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!)

I also feel like TotK is easier than BotW, only in the early game was I cautious of some enemies; in BotW I was almost always wary of facing guardians. But I also enjoy that the map doesn't feel as "empty" in TotK and I can just explore more relaxed.

There are some QoL improvements in TotK that I think I would struggle not having if I went back to BotW, like being able yo use the Purah Pad while gliding.

I did enjoy the story telling of BotW more, it felt more emotional to me.
