Comment on What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for?
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 6 months agoBreath of the Wild’s equivalent to dungeons were the beasts, not the shrines. The activities in the overworld were only the same in that they ended in a shrine, but the things you did to unlock them were generally very different. Half of them aren’t even visible at first. The people who thought that world was empty just didn’t find what was hidden in the negative space.

Breath of the Wild doesn’t have an equivalent to dungeons. There are only four divine beasts, and just like the shrines they are identical in appearance. They were just slightly more complex shrines with an animal theme. And the overworld doesn’t realistically have an awhile lot to find, by design. Since the game is entirely unstructured, you can’t put anything to find in the game, because you don’t know where the player will go and nothing to stop them from going anywhere. Thats why nothing amounts to anything more than a fractional stat boost or a temporary weapon. The outfits and the master sword are the only things worth actually finding in the game.

The divine beasts are not identical, though they are shorter than traditionally Zelda dungeons. The overworld has a ton to find; you just didn’t find it.

The divine beasts are in fact visually identical. As for the overworld, I found all of it. It’s just that “all of it” was for the most part just copied and pasted over and over with minor variation.
