It's kinda cute seeing someone go through in 2024 the thought processes most went through in 2017. It shows this game wasn't just a product of its time, it's gonna be an everlasting beacon of solid game design 101, like Super Mario 64 or Metal Gear Solid.
I was neck deep in raising toddlers when switch came out; it wasn’t even on my radar. Now that I have a bit more time to myself, my husband got me one for my bday and I’ve never been happier picking herbs and sniping bokoblins.
I absolutely love and appreciate your commentary style, it feels very natural. It is so obnoxious when someone is "trying" to be entertaining. The whole video felt like you were simply verbalizing your natural thoughts as you played the game. You just so happen to be someone who mentally processes the game in a way that is entertaining, no trying required. No fluff, no exaggerated emotions/reactions to things . . . just a dude sharing a natural experience of a video game. So damn refreshing! Looking forward to seeing your other content!

Give Lil Indigestion a look. His BotW blind play through is absolutely excellent. Watching his thought process as he pieces things together is fascinating. Well worth the watch.
I love how your playthrough illustrates something I read from the developers about how they realized pretty early on that if they wanted players to experiment and take risks, they had to understand that means players will die a lot, so you have to figure out how to make dying fun. Or at least, make dying painless enough that it doesn't overshadow the fun of whatever zany thing you were attempting that got you killed! That's why it autosaves so often that dying never sets you back very far, and the only real penalty is that you have to look at the game over screen for a few seconds. So the next time you get a wacky idea, you don't hesitate to try it out because you don't feel any pressing need to really avoid dying at all costs.

Seriously, if this becomes a series I am tuning in every damn week! I'm so invested! Edit: also, I can see a few gatekeepers near the bottom of the comments. Don't mind them 😊 Zelda games have changed and come a long way since the first one. I think we'd love to see you give some of them a go at some point. BOTW is very different to some of the old games, which might have come as a dissapointment to some of the more longterm fans after waiting for it for so long. But not all of them 😁 It's a shame it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's every bit a Zelda game as the others, they've just taken a different approach. Some of my favourite content is of this game and it's sequel. It's a new vibe but so much fun!
"of all the games which ones are real zelda and which ones arent?" "my dear theyre all zelda" "even the open world ones?" "especially the open world ones"
This game is my first zelda game, and I still haven't finished it.. Someone gifted me the game last year, but sadly I lost motivation after getting confused on how to continue. I am not a gamer, and it's something I'm not used to, so it was frustrating to continue when I was slowly getting bored. When I read comments like these ; they're surprising motivating because not everyone was fortunate to grow up with games, and know the mechanics of these type of games, not to mention having the console itself to even play. What might seem like second nature to y'all, it's a thing I have to learn more about, and try out.People can be so rude to newbies, so thanks for the reminder :) I want to try it again, even if I'm still a beginner..
@@Ama_tullah hi! 😊 I'm happy it motivated you a bit. I would highly recommend continuing, but don't feel too down if it's still not your thing. As I said, the style of this game isn't everyone's cup of tea. I personally loved it for the exploration and getting to know the world so much that, if suddenly dropped in the middle of it myself, I'd know exactly where to go for supplies, weapons, or safety. I also loved how many ways the game gives you to fight or solve puzzles. It really feels like your own journey and can give you memories of it not every other player will have. I distinctly remember the first time I came across civilization, after about an hour trying to take down the same bokoblin camp and getting chased by a stone talus (big scary rock guy). I felt very much in danger and very much alone. I hadn't seen a soul since the king's ghost sent me on my way and disappeared. For all I knew, the world was empty of anyone but me and I was searching for another ghost. It was night, I crested a hill and heard distant music. I looked down and saw the lights of a village in the valley below me and felt so much relief. I camped underneath three apple trees until morning, because in my mind I thought an adventurer would rest after battle before going forward to reach a distant town. That's one of my favourite memories of the game 😊 and I think it might help you to think of it less like a game and more like a journey you're taking. You don't have to fight every monster or climb every mountain, but your journey will be yours. If you give the game another shot, I hope you enjoy it. If not, don't stress about it 😆
I remember having a VERY similar experience of awe the first time I played BOTW. My mind continued to be absolutely BLOWN after I left the Plateau and explored the whole map.
right down to jumping off the tower and dying😭 i remember the first time i really Understood the scope of the map. after spending so much time on just the great plateau i honestly felt like i couldnt wrap my brain around it
@@crstph Literally this lol I was telling my friend (who had me over and was having me play it for the first time) "It's so beautiful and there's so much to do, how can you even explore all of this??" She was like, "You haven't even gotten off the Great Plateau yet!"
Just watching this guy play Breath of the Wild for the first time is surreal... it's been a while since I was new to the game, or played the game at all, and watching this guy play is like reliving playing this game for the first time.
Not only such an incredible edit but also a comforting voice to just listen to while playing one of my favourite games of all time. It's always a pleasure watching new players who try to pick up this game for their playthrough. Please, keep on going and making a great content
I'm so glad I randomly got this game back in 2018. I still do mods and challenge runs to this day. I finally went and got into all the older 3D games back in 2022 after a great content creator called "Deebeegeek" did the same thing, and WHAT A JOURNEY IT WAS. It genuinely changed my life, the way I think and solve puzzles and explore areas even irl lol. I highly recommend trying them out, but don't feel obligated I guess. Also do what you want in the games and you don't need to listen to any super hardcore fans/backseaters if you don't want to. This is YOUR journey.
to other viewers: hello there fellow adventurers that couldn't experience this game for the first time again but want to relive it to the video uploader: your editing and commentary is on point man, keep it up!
Production quality is mind boggling considering the size of your channel. Incredible video, it was great vicariously re experiencing this game through your experience.
I love watching people play this game for the first time. Even better when they're legitimately interesting to watch! You've got some great one liners. This is definitely a game where you can choose to play it as a technician, if you're worried that it won't be challenging enough. Later on you have the ability to play in "master mode", too, where all the enemies have more health and do more damage. The other fun thing about Zelda games is that there are a lot ways to make the games more interesting or challenging by self-imposed limitations, as well. For example, the "3 heart completion" challenge (beat the game with only the original 3 hearts of health) has been around since at least Ocarina of Time. Being a bit of a Zelda nerd, I love how big the map is and all the easter eggs they've put in. As a fun easter egg for anyone reading: the size of the Great Plateau in Breath of the Wild is approximately the size of the entire kingdom of Hyrule in Ocarina of Time.
10:30 "not used to the controller layout of the switch" That D pad symbol in the top left corner tells me you're running this game on a Wii U instead, either physical or virtual! XD
The Fandom Has Been Summonded!!! We demand more content, just like this. Don’t try harder or be more entertaining with increased followers, stay humble and honest. It’s amazing!
literally me right now LOL; going thru a zelda hyperfixation, beat OOT and TP, nearing the end of MM, will likely retry skyward sword when im done with botw because of the horrible controls. absolutely lovely series and its an amazing experience. trying to enjoy it every little bit because i am well aware you only get to get that "first playthrough" experience once. just sad it didn't click with me sooner, i've dabbled in multiple of the titles but never really "invested" into them until recently. 10/10, have also bombed myself multiple times and spent 20 minutes murdering a hinox with the remote bombs :D
this is actually beautiful. being able to play this game for the first time is something i will never be able to relive, and this captures it perfectly
I love this video. It’s amazing to see people play botw for the first time. Such a long game, I enjoyed every minute minute. Same with TOTK. You should continue straight to the sequel.
It's interesting seeing a completely new face to the series coming into BotW so many years later, especially given the fandom's current hatred of It's sequel, as well as the general burnout we're dealing with in these two games. That being said, I'm glad you're enjoying the series! Don't listen to the elitists and assholes in your comments, if you ever wanna try the older games and the experiences they have to offer, go for it, but don't feel obligated to! As for being obligated to do something, though... given how this video seemed to blow up in views... yeah, I definitely see a sequel video in the future...
It's kinda crazy how this video popped in my feed as I was doing research for this video essay I'm planning. I read the description and I'm making it on this very idea of missing a game you otherwise would absolutely love playing, specifically Elden Ring. I feel like while this is still fresh in your mind I would love to have a chat with you about this via DMs, Discord call, etc if you were down! I don't have Instagram so sadly I didn't see any other socials I could use to get a hold of you to ask privately, but just wanted to extend the offer! btw, love this series and seeing people play BOTW for the first time so regardless, please keep it up!
I will never say no to a video of someone playing Zelda for the first time. EDIT: I’m cry laughing at your first stone talus. Mine was on the great plateau though
Yesss I remember my first time playing and I was just walking through just exploring at first. And I started picking up all the hylian shrooms and then all of a sudden I’m thrown into the air by this big ass rock. I turn and see it and I’m like “oh that’s not- OH FUCK RUN” cut to me hauling ass back the way I came 😂😂
The trek up the hill in Hateno village is a classic moment for rain to interrupt. I've seen this game retitled to The Legend of Rain at Inconvenient Times.
Hi, I’m [State]. Your [Breath of the Wild] assistant! Ask me anything about the game! I’m happy to provide you with the information you need! Here are a couple of none spoiler tips: 1. If you take of your bow while in midair (you need to be falling not just jumping by pressing X) you will then slow down time making it easier to aim a little like flurry rush. 2. That guardian you saw shoots laser as you may have seen. You can parry those lasers back at them with a shield. Be careful though they can break you shield in one shot if you mess up! 3. Sell gems they have 2 purposes money and upgrading armour. But you can easily get more by fighting a talus’s (stone giant you died while fighting it). Bonus tip: throw remote bombs at the talus. It will make him fall over and let you climb on top to hit the weak point. Not sure if you want or can answer this question but are you playing on an emulator? The UI for naming your horse looked a little off.
Nothing better than playing or watching someone play this game for the first time. If I could I would delete my memory of this game just so I could play it all over again for the first time
Amazing looking back and seeing how Tears of the Kingdom addressed the pain points and removed friction from Breath of the Wild. I'm enjoying both the energy and the editing, so I'm hoping to see more.
Your monologuing and editing are hilarious. I love the little squeaky sound when you shoot an arrow. I thought it was just the first time but then it keeps coming back. It's probably too late, but I always recommend switching the jump button in the game settings, so B is jump and X is run/cancel. I find it much more natural since so many games have B for jump and Y for attack. I also like Pro mode for the HUD so it only shows hearts on screen.
This aint even a traditional zelda game, so if you plan on playing one of them, it'll be like playing it for the first time again lmao Fun journey, that
I remember when "traditional" fans jeered at OoT for being a pale, watered down LttP. Now OoT is traditional and BotW is not. Cue insipid "but dUnGeOnS" arguments from "traditionalists" who forget how time works.
@@lucasstrople4767 Can we stop with the whole sarcasm thing please? I feel like your reply is meant to antagonize. I'm only referring to the games before BotW because I know that's a new 'tradition' so to speak. BotW (and TotK) is so vastly different from the games before. I was only commenting that the original games were so different, really. And before you antagonize me further; I love all the games. I don't care about their differences. It's just cool to look back on what I am used to versus what's new.
It is funny because my personal Zelda Story is almost the same as yours. Never was a big Nintendo kid (I only owned a loved my Gameboy back then in the early 90s, but never had a NES or SNES. Instead I went for a PC). In mid-2023 I finally bought a Switch as I wanted to understand the whole Zelda thing. Started with BotW but it didn't click. Don't know why. Three weeks ago all of a sudden I gave it a second try. Since that day, I am so into the whole Zelda world that I really enjoy every second and love each session. Whether I'm just exploring/admiring the world, searching for shrines or following the main story. 50+ hours in now and I don't want it to end. At least there is TotK after BotW which I'm already really looking forward to. Thanks for the great video, which I can totally relate to.
I approve that you found Zelda. However, play more of them to get a proper picture. Like skyward sword, oot, spirit tracks, twilight princess, a link between worlds. All of these are vastly different.
Randomly found the video in my recommendation and loved it. It’s fun to see someone discovering a game and/or franchise you love. Anyway, keep up the good work and enjoy the game :)
BotW isn't the same as any other Zelda game that game before it. You still haven't played a Zelda game yet. You've just played the new direction Zelda has went since 2017. Not saying it's necessarily a bad direction, just a fundamentally different direction than any of the classic games
Come on, they are still Zelda games! They have the spirit and DNA of Zelda deeply engrained in their design. Botw is one of my favorite games but so is Wind Waker, they are just from different eras in the series history and I love both dearly
Watching people play this game for the first time never gets old

I felt very much in danger and very much alone. I hadn't seen a soul since the king's ghost sent me on my way and disappeared. For all I knew, the world was empty of anyone but me and I was searching for another ghost. It was night, I crested a hill and heard distant music. I looked down and saw the lights of a village in the valley below me and felt so much relief. I camped underneath three apple trees until morning, because in my mind I thought an adventurer would rest after battle before going forward to reach a distant town. That's one of my favourite memories of the game 😊 and I think it might help you to think of it less like a game and more like a journey you're taking. You don't have to fight every monster or climb every mountain, but your journey will be yours.
If you give the game another shot, I hope you enjoy it. If not, don't stress about it 😆
@jessicaable5095 Thanks so much for the thoughtful note! Have a great rest of your day! ^_^
I remember having a VERY similar experience of awe the first time I played BOTW. My mind continued to be absolutely BLOWN after I left the Plateau and explored the whole map.
right down to jumping off the tower and dying😭 i remember the first time i really Understood the scope of the map. after spending so much time on just the great plateau i honestly felt like i couldnt wrap my brain around it
@@crstph Literally this lol I was telling my friend (who had me over and was having me play it for the first time)
"It's so beautiful and there's so much to do, how can you even explore all of this??"
She was like, "You haven't even gotten off the Great Plateau yet!"
This is hilarious. Please do full let's plays. So many great quotes.
Just watching this guy play Breath of the Wild for the first time is surreal... it's been a while since I was new to the game, or played the game at all, and watching this guy play is like reliving playing this game for the first time.
Not only such an incredible edit but also a comforting voice to just listen to while playing one of my favourite games of all time. It's always a pleasure watching new players who try to pick up this game for their playthrough. Please, keep on going and making a great content

The squeeky sound when using a bow and arrow gets me everytime. Botw was also my first zelda game and watching you play takes me back! Great video
I got a crazy amount of enjoyment from this. I hope you continue on.
The “beam me up Scotty!” Made me laugh so hard 😂
3:21 "i wonder if i could've snuck up on them" you couldve rolled the boulder down the hill lmaooo
honestly it's always such a gem to find people playing this game for the first time
I'm so glad I randomly got this game back in 2018. I still do mods and challenge runs to this day. I finally went and got into all the older 3D games back in 2022 after a great content creator called "Deebeegeek" did the same thing, and WHAT A JOURNEY IT WAS. It genuinely changed my life, the way I think and solve puzzles and explore areas even irl lol. I highly recommend trying them out, but don't feel obligated I guess. Also do what you want in the games and you don't need to listen to any super hardcore fans/backseaters if you don't want to. This is YOUR journey.
This video felt like I was experiencing the game all over again, but with a funny accent -An American
to other viewers: hello there fellow adventurers that couldn't experience this game for the first time again but want to relive it
to the video uploader: your editing and commentary is on point man, keep it up!
also coming back from totk, it amazes me how little we actually had of crafting in botw
oh im so excited for this! i'd love to see more of your playthrough your commentary feels like its your actual thoughts
nah bro u entertaining as hell without being over the top im absolutely gonna come back for more parts
Production quality is mind boggling considering the size of your channel. Incredible video, it was great vicariously re experiencing this game through your experience.
plz make a part 2 bro i have no idea who you were until this vid but now i wanna see more
i honestly really enjoyed this type of a video, praying for the series to continue, its so much fun to watch!!
commenting for the algo, I love seeing people play this masterpiece for the first time
Seeing people discover BotW without any prior context of any Zelda games is really cool
Welcome to the community, and welcome to one of the best open world games in the last decade.
Please make this a series man! It's very entertaining to watch someone play it for the first time!
"how many times do we have to teach you this old man" yeah he gets it
I had a lot of fun hearing your reactions and watching you play for the first time.
Thanks for sharing!
Would watch you play the entirety of this game mate, seeing the natural progression of learning the world and mechanics is awesome!
I love watching people play this game for the first time. Even better when they're legitimately interesting to watch! You've got some great one liners.
This is definitely a game where you can choose to play it as a technician, if you're worried that it won't be challenging enough. Later on you have the ability to play in "master mode", too, where all the enemies have more health and do more damage. The other fun thing about Zelda games is that there are a lot ways to make the games more interesting or challenging by self-imposed limitations, as well. For example, the "3 heart completion" challenge (beat the game with only the original 3 hearts of health) has been around since at least Ocarina of Time. Being a bit of a Zelda nerd, I love how big the map is and all the easter eggs they've put in. As a fun easter egg for anyone reading: the size of the Great Plateau in Breath of the Wild is approximately the size of the entire kingdom of Hyrule in Ocarina of Time.
10:30 "not used to the controller layout of the switch"
That D pad symbol in the top left corner tells me you're running this game on a Wii U instead, either physical or virtual! XD
Ah, you're using an emulator! The King's spirit disappearing is usually more graceful on the intended hardware. :P
@@MrLuigiBean1The rag doll physics too 😂
The Fandom Has Been Summonded!!! We demand more content, just like this. Don’t try harder or be more entertaining with increased followers, stay humble and honest. It’s amazing!
I hope theres more recordings of this, I love seeing the reactions to everything lol
Not knowing anything about BotW in 2024 is pure insanity, but great video mate, hope you go on to TotK
RUclips recommendations doing their job! I love it here!
“Oh this is quite beautiful…”
*(throws saturated filter over the video, tarnishing the original beauty)*
Its a filter for the cemu emulator, called clarity, not a fan personally
literally me right now LOL; going thru a zelda hyperfixation, beat OOT and TP, nearing the end of MM, will likely retry skyward sword when im done with botw because of the horrible controls. absolutely lovely series and its an amazing experience. trying to enjoy it every little bit because i am well aware you only get to get that "first playthrough" experience once. just sad it didn't click with me sooner, i've dabbled in multiple of the titles but never really "invested" into them until recently. 10/10, have also bombed myself multiple times and spent 20 minutes murdering a hinox with the remote bombs :D
10 seconds in and I am already hooked and stuck in for the whole ride. 10/10 would watch the first 10 seconds again.
6:35 The f***?! I played this game for over 1,000 hours and I seriously am only seeing this now?!?! 🙃
this is actually beautiful. being able to play this game for the first time is something i will never be able to relive, and this captures it perfectly
You are the ONLY PERSON THAT IVE MET THAT KNOWS ABOUT THE “ruby ruby ruby rubay, du du du du du nuhhh” song
He sung that part and my head WHIPPEd around like BRUH.
I love this video. It’s amazing to see people play botw for the first time. Such a long game, I enjoyed every minute minute. Same with TOTK. You should continue straight to the sequel.
This video is so fun hope you make it into a series
I would be delighted if the sea were full of cucumber juice.
It's interesting seeing a completely new face to the series coming into BotW so many years later, especially given the fandom's current hatred of It's sequel, as well as the general burnout we're dealing with in these two games. That being said, I'm glad you're enjoying the series! Don't listen to the elitists and assholes in your comments, if you ever wanna try the older games and the experiences they have to offer, go for it, but don't feel obligated to!
As for being obligated to do something, though... given how this video seemed to blow up in views... yeah, I definitely see a sequel video in the future...
It's kinda crazy how this video popped in my feed as I was doing research for this video essay I'm planning. I read the description and I'm making it on this very idea of missing a game you otherwise would absolutely love playing, specifically Elden Ring. I feel like while this is still fresh in your mind I would love to have a chat with you about this via DMs, Discord call, etc if you were down!
I don't have Instagram so sadly I didn't see any other socials I could use to get a hold of you to ask privately, but just wanted to extend the offer!
btw, love this series and seeing people play BOTW for the first time so regardless, please keep it up!
i think all zelda fans are jealous of people who can still play this game for the first time
i love when smaller channels just post a random first game experience video and its always the best thing you've ever seen
yo this video is awesome, hope to see more! :D
I just love watching people experience this game for the first time
I will never say no to a video of someone playing Zelda for the first time.
EDIT: I’m cry laughing at your first stone talus. Mine was on the great plateau though
Yesss I remember my first time playing and I was just walking through just exploring at first. And I started picking up all the hylian shrooms and then all of a sudden I’m thrown into the air by this big ass rock. I turn and see it and I’m like “oh that’s not- OH FUCK RUN” cut to me hauling ass back the way I came 😂😂
The trek up the hill in Hateno village is a classic moment for rain to interrupt. I've seen this game retitled to The Legend of Rain at Inconvenient Times.
"I get it"
**is playing one of the most different LoZ titles in the series**
So cool to see this!
Keep in mind that BotW is not a very typical Zelda game in the grand scheme. But it's a very beautiful one.

Hi, I’m [State]. Your [Breath of the Wild] assistant! Ask me anything about the game! I’m happy to provide you with the information you need!
Here are a couple of none spoiler tips: 1. If you take of your bow while in midair (you need to be falling not just jumping by pressing X) you will then slow down time making it easier to aim a little like flurry rush.
2. That guardian you saw shoots laser as you may have seen. You can parry those lasers back at them with a shield. Be careful though they can break you shield in one shot if you mess up!
3. Sell gems they have 2 purposes money and upgrading armour. But you can easily get more by fighting a talus’s (stone giant you died while fighting it).
Bonus tip: throw remote bombs at the talus. It will make him fall over and let you climb on top to hit the weak point.
Not sure if you want or can answer this question but are you playing on an emulator? The UI for naming your horse looked a little off.
This feels like a classic great RUclips let’s play, great job man this is a fantastic video
Nothing better than playing or watching someone play this game for the first time. If I could I would delete my memory of this game just so I could play it all over again for the first time
Amazing looking back and seeing how Tears of the Kingdom addressed the pain points and removed friction from Breath of the Wild. I'm enjoying both the energy and the editing, so I'm hoping to see more.
I think everybody who's played BotW wants to be able to play it for the first time again, and this video *perfectly* captures that feeling. Well done.
My first zelda game ive played is tears of the kingdom. What a game man. I never thought that zelda was such a good game.
My first was The wind waker
i can relate, spent 100 hours on my first play through
im not gonna be all "why did you play totk first?!??!?!?!" but i lowk think botw is so much better if you play it before totk
mine was oot
@@theclarientguy rookie numbers. I played for over 200 hours
we love positive reactions while reminiscing on our favourite games to an unknown youtuber
31:54 Are you emulating? On Switch, I’ve never seen the Yiga fighter appear before their disguise despawned.
I think so, the keyboard looked different when he named his horse
0:22 “The world better be ending if you’re waking me up from a nap.”
Who gonna tell him?
Your emulator did something funny to the physics,
but watching you play this for the first time was still top tier entertainment
This was beautiful. Make this a series and you, sir, will have rightfully earned my subscription
Zelda fans STILL being annoying in this comment section...
Man I just finished the game for the first time I feel like a kid again, I played ocarina of time on the 3ds like 10 years ago when I was 8 😭
Okay but your voice is what I think BOTW Link sounds like bro.
Your monologuing and editing are hilarious. I love the little squeaky sound when you shoot an arrow. I thought it was just the first time but then it keeps coming back.
It's probably too late, but I always recommend switching the jump button in the game settings, so B is jump and X is run/cancel. I find it much more natural since so many games have B for jump and Y for attack. I also like Pro mode for the HUD so it only shows hearts on screen.
part 2 when?
Watching somebody experiencing that game for the first time is so great to see. Also the video was really entertaining, so much silly commentary!
This aint even a traditional zelda game, so if you plan on playing one of them, it'll be like playing it for the first time again lmao
Fun journey, that
This is a traditional Zelda game though, this is the new tradition that the games will use from now on
I remember when "traditional" fans jeered at OoT for being a pale, watered down LttP.
Now OoT is traditional and BotW is not.
Cue insipid "but dUnGeOnS" arguments from "traditionalists" who forget how time works.
@@lucasstrople4767 Can we stop with the whole sarcasm thing please? I feel like your reply is meant to antagonize. I'm only referring to the games before BotW because I know that's a new 'tradition' so to speak. BotW (and TotK) is so vastly different from the games before. I was only commenting that the original games were so different, really.
And before you antagonize me further; I love all the games. I don't care about their differences. It's just cool to look back on what I am used to versus what's new.
It is funny because my personal Zelda Story is almost the same as yours. Never was a big Nintendo kid (I only owned a loved my Gameboy back then in the early 90s, but never had a NES or SNES. Instead I went for a PC). In mid-2023 I finally bought a Switch as I wanted to understand the whole Zelda thing. Started with BotW but it didn't click. Don't know why. Three weeks ago all of a sudden I gave it a second try. Since that day, I am so into the whole Zelda world that I really enjoy every second and love each session. Whether I'm just exploring/admiring the world, searching for shrines or following the main story. 50+ hours in now and I don't want it to end. At least there is TotK after BotW which I'm already really looking forward to.
Thanks for the great video, which I can totally relate to.
Did you try the other Zelda games?
I approve that you found Zelda. However, play more of them to get a proper picture. Like skyward sword, oot, spirit tracks, twilight princess, a link between worlds. All of these are vastly different.
This guy is gonna check his youtube analytics and get an honest to god jumpscare
Zelda fans in the comments are so annoying omg...
Randomly found the video in my recommendation and loved it.
It’s fun to see someone discovering a game and/or franchise you love.
Anyway, keep up the good work and enjoy the game :)
BotW isn't the same as any other Zelda game that game before it. You still haven't played a Zelda game yet. You've just played the new direction Zelda has went since 2017. Not saying it's necessarily a bad direction, just a fundamentally different direction than any of the classic games
Come on, they are still Zelda games! They have the spirit and DNA of Zelda deeply engrained in their design. Botw is one of my favorite games but so is Wind Waker, they are just from different eras in the series history and I love both dearly
Loved this! Just a gentle reminder that you can remap your buttons on the Switch and save the load out if you want.
