Dystify on Twitter: “Zelda: BotW on Switch vs Wii U. Quite the difference.”
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..
I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.
I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.
Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.
The best prices we've found this Black Friday for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom as well as the previous game, Breath of the Wild.
The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has again commented on the possibility of revisiting the style of past entries in the series – but there are no plans as of now. Speaking with RTL Nieuws, Aonuma said that games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were possible because of what came before them.
Which is very sad. I still wish we could get a zelda like twilight princess, the dark tone and theme in the traditional style. But times have changed and the masses prefer open world sandbox. Smh. Perhaps we can get a proper hd remake of ocarina of time some day.
I played 100 hours of Tears of the Kingdom, enjoyed it, but ready for a game like that next.
If they can bounce between 2D and 3D Mario games, they can bounce between classic and modern Zelda games too. I thought this was a given when the Switch combined a handheld with a primary console.
Then this is where I part ways. I won't disagree with anyone who says that the old formula was getting stale. And I do think BoTW in a few ways was a step in the right direction, but there's way too much good that was left with the old formula in the transition.
Well that sucks. I still love the classic formula WAY more than the Hyrule Engineering Simulator
All I see is better shadow quality on the Switch version. Nothing major.
Why is it so difficult for Nintendo to create just one traditional console that keeps up with the times? I get that trying new things is cool and sometimes pays off, but can someone tell me why anyone should buy a Switch over a PS4 or an XB1?
Everyone has fond memories of the NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube because of the mentality of mostly traditional gaming in mind.
I loved the Gamecube and N64 and wish Nintendo did something like that again.
Gimmicks sell quick initially, but if you're not all about Nintendo only games, why would you get a Switch? I want someone to convince me why it's a good sell.
Are people being deliberately negative. Thats actually a reasonable difference. Better textures, more clarity and detail. It is also a bigger difference than many remastered games. Look at the tree on the left in both. Better textures and shadows. On the right the leaves merge into one on the wii u but can be distinguished individually on switch. The bridge has better textures etc.
My only issue is what are we looking at. Is the switch docked. If so when it is not docked how does it compare to the wii u version? More info is needed.
But the difference is clear between the pictures.
