I don’t think Breath of the Wild’s story is as bad as most people make it out to be. It was interesting to see Zelda figuring out how to obtain her powers, the relationship between Link and Zelda, the backstory of the four champions, and the history of the Calamity Ganon and Sheikah Technology. I think the fact that you get told the story through fragments that take place in the past is what most people had a problem with because it’s a story that you wish you were actually experiencing and playing instead of just experiencing the aftermath of it all. I would argue that the post apocalyptic world gives off a certain vibe that no other game in the series has and the soundtrack is severely underrated. But a good story should show and not just tell and that’s why I understand where people come from when they say they don’t particularly like the story. I think Tears of the Kingdom story suffers in the same way as well. How everything takes place in the past and you don’t necessarily get to experience it for yourself.
Hello, thank you so much for watching and for your reply. The story of Link and Zelda and their growth is one of the main reasons why I truly liked the game story. Honestly for me, when being told some of the story in the past, I was okay that it was done that way. Seeing parts of the past in cutscene form, or playing through it is something I am indifferent to, personally. Usually when we play through the past in a game or see it in a movie, it is made to give us information during that time. Imo, even if we were to play through the past in BOTW, to give us information from that time, it is something that is still done from us seeing cutscenes. I feel with the cutscenes it's another way how we can experience it. I think the way it was presented where you have to go back and see everything leading to that point made the story interesting, personally. I feel BOTW had a good balance of showing us, and even telling us information. Such as seeing what happened, like in Roham's story, and some of the other cutscenes, too. I have an unpopular opinion, by liking TOTK's story. However, I do wish we saw a bit more. Like seeing the actual fight with Ganondorf. We really didn't see much of it. Thank you so much for your time. I hope the video was enjoyable.

@@Truvix-zx4pw Thank you so much, Truvix! I really appreciate your time watching the video, and your comment. I am grateful for the translators who were able to let be able to use the Japanese text over the English one. I appreciate it a lot, and won't forget.
Hello, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I am sorry about the music. It's a bit hard for me to find a balance, but I will keep it in mind!
I certainly think the story gets a lot of odd criticism, like "it can be done in any order" ok, so? Go do it in the order you most enjoy lol. Many video games offer players multiple ways to experience a story, sometimes a game has multiple endings, some games only give true endings on harder difficulties, and some like BotW are non-linear, but the video game medium offers a unique way to tell stories that linear mediums like films don't, which I think BotW does excellently. An example of what I was mentioning earlier is the original Resident Evil trilogy, which are some of my favorite games of all times. But the original has many different ways to see the story, and different endings. You sometimes have to go out of your way to see some scenes, such as when Barry rescues Jill from Plant 42, and similarly you have to take certain routes in RE 3 to get the Barry ending scene which is my favorite ending, so if I want that ending every time I play it, then I'll put in the effort to make sure I see it. Same thing with BotW, if you want to experience the narrative in a certain order, then just put that effort in to experience it that way.
Thank you for your reply and watching! Yes, I don't have an issue if the story is told out of order because when we watch movies, and even other games, seeing a narrative out of order is another way of storytelling, where it gives background info and leads up to the point in the present. When you add everything together, the out-of-order parts, fit together. I feel BOTW does an excellent job as well. I find that the way BOTW's story is made kind of accomplishes both sides in general. If you want to experience the memories on the camera in order you can, but if you want to see it out of order you can do that, too. Very interesting about the RE series. I am looking to get into the series more. What you are saying reminds me of BOTW because in order to get the true ending, you have to get all the memories. If you don't, you will not see the true end. This also makes me feel like traveling through the whole story is worth it in the end because of this. Thank you so much for your time.
I don’t think Breath of the Wild’s story is as bad as most people make it out to be. It was interesting to see Zelda figuring out how to obtain her powers, the relationship between Link and Zelda, the backstory of the four champions, and the history of the Calamity Ganon and Sheikah Technology. I think the fact that you get told the story through fragments that take place in the past is what most people had a problem with because it’s a story that you wish you were actually experiencing and playing instead of just experiencing the aftermath of it all. I would argue that the post apocalyptic world gives off a certain vibe that no other game in the series has and the soundtrack is severely underrated. But a good story should show and not just tell and that’s why I understand where people come from when they say they don’t particularly like the story.

Great job! I'm glad that someone is pushing back on those who are bandwagoning about bashing the games.

If you don't, you will not see the true end. This also makes me feel like traveling through the whole story is worth it in the end because of this.
Thank you so much for your time.
Your vocal narration sounds so robotic, yet also very choppy. Just talk normally.
Thank you for watching and for your advice. I will work on it in the future.
