Do You Still Love BotW? (lemmy.world)

A lot of people seem to feel that TotK is so much better than BotW, in so many ways, that playing BotW any more would feel almost pointless.

While I can understand that, TotK is truly amazing in almost every way, I find myself missing BotW.

I miss that desolate feeling, the Guardian induced anxiety, and the difficulty of a lot of BotW that I feel is missing from TotK.

BotW and TotK are the 2 sides of a single coin, neither complete without the other.

I'm already looking forward to another playthrough of both games! (only 68% so far on TotK still!)

Breath of the Wild was the better first-time experience. Discovering Hyrule and the intricate world they created was awe inspiring playing it on launch 6 years ago. With Tears of the Kingdom there wasn't as many surprises (apart from the first few hours in the depths). Having said that, I'm more likely to replay Tears of the Kingdom just because of how much more it gives the player to do and to work with. It's an evolution and improvement on BotW in almost every other way, from mechanics, to dungeons, to story.

Couldn't agree more, and I think that's why I'll always love BotW, even if TotK is the better game.
