    Found you through the Okami subreddit.
    I feel similarly, never got into Zelda, only 3D one I enjoyed was Twilight Princess but I have liked some of the older 2D titles. However, Okami is my favorite game of all time. You’re absolutely right that each section feels like a complete game. Blew my absolute mind when I was 12 that the game didn’t end after defeating Orochi and there was more.
    Thanks for the great video, I will have to try darksiders sometime.

      Honestly I prefer 2D Zelda too, I rather liked the Links Awakening remake. Okami is definitely my favorite Zelda style game, and probably makes into my top 10. Thank you for watching my video, I really appreciate it!

      Breath of the wild is dark souls​@@sadsnorlaxyt. Tbh I wish they would bring back the traditional dungeon and items/Collectables. They need to take the engine and world they built with BOTW and make it old school adventure and dungeons

      Have you played Darksiders 1 or 2? I felt the same about 1, but 2 was awesome

    • @sadsnorlaxyt
      @sadsnorlaxyt  วันที่ผ่านมา

      BotW is Dark Souls if the combat got a downgrade, level designers confused engaging with giving the player an open field (which Souls kinda did with Elden Ring anyway), and made all the weapons out of twigs and dreams. I do think a traditional 3D Zelda game made in BotW's engine would make for an interesting title, but it looks like Nintendo wants the classic Zelda formula to remain with their 2D Zelda games while all 3D titles follow BotW's formula.

      Ik you need views and trying to be edgy but botw is known for its Revolutionary design and how easy it is to have fun.
      Sure botw has many flaws just like any game but when it peaks there is no game even close to it

    Not the biggest fan of Zelda myself. My favorite Zelda titles are the nes titles the 2 N64 titles. Could not get into a link to the past , I think Beyond oasis is a MUCH better game!🤯 I SAID WHAT I SAID!!!!👊🏻🤣

    • @sadsnorlaxyt
      @sadsnorlaxyt  วันที่ผ่านมา

      Darksiders has better combat and puzzles, which is what makes up 90% of any Zelda game, even BotW. The only thing I can really say is better about BotW is that it's graphically more impressive, but it came out nearly a decade after Darksiders, and there is more of it, but more of a mid-game is just extra boring 🤷‍♂️. Also, there really isn't an "objective" measure of quality that can really put one over the other, we just have two opposing subjective views, but my opinion is right tho

      @@sadsnorlaxyt The sheer amount of creativity and options with the combat system in BotW & TotK far outstrip Darksiders.
      The Forest Temple of Ocarina of Time, every Dungeon in Skyward Sword and the DLC Divine Beast of BotW beats any puzzle from Darksiders.

      ⁠@@sadsnorlaxyt is BOTW really more impressive? I mean really? Yeah, graphics are better, given that it was released later, or more powerful hardware, but when it comes to art direction, let’s not kid ourselves. BOTW looks more generic than Darksiders. The comic book aesthetic that Joe Mad brought to the series and reinforced in Darksiders 2, is much more interesting than the generic empty fantasy stuff from BOTW. Joe Mad’s team even made the dead plains and the tombs underneath look really good and interesting.

      @sadsnorlaxyt  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I know the PS3 version doesn't, which is where i first played Okami. I recorded this gameplay on an Xbox series X, and only tried it on the opening scene so I could have missed that most are skip able.
