Your criticism of the music confuses me. It is intentionally simple and subtle much of the time. The soft piano tracks that play in the overworld keep you in a calm state of mind while exploring the lonely landscape and also bring a sense of melancholy fitting for a ruined world. When you go into populated towns, more obvious music comes to the forefront and all of those tracks are bursting with the personality of their respective towns. Likewise, battles bring tracks ranging from upbeat (e.g. typical bokoblins) to very epic (e.g. Ganon). I believe the music is very well utilized considering how the music is used to facilitate the various themes of the game at different times. And must I mention the Hyrule Castle theme...?

I think most western are not family with this style of using subtle/no soundtrack. I will take Ghibli movies (which this game take inspiration from a lot) for example, in the original version, there are a lot of scene with no soundtrack, just sound of wind blowing through the grass/hill/etc., but when it was localized, Ghibli add some soundtrack on those scene because western are so used to hearing music all the time.

I strongly disagree with your point about the music. This game takes place after defeat, the whole feeling of the game is one that is lonely, sad and melancholic, and the subtle, broken piano notes mixed in with ambient sounds of a recovering world suit this absolutely perfectly. And then, once you enter towns and villages, you are greeted with tracks that are full of personality that reflects the origins and stories of their respective locations. I might also mention how absolutely fantastic the music is in Tarrey Town, Hyrule Castle and, my personal favourite, Rito Village. Not to mention the champions themes, the games opening score and ESPECIALLY the trailer theme which gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. In my opinion, the sound track for breath of the wild is an absolute masterpiece and an extremely intelligent utilisation of music theory within the setting.

Ocarina of time had that same event where ganon took over hyrule and cursed it, yet it still had the same lovable dynamic hyrule field theme you heard as a child. I also didn't hear melancholy or sadness in breath of the wild's theme, I heard music expressed with the subtitle of the game, the breath of the wild, the music of the game expressed that it wanted you to get a feel of the less artificial side of hyrule now with hylian civilization being brought to a primitive state. I can't say I like the soundtrack, though, especially the battle themes which consist of whacky primitive tribal instruments mixed in with modern ones.

Same, I get what people say about the story being in the past, but I still love it

Woah he actually cared and went over the story that’s a first!

I wish more people understood the purpose of the game having less music and having more subdued, softer tones. The new Hyrule is mostly in ruins. It's empty and barren. The devs wanted you to feel like link. Lost in a big world with no memories. A world overtaken by nature and evil. Fun/bombastic music plays when you're in towns, castle, or when fighting, etc. But for the most part, only the sound of nature or a soft melody on a piano is being played. The music choice or even the lack thereof is by design. It may not be to everyone's taste but you should at least know their reasoning. Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity has all the crazy and fun music because it fits the theme. Maybe even the next Zelda game will have more epic and louder music depending on the tone that devs are going for.

This is exactly how I felt about the game. When I first bought it and then played it, I really wasn't into it because I never grew up as a Zelda fan. When I tried it again a little later into the future, I believed that it was one of the greatest games I ever played and regret not getting it sooner. Thank you Nintendo!

Breath of the wild was the first Zelda game I've ever played. Now it's easily one of my favourite games of all time. There's so much to do, the art style is stunning, the combat and story is engaging but leaves room for you to play your own way, and the breaking tools mechanic keeps you on your toes. It's the first time a twist in a game has got me, when the old man is revealed as a ghost. And I just keep coming back to it, even if its just to ride around or explore for an hour or two. Also the way new mechanics are aren't babied to you, like shield surfing, I didn't know about it until I met the woman in the snowy mountains, and the sense of reward from that, and then finding the dragons I just though wow, I just didn't know they existed, and they look stunning. It's an easy top 3.

We literally got into Nintendo/Zelda the exact same way. I grew up with it, but hadn't really played anything of theirs since the 90's. Bought my Switch at the same time as you and BOTW was my primary influence. Playstation has been my primary console for years, and is what I use for everything that is cross-platform. I really only use my Xbox & Switch for exclusives. Anyways, BOTW is absolutely amazing. Dove in and was completely enthralled with the entire experience. It lived up to the hype, as expected. I've never really been into Zelda before BOTW, as it never really clicked for me,, and now I'm playing through Ocarina, Majora, and others. I can't wait for the rumored 35th Anniversary Collections to drop for Switch next year.

This is my second favorite game ever. I got it for Christmas 2020 and loved it when k staterted playing it. Even with beating on the last day of January, i was still obsessed with the game for another 3 months. This is an AMAZING game.

It’s a masterpiece of a soundtrack and just fitting for the type of game botw is

Your description of your experience discovering Zelda perfectly mirrors my own when I discovered Twilight Princess! Mind you I grew up on Nintendo, from the very start. I'm an O.G. 80's NES baby. Super Mario Brothers is lifeblood to me. But I could never get the appeal of Zelda games, even after I introduced my sons to the GameCube and they fell in love with Ocarina of Time. I bought Twilight Princess for them and decided to give it a try for myself. I was initially unimpressed but then something just snapped into place and I was hooked!

The real magic of this game is that it can be experienced on your own way and most things can be solved in several ways. You put the examples of the bridge of logs and the spikes and elixirs, I have never thought of that, and I have also saw people solve it in different ways, and it always amuse me how everyone comes from a different context on how to solve things even in the shrines and the game simply lets you do that. It constantly rewards your mind and your own cleverness.

(This comment contains botw spoilers) I disagree with you on the music part. I promise you the music is there, it just easy to miss. You said there are only ”piano tracks here and there” and that’s true but there’s so much more. In Link’s memories, boss battles (both mini bosses and blights, attack on the divine beasts, caves, dungeons (in the divine beasts) and so much more! It’s just easy to miss because it fits in so well within the world overall. The fact that there’s only a piano is playing in the hyrule field is to remind you how lonely you are, how hyrule nearly got destroyed a century ago and everyone you ever known tragically died (and you can barely remember them). My favorite track is the final boss battle against dark beast ganon. You should listen more closely when you play the game next time and you will hear it. I’m not hating, just sharing my thoughts. Great video btw, I agreed with everything else you said.

At least as far as the horses go, my impression is you can train them to be better behaved but can't actually improve their inherent stats short of putting the Sheikah saddle on them. But now that you mention it, being able to "level up" your horse through training would have been awesome and exactly what BotW's horse mechanic needed. Maybe it'd give a better reason for those frustrating horse riding minigames too.

I had this game for about 6 months now. Bought it with the Switch. I liked it initially, but not necessarily loved it. It’s been growing on me and I’ve coming back to it here and there (I still haven’t finished it). Recently, though, the game has been really clicking with me and I’m finally starting to really appreciate what it does. It’s now becoming one of my favorite open world games I’ve ever played.

I always go for the master sword before anything, it's the blade of evils bane, the doom of demise and the thing Ganon probably turns and twists at night thinking about it. I use other weapons but whenever dealing anything ganon related the master sword is coming out.

the best way of moving around is and always will be (for me) bouncing off of enemies with your shield, if you know how that trick works...that's an experience for sure, i swear it never gets old. do travelling by using things affected by momentum produced during stasis is really fun too

I love a subtle soundtrack. When games have constant music, even if its good music, the repetition gets on my nerves and I end up turning the music off eventually.

You make me feel so old. I played Ocarina of Time then Majora’s Mask, countless hours on the N64, from 8 to 12-13 years old. Those were real master pieces for the time. One of the first real open world. I stopped playing when I switch to XBox in 2001 or 2002, so I skipped the GameCube/Wii/DS phases of the game so I can’t tell for the other games, but the N64 ones left a deep impression on me and my friends. A generational defining game I would argue (literally everybody played it). Now I’m 32 years old and when I started playing BOTW, it all came back to me. You can really feel the inspiration of Ocarina of Time in the puzzles, the fighting, the exploration, the sense of freedom that comes from a non-linear story. If you ever find a N64 with Ocarina of Time, crack open a cold one and enjoy yourself. You’ll see that Zelda is like a fine wine. It’s a very good recipe that just keeps on getting better with age. It’s actually funny to see you discovering Zelda the way it is, like it’s a novelty, when in fact it has always been that way for thirty years. Open world, non linear story, lots of puzzles were always Zelda’s trademarks. Glad you enjoyed it!

I’ve been playing this at work (I’m a pool attendant so i have tons of time)and holy hell this game is amazing the atmosphere, the crafting ,hunting,cooking recipes ,combat,exploration etc i could go on and on but this is the best legend of zelda me period this game even topped ocarina of time for me but idk i love both but every zelda game was very linear twilight princess had a pretty good open world but breath of the wild blows that out of the water.this game (no pun intended)is a breath of fresh air.

I just picked it up myself. What a work if art

Only started to play recently. Had the game for ages but its also taken a while to grow on me. What a game!!!! Love it!

It’s my first Nintendo game I’ve ever gotten and it’s my favorite. I’m obsessed. Even the OST is one of the biggest things I strived for.

@@philatio1744 Yeah, I used to play on the wii with my friend when I was younger. We played mario cart and stuff like that lol. Also my dad had the older Nintendo consoles, so I played mario a lot.

small correction to the concept of divi e beasts: you don't really kill them, you go in there to free those divine beasts of the control of calamity ganon by killing the blights inside them and regaining their control. other than that thanks for the video, i really liked it

Love the videos

i dumped 400 hours in this game and i haven't even tried master mode yet...

Im not a gamer. Last game I played was Mario in the ninetees, but I randomly tried Breath of the Wild on a friends nintendo and now Im hooked.. I bought my own console and game a few weeks ago. Im amazed at how beautiful it is and how great a story it has and just the overall world and all the nooks and crannies you find all over.. all of a sudden you run into a beautiful dragon or a strange white spirit horse... its pure brilliance!

Robo i love your vids. Are you ever going to bring your gmod series back?

Hope not

Planning on a buying a switch lite soon... Since many people are unloading them online after the holidays... And it's really just to play this game... And hopefully BOTW 2 at a later date. I've heard so many good things about it that I'm pretty excited. The last game I really got into was Skyrim on PS 3... I loved that game, and I love open world games in general. Hoping this one lives up to the hype.

I agree with every point you made except the end (defeating Ganon). I found more satisfaction defeating each divine beast individually than I did defeating Ganon. You kill him, this form, that form, final form, and boom. He's dead. No one cares. Castle: still taken over, still there, still can beat him again for some reason? There is no mission completed, no box checked, just a "congrats you did it". I had never played a Zelda game in my life before I played this one but I had an absolute blast. I always describe it as Nintendo's Skyrim, just with better combat and more "Nintendo-y" everything else.

Awesome, love the game, very exited to listen to your opinion😀

I agree. I really wish I could experience it again for the first time.

With BoTW2, you can experience it 'again' for the first time.

@@whitepanther8472 Yep, long wait still. They probably port BotW2 to the Switch Pro console, like they did with the first BotW.

9:40 I remember that mechanic in windwaker, i love that they implemented in botw

i just got a nintendo switch to play this zelda, And i love it!!!!!. i played like all of the other 3d zeldas and this one i like 1 of the best.

Honestly, I didn’t get into riding the horses until near the end of the game because I, never realized that I could just follow the roads to get across the map. I had the obsession of climbing the mountains, you can’t get horses up the mountains. But it is absolutely worth learning to ride for the fact in certain parts you have to have control over an animal to complete tasks.

I played the game in 2017, but my Middleschool mind didn’t get as into it as I could’ve. I went back to about two weeks ago and I’ve not only gotten to the end of the story, but I’ve fallen in love with this immersive masterpiece!

Bro I lit the spikes on fire around that shrine lol, fire works too it spreads and destroys them all

I mainly use the fast travel to get from point A to point B or if I'm in a hurry.

I agree with everything except for what you think about the music. I always love to play BOTW whenever I'm stressed because of the peaceful atmosphere (most of the time) when playing the game. If the music was like what you wanted it to be, I think the game wouldn't be so calming to me.

Even though I like this game, I feel that it's really lacking a lot of what made the previous Zelda titles so good. I can see that they put in a lot of effort into making the open world feel as real as possible, but it seems to have come at a cost. My specific issue with the game is the lack of proper dungeons, and as much as many people want to, it cannot be overlooked. The game seems to get most other things right, though that's not to say there is no room for improvement. I enjoyed dressing up as a 'vai' to get into the Gerudo settlement, for example, as well as sneaking into the Yiga hideout; those were both very reminiscent of the kind of stuff you would do in old school Zelda quest's in between dungeons, and this game carried the tradition perfectly. I literally can't get over how empty the game feels without the dungeons though, which used to be the main focal points of any Zelda game. The Legendary Beasts or whatever are no substitute for it and neither are the shrines. I personally really dislike them seeing as they all look the same and are very repetitive. It's like you are continuously being torn out of playing Zelda in order to solve some puzzles that are better acclimated for a Portal game. I guess it's not the fact that they are there which annoys me the most, but rather what they are supposed to be replacing. There are still many places in this new Hyrule that feel like a proper Zelda game such as Hyrule Castle and climbing up Death Mountain, but a lot of Hyrule feels empty as well... kind of like a randomly generated minecraft map, you can really tell which areas got attention from humans and which were just pieced together later with the help of AI. At least I can. That being said, I am still hopeful that the next Zelda titles will manage to incorporate both the open-world features of this game as well as manage to fill out the world more properly like they did back in the old days. I get that the old maps were much smaller and it was easier to do so, but they really have to try harder in this regard. I also get that the whole concept of this game is that Hyrule is almost in a sort of post-apocalyptic state but it makes me wonder... did they choose to go with this storyline because it's really the easiest way to make the vast emptiness of much of Hyrule make sense? It would definitely be a lot more difficult if they had to fill it out properly with a lot of dynamic characters like they did in the past. I also hope that they adjust the way weapons work in the game... the current system can be applied to basic weapons but certain things should still be discoverable via the old way. I remember how awesome it felt to get fire, ice or light arrows for the first time in Ocarina, and that feeling just isn't replicated in BOTW where every item is treated the same way it would be in any other RPG. Bring back the dungeons and bring back the focus on unique items, don't try turning Zelda into World of Warcraft or Red Dead Redemption.

I bought a switch oled( The TOTK edition) back in June and of course got BOTW. It took me about 15 hours of playing to realise why it’s such a brilliant gem of a game. I realised that the game was very different from the games I was used to and thus, stood out. It has the dynamic gameplay action moments, an incredible story, great combat and breathtaking exploration. It’s a masterpiece!⚡️ For me, it’s one of my most favourite games of all time, right up there with GOW Ragnarok and Spider-Man(2018). I got a switch mainly for the Legend of Zelda games.

The music is awesome and made to enhance the gameplay experience in conjunction with the other sfx rather than just making a great score. Sometimes there's no music at all to enhance the feel of solitude. But I kinda understand why some people don't like it.

5:56 Actually, there is a mountain next to the shrine which can be used to reach the shrine. That is how I did it. I sold the Elixer afterward.

I just got it because it was on sale and I’m waiting for it to download right now. Can’t wait.

Really good aesthetics and world. It's like someone took the manual of the original NES Zelda and made it into a game! But the lack of proper dungeons and a more fleshed out story hindered the experience for me personally. I found that beating it was... kind of a hollow sensation. But i still kept playing it lol, doing more side quest stuff and exploring. I hope with the sequel they do more with the world, fill it out more now that the calamity is over, add more villages, things to see and do etc... add in proper dungeons and story and WHAMO. Best game ever.

5:55 I just kept running till I went flying over😂

6:41 partying like in the 90's!

I thought the act man uploaded for a second because of the title

This game saved my life. Frist play through stealth. Works crazy well. Catch bugs avoid fights. Easy. Second time. Ganon castle, get that shield. Kill a guardian on your way. Visit the 3 labyrinths get that armor and kick ass. To finish put a simple game mechanic in the world. Well programmed but a limited amount of types of enemies. Put a skeleton version between them and add a lyonel. Do not get me starten on the dungeons. Yes I liked the SNES version. But wtf good work!

I bought a Switch on release day along with a pro controller and Breath of the Wild. It is still the ONLY game I own and play nearly every day. Very close to maxing out inventory at 999 on nearly all items except dragon parts. This is the Zelda game I always wanted. Cannot wait for 2.

One of the most satisfying and funny things is to throw a boomerang and see an AI enemy, sometimes, just catch it mid-air like it's nothing! Those are the small things that reveal the level of polish and dedication put behind this game, that helps it to set itself apart from many other supposed AAA experiences.

Wish I could replay it for the first time with no memory of it. This game got me through so much crap

Me casually noticing Hestu at 6:20 at the left while link’s riding the horse😭☝️

I’ve been playing BOTW and recently went down to lake Hylia. BEST EXPERIENCE IN MY GAMING!!

0:41 exactly what happened to me edit: I came back a year later in 2018 the only game I played I was obsessed wi5h the songs music happiness and awesomeness lol

That was the last single player game I really enjoyed, you can´t imagine how much I’m waiting for the sequel. It was such a great experience, by far my favorite game ever.

The reason the horses are so good is because they had one guy spend the entire development working on horses (and the other animals). His work really paid off! I personally really love the soundtrack. It’s probably my favorite Zelda soundtrack to this day. I think the subtle notes just make it all the more immersive. And the fact that certain areas such as towns have distinct themes sets them apart from the vast broken world you explore. There are also a ton of musical Easter eggs hidden in the soundtrack as well such as the song of time and Zelda’s lullaby. But hey this is just my opinion, and I can respect that other people didn’t like the subtle nature of Botw’s music.

4:40 It doesn't hold your hand because it's so easy. I finished the first area and then went to the desert area adjacent and discovered that each area has maybe two or three different enemy types. It feels like each area is a reskin with another group of enemies plunked in...
