I held off on this Zelda for far too long. One of those games I picked up, and just didnt play til years later. Once I actually sat down and put the time in, it consumed my life. So fun!
Same. I bought BOTW and Mario Odyssey at the same time, tried both, and went with Mario. A year later, I tried BOTW again and played it for a month straight. One of the greatest games of all time. So excited for TOTK!
The amazing thing is Nintendo just added the glitches and all the creative things that players found and loved in Botw and made them solidefied features and it looks really good
Fun fact in the original game. The minecart floating machine glitch was found months before release. Aonuma (the guy in the video) said to keep it in as its fun…. It sure is fun
This is something I take issue with tbh. Because that's not a game... That's a gimmick. It's cool when one crazy guy does it on YT, but not cute when an entire team of professional game developers present it as 6 years worth of labor. That's bad you guys, it's really bad. Zelda was the OG Soulsbourne lol. How did From Soft only manage to make every new entry better than the previous while Zelda is now relying on gimmicks to sell. That's a fall from grace, and a tragic direction for a very pristine and high end franchise. Keep in mind they're not "updating", they're just making gimmicky stuff. It's Minecraft or Just Cause when players break it. Monke simulator. That's unbelievably bad. Of course that's if the entire game is like this as opposed to actually having value, but we haven't really seen anything so far and I'm just old enough to realize that only seeing is believing when it comes to video games.
@@samf.s.7731You do know they said that they were on a time schedule for the gameplay trailer so they weren’t able to show everything.

I very rarely comment on things on youtube, but Asmon's comment on a possible "Legend of Zelda month" actually made me so hyped, because I can see that both being amazingly fun for him, but also great content for all of us who have played alot of these games to see him find out how to solve alot of the games intricacies and fun mechanics
The weapon break mechanic is very annoying at first, yes. Later on in the game, with higher durability weapons, it's not as bad. However, I've learned to appreciate the system. It encourages you to experiment with different weapons and fight in ways that won't expend durability. It forces you to engage with other game mechanics to win. Honestly, the way BotW handled that system facilitates you becoming more skilled so that you can preserve your favorite weapons. That being said, it also helps you not get attached to a specific weapon. I actually quite like it. I don't think it would work well with other games, though. It works for Zelda because of the "survival"-lite nature of the game. If Elder Scrolls had ever gone this far with its durability systems, it would be awful. If Elden Ring had durability, it would diminish the game by a lot. It, ironically, actually helps Zelda.
yeah, well it sucked. if they had the fuse ability in the first game it wouldn't suck, cause then it would have an actual purpose. at the end of the day it was a tedious game mechanic that they seemed to have resolved without removing it with the fuse ability
i always kept like 2 almost broken weapons for emergencies. When you throw them at an enemy it does double damage when it breaks so its reak good when you're in a pinch
I made chain reaction traps in Zelda BOTW. Not because I had to, but because I could. I treated weapons as ammunition. Use some low quality "ammunition" to kill a high-level enemy to obtain his high-level "ammunition" and repeat the process. Weapons are everywhere in BOTW. Even crafting materials can be used as weapons. You can't walk 5 seconds without finding another.
I would absolutely watch if you played all the Zeldas. The mainline 3D Zelda games in particular are by far my favorite in all of gaming. All masterpieces, even Skyward Sword despite its many flaws.
@@susanthejew6351 nah twilight princess was fire. actually i cant decide which one i prefer but ocarina, majoras and twillight are the best for me with an honorable mention to a link to the past.
@@susanthejew6351 I think many would argue that you're wrong and tell you to try BOTW, Now I have I have mostly seen others play it but I would go bananas on rain and climbing and but most of all the durability scale weapons have. It's like playing diablo 2 and all weapons have 2 in durability and breaks constantly, and you can't even repair them, you gotta find a new damn weapon! They really need some better blacksmiths. A sword should last a few fights? Years? No? no.. okay..
with weapons breaking every fight, you almost always get weapons again, either be it from the enemy you defeated, from the treasure there was. or just generally exploring the map, i never had a shortage of weapons tbh.
I get the design of it but I have to admit I rather not have my weapons breaking. This new fuse ability might make it a lot better tho because you want to experiment with many different weapons.
I think the biggest charm in these BOTW games is the discovery and flexibility in mechanics, last game dudes were literally using the magnet feature to literally fly across the overworld and a ton of other crazy things. This just elevates that creativity and I’m all for it. Easily one of the most fun games on the switch and I have high hopes for this one
They really need to do some kind of badass link to the past remaster it's really gritty and dark and had a pretty cool plot plus it's Def the best Zelda
@@Quintessence4444 BOTW is extremely fun game and TOTK is also gonna be a huge fun game. So why miss out on any of them? I suggest playing BOTW these 2 months which will make u familiar with all the stuff & combat in TOTK.
The moment I saw fuse, I knew I was gonna fuse an ice wand to a boomerang. I tried to make a fire sword with a sword and ruby and hammer at the volcano and high durability with diamond in the same way for a high durability lightning lynal weapon before. But this is just as good.
I want to know what happens if you attach a Korok leaf to a boomerang. I hope to god it turns into a tornado like the Gale Boomerang from Twilight Princess.
That fact that every material will have it's own unique use on arrows and shield is pretty crazy. Talk about diverse ways to play the game and fusing whatever combo of weapons or material together to make unique items. O_O Looks like you'll have to upgrade the battery somehow to fly higher as you saw with the 4 fan device made. It straight up killed the battery power.
@@ymw1107 A lot of companies/developers were inspired by BotW and made their own open world game. Genshin Impact, being one of the most obvious ones. There's going to be developers that will be inspired by TotK and will try to create their own weapon fusion mechanic in their open world games.
@@Best_grass I mean, it's possible. Having higher tier weapons being fused with other higher tier weapons would create even better weapons.

@@berniecat8756 the thing I hope happens is that Tearsofthe kingdom is like BOTW that it gets ported over to the new consle nintendo s making so it could look better.
Man, OoT was the first Zelda game I ever played. It was also the first Zelda game I finished. The release date for the game is on my birthday, I'll be turning 30, it will be a memorable year for me. A Zelda stream would be really cool especially if you haven't played Majora's Mask, it had my favorite story. I liked the dark and creepy vibe, it used to spook me as a kid 🤣it had a great soundtrack as well, just like OoT.
Certain weapons have certain durability. Most good weapons can be used for literally 50+ fights with ease. Not all weapons break immediately, they can break faster if you use them in a certain way though. If you launch weapons at your enemies, then it breaks faster.
Taking difficulty sliders out of the option menu and putting them into the game. Big fan. I see some of the same ideas that made Elden Ring so good present here.
I hear many people complain about it that never even played the game. When actually playing BOTW I was never even close to running out of weapons and the vast majority of times my stash was completely full. I know it sounds bad on paper but it never really bothered me. Either way it is up to you but if your worry is running out of weapons that is not an issue.
Weapons breaking easily is one of my favorite parts of the game. Instead of getting one type of weapon and using it the whole game, fights require you to cycle through several weapons, dynamically changing your playstyle as you go. I think this prevents the staleness of approaching every engagement the same way.
Though I do agree I do wish they'd have a bit more durability. It really dampens the feeling of finding a cool new weapon because you know in a couple of fights it'll be gone.
@@jokerlou "I don't like this mechanic, therefore nobody else can like this mechanic" I expect no less stupidity from a person called "JokerMyNuts" with a Pepe pfp.
"The changes we made take too long to adress, so we hope you seek them out for yourself on launch" IMAGEN WOW WOULD BE THAT WAY!!!!!!!! Without Beta etc. Would make a huuuugeeeee difference. This looks great!
It’d be 5x as buggy since wow devs can barely manage to make the game playable with large open betas lmao. I do think they should do away with open betas tho anyways lmao
Those who says that weapon durability sucks are idiot. It complements the game so well. I wouldn't want to get an op weapon early on and use it forever. I like that it's forcing us to use different kind of stuff.
I like the new sky islands it reminds me of the floating islands in Enkonomiya. Also cool Homing shot it reminds me of Yoimiya's charge shot in Genshin Impact very cool c.c
I came in here wanting to make a "lol, genshin clone" joke, but was genuinely impressed by the innovative game mechanics. this seems so fun and exciting.
1. Zelda BotW had gliding + climbing in 2017. Genshin copied it and released in 2018. 2. Zelda Skyward Sword had skydiving to drop where you want to in 2011. Predating pubg, fortnite, apex, all of them
Ocarina of time and Majoras Mask were iconic, i remeber being stuck in the water temple as a kid, i ended up having to get a guide book from the game store ( b4 the internet was everywhere) the struggle was real. Great games, great memories.
and now botw (and totk) have overtaken them. (Maybe not story wise, as twilight princess was much darker than majoras mask and more fun to play imo) But THIS is what Zelda was meant to be, and I am so happy that the creators lived long enough to make exactly what they dreamed of. Im glad they had the courage to make the first one and i am super blessed to be alive to play it
You can always trust Nintendo to innovate with the gameplay lol. The hardware, now that’s a different story.. but man do they get creative with the games. 😊
@@kameronm7781 Nintendo has always pushed the limits of gameplay and imagination, they rarely go hard on the hardware with powerful GPUs like others, is what I’m referring to,
@@Cipher_Zone having better hardware isnt the same as innovation though. Those are just separate things. Nintendo always makes some new shit no one else would think of, then they drop it (mostly) then other people just copy and make a better version later. But they are almost always the lead for innovation. For what the company does a lot, them being the lead on it is why they even thrive at all
When genshin impact was announced and was being called a botw clone, that made me even more excited for it. To this day, however, I've yet to finish the liyue archon quest.
I was one of those very few people who never was pissed at the weapon durability mechanic of them breaking it means you don't get attached to anything and makes you be resourceful plus the game literally threw weapons at your face all the time
Do you not own a PC? You can emulate all Zelda games and after playing botw at 1440p 60fps going back to the WiiU/Switch version is basically impossible. I did beat the game on my Switch before trying it on Cemu and I wish I played the full game on PC instead.
@@dayko. nah I don’t have a pc. They’re too expensive for me rn. I have a really old computer which I used to download files on sd cards and flash drives to help hack my systems but it can’t run games. Can’t even run Minecraft lol
I agree that everything so far LOOKS like DLC for BotW, but if you honestly believe that's all the final game is going to be after 5 years of development ON TOP of reused assets/engines that took an additional 5 years to create, in a ZELDA game... You're insane. The marketing for this game has been bad, but we all know this game is gonna slap.
Genshin isn't the same kind of game, it's completely different and has its own story and gameplay mechanics and niche. The elemental aspect of Genshin and character combinations for your team builds is the major part of Genshin, and BOTW doesn't have any of that stuff. It also has tons of boss fights and combat you can do and is continually being added to.
@@GrimViridian unfortunately the switch is absolutely limiting all the things botw could potentially do atm. I had no doubt if the game was ported to other platform it would look absolutely gorgeous, even on a platform like mobile. Just look at how gorgeous genshin graphics is just on mobile alone.
@@GrimViridian oh yeah, not saying it's ugly or anything, it looks OK actually. But I'm just saying this game could look so much better if its on another platform that's all.
@@GrimViridian I get you, personally I like more vivid colors but that's only personal taste, see one of my favorite zelda games being Minish Cap def says something
@@tuba3000 or, hear me out, you can use whatever weapon you want to use when you want to use it. I played on PC and switched weapons whenever I wanted to play with a different move set. I don't need the game to force me to change. It's a stupid mechanic. If I want to play with a sword, what is the difference between having one that doesn't break vs having 15 in my backpack that has the fragility of a stick. I would naturally change weapons when I got a stat I wanted or one that looked better than my last one.
@@JONATAN-VELAZQUEZ Really love how you are telling someone else what is annoying for them or not lol. I played through half the game and quit because I found the durability to be too annoying so I found a solution that made me like the game. You can play with durability if you want, but I wont.
@@JONATAN-VELAZQUEZ except it didn't change the whole game. I played with the weapons I wanted to play with. Elden ring is an amazing game that also throws weapons at you constantly. I picked what weapons I wanted to play with, they never broke and it didn't break the game.
nintendo still sell new switches and new games without making a new console, so they don't need to, most nintendo customers don't care about or even notice graphics/fps differences since they market to mostly normie/child/family audiences that aren't super familiar with modern pc/console capabilities
@@tuba3000 combat depth of genshin aint something that can picked by simoletons. Its elemental reactions and team building makes the combat way more fun than in botw
Funny thing is botw, horizon zd and nier automata came out around the same time, and botw gets all the clones, neir gets all the cameos(shovel knight crying), and horizon gets all the shit to the point it's remaking itself faster than any other game. At least last of us remade crash. At least re is still releasing new stuff. All 3 we're good, but the most futuristic one is the most to stay in the past.
Zelda with bubblegum and duck tape. We will get the same old short shrines with 70 iq puzzles. The game play looks really underwhelming and to be honest unless there's some really bad ass puzzles this hardly looks fun. Also ill get tons of hate but botw was good , but the game really wasn't THAT GOOD like all the fanboys say. top tier zelda was link to the past, OOT, MM, WW. Most of the game was about a 20 hour experience for me , and that was all 120 shrines, minus all the dumb korok grind ( first zelda game i didnt 100%) Now about the hardware, Switch was already old ass hardware when it came out now its 7 years older and yea, some of the games make up for the graphical short fall but the switch really does look like shit compared to literally any thing else , especially the PC. Now if Nintendo actually wants to compete into the future they need to start releasing on PC, every one else is starting to. If they don't well ill just pirate their shit and enjoy the games in 4k 60. So Nintendo , do you want my money ? or do you wanna cater to stupid whales and dumb outdated old fashioned hardware and principals? or do you wanna step up and actually compete in the real game space? I guess that's up to Nintendo , but even gullible Nintendo whale fanboys will eventually catch on.
@@smartmonkey777 Oh sweetie why bother with shrines and puzzles when you can just play this discount Minecraft simulation with Just Cause level of ragdoll mechanics. Honestly, anyone who's been looking forward to this game and hasn't played Elden Ring yet, I'd send them in that direction. Miyazaki San and his team know what makes for a good experience by taking inspiration from the things we like more so that the people who invented it. Shame really
When people say that new games do not bring anything new or exciting to the table. I know these are things that already existed on their own but still, adding them to their new open world and making them look good and fun is a huge W
I love how Nintendo comes up with this stuff. I can imagine the devs sending their own feedback about the previous BotW and talking about how they love exploring but dislike spending 10min climbing up a tall cliff. How do we resolve this? "How about the player can jump through the ceiling to the top?" Done!
I can't help but love that a fair amount of people who have reacted to this had the same urge to fuse a Meat Arrow.

Man, OoT was the first Zelda game I ever played. It was also the first Zelda game I finished. The release date for the game is on my birthday, I'll be turning 30, it will be a memorable year for me. A Zelda stream would be really cool especially if you haven't played Majora's Mask, it had my favorite story. I liked the dark and creepy vibe, it used to spook me as a kid 🤣it had a great soundtrack as well, just like OoT.
"Development is complete."
Yeah that does hit different these days. Esp because it's before release.
Say what you will about Nintendo but most of their big games (excluding some of their sports ones) are almost always complete upon arrival.
@@liaiouihhui ikr, my dream is Nintendo developing a Pokémon game
and then he never followed up with playing any of it lmfao
Certain weapons have certain durability. Most good weapons can be used for literally 50+ fights with ease. Not all weapons break immediately, they can break faster if you use them in a certain way though. If you launch weapons at your enemies, then it breaks faster.
Unless you fight Lionel, then something is going to break in that fight.
@@XDarkNation Not always, but that's true.
People who say this game ripped off Genshin are the same type of people to say John Wick came from Fortnite
Science: falling into water from a great hight is esentially no different than solid ground.
Link: but is it though?
Man, the speedruns of this game are gonna be amazing!
Taking difficulty sliders out of the option menu and putting them into the game. Big fan. I see some of the same ideas that made Elden Ring so good present here.
"Difficulty slider"? What are you talking about? 🤨
I don't remember anything like that in Zelda games.
@@Magemaster55 general statement, not Zelda specific. My point being that I find this way of implementing difficulty options superior in all regards.
@@Magemaster55Well Zelda always had Master Mode, in this one they prob sell it as a dlc like in botw
I'm loving the idea of a zelda month, leave no stone unturned.
4:25 no that is a spirit they can't really be killed due to not technically being alive
Sky Island? Missed opportunity to combine them: Skyland.
I think it would be too similar to Skyloft
6:29 this was the moment the internet blew up lmao his eyes are perfect
I could imagine using Jack Horner's Excalibur by using this fusing feature.
I also said, hey maybe i should give BOTW a chance then play TOTK. Asmongold: “weapons break a lot” Me: 🤦🏻♂️ never mind.
I hear many people complain about it that never even played the game. When actually playing BOTW I was never even close to running out of weapons and the vast majority of times my stash was completely full. I know it sounds bad on paper but it never really bothered me. Either way it is up to you but if your worry is running out of weapons that is not an issue.
Cant wait to see BOTW gameplay!
How to piss of the communtiy.
Tell everyone how much it looks like Genshin.
I love it
Weapons breaking easily is one of my favorite parts of the game. Instead of getting one type of weapon and using it the whole game, fights require you to cycle through several weapons, dynamically changing your playstyle as you go. I think this prevents the staleness of approaching every engagement the same way.
Yes, it makes combat very dynamic, and it fits the gameplay very well. Why do people not get this?
That mechanic sucks and everyone hates it
Though I do agree I do wish they'd have a bit more durability. It really dampens the feeling of finding a cool new weapon because you know in a couple of fights it'll be gone.
@@jokerlou "I don't like this mechanic, therefore nobody else can like this mechanic"
I expect no less stupidity from a person called "JokerMyNuts" with a Pepe pfp.
@@Tigerhearty you will not be missed.
They sold me with the fusing. I'm in.
Asmon you should play this game. Super fucking fun
Fuse multiple shields together until you're just carrying a wall, then fuse a bunch of swords to it
Just imagine asmon windbombing around Hyrule. That would be surreal
You can definitely see in those backgrounds what monoloftsoft helped the team with.
~Passes through the ceiling~ "This ability is called ascend." Oh I do that all the time, I thought it was called early access.
*Great, we just defeated that robot wearing a tree branch by beating it with our own tree branch!"
Everyone including Asmon: "okay."
"The changes we made take too long to adress, so we hope you seek them out for yourself on launch" IMAGEN WOW WOULD BE THAT WAY!!!!!!!! Without Beta etc. Would make a huuuugeeeee difference. This looks great!
It’d be 5x as buggy since wow devs can barely manage to make the game playable with large open betas lmao. I do think they should do away with open betas tho anyways lmao
Those who says that weapon durability sucks are idiot.
It complements the game so well. I wouldn't want to get an op weapon early on and use it forever. I like that it's forcing us to use different kind of stuff.
Then I guess the majority of BoTW players are "idiots" based on what you're suggesting.
Wow this actually got me stoked for this game
Legend of Zelda month would go down in history as one of Asmon's best series if he goes through with it, please do it!
I like the new sky islands it reminds me of the floating islands in Enkonomiya. Also cool Homing shot it reminds me of Yoimiya's charge shot in Genshin Impact very cool c.c
Dev: you can do a whole lot with the fuse system
Asmon: ZugZug
Do it, Asmon! If he streams all the LoZ games, I would watch all (or as much as I could) of it.
Pretty sick that nintendo shouted out the starforged logo with the boat.
im so hyped for this game!! the fusing items together looks so fun!
long stick, long boi!! Man that shiit is CRAZY!! 🤣🤣🤣
I mean, you can't make this stuff up...
I wish they were made up 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I came in here wanting to make a "lol, genshin clone" joke, but was genuinely impressed by the innovative game mechanics. this seems so fun and exciting.
weren't the genshin devs open about genshin being inspired by botw?
breath of the wild came out first so u would be wrong anyways
@@nathanlovell4399 that's why he said it's a joke lol.
@@nathanlovell4399 it's a meme bro
@@mastershep11n74 until people start saying it unintentionally
When are you streaming the game?
Still hope Zelda becomes like an optional playable character.
Let me cope guys, let me cope!! 🙏😌
@@omensoffate Really? You're just gonna spoil that the green dude dies, isnt he like the main character. I am outraged
Yeah, let me play as Epona
Imaging Zelda climbing and making noises 😏
Let's play as Beedle
would have been a cool coop option
1. Zelda BotW had gliding + climbing in 2017. Genshin copied it and released in 2018.
2. Zelda Skyward Sword had skydiving to drop where you want to in 2011. Predating pubg, fortnite, apex, all of them
Ocarina of time and Majoras Mask were iconic, i remeber being stuck in the water temple as a kid, i ended up having to get a guide book from the game store ( b4 the internet was everywhere) the struggle was real. Great games, great memories.
and now botw (and totk) have overtaken them. (Maybe not story wise, as twilight princess was much darker than majoras mask and more fun to play imo) But THIS is what Zelda was meant to be, and I am so happy that the creators lived long enough to make exactly what they dreamed of. Im glad they had the courage to make the first one and i am super blessed to be alive to play it
back at genshin headquarter: Alright boiis, see the new zelda demo? time to get to work
You can always trust Nintendo to innovate with the gameplay lol. The hardware, now that’s a different story.. but man do they get creative with the games. 😊
The hardware is the most innovating part of Nintendo?
@@kameronm7781 Nintendo has always pushed the limits of gameplay and imagination, they rarely go hard on the hardware with powerful GPUs like others, is what I’m referring to,
@@Cipher_Zone having better hardware isnt the same as innovation though. Those are just separate things. Nintendo always makes some new shit no one else would think of, then they drop it (mostly) then other people just copy and make a better version later. But they are almost always the lead for innovation. For what the company does a lot, them being the lead on it is why they even thrive at all
@@Cipher_Zone they don't do that now, but game cube was a better hardware than PS2
Powerful hardware =/= good hardware
If anyone really dislikes the weapon breakage in BOTW, you should try to play it on an emulator on pc, as you can add mods to disable this.
Ew.
This feels like one of those game that forces you to buy to console it’s on. Solely just for it. The amount of work behind it is just that good.
@@phant0mdummy most gaming companys suck ass its not just nintendo some more than others sure but its not relegated to just nintendo
When genshin impact was announced and was being called a botw clone, that made me even more excited for it. To this day, however, I've yet to finish the liyue archon quest.
Genshin devs watching this: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!!!! ✍🏻
Genshin battle royale soon.
@@mranderson4001 I hope so good ideas are always welcomed
That was the point of his joke saying it looked like gensgin impact. Looks like humor goes 9ver your head.
I was one of those very few people who never was pissed at the weapon durability mechanic of them breaking it means you don't get attached to anything and makes you be resourceful plus the game literally threw weapons at your face all the time
Just get YUZU Emulator and play that shit in 4K lol
I'd be willing to bet someone did say something about the boat looking like a dick but Miyamoto and Aonuma thought it was hilarious and kept it anyway
Savage AF 😅
Well... It's more like Genshin copied Breath of the wild's style.. not the other way around
asmon totally gonna play botw guys just like how he played Genshin,Nier,DMC,MGR,FFXIV etc.
I’ve been wanting to play all of them so I bought a Wii U.
It has so many Zelda games that it’s most worth it if you want to play them.
perfect time to buy one since they just deleted the estore
@@gunkid6368 you act like modding a Wii U is difficult lmao
Got all my Zelda games for Free and many others
@@omensoffate You mean worse?
Do you not own a PC? You can emulate all Zelda games and after playing botw at 1440p 60fps going back to the WiiU/Switch version is basically impossible. I did beat the game on my Switch before trying it on Cemu and I wish I played the full game on PC instead.
@@dayko. nah I don’t have a pc. They’re too expensive for me rn. I have a really old computer which I used to download files on sd cards and flash drives to help hack my systems but it can’t run games. Can’t even run Minecraft lol
I agree that everything so far LOOKS like DLC for BotW, but if you honestly believe that's all the final game is going to be after 5 years of development ON TOP of reused assets/engines that took an additional 5 years to create, in a ZELDA game... You're insane. The marketing for this game has been bad, but we all know this game is gonna slap.
It's a shame he hasn't played BOTW 1 , such a great game. Plus this is a continuation of it so he should really play the first one before.
to be fair, botw hardly had a story, so him jumping straight to the sequel won't really change much of anything
@Russ's Shirt Depends on how reliant TotK is on the story that BotW does have. Like if there's going to be callbacks or anything like that
0:50 no sir. Zelda month is November
wow this game is going to be so awesome, Genshin aint got nothing on zelda.
Both games got their pros and cons. No need to shit on one to make the other look better, that's just straight up childish.
Genshin isn't the same kind of game, it's completely different and has its own story and gameplay mechanics and niche. The elemental aspect of Genshin and character combinations for your team builds is the major part of Genshin, and BOTW doesn't have any of that stuff. It also has tons of boss fights and combat you can do and is continually being added to.
genshin doesnt run on 480p 20fps lmao your switch console only worth a pc case for genshin players
so hard to hear and see people calling BotW a genshin clone lol. it's literally the other way around
i love how even tho Genshin was based in BoTW, Genshin's graphics are so much more pleasing not to say better.
@@GrimViridian unfortunately the switch is absolutely limiting all the things botw could potentially do atm. I had no doubt if the game was ported to other platform it would look absolutely gorgeous, even on a platform like mobile.
Just look at how gorgeous genshin graphics is just on mobile alone.
@@GrimViridian oh yeah, not saying it's ugly or anything, it looks OK actually. But I'm just saying this game could look so much better if its on another platform that's all.
@@GrimViridian I get you, personally I like more vivid colors but that's only personal taste, see one of my favorite zelda games being Minish Cap def says something
and everything else is worse
@@ymw1107 I mean yeah just look at people playing botw on CEMU compared to the Switch. Massive difference.
Durability is really annoying indeed, which is why I play it on an emulator instead with a mod that disables durability. So much more enjoyable.
Bro durability forces you to use different kinds of weapons instead of just sticking with one. The game literally showers you with weapons.
@@tuba3000 or, hear me out, you can use whatever weapon you want to use when you want to use it. I played on PC and switched weapons whenever I wanted to play with a different move set. I don't need the game to force me to change. It's a stupid mechanic.
If I want to play with a sword, what is the difference between having one that doesn't break vs having 15 in my backpack that has the fragility of a stick. I would naturally change weapons when I got a stat I wanted or one that looked better than my last one.
@@JONATAN-VELAZQUEZ Really love how you are telling someone else what is annoying for them or not lol. I played through half the game and quit because I found the durability to be too annoying so I found a solution that made me like the game. You can play with durability if you want, but I wont.
@@JONATAN-VELAZQUEZ Not having to go between 5 equally terrible weapons every 10 minutes is the same as activating god mode. Good to know.
@@JONATAN-VELAZQUEZ except it didn't change the whole game. I played with the weapons I wanted to play with. Elden ring is an amazing game that also throws weapons at you constantly. I picked what weapons I wanted to play with, they never broke and it didn't break the game.
The sky islands and the sky diving are very reminiscent of Skyward Sword. I wonder if we'll get any callbacks to that here.
Amibo 😔
Its inspired from One Piece
I find it very impressive how Genshin manages to have so much better graphics while still being a phone game.
Mobile game? Guess that explains why the combat is so boring
Mobile phones have faster processors and more memory than the Switch, so not surprising.
@@tuba3000 whats fun about Zelda combat where your weapon breaks every 5 minutes? lol
nintendo still sell new switches and new games without making a new console, so they don't need to, most nintendo customers don't care about or even notice graphics/fps differences since they market to mostly normie/child/family audiences that aren't super familiar with modern pc/console capabilities
@@tuba3000 combat depth of genshin aint something that can picked by simoletons. Its elemental reactions and team building makes the combat way more fun than in botw
Asmongold sees a giant beast/dragon in the sky. First reaction: „YO! CAN WE KILL THAT, THOUGH?!!!!!!!!!!”
Genshin clones cant stop coming. It is boring at this point.
uH AcTuAllY 🤓
Someone's fishing HARD 😂
Someone’s a hater
Funny thing is botw, horizon zd and nier automata came out around the same time, and botw gets all the clones, neir gets all the cameos(shovel knight crying), and horizon gets all the shit to the point it's remaking itself faster than any other game. At least last of us remade crash. At least re is still releasing new stuff.
All 3 we're good, but the most futuristic one is the most to stay in the past.
@@furyberserk didn’t come out around the same time, genshin came out years later and was call the botw clone. This guy is fishing for some bait
That boat reminds me of the starforge logo
Damn this Genshin Impact Skin looks cool.
Stop
I have to admit that crafting shines in Zelda rather than Elden Ring even though I like Elden Ring.
7 years for this...
I think Nintendo lost the plot...
Agreed
Zelda with bubblegum and duck tape. We will get the same old short shrines with 70 iq puzzles. The game play looks really underwhelming and to be honest unless there's some really bad ass puzzles this hardly looks fun. Also ill get tons of hate but botw was good , but the game really wasn't THAT GOOD like all the fanboys say. top tier zelda was link to the past, OOT, MM, WW. Most of the game was about a 20 hour experience for me , and that was all 120 shrines, minus all the dumb korok grind ( first zelda game i didnt 100%)
Now about the hardware, Switch was already old ass hardware when it came out now its 7 years older and yea, some of the games make up for the graphical short fall but the switch really does look like shit compared to literally any thing else , especially the PC. Now if Nintendo actually wants to compete into the future they need to start releasing on PC, every one else is starting to. If they don't well ill just pirate their shit and enjoy the games in 4k 60. So Nintendo , do you want my money ? or do you wanna cater to stupid whales and dumb outdated old fashioned hardware and principals? or do you wanna step up and actually compete in the real game space? I guess that's up to Nintendo , but even gullible Nintendo whale fanboys will eventually catch on.
@@smartmonkey777 Oh sweetie why bother with shrines and puzzles when you can just play this discount Minecraft simulation with Just Cause level of ragdoll mechanics.
Honestly, anyone who's been looking forward to this game and hasn't played Elden Ring yet, I'd send them in that direction.

@@emiami458 thing is, 20 million copies sold disagree 😅
May and June is a crazy gaming timeline
in fact Genshin Impact was done after BOTW and it's a fucking clone.
Weapon breaks are actually not as annoying as it seems on paper because there are _too many_ replacement weapons you'd be wishing they break faster.
towards the mid game, I was literally throwing weapons away in order to pick up new better ones.
Can't wait to try another genshin clone
