BOTW is more cohesive.

@raelanimates8829 3 күн бұрын

Precisely. That's the main reason why I still hold BOTW in a higher regard than TOTK.

Enemy variety is technically better in TotK. However, this comes with fine print. First off, the amount of new enemies added is not that big and the improvement is kinda negligible. But the real problem is that due to the whole monster material fusion mechanic, the player is much more pushed towards combat with the enemies, and this makes the lack of enemy variety actually EVEN MORE NOTICEABLE in TotK than it already was in BotW despite it having been improved. Also, as a tangent, in my opinion the heavier focus on combat has also made the weapon durability system even more of a pain in the ass than it already was in BotW. Players avoiding combat to conserve durability in BotW was indeed a symptom of problematic game design, but they did this not because combat was hard or boring, but because weapon durability was obnoxious. This still hasn't changed, the problem is still there, if anything they've made it harder to ignore.

@zekrom34 Күн бұрын

Completely disagree. 1) TOTK has an insanely high combat variety then BOTW, so you can always make your own fun 2) Fuse progressively removes the problem of weapon durability because stronger (and rich) you become, easier you will replace weapons.

@@zekrom34 I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree then. It's cool if you find the changes in TotK satisfying to you. I wish they were for me, so in a way I envy you. I could also have gone into the problems with the actual combat system of BotW/TotK as well and how that too despite being pretty much the same is felt more in TotK because of the heavier focus on it, but I was only referring to the issue of enemy variety in my post. Also, the weapon durability system has A TON of problems, not just the issue of having to replace the weapons (which is not that big of a deal in either game IMO). Chief amongst them being that it was put in place in order to turn finding new weapons into a reward for exploration, yet what it actually does is making it so finding those weapons feels underwhelming and mundane, so the system kinda self-sabotages its own purpose. Then again this in particular is one of the issues I DON'T think was made worse in TotK, as it's pretty much equivalent. It's just disappointing that they ignored it. The stone octoroks were nice though, I'll give TotK that.

Botw was exciting because you had an introduction to characters and places you never seen, different combat mechanics so it felt so fresh. In Totk it just felt recycled. The champions and their abilities were so much better too

The Shrines in TotK have some deeper lore. You can do the Anchient Stone Tablets Quest and in one of these stands after you translated it that the shrines were once prisons for Demons that Rauru and Sonia defeated and captured to prevent them from resurecting

@UltimateVideos12376 4 күн бұрын

I agree on the most part but imo the combat in totk is MUCH better. Instead of avoiding combat to save durability you want to fight in totk for new horns to fuse onto you weapons. Also a lot more life has been breathed into the enemies with new attacks

@gamingdudedonal3312 Күн бұрын

The bow fusion is genuinely painful to use

@Chris-gx1ei 3 күн бұрын

The Monsters in Tears of the Kingdom use their new horns as weapons, no shit, they sprint towards you or swing their heads around to attack you with their blade-horns, which they never did before because there they just had regular horns that are worthless even to them. And heck, they even came up with completely new ones like the Horrorblins or the Bossblins which only appeared in Hyrule Warriors before, or even brought classic ones back like the Like-Like or the Gibdos.

It makes it hard for me to enjoy either now. I miss the caves and Ascend in BotW, and I miss... this video basically, in TotK.

I think the techno theme in botw was better (green is my favorite color but the ancient shekia stuff looks way better) and the way they did the companion abilities is so much better in botw, each being mapped to a button rather than having to walk up to them then press a which could lead to accidentally using it (as I have done repeatedly)

@thatguyinthevoid 2 күн бұрын

Honestly, I think my decision to play TotK before BotW was a good decision (I had seen so many gameplay videos and more stuff so I knew the plot) because it allowed me to see TotK from a fresh perspective without BotW bias. Some may hate me for that, but that’s just how I feel. Plus, the abilities are better in TotK in my opinion 😂

Ultrahand and fusion are amazing features and add a lot to the gameplay, but the world itself does feel less developed than botw. I have to disagree about the bombs, though. They might’ve been infinite in botw, but they were also pretty much useless except for destroying black rocks. Also, I can’t tell you how many times throughout my play through of both games I thought “Damn, I wish I had a hookshot.”

That's a big hard no from me. The only shrines tears did better was not having the motion control ones, but I personally don't hate those, even if I acknowledge those are weak. But Tears has more shrines, with a larger percentage of them being empty blessing shrines, and too many are out in the open, or require escorting a crystal. There's also way more unskippable text for any tutorial shrine. And you already have to go through 5 loading screens during a shrine in each game.

Just found this channel today and I gotta say I’m really enjoying it. I gotta agree with most of the stuff that you said, for me I think the reason why botw was breath taking (pun intended) was because it was new and intriguing. Totk has a lot of things to do, but it’s overfilled with content. I think that’s the main reason why a lot of people like botw more than totk, botw was more compact. But I love both games and I hope Nintendo does more like these games in the future, but hopefully it isn’t just another botw.

@zekrom34 Күн бұрын

Look, I can agree on everything about quality, but many of these points are... dumb or very superficial. For example nobody can deny that BOTW's introduction is more iconic than TOTK, but Great Sky Island level design is something beyond human comprehension, a full tridimensional space that manage to teach maybe three times the stuff we learned in the Great Plateau. And it remains incredibly useful even after because it's a great spot to take off with planes. BOTW's Shrines compared with TOTK's Shrines are just a bunch of disconnected stuff. I always defended shrines, but BOTW Shrines seems blatantly belong to a different game because what you do inside them is completely different from the overworld's activities. TOTK blessing shrines have better (FAR BETTER) sections, the proving grounds destroy the tests of strenght, and the ordinary shrines teach you how to use effectively the zonai devices and build many things. TOTK's abilities are by far the best set of power ever seen in a Zelda game, with nothing remotely capable of standing a chance: Ultrahand is inarguably the best main gimmick of the series, a technological marvel and one of the best game mechanics of the last 20 years at least; Fuse fixes the breakable weapon problem, adds a massive combat variety to an already rich component, makes everything useful and adds a great combat progression; Ascend change the traversal, and a mastered recall ability it's like the perfect speedrun ability.

There are 86 enemies in BotW (including the DLC). TotK has 110. Conclusion? TotK has a much better enemy variety. Even bosses are more exciting. In the first game you fight blight ganons 4 times, which are relatively similar. The sequel does not have that problem.
