Anyway, while I am enjoying this game, I do think that many of the storylines (especially the main one) are too similar to BOTW's. I wish they would have been more creative in that department 

You mean it broke? You might be able to buy it again like in BotW, but I'm not sure.

 

Have you found the memories? The "four heroes from diff tribes help you beat the bad guy" thing is obviously just taken right from BotW (and other Zelda games ), but I actually found the fuller story—with the memories, Zelda backstory, etc.—to be pretty distinct. It's actually pretty good for the series imo.

I love this game but at the same time I find it so overwhelming with the amount of content… is that just me?

No it's not just you. Even me as an addict of open world games, I felt a bit burned out and discouraged at the beginning by the amount of things to do (but that's also because I finished another playthrough of BoTw just 2 weeks ago ). Tbh it goes away once you get used to the new mechanics, get full control and become more powerful. That overwhelming feeling goes away.

It's literally immposible to go from point A to B without getting distracted all the time - that's why I try not to leave specific area without being sure I've done a lot there so I don't feel like im running around the map doing random s***

It's easy to get it back! But putting it in a spoiler for safety.

 

Spoiler

If you have already obtained it from Hyrule Castle and it breaks, you can rebuy it from Cece in Hateno Village after finishing the Mayoral Election sidequest for 3,000 rupees. She functions as the rebuy merchant like in Tarrey Town in BOTW. Also, if it's badly damaged and it hasn't broken yet, you can drop it in front of a rock octorok who will suck it up, repair it, AND give it a new effect. Mine got durability up

omg, the octorok tip is so useful, ty!!

Honestly at the beginning I was a bit put off by the aethestic of weapons that I was sporting on me, it ruined my looks. I thought the entire game would be a variant of ugly metal, stick and stones mashed together but I was painfully wrong.

 

Today my entire inventory of weapons is beautiful.  I've made art.

My "Black Boko Two Handed Axe with Zonaite Longsword" is so  I also made a reaper sword with a Naydra Horn and I was shooketh how good it looked

 

I noticed the more powerful the monster parts are, the better they look and mesh with other weapons to create some stunning pieces.

This. I fused some kind of spear with a White-Maned Lynel horn or whatever and it looks so good (and has 60-something attack power)  

 

Gloom Hands spoiler:

Spoiler

When I find a Silver Lynel, I'm gonna fuse the horn with my Gloom Spear and it'll probably be like 90+ attack

They made an underpants side quest without Tauro. 0/10 game 

[ebaby]

All this talk from the Hylians about the great fashion designer Cece and I finally get to Hateno village and it's not really giving  at all

 

this mushroom look is not it. I don't know if I like her stuff taking over the town.. I'm with the mayor on that one 

 

[Rence]

I went through hell just to get Majora’s Mask 

 

[Cruel Summer]

I just want to say, whatever those gloom hands are - they scare the **** out of me every time, and I can NOT seem to damage them worth a ****. Like the bar barely even moves. I hate them  Love the extra flavor the dread and fear add to the experience though!

 

Anyway now that someone else has mentioned it, this doesn't really feel like a spoiler - what they did to Hateno Village made me actually a bit upset. I'll go back to BOTW literally just because of that. It's the only thing I don't like about the game so far, so like, I guess that's fine, but Hateno was my favorite location in the whole series.

I’ve finally decided to play through the Zelda series. I’ve put some hours into TOTK but I kinda wanna go through the series before I finish it.

 

I’m playing the games chronologically so Skyward Sword HD is up first. Considering it’s at the bottom of every list I’m not sure it’s the best approach, but we’ll see.

BOTW3, just with a completely new map seems possible considering it will be on a new system, & Nintendo would 100% welcome the OG Switch System seller. I feel like the Zelda team will be copying the BOTW format from now on from fear of losing that stable 20M sales. TOTK pretty much copied BOTW the way Pokemon copies its 8 gyms. 

I would DIE for a BOTW3 at this point. Give me a prequel during the golden age of the Zonai, or during the height of Sheikah civilization when the first Calamity struck, or a sequel inspired by Wind Waker where the open world is chains of huge islands and the underwater ruins of an mysterious prior Hyrule to hint at timeline shenanigans - I'd even just take remakes of older games in the BOTW style, with their mechanics and world obviously expanded to match the BOTW formula. Like I was just imagining the other day - a remake of A Link To The Past in full, glorious open-world 3D? A radical expansion of Termina into a fuller 3D world to revisit Majora's Mask?

 

I love the BOTW style and formula so much, the possibilities are endless, my two favorite video games of all time for a reason and I'd happily take twenty more

Arrived at Kakariko village, I though Paya was going to act more shy tbh

What?  Are you talking about that fake retconned timeline? That's not real sis. Just play them by release date.

Not these YouTube nerds filling hours of content with misinformation. Yeah, I was talking about the different timelines.

I mean, some parts of it are real, kind of  But @feelslikeadream has a point. The official timeline was contrived as an answer to questions from fans, and it has been revised mant times before. It could be revised any time again.

 

The main parts of the timeline that are "real" IMO are this:

• Both Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker were conceived as relatively direct sequels to Ocarina of Time (the latter through explicit references to its version of Link, the Hero of Time, and the former through literally being the same Link in the "child timeline")
• Twilight Princess is also essentially a sequel to OoT based on the time travel of the latter letting child timeline Link warn people about Ganon in advance - by this point, the games were being developed with the timeline somewhat in mind
• Skyward Sword was intentionally developed as an origin story for Zelda, Link, Ganon, and their reincarnation cycle, preceding all other games by definition unless retconned later
• Some games (The Wind Waker, Four Swords, A Link to the Past, the original 1986 game, etc) have direct or explicit sequels or prequels
• Finally, timeline discourse all really kicked into high gear because Ocarina of Time itself was intended to depict the Imprisoning War mentioned in the lore of A Link to the Past - but it has some differences from what ALttP describes, and The Wind Waker is essentially mutually exclusive with ALttP as an OoT sequel.

The big issue more recently is that with BOTW, they basically hand-waved its placement as "so far in the future that it's at the end of all the timelines." I can't tell you if Tears of the Kingdom really changes any of that because it would be spoilers but also because I literally don't know, I'm less than half done with the story of the game myself. With this, whether the timeline is consequential at all is up in the air going forward, and they can just revise it as they see fit. The pieces I mentioned above can be arranged into countless combinations and don't preclude the addition of more branches or branching points, or even a complete split by retconning Skyward Sword and/or OoT.

 

I don't think Skyward Sword is a terrible place to start since it's still that prequel-style origin story, but release order is pretty valid too. Literally the only place I wouldn't start is with something like Majora's Mask, which benefits from the experience of playing its direct prior game first.

 

Apologies for the volume of words, I like the timeline stuff

Oh no, I meant to say that I still hadn't found it. But I have now 

 

 

[Magickarp]

Gonna try the duplication glitch cuz idw farm amor upgrade materials  I still haven't fought any Lynels despite being a maxed out Link  i'm gonna once i go back into TOTK, but i've been on a break for now. 

 

Glad i'm not the only one that found the Sky Plateau to be a downgrade from the Great Plateau. Tbh promoting the game with Sky Islands, & Vehicles was a choice. Not only did they barely matter in my playthrough, i'd even say they were the exact 2 new features i liked the least.

 

Underground/Caves >>>>>>> Sky

I am so obsessed with seeing old enemies come back and any/all references to other games. The absolute despair and dark atmosphere in all of those older locations. I know Majora’s Mask was a whole new location but the way it used assets and everything was so dark and ****** up. Something about a Zelda sequel being nothing but despair and gloom … inject it into my VEINS

 

I went straight for Gerudo Town and the entire desert area feels so eerie, even moreso than before

 

This is so honeymoon period of me but this really is going to go down as one of my favourite games of all time

80 hours in and I’ve finally cleared the 3rd dungeon. It feels too similar to the 1st one because of the lead up. This is the 2nd dungeon where I’ve enjoyed the lead up more than the dungeon itself 

 

The boss fight wasn’t as cinematic as the previous two but it was so fun  it’s the hardest for me so far. The new ability though… it feels very useless
