recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that
not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation
with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~
Dont get me wrong, I fucking love twilight princess and links awakening is the pinnacle of Zelda to me
But the botw saga? No, just no
It’s weird, I liked a lot of the things they did mechanically: I liked that they filled a lot of “negative possibility space” where if I saw a boulder on top of the hill and decide to push it just for fun, the game acknowledges it. The freedom of traversal was also interesting.
But I really disliked how they did lots of mini-dungeons instead of some really in-depth ones. I was very disappointed in the first Legendary Creature what whatever they’re called, and kinda switched off after that.
