....didn't work. i'm 3 divine beasts deep smashing it as much as possible so i can go back to the other games hahaha
Mister Carlton
Better than you.
Enjoying it a lot more. 1 Divine beast down and smashed through a bunch of shrines.
Still think the game suffers from a bland open world.

There are a few problems I have with this game, the overworld is definitely not one of them

Easily top it with a better story, more dungeons/temples, increase the difficulty of boss fights, and for *s sake let us continue the story after Ganon has been defeated instead of taking us back to the last save point

They're yet to top Ocarina of Time but it doesn't seem to be hurting them any.
Final sword trial is kicking my backside! I keep getting near the end but can’t keep hold of enough weapons to handle it all!

I ran out of arrows in the very last one which was nearly the end of me. Fortunately I somehow managed to get through

finished main game last weekend. it was good. probably a bit burnt out on open world games tbh & it was well over hyped - a lot of the things people were going crazy about didn't do much for me.
obviously a very well made game though & deservedly very popular it just didn't suit me at this point in time.

I don’t know if I’m playing wrong, but I got like 4 quests then have just spent my time unlocking the map and hitting any shrines I find. I expected more quests or am I missing something? Basically I have to find memories, best Ganon, divine beasts and there was one other I can’t remember without turning it on.

Yeh, that's right. You get the Ganon quest and the 4 divine beasts pretty early on. The others you find just by exploring. There's really only a handful of main quests.

Ahh I’m more used to games giving quests leading to other quests, explains why I’ve spent days just running around not knowing what to do so just trying to find shrines and gear.
Weapons breaking can kiss my ass too
fighting some big ass monster and my s**t shatters and I get one shorted.

The aimlessness is both the biggest strength and biggest weakness of the game. It at times feels incredibly shallow, yet also has a great sense of discovery and just makes exploring interesting in and of itself.
I would have preferred a little more structure, or at least more contextualised quests.

Would have also liked better rewards for completing quests
BOTW is beter in my opinion, but it all depends on personal preference.

Okay what do I do when Ganon is like glowing yellow / gold? I can’t defelect his cannon shots for s**t so what’s my best bet here
If OoT is a better game than BOTW, then I'm going to be mightily dissapointed with BOTW. OoT was obviously a phenomenal game back in the day, but the gameplay is very dated - if you play it today, it feels very simplistic and bare compared to modern games.
Having said that, I'm a bit skeptical about BOTW's open world gameplay. It looks like Fallout 4 with Link thrown into the picture.

Fallout and BOTW are nothing alike
My bad, Farcry 4 is what I meant to say...
Roflcopter, the maps are pretty much the same and the gameplay is very similar.

As the first anniversary of the Switch and BOTW is fast approaching, I'm throwing together a 'memories' page for my site. I am more than happy to put up anyone else's memories/experiences of both game and console, as a compilation. Either PM me, or drop them onto my little forum (link in sig). I'll give credit where credit is due for the memories.

I’d say it’s dated but not very dated. There’re many elements still currently employed in modern games such as lock-on targeting, first person aiming (bow, hook shot), a flexible inventory HUD with the c buttons, and more. It’s responsive and predictable. The dated part for me would be the physical pace of running Link. Modern games are a little faster in character movement within bigger worlds. Perhaps also missing a proper first person action option. I can’t think of much else.
I do think you’re exaggerating a little bit.
