Anyone else get the feeling that BotW could be a radical reimagining of the original?

I mean they even included rafts lol

I played 2, but not the original.

Whoa

But its been foreveeeer.

haven't played BotW but i know everyone gets on their knees for it

Hah

I played a bit of BotW.

And then had to give back a buds Switch back.

Lol

I was skeptical but it kept the spirit the series pretty well

I have it on Wii U. Don't own a Switch

yeah i got a PS4 instead of a switch

I just don't game anymore unless I'm playing Smash at a friend's house

Last time I played A Link to the Past I realized that the last dungeon, the pyramid, is blatant bullshit.

Yeah, so I've played Adventure of Link, LttP, Links Awakening (?), OoT, MM, WW, some of Twilight, and some of BotW.

I miss couch gaming.

I have all these games on Steam.

But never care enough to play.

You can wander in that place for a long ass time not knowing where to go, but then when you find the proper path it feels like there are very few rooms that you actually have to go through.

That seems like sort of a recurring theme lol

I've played (not in this order) LttP (some), OoT, MM, WW, TP, Seasons, Ages, MC, 4Swords, ST, PH

Sense of adventure!

To be honest, I did have that experience with all the adult dungeons on OoT too. I think I had to use a guide for all of them.

Oh yeah I've never played through 4Swords Adventures because I haven't had people to play with

Same.

😢

One day I'll play through it with my kids lol

you have kids?

No

One day

Haha

I want kids.

oh so theoretical children

Fwiw, BotW is crippled by lack of dungeons. There's some good mechanics but not much to do other than fuck around and collect shit

So, it's *too* open world?

The options you're given also do a lot to potentially negate sections of the final dungeon

How so?

Sort of. It's like they split the dungeons into a hundred or so puzzles, but not all that many of them are interesting, and then the divine beasts are just very short spatial puzzles

I thought the Divine Beasts were an elegant solution to that. I always felt like a quality Zelda dungeon should feel like solving a giant Rubik's cube from the inside out, and BotW took that to a whole new level.
I know what you mean though
