BotW is already a modern classic, and IMO the cure for many of the modern AAA openworld cancers that have been plaguing the industry for many years. Looking at you, Ubisoft. BUT! It's also good to remember that BotW itself is a HUGE departure from what people would consider the "classic Zelda formula". It does kinda take the series back to its 1986 roots, but it also reinvents a ton of things, resulting one of the most OPEN ended games I know of. If you want to have a trip down the memory lane and experience the OTHER GOTYAY masterpieces, Ocarina Of Time (the N64 orignal / PC recomp) is the way to start. You'll be shocked on how much LORE you miss by playing BotW blind, and how much innovation Nintendo poured on their games already 30 years ago.

Seriously, if this becomes a series I am tuning in every damn week! I'm so invested! Edit: also, I can see a few gatekeepers near the bottom of the comments. Don't mind them 😊 Zelda games have changed and come a long way since the first one. I think we'd love to see you give some of them a go at some point. BOTW is very different to some of the old games, which might have come as a dissapointment to some of the more longterm fans after waiting for it for so long. But not all of them 😁 It's a shame it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's every bit a Zelda game as the others, they've just taken a different approach. Some of my favourite content is of this game and it's sequel. It's a new vibe but so much fun!
"of all the games which ones are real zelda and which ones arent?" "my dear theyre all zelda" "even the open world ones?" "especially the open world ones"
This game is my first zelda game, and I still haven't finished it.. Someone gifted me the game last year, but sadly I lost motivation after getting confused on how to continue. I am not a gamer, and it's something I'm not used to, so it was frustrating to continue when I was slowly getting bored. When I read comments like these ; they're surprising motivating because not everyone was fortunate to grow up with games, and know the mechanics of these type of games, not to mention having the console itself to even play. What might seem like second nature to y'all, it's a thing I have to learn more about, and try out.People can be so rude to newbies, so thanks for the reminder :) I want to try it again, even if I'm still a beginner..
@@Ama_tullah hi! 😊 I'm happy it motivated you a bit. I would highly recommend continuing, but don't feel too down if it's still not your thing. As I said, the style of this game isn't everyone's cup of tea. I personally loved it for the exploration and getting to know the world so much that, if suddenly dropped in the middle of it myself, I'd know exactly where to go for supplies, weapons, or safety. I also loved how many ways the game gives you to fight or solve puzzles. It really feels like your own journey and can give you memories of it not every other player will have. I distinctly remember the first time I came across civilization, after about an hour trying to take down the same bokoblin camp and getting chased by a stone talus (big scary rock guy). I felt very much in danger and very much alone. I hadn't seen a soul since the king's ghost sent me on my way and disappeared. For all I knew, the world was empty of anyone but me and I was searching for another ghost. It was night, I crested a hill and heard distant music. I looked down and saw the lights of a village in the valley below me and felt so much relief. I camped underneath three apple trees until morning, because in my mind I thought an adventurer would rest after battle before going forward to reach a distant town. That's one of my favourite memories of the game 😊 and I think it might help you to think of it less like a game and more like a journey you're taking. You don't have to fight every monster or climb every mountain, but your journey will be yours. If you give the game another shot, I hope you enjoy it. If not, don't stress about it 😆
I'm so glad I randomly got this game back in 2018. I still do mods and challenge runs to this day. I finally went and got into all the older 3D games back in 2022 after a great content creator called "Deebeegeek" did the same thing, and WHAT A JOURNEY IT WAS. It genuinely changed my life, the way I think and solve puzzles and explore areas even irl lol. I highly recommend trying them out, but don't feel obligated I guess. Also do what you want in the games and you don't need to listen to any super hardcore fans/backseaters if you don't want to. This is YOUR journey.
to other viewers: hello there fellow adventurers that couldn't experience this game for the first time again but want to relive it to the video uploader: your editing and commentary is on point man, keep it up!
Just watching this guy play Breath of the Wild for the first time is surreal... it's been a while since I was new to the game, or played the game at all, and watching this guy play is like reliving playing this game for the first time.
I remember having a VERY similar experience of awe the first time I played BOTW. My mind continued to be absolutely BLOWN after I left the Plateau and explored the whole map.
right down to jumping off the tower and dying😭 i remember the first time i really Understood the scope of the map. after spending so much time on just the great plateau i honestly felt like i couldnt wrap my brain around it
@@crstph Literally this lol I was telling my friend (who had me over and was having me play it for the first time) "It's so beautiful and there's so much to do, how can you even explore all of this??" She was like, "You haven't even gotten off the Great Plateau yet!"
Not only such an incredible edit but also a comforting voice to just listen to while playing one of my favourite games of all time. It's always a pleasure watching new players who try to pick up this game for their playthrough. Please, keep on going and making a great content
It is funny because my personal Zelda Story is almost the same as yours. Never was a big Nintendo kid (I only owned a loved my Gameboy back then in the early 90s, but never had a NES or SNES. Instead I went for a PC). In mid-2023 I finally bought a Switch as I wanted to understand the whole Zelda thing. Started with BotW but it didn't click. Don't know why. Three weeks ago all of a sudden I gave it a second try. Since that day, I am so into the whole Zelda world that I really enjoy every second and love each session. Whether I'm just exploring/admiring the world, searching for shrines or following the main story. 50+ hours in now and I don't want it to end. At least there is TotK after BotW which I'm already really looking forward to. Thanks for the great video, which I can totally relate to.
10:30 "not used to the controller layout of the switch" That D pad symbol in the top left corner tells me you're running this game on a Wii U instead, either physical or virtual! XD
This is crazy, never heard of this channel before but I just played BOTW for the first time this week. Havent played any Zelda game since Link To The Past. The pic of Frank at the beginning is pretty accurate. Today is my 3rd day since losing my Z-card. First day I played about 5 hours figuring out the plateau and getting into Hyrule, the second day I sat there for literally 14 hours straight and realized it was morning and I had never gone to sleep. This game is crazy addicting, I am not a gamer this is all new to me....just wow.
The Fandom Has Been Summonded!!! We demand more content, just like this. Don’t try harder or be more entertaining with increased followers, stay humble and honest. It’s amazing!
Hi, I’m [State]. Your [Breath of the Wild] assistant! Ask me anything about the game! I’m happy to provide you with the information you need! Here are a couple of none spoiler tips: 1. If you take of your bow while in midair (you need to be falling not just jumping by pressing X) you will then slow down time making it easier to aim a little like flurry rush. 2. That guardian you saw shoots laser as you may have seen. You can parry those lasers back at them with a shield. Be careful though they can break you shield in one shot if you mess up! 3. Sell gems they have 2 purposes money and upgrading armour. But you can easily get more by fighting a talus’s (stone giant you died while fighting it). Bonus tip: throw remote bombs at the talus. It will make him fall over and let you climb on top to hit the weak point. Not sure if you want or can answer this question but are you playing on an emulator? The UI for naming your horse looked a little off.
Your monologuing and editing are hilarious. I love the little squeaky sound when you shoot an arrow. I thought it was just the first time but then it keeps coming back. It's probably too late, but I always recommend switching the jump button in the game settings, so B is jump and X is run/cancel. I find it much more natural since so many games have B for jump and Y for attack. I also like Pro mode for the HUD so it only shows hearts on screen.
I will never say no to a video of someone playing Zelda for the first time. EDIT: I’m cry laughing at your first stone talus. Mine was on the great plateau though
Yesss I remember my first time playing and I was just walking through just exploring at first. And I started picking up all the hylian shrooms and then all of a sudden I’m thrown into the air by this big ass rock. I turn and see it and I’m like “oh that’s not- OH FUCK RUN” cut to me hauling ass back the way I came 😂😂
Amazing looking back and seeing how Tears of the Kingdom addressed the pain points and removed friction from Breath of the Wild. I'm enjoying both the energy and the editing, so I'm hoping to see more.
Production quality is mind boggling considering the size of your channel. Incredible video, it was great vicariously re experiencing this game through your experience.
I approve that you found Zelda. However, play more of them to get a proper picture. Like skyward sword, oot, spirit tracks, twilight princess, a link between worlds. All of these are vastly different.
BotW isn't the same as any other Zelda game that game before it. You still haven't played a Zelda game yet. You've just played the new direction Zelda has went since 2017. Not saying it's necessarily a bad direction, just a fundamentally different direction than any of the classic games
Come on, they are still Zelda games! They have the spirit and DNA of Zelda deeply engrained in their design. Botw is one of my favorite games but so is Wind Waker, they are just from different eras in the series history and I love both dearly
This aint even a traditional zelda game, so if you plan on playing one of them, it'll be like playing it for the first time again lmao Fun journey, that
I remember when "traditional" fans jeered at OoT for being a pale, watered down LttP. Now OoT is traditional and BotW is not. Cue insipid "but dUnGeOnS" arguments from "traditionalists" who forget how time works.
@@lucasstrople4767 Can we stop with the whole sarcasm thing please? I feel like your reply is meant to antagonize. I'm only referring to the games before BotW because I know that's a new 'tradition' so to speak. BotW (and TotK) is so vastly different from the games before. I was only commenting that the original games were so different, really. And before you antagonize me further; I love all the games. I don't care about their differences. It's just cool to look back on what I am used to versus what's new.
I bought BOTW a couple years ago and got busy IRL before I really got into it, then wanted to finish it in order to start TOTK when that came out. Man those few months were special, I hadn't been that addicted to a game in years. Hadn't played Zelda games before that but after finishing TOTK I was just straight up depressed because it was so awesome and I started playing through the rest of the series and I feel really bad about never playing them before, they're all such amazing games
*cracks knuckles* *deep breath* "Ahhh sh*t, here we go again" Alright lets not dilly dally here. This footage is most likely from an emulator because the graphics shown here are only available for modified versions of the game. So it might be an emulator or a jailbroken Wii U. How do I know its a Wii U? The tooltips show different buttons on Wii U and Switch and the ones here are the Wii U buttons. Now, lets take a look at the emulator route. If this was recorded on emulator then it would most likely be a Wii U emulator because as previously stated the tooltips are Wii U tooltips. The emulator in question? Most likely Cemu or there could be a mod at hand that swaps the button tooltips to the Wii U ones if this was recorded on Switch hardware or emulator. Now, your probably wondering, "Who asked?"............................... And I say, "F*cking nobody.
I have played the emulated version with Cemu and it looks like he is using one of the clarity presets to change the colors. (I bought the original game in 2018 btw.)
literally me right now LOL; going thru a zelda hyperfixation, beat OOT and TP, nearing the end of MM, will likely retry skyward sword when im done with botw because of the horrible controls. absolutely lovely series and its an amazing experience. trying to enjoy it every little bit because i am well aware you only get to get that "first playthrough" experience once. just sad it didn't click with me sooner, i've dabbled in multiple of the titles but never really "invested" into them until recently. 10/10, have also bombed myself multiple times and spent 20 minutes murdering a hinox with the remote bombs :D
If your first game is botw or totk, no, you don't "get" Zelda lol, sorry. You "get" open world shit collecting sims :) and I don't mean that in a mean way, just that botw and totk are nothing like any other Zelda game than one another. There's literally nothing but names in them that references any old zelda game, so it's really a matter of not understanding in the simplest terms.
@@BusinessSkrubYou're right man. I liked BotW but I definitely did not want the series to continue to go in this direction. Now with TotK coming in and ruining everything, I don't think Nintendo can make a real Zelda game anymore.
@@tumultuousv it's really not, it doesn't have dungeons, items that evolve the gameplay over the course of the game, caves ect. There are 20 odd games, if only two of them are like BotW then BotW isn't an accurate representation of the series as a whole.
@@n1nj4l1nkI understand where you're coming from, as I'm also an avid Zelda fan. But we shouldn't shame new fans for being new fans. These predecessors will always be here and people will go on their own journey to find what they value in this series most
@@bepis_real I wasn't trying to shame anyone though in hindsight I can see how it came across that way. My point was more that it's doing the series' rich history (and yourself) a disservice to think you understand it based on one game that is massively different to most of the rest of the series.

That's one of my favourite memories of the game 😊 and I think it might help you to think of it less like a game and more like a journey you're taking. You don't have to fight every monster or climb every mountain, but your journey will be yours.
If you give the game another shot, I hope you enjoy it. If not, don't stress about it 😆
@jessicaable5095 Thanks so much for the thoughtful note! Have a great rest of your day! ^_^
I'm so glad I randomly got this game back in 2018. I still do mods and challenge runs to this day. I finally went and got into all the older 3D games back in 2022 after a great content creator called "Deebeegeek" did the same thing, and WHAT A JOURNEY IT WAS. It genuinely changed my life, the way I think and solve puzzles and explore areas even irl lol. I highly recommend trying them out, but don't feel obligated I guess. Also do what you want in the games and you don't need to listen to any super hardcore fans/backseaters if you don't want to. This is YOUR journey.
to other viewers: hello there fellow adventurers that couldn't experience this game for the first time again but want to relive it
to the video uploader: your editing and commentary is on point man, keep it up!
also coming back from totk, it amazes me how little we actually had of crafting in botw
Just watching this guy play Breath of the Wild for the first time is surreal... it's been a while since I was new to the game, or played the game at all, and watching this guy play is like reliving playing this game for the first time.

I remember having a VERY similar experience of awe the first time I played BOTW. My mind continued to be absolutely BLOWN after I left the Plateau and explored the whole map.
right down to jumping off the tower and dying😭 i remember the first time i really Understood the scope of the map. after spending so much time on just the great plateau i honestly felt like i couldnt wrap my brain around it
@@crstph Literally this lol I was telling my friend (who had me over and was having me play it for the first time)
"It's so beautiful and there's so much to do, how can you even explore all of this??"
She was like, "You haven't even gotten off the Great Plateau yet!"
This is hilarious. Please do full let's plays. So many great quotes.
I got a crazy amount of enjoyment from this. I hope you continue on.
The squeeky sound when using a bow and arrow gets me everytime. Botw was also my first zelda game and watching you play takes me back! Great video
Not only such an incredible edit but also a comforting voice to just listen to while playing one of my favourite games of all time. It's always a pleasure watching new players who try to pick up this game for their playthrough. Please, keep on going and making a great content
You are the ONLY PERSON THAT IVE MET THAT KNOWS ABOUT THE “ruby ruby ruby rubay, du du du du du nuhhh” song
He sung that part and my head WHIPPEd around like BRUH.
It is funny because my personal Zelda Story is almost the same as yours. Never was a big Nintendo kid (I only owned a loved my Gameboy back then in the early 90s, but never had a NES or SNES. Instead I went for a PC). In mid-2023 I finally bought a Switch as I wanted to understand the whole Zelda thing. Started with BotW but it didn't click. Don't know why. Three weeks ago all of a sudden I gave it a second try. Since that day, I am so into the whole Zelda world that I really enjoy every second and love each session. Whether I'm just exploring/admiring the world, searching for shrines or following the main story. 50+ hours in now and I don't want it to end. At least there is TotK after BotW which I'm already really looking forward to.
Thanks for the great video, which I can totally relate to.
Did you try the other Zelda games?
plz make a part 2 bro i have no idea who you were until this vid but now i wanna see more
Please make this a series man! It's very entertaining to watch someone play it for the first time!
10:30 "not used to the controller layout of the switch"
That D pad symbol in the top left corner tells me you're running this game on a Wii U instead, either physical or virtual! XD
Ah, you're using an emulator! The King's spirit disappearing is usually more graceful on the intended hardware. :P
@@MrLuigiBean1The rag doll physics too 😂
honestly it's always such a gem to find people playing this game for the first time
nah bro u entertaining as hell without being over the top im absolutely gonna come back for more parts
“Oh but I don’t want to take his axe”
He will turn, be patient. He will give in to the chaos we all have.
TH-cam recommendations doing their job! I love it here!
I had a lot of fun hearing your reactions and watching you play for the first time.
Thanks for sharing!
commenting for the algo, I love seeing people play this masterpiece for the first time
i honestly really enjoyed this type of a video, praying for the series to continue, its so much fun to watch!!
I hope theres more recordings of this, I love seeing the reactions to everything lol
This is crazy, never heard of this channel before but I just played BOTW for the first time this week. Havent played any Zelda game since Link To The Past. The pic of Frank at the beginning is pretty accurate. Today is my 3rd day since losing my Z-card. First day I played about 5 hours figuring out the plateau and getting into Hyrule, the second day I sat there for literally 14 hours straight and realized it was morning and I had never gone to sleep. This game is crazy addicting, I am not a gamer this is all new to me....just wow.
Welcome to the community, and welcome to one of the best open world games in the last decade.
The Fandom Has Been Summonded!!! We demand more content, just like this. Don’t try harder or be more entertaining with increased followers, stay humble and honest. It’s amazing!
6:35 The f***?! I played this game for over 1,000 hours and I seriously am only seeing this now?!?! 🙃
“Oh this is quite beautiful…”
*(throws saturated filter over the video, tarnishing the original beauty)*
Hi, I’m [State]. Your [Breath of the Wild] assistant! Ask me anything about the game! I’m happy to provide you with the information you need!
Here are a couple of none spoiler tips: 1. If you take of your bow while in midair (you need to be falling not just jumping by pressing X) you will then slow down time making it easier to aim a little like flurry rush.
2. That guardian you saw shoots laser as you may have seen. You can parry those lasers back at them with a shield. Be careful though they can break you shield in one shot if you mess up!
3. Sell gems they have 2 purposes money and upgrading armour. But you can easily get more by fighting a talus’s (stone giant you died while fighting it).
Bonus tip: throw remote bombs at the talus. It will make him fall over and let you climb on top to hit the weak point.
Not sure if you want or can answer this question but are you playing on an emulator? The UI for naming your horse looked a little off.
Your monologuing and editing are hilarious. I love the little squeaky sound when you shoot an arrow. I thought it was just the first time but then it keeps coming back.
It's probably too late, but I always recommend switching the jump button in the game settings, so B is jump and X is run/cancel. I find it much more natural since so many games have B for jump and Y for attack. I also like Pro mode for the HUD so it only shows hearts on screen.
I will never say no to a video of someone playing Zelda for the first time.
EDIT: I’m cry laughing at your first stone talus. Mine was on the great plateau though
Yesss I remember my first time playing and I was just walking through just exploring at first. And I started picking up all the hylian shrooms and then all of a sudden I’m thrown into the air by this big ass rock. I turn and see it and I’m like “oh that’s not- OH FUCK RUN” cut to me hauling ass back the way I came 😂😂
" why am I break dancing " I lost it lmao
This video is so fun hope you make it into a series
Loved this! Just a gentle reminder that you can remap your buttons on the Switch and save the load out if you want.
yo this video is awesome, hope to see more! :D
This feels like a classic great TH-cam let’s play, great job man this is a fantastic video
This was beautiful. Make this a series and you, sir, will have rightfully earned my subscription
"I get it"
**is playing one of the most different LoZ titles in the series**
Watching somebody experiencing that game for the first time is so great to see. Also the video was really entertaining, so much silly commentary!
Underrated youtuber
This guy is gonna check his youtube analytics and get an honest to god jumpscare
31:54 Are you emulating? On Switch, I’ve never seen the Yiga fighter appear before their disguise despawned.
I think so, the keyboard looked different when he named his horse
“I hope there are mounts in this game” oh boy were you in for a rude awaking lmao
Your emulator did something funny to the physics,
but watching you play this for the first time was still top tier entertainment
Would watch you play the entirety of this game mate, seeing the natural progression of learning the world and mechanics is awesome!
Good video mmob
10 seconds in and I am already hooked and stuck in for the whole ride. 10/10 would watch the first 10 seconds again.
My first zelda game ive played is tears of the kingdom. What a game man. I never thought that zelda was such a good game.
My first was The wind waker
i can relate, spent 100 hours on my first play through
im not gonna be all "why did you play totk first?!??!?!?!" but i lowk think botw is so much better if you play it before totk
mine was oot
@@theclarientguy rookie numbers. I played for over 200 hours
Bro was litteraly 10 seconds away from the rain passing and said "nah, fuck it".
Amazing looking back and seeing how Tears of the Kingdom addressed the pain points and removed friction from Breath of the Wild. I'm enjoying both the energy and the editing, so I'm hoping to see more.
Watched the entire video and during that while time I assumed this channel had like a mil subs lol.
That's some good content!
Okay but your voice is what I think BOTW Link sounds like bro.
Production quality is mind boggling considering the size of your channel. Incredible video, it was great vicariously re experiencing this game through your experience.
I approve that you found Zelda. However, play more of them to get a proper picture. Like skyward sword, oot, spirit tracks, twilight princess, a link between worlds. All of these are vastly different.
Welcome to the Zelda family, I’ve been playing for six years and we’re glad to have you!
i think all zelda fans are jealous of people who can still play this game for the first time
BotW isn't the same as any other Zelda game that game before it. You still haven't played a Zelda game yet. You've just played the new direction Zelda has went since 2017. Not saying it's necessarily a bad direction, just a fundamentally different direction than any of the classic games
Come on, they are still Zelda games! They have the spirit and DNA of Zelda deeply engrained in their design. Botw is one of my favorite games but so is Wind Waker, they are just from different eras in the series history and I love both dearly
"i did all that and i died" is kind of the epitome of fighting monster camps early game lmao
This aint even a traditional zelda game, so if you plan on playing one of them, it'll be like playing it for the first time again lmao
Fun journey, that
This is a traditional Zelda game though, this is the new tradition that the games will use from now on
I remember when "traditional" fans jeered at OoT for being a pale, watered down LttP.
Now OoT is traditional and BotW is not.
Cue insipid "but dUnGeOnS" arguments from "traditionalists" who forget how time works.
@@lucasstrople4767 Can we stop with the whole sarcasm thing please? I feel like your reply is meant to antagonize. I'm only referring to the games before BotW because I know that's a new 'tradition' so to speak. BotW (and TotK) is so vastly different from the games before. I was only commenting that the original games were so different, really.
And before you antagonize me further; I love all the games. I don't care about their differences. It's just cool to look back on what I am used to versus what's new.
I just love watching people experience this game for the first time
part 2 when?
we love positive reactions while reminiscing on our favourite games to an unknown youtuber
Zelda fans in the comments are so annoying omg...
I bought BOTW a couple years ago and got busy IRL before I really got into it, then wanted to finish it in order to start TOTK when that came out. Man those few months were special, I hadn't been that addicted to a game in years. Hadn't played Zelda games before that but after finishing TOTK I was just straight up depressed because it was so awesome and I started playing through the rest of the series and I feel really bad about never playing them before, they're all such amazing games
*cracks knuckles* *deep breath* "Ahhh sh*t, here we go again"
Alright lets not dilly dally here. This footage is most likely from an emulator because the graphics shown here are only available for modified versions of the game. So it might be an emulator or a jailbroken Wii U. How do I know its a Wii U? The tooltips show different buttons on Wii U and Switch and the ones here are the Wii U buttons. Now, lets take a look at the emulator route. If this was recorded on emulator then it would most likely be a Wii U emulator because as previously stated the tooltips are Wii U tooltips. The emulator in question? Most likely Cemu or there could be a mod at hand that swaps the button tooltips to the Wii U ones if this was recorded on Switch hardware or emulator.
Now, your probably wondering, "Who asked?"............................... And I say, "F*cking nobody.
I have played the emulated version with Cemu and it looks like he is using one of the clarity presets to change the colors. (I bought the original game in 2018 btw.)
God playing breath of the wild for the first time is just a spectacle, I’m gonna live through this guy for 42 minutes.
Just. Turn. The. Sensor. Off.
When it annoys you so much.
It even told you on the tutorial screen.
You. Didn’t. Have. To. Say. It. Like. That.
Cry
literally me right now LOL; going thru a zelda hyperfixation, beat OOT and TP, nearing the end of MM, will likely retry skyward sword when im done with botw because of the horrible controls. absolutely lovely series and its an amazing experience. trying to enjoy it every little bit because i am well aware you only get to get that "first playthrough" experience once. just sad it didn't click with me sooner, i've dabbled in multiple of the titles but never really "invested" into them until recently. 10/10, have also bombed myself multiple times and spent 20 minutes murdering a hinox with the remote bombs :D
Zelda fans are already being annoying in the comments
Not knowing anything about BotW in 2024 is pure insanity, but great video mate, hope you go on to TotK
Okay now play the older games
You can turn off the shrine sensor if you find it annoying. You got a new sub. I never get tired of watching people discover this magical game!
With all do respect BOTW and TOTK are the ship of Theseus of Zelda games, I don't consider them Zelda games anymore
What makes a zelda game a zelda game?
@@FierceDeity35 a lot of things really, item progression, dungeons, a cohesive narrative
"You are studio ghibli old"
The tapestry behind her is based on the one from nausicaa
If your first game is botw or totk, no, you don't "get" Zelda lol, sorry. You "get" open world shit collecting sims :) and I don't mean that in a mean way, just that botw and totk are nothing like any other Zelda game than one another. There's literally nothing but names in them that references any old zelda game, so it's really a matter of not understanding in the simplest terms.
Thats an unpopular opinion
@@alibabaschultz352 and the popular opinion is that they're the best games of all time, and they're certainly not that lol. 🤷🏼
@@BusinessSkrub Well, thanks for sharing your opinions
@@BusinessSkrubYou're right man. I liked BotW but I definitely did not want the series to continue to go in this direction. Now with TotK coming in and ruining everything, I don't think Nintendo can make a real Zelda game anymore.
I would be delighted if the sea were full of cucumber juice.
You don't get it at all. BotW isn't an accurate representation of Zelda as a whole.
It's accurate for games moving forward just not accurate for pre botw games
Except it is. It's literally an evolution of the FIRST Zelda game.
@@tumultuousv it's really not, it doesn't have dungeons, items that evolve the gameplay over the course of the game, caves ect.
There are 20 odd games, if only two of them are like BotW then BotW isn't an accurate representation of the series as a whole.
@@n1nj4l1nkI understand where you're coming from, as I'm also an avid Zelda fan. But we shouldn't shame new fans for being new fans. These predecessors will always be here and people will go on their own journey to find what they value in this series most
@@bepis_real I wasn't trying to shame anyone though in hindsight I can see how it came across that way.
My point was more that it's doing the series' rich history (and yourself) a disservice to think you understand it based on one game that is massively different to most of the rest of the series.
HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE SUBS, THIS GAME HAS BEEN OUT FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS AND YOU MAKE IT FUN AGAIN! I laughed so much!!
The game came out march 2017, so it’s been 7 years if you want to have a crisis :D
