HAND IT OVER OLD MAN!

I’m one of the few people who thinks that Breath of the Wild is a better game than Tears of the Kingdom. It really boils down to one thing: Exploration. In Tears of the Kingdom, exploration is all about the cool stuff you can find. Tears is so full of stuff that there’s pretty much always something right in front of you to do. Breath of the Wild has a packed over world as well but by comparison, it’s honestly kinda empty. But that’s a good thing. Botw puts a lot more emphasis on the journey than Tears. In Botw I took my time getting places, and would just take a stroll through the fields and forests of Hyrule. In Tears I’m always sprinting or more accurately driving some sort of contraption towards the next spot on my map. I’d still stop and do every cave I saw, every korok I noticed, and every shrine that I came across, but it’s just not the same. It’s no coincidence that my favorite song is Field-Day from Breath of the Wild. Just hearing that song makes me tear up a bit thinking about all the time I spent running through Central Hyrule collecting korok seeds and just taking a walk to observe the wildlife. I know that not everyone is going to find that enjoyable, and so I completely understand if they prefer Tears of the Kingdom, but I’ll always prefer Breath of the Wild.

i think i could definitely return to botw for a "nostalgia" playthrough but it definitly wont be as long as the first time i played. i probably wouldn't explore it like i did and just head straight to the divine beasts.

Tears of the kingdom and Breath of the Wild feel so different to play. I can't get into tears the same I did breath
