The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. As a die hard Zelda fan, I was beyond hyped for this one. Probably my biggest letdown in all of gaming.

  • No real story to follow
  • No cast of interesting characters outside of optional collectible flashbacks
  • Repetitive, lifeless gameplay. No real dungeons or temples, every “mini dungeon” that does exist is the same copy pasted theme.
  • No score of memorable unique music, just the MiNiMaLiSm of some understated occasional piano.

Came back to my save a couple times to push through, but the entire game is just the same 4 activities copy pasted 300 times with no variation or progression that makes your 50th hour unique from your first.

This is always interesting. I’m not really a big fan of Zelda games but always respect them. And open world is often a lifeless experience with unfun todos. So despite all the praise I skipped botw.

Years later I tried it, and it was just awesome! Totk is anothet story though, I think it sucks for multiple reasons.

Anyhow tl;dr: some non Zelda fans love botw and some Zelda fans don’t like it 😁

I loved botw, I tried hard to love too but it just didn’t hit the same. Still haven’t beat it despite being most of the way through. I occasionally revisit if I’m in the right mood, but no where near the enjoyment I got from botw.
