![]() In BOTW you get all abilities in the first hour (except the champion's abilities, which are mostly combat related, except Revali's), so the 5th, 5th and 500th hour of the game will feel fundamentally the same. Sure, you don't have as much freedom as the open air games, but I'm of the opinion that too much freedom can be a bad thing as well. This gives the player a constant feeling of progress. You go through the dungeons, find items (or in caves in the case of TLOZ or ALTTP), which let you unlock shortcuts, secret areas, or the next section. Many of the older entries feature an almost metroidvania-lite design ethos as far as the overworld is concerned. The older games are more traditional in that regard. BOTW/TOTK have opted for rather minimal storytelling via plot (especially the former), while having some cutscenes that you can find out of order fleshing out the story. TLOZ as a franchise isn't really known for having mind-blowing or amazing story telling, but what there is mostly serviceable. Having said that, I can tell you why I prefer the other Zeldas. There is a subset of the fandom that prefers the older Zelda games, but given how successful BOTW and TOTK have been and how popular these games are, the fans of the older style (me included) are just a loud minority. If they remade that in the BoTW engine with some QoL tweaks I'd be there day 1. I just played what was in front of me and I didn't think it was that good even though it does a lot of things I liked with it's story and world. It has nothing to do with what I wanted the game to be, or me siding with one type of Zelda game. I never thought it was better than Ocarina like many will say, and for all the things it did better or different, there's a slew of things it did far worse than any of the other games. I had fonder memories of it and don't think it's a bad game. ![]() I was surprised at how much I disliked it from a gameplay standpoint. ![]() I listed all that I think MM did well but when I went back to play all the Zeldas I own before ToTK. If you read the posts about someone who disliked a Zelda you'll hear only the bad. Like if you read posts about people gushing about their favorite Zeldas you'll only hear all the good things. Click to shrink.I mean it's a conversation I'm always able to have but the problem is people rarely look at both the good and bad in stuff they like.
