Why are people suddenly treating this game like a gem and top tier entry in the franchise? Is it because everyone who hated it moved on to shit on TotK leaving only the people that loved it left?
>>726057882I just don't know how did they get a pass on its low enemy variety, thousands of copy pasted camps, fetch quests and extremely shallow story & characters!
>>726057882>being this fucking newyou have to go back
>>726058427Been here since 2013 anon. And no, I'm not the Eric Boogeyman. I want to know why BotW is suddenly loved so much all of the sudden despite being called "not Zelda" all over the place the years following it's release..to now it not being uncommon to hear "BotW is a masterpiece and TotK is the worse Zelda ever!"
The only thing i like about it is it does two things I wish Morrowind did. First, your character transitions to climbing animations when going up steep inclines. Second, the alchemy system is not intensely difficult and they give you tips right there on what ingredients work with each other. Other than that Zelda has been garbage ever since they stuck with cell shading.
>>726057993That's every open world game. This one is better because it's Zelda.
>>726058796Easy answer, botw isn't loved all of a sudden, it was always loved
>>726057882Both games are kino

>>726057993Welcome to the Zelda franchise.
>SuddenlyNormalfags were praising it from day one.>>726058928No, this one is worse because it has the "zelda" name slapped on it.
>>726057882>I've been living under a rock, why is [wildly popular game day 1] popular all of the sudden?
>>726057882>suddenlyNigga what?
>>726059501This should be given to every "huge zelda fan" who finally plays anything that isn't ubislop posing as zelda.
What exactly makes BotW a better game than TotK, when the latter does many things better like the bosses, lead ups to dungeons, usefulness of items, the dungeons themselves (as minuscule of an improvement as they are), music original to it, and the finale.
BOTW is already in the nostalgic "back in the day when zelda games were masterpieces" category of games so all the zoomers who grew up with it are revising history now. It's older than Skyward Sword was when BOTW released.
>It's boring.>Use of the Zelda Mythos sucks ass>Zonai are ugly as sin>VAs are annoying, and I'm not an Anti-dub fag>Puzzles are little key jinglers and nothing more; I know the solution seconds into starting the puzzle. >Every reward for progressing after you get all the runes are pointless, ie literal shit that could have been used for upgrading RPG-Esque mechanics, but used for gag instead.>Reused everything.>Every area feels like a lead up to something greater that never comes.>No fun side quests besides maybe that LA island.I don't hate many games but Botk are both insufferable and have forever ruined the series due to their success.HOWEVER.>Runes can be quite fun.>Movement can be fun, if bogged down by other flaws.>Ragdolls are fun.>Fusing materials / Weapon fusing can be silly and fun.>Guardians are cool>Divine Beasts are cool in conceptBut these don't matter if the game is boring and has no long term progression outside of leveling up shitty health and stamina to be tolerable or better.SS is still worse, but at least that game resembles the old series more.
>>726057882>suddenlyIt was globally loved since day 1, and it's still the greatest video game made after Ocarina Of Time + Majora's Mask.
