Comment on Day 664 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

This was my first Zelda game. I didn’t read any reviews, I just played it. Afterwards I learned that not everybody loves it, but I do. Being the first, I guess it will always be the best Zelda game to me. I… don’t like BotW. I spent a few dozen hours in it over the past few years and have not finished it. I prefer the traditional structure of Zelda games.

I agree about BOTW and TOTK. I think they could of been great games without being Zelda, but to me, Zelda should always follow the same pattern and flow that I’m used to. I can understand the praise they get, but again it just doesn’t feel like Zelda to me

  Yeah they are good games, just really bad zelda games.

I lived TP, also my first Zelda game. I also loved BotW. What freedome to explore and roam and discover! ✨🙌

It’s funny since when it came out it had rave reviews. GameStop (when it was still good) got flamed for giving it a mere 8.7 / 10.

Skyward sword was even more critically received and that’s the one everyone says is the worst.

I personally have a soft spot for TP even though the 3-5 hour intro sucks.

I really want to learn to love it, at the very least though I can respect it and what it does. So if I get through it and still don’t like it I’ll settle for that.

As for BoTW, I’m with you. On its own I like it, but compared to traditional Zelda games I think I prefer the OG stuff far more. There’s just too much to do and it feels a bit too open if that makes sense

  My main issue with BotW is that there are no dungeons. Shrines are just small random puzzle games. Doing a dungeon in Zelda is part of the quest, doing shrines is doing puzzles for the sake of it to get points (Orbs) to advance your character with some numbers and bars. Only the Divine Beasts resemble traditional Zelda dungeons to some extent.

    That too. I can’t believe i forgot about that. The divine beasts just felt off for some reason. And it doesn’t help they all felt kind of the same with an aesthetic. And I loathed the shrines. It felt tedious compared to something like the smaller world puzzles for a heart piece
