Especially considering how you're basically set for weapons for the rest of the game once you take down a dozen or so silvers. I really like how TotK used fuse to tie high quality weapons to beating stronger enemies, and was a huge step up from destroying a royal broadsword just to get another one... but silver horns combined with weapon abilities like Gerudo or Zora really lets you fuse completely broken (100+ damage) weapons that the game really wasn't designed for. Legit, fuse a silver boko horn to a Zora weapon, and if you can consistently maintain the 'wet' status, you have a weapon able to take down another 6 silver bokos and make another 6 swords. Repeat once or twice and your arsenal is set for the rest of the game. At least in BotW they had it where if you wanted to maintain an inventory of high quality weapons, you had to CONSTANTLY fight high tier enemies to make out net-neutral, or you actually had to experiment and get creative with combat (such as using the environment for fall damage or drowing enemies) to get more mileage out of your weapons.

Honestly, the overall feeling of the story of BotW was better than TotK to me. I can't really explain it properly, but in BotW it felt like Link was truly a part of the world, and you were uncovering bits and bobs along side him. When you met the Champions again, you had an instant connection, and a bittersweet moment after the Divine Beasts. The memories also worked better because they directly involved Link. In TotK, it's almost like we're in different dimension. Plenty of NPC's don't recognize Link from things we could have done in BotW (Bolson for example), and we're following a story (Zelda's) that's not ours. We have 0 connection to the ancient Sages, and while it's fun to have the Sages with you they're a bit bland. So for as vast as the world in TotK is, it feels "emptier" emotionally.

@GamingReinvented

NPCs not recognising Link was definitely a mistake in TotK. Like, some do, but they didn't go far enough there, especially with obvious ones like Beedle, Hestu, Bolson, etc. And that's a fair point about the emotional aspect. We don't really know anything about the sages, so Link really doesn't have much in common with them to be invested in. There's not much to go off when Link only has a personal connection to Zelda and Rauru.

They could have kept elemental arrows on the fuse menu, with an up-down scrolling list to choose exactly what you wanted to use to MAKE that arrow, for example. The only one I really hate is the Sage Powers. They work well enough outside of combat when using them to mine ores, keep cool in the desert, or glide, but they're a pain to use in combat. They could have all been a simple button press based on context such as "push button while building a charge attack to activate Yunobo, same button while blocking for Sidon, while aiming for Riju, etc. Maybe give them a longer cool down when activated that way if it's too spammable.

Now in totk its a sword that can fuse like all others, yeah sure it has more damage potential (30 base damage + 55 lynel horn) but it lacks the durability and uniqueness it had in botw. So it feels less useful because you have to waste a ressource for a lot of damage for the master sword, and the blade loses its iconic look upon fusing and its not as durable as it once was, in a way when using the master sword in totk i don't feel like a true hero like in botw anymore.

Yeah, the durability upgrade would be nice. And given the Master Sword actually does upgrade around Gloom enemies and during the final battle, they could have easily added a Trial of the Sword equivalent to provide that effect permanently.

Tha faeries. And with that, upgrading your inventory. That worked flawlessly in BotW, but in Tears it's just a nuisance, almost impossible to fully upgrade any set. However my biggest gripe with TotK is the removal of Kass, I loved hearing the accordion in the distance, and also really enjoyed his shrine quests. Tears has the stable trotters(for musicians) and Penn(for quests), both fail miserably to replace Kass. I hoped they had removed him so he could come back in a DLC. So you can imagine how angry/sad I was when they announced there wasn't going to be one. The absolute absence of sheika tech is a major downgrade, yes the ancient horse set is missing but SO IS THE MASTER CYCLE, and this is a vehicle that cannot be mimicked in speed and agility with constructs!

Oh I miss Kass for sure. Penn is great and I did like the Stable Trotters, but Kass was such a cool character in BoTW, and it's so weird seeing him completely absent here. Fairy wise I'm honestly kinda mixed about. Personally I think both games kinda messed up there, since the upgrade process is boring as hell. Oh neat, you get a cutscene for each upgrade level. But it's for each level per armour piece, and with like a hundred of them... yeah, it gets old fast in both BoTW and TotK. Fairy fountain quests are something I think TotK did better at first, and BoTW probably did better later on. First time you play, they're neat. Third, fourth or fifth time? You probably just wish you could spend money to do it.

I would honestly pay any price just to play BotW for the first time again. The beauty, challenge, and exploration was perfect. BotW also introduced me to the series, and I've spend years and countless hours playing games from the series. TotK didn't feel like that at all, it always felt kind of boring to me.

Yeah pretty much. Same with the ones near Rito Village and Zora's Domain

when i did the first sage i was very dissapointed of it, because first of all: i dont want someone always near me that i can only activate by pressing A second: everytime i do puzzels in the free world (no city etc.) or want to interact with anything they always get right INTO me for some wierd reason so i always accedentily activate them third: at least 2 of them are useless and i only have them activated for battle, like for what should i use the water ability or the thunder. the thunder is just slow and i didn't even use it that much while doing the quest to get that sage and the water i never see an opportunity where it makes sense to use it. The goron one is useful when you have to bomb something but dont have the bomb flowers or on vehicles to use it as a canon and the orni is the best, because you save alot of time flying and get further without using much stamina But i really miss the old orni one to get high up, it made travelling so easy and getting up

Yeah I spent a good time thinking "wait they eliminated the glider here?"

@@Grimm196 Revali's Gale is useful BECAUSE stuff like rocet shields and fans do it but better. A lot of people fail to realize how much of a game changer the champion's abilities were, and that's one of the core reasons why the sages would suck even if they could be activated properly. Being able to ascend quickly was something you couldn't do in BotW UNTIL you got Revali's gale. the same cannot be said for any other ability except for tulin while gliding, because there wasn't an easy way to move horizontally in TotK until you got tulin. And even that becomes obsolete a lot of the time because of hoverbikes and other flying machines.

These are all great criticisms, but I’m surprised that you didn’t mention how TOTK removed the ability to see true HP numbers. There were a total of five pieces of armor which gave you that ability in BOTW, and since we now have all of those plus the new Champion’s Leathers, that would in theory make it a total of six armor pieces which should let you visualize HP, yet none of them (nor any other armor pieces) work. Looking through other videos, it seems like damage multipliers aren’t as straightforward this time around as they were in BOTW, but I don’t think that’s enough justification for having removed that ability altogether. Also, no Master Mode (or at least golden enemies in the base game) or Trial of the Sword. The reason why the Master Sword feels so weak in this game is that there aren’t enough situations where it gets powered up, so this kind of stems from the fact that Gloom Spawn aren’t as common as Guardians, as you said in the video. The fact that there won’t be DLC for this game to add these things (unless they’re playing 4D Chess with us) really makes me sad since Master Mode is where I spent most of my time in BOTW and also gave me a second save file on my main account. As it stands right now, I don’t feel like deleting my day 1 save file to start over (as much as I would like to), nor do I want to do it on a secondary account. I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t add these things for TOTK since they felt essential in BOTW the moment we got them.

Honestly, I would have included the HP number point, but kinda forgot. It is ridiculous it's not present though. I also left out things I thought DLC would patch in later, or that would likely have been huge selling points for that DLC like the Trial of the Sword or Master Mode. I just had a level of (misplaced) hope that we were getting DLC at some point. But now we're not... yeah, I should have included them. Or heck, added 'DLC' to the list in general seeing how incomplete TotK sorta feels without it.

Having to ascend in Zora's domain felt like a snub after everything Link had done for them so far. Those elemental weapon buffs were fun lessons to learn.

Master mode not being in the game was honestly quite a fumble on their behalf. Master mode would have been beautiful for this game. After all the hardest things in the game are the 15 proving grounds shrines that house only constructs.I would also love to see what a golden lynel saber horn would look like. Or a golden lizalfos horn. Truly a missed opportunity

honestly they had made the most used section a custom bar instead I think it would of helped alot. granted my most used had apples front and center since I chucked them at anything I wanted to interact with and I probably wouldn't of put that on a custom bar...

I agree with everything you just said, but i think you've missed 1 more point (you could have replaced this with the ancient hore armor), and the fact is that Breath of the Wild has more replayability. BOTW is a smaller game, and you can do various challenges when you decide to hit the new game button, such as: 1, all quest play 2, permadeth play 3, no champion abilites play 4, master mode (I've just started my 1st one, because i bought the 2 DLCs in a bundle after 6 years XD). In TOTK after I completed all 60 side adventures, 139 side quests and all the shrines I don't have the willpower to press the new game button. I beat it once and left it there. However I would gladly start a new game in BOTW a few month later as well.

This is a personal one, just a thought I'd like to share. I absolutely LOVED the atmosphere of BOTW than TOTK. The story telling was beautiful and intricate, there is literally nothing that I can find in BOTW that annoys me! While TOTK could be done better in some areas. I will not lie, I was disappointed at TOTK for... I dunno! It had a different atmosphere that was nice, you were not alone like in the last game, you had friends. But it just seems so... weird? But both games are amazing. I feel like TOTK won in the terms of the way it ended and BOTW won it the terms of the experience. There was so much mystery and lore in BOTW, I thought that there could've been some lore for the depths and Zonai as well. I wanted to learn about these ancient people, and understand what the depths were. There could've been another race that lived in the depths too, interacting with the Zonai that came for the Zonaite down there! But both games are amazing, I just wish TOTK was a bit more polished and had more lore.

@GamingReinvented

Your point about not seeing more of the Zonai and their lore is a very good one. It's disappointing how in a game meant to make them prominent, we only see get to see two Zonai in the entire title, one of which is dead by the main story and one which survives as a ghost inside a mech. I would have imagined we'd encounter at least a few more, right? And it's definitely weird that the Sky and Depths have literally no towns or NPCs in, barring the Yiga, a few Constructs and a few Zonai Survey Team members that only appear during one quest.

@@GamingReinvented Yes! I don't exactly know why but Nintendo didn't really do much with the lore. It felt like they wanted to upgrade the mechanics more. I read some other comments and they mentioned how emotionless this game is, along with the fact that nobody remembers you! I was ready to hear people talk to me as the Hero of Hyrule. Back in BOTW, nobody knew that or our connection with the princess, not even many of the prominent characters. I feel like only the Zora knew who we were. It was frustrating honestly. And its even more frustrating seeing no one acknowledging our status, even the Sages! Nothing was mentioned about what happened in the time gap between BOTW and TOTK. Another frustrating thing is how fast the Sheikah tech just vanished, like not a single trace except the Hateno Research Lab. I would've liked to hear about how they brought it to Purah to recycle it or even some mention about it! It was a big thing that vanished without much talk about it, we were left to connect to pieces. I feel disappointed at TOTK for this, but it still is a great game no matter what. I guess the fun mechanics make up for it? My feelings are very mixed and biased, even more so because BOTW was my first Zelda game.

Another one: Botw was great cuz everything was new. Totk is botw with another story that doesnt even work out!
