The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

yeah if you dont like finding out whats on top of the mountain then it might not be for you, the new one might have more reasons to do things tho, well find out soon

As I've said before my biggest concern with the new game is that it seems to deemphasize climbing

yeah my concern was that the new fuse ability looks like a push further into making physics sandbox goofing around the main attraction, i dont think i want to have to be building contraptions constantly to explore the map

reviews are out with a 96 on metacritic, looks like Aonuma has done it again

Pure Magic

I recently just started this. Only given it about an hour's play so far, so really not far in

This sez YES TOTK for people like me: https://www.gamegrin.com/articles/should-you-play-tears-of-the-kingdom-if-you-hated-breath-of-the-wild/

so what strategy did you all follow after finishing the tutorial stuff? follow the storyline? explore a concentrated area? head off into the distance?

there is a thread for the game fyi The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

my bad - i've been following that thread but just clicked on this one by accident bc it was higher up

i will say that i went back to BOTW a bit in anticipation of TOTK and i somehow have 32 shrines i still haven't found??? i've been like everywhere on the map, i do not understand how that many could still be hiding from me

have you done all the side quests a lot of those make a shrine pop out of the ground when you solve them like the riddle type ones

also some behind bombable walls etc that are hard to find unless you put the radar thing on
