>Philip027 posted [p:980368228] in Zelda: Tea...
