The Three C's In Random

Thoughts on Botw

[Luckily you if you haven't played it as this review of botw has no spoilers in it]

As the title says and since I had finished the game yesterday, this will be my thoughts on the legend of zelda: breath of the wild.

It. Was. Amazing.
I loved it so much.

I played it nonstop for almost a month (only didn't for two days because I had too much homework). I loved it. It was great.

Imma break this up into little sections and at the end, give my overall numbered score to the game. First up is...

Graphics

While I did see the trailer of it and all of that neat  jazz, the graphic, they were just absolutely jawdropping. Just look at it!

The world is so big, and I never minded having to travel across the vast landscape. It's so expansive, and the little details about it make it that feel even more alive.

Hell I had the wii u version, and I only experienced framerate drops like twice! Overall it super great and pretty.

I didn't have to, but I got every towers just  cause I wanted to, and just walking in the sunset felt really calming and enjoyable. (On a small sidenote, there, weren't even that many loading screens).

Gameplay

I admire the loz team for instead of sticking to the same format, they tired to do something different. It could of turned out badly but I think it was wonderful.

Unlike the more linear gameplay of the newer loz titles (skyward sword & ocarina of time, just to name a few) they went back to their roots.

They went with the more exploring, non-linear open world type of gameplay from the original loz. Does that mean I hate the linear, newer, stuff? Definitely not.

Wind waker is one of my favorites,
(can't say about ss, haven't played it)

While ocarina of time is my all time favorite, I just like they're trying to experiment. Perhaps in the next minestream loz game, they could do a combination of both?

Like the open world of botw but more of the dungeon style of like oot, ww, ss, and tp (also possibly even story style of the older games as well). Idk, just a thought.

Music

It's a loz game!
Almost every loz game has excellent music and botw is no exception.

And when you hear the guardian music... that's the song of true fear. Jokes aside, though.

I've hummed botw music today and I can't get it out of my head. I'm listening to it nonstop, it's too good.

Problems?

Sorry to tell you this but, no game is perfect and botw isn't either. Please don't hate me, it's only two, and they are not even that bad or big, relax.

First, the bosses, even ganon to an extent, weren't really memorable to me... at all. Were they terrible? No. They were just okay.

And, they game felt abit too short of me, it could be that I didn't beat all the sidequests but... only like four dungeons. Technically I wouldn't call them dungeons, the way they were structured felt kinda short to me, I guess.

You could call these nitpicky but it's just my opinion so butthurt fans, calm down.

Honestly, these are really minor problems, and I still think it's such an absolutely amazing game!

It may be one of my favorites if not my most favorite game now! Who knows? I'll have to think about it.

Overall it's a 9 or 9.5/10

But yo-

Yes, Ik. You think I probably have forgotten about the characters, but I haven't.
I will give my opinions on them and my favorites botw characters, in the next chapter (I don't have the fifth one decided, and I don't know which order they'll be).
