    BotW and TotK are such weird games to me

    They built these big beautiful worlds, and designed some really cool mechanics

    And just kind of did nothing with them.

    TotK was a bit better, but still fell pretty short.

    Also it’s so weird that TotK is clearly a direct sequel to BotW, but there’s almost no actual continuity between the games. There’s a handful of characters that are missing without much of an explanation, and other characters from the previous game act as if you’ve never met them before. I get that for gameplay reasons you kind of have to start things over from square one in some ways, but it just felt weird.

    And the weapon degradation never really felt fun to me. I feel like at the very least once you get the master sword and recharge it to its full power or whatever you should have that as an option that just doesn’t wear down, even if other weapons that do break might be better suited for the task.

    And having to go out and farm a thousand different fish and master parts and whatever else to upgrade your armor is just bullshit.
