Yeah. I had been hearing about how the game compared to Skyrim and to the Witcher before I got the switch, but found the game rather shallow overall. Still have put dozens of hours into exploring and playing through the story that is there, but there’s not a lot of depth to it - just run around as much as you can and collect as much a as you can and the story is mostly like other Zelda games, but that’s the extent of it.

I love when people come up with narratives for others decisions.

I guess you’re just not used to discourse with people who have differing ideas? I was really just curious to see what you thought was so new about it, but you took the conversation and made it almost hostile.

Good luck with that attitude mate. Cheers.

Yeah, I did notice, and that’s why I mentioned them in my original comment.

I’m pretty sure most people can realize they’re playing the same engine that botw was on, because you know, everything looks exactly the same? Whether or not you agree with it or don’t, stop pretending like no one cares or people can’t even tell.

I’m a casual player here as well, and that’s why I think it’s kind of funny for you to say there’s “a lot of new stuff!” when there really isn’t… which is why I also don’t want to spend $70 paying for a game that looks exactly like botw with a few gameplay changes. I just see it as DLC.

On the other hand they’ve been pretty cryptic about showing really anything, so maybe there is a bunch of new stuff they’re just now showing us.

No need to get offended that other people have slightly different opinions than you.

Is there? Same engine, the same map (but with aerial terrain), most of the monsters were exactly the same, and we don’t even see hardly any of the gameplay. There’s a few new weapons, and I guess new ways to travel, but it seems pretty bare bones to me. Especially considering they’re charging $70 for what’s seems to me like DLC to botw.

Yes that reincarnation cycle happens, but there are also multiple games that follow the same “Link” through different adventures.

  • Link from “Orcarina of Time” goes on to be in “Majora’s Mask”
  • Link from “Wind Waker” is the same guy in “Phantom Hourglass” and “Spirit Tracks”
  • “Link to the Past”, “Oracles series”, and “Links Awakening” have the same Link.
  • Link in BOTW is the same on in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

So the characters in BOTW are the same Link and Zelda we’ll see in Tears of the Kingdom.
