@@CTN404 True, but we are talking about the Genshin and BOTW. Twilight Princess is my favorite zelda game so far i just love the story and Link can turn into a wolf!
as someone who never wanted to try playing genshin because i used to think that genshin just ripped off botw. i've spent probably 50 hours in genshin and i really am loving it! yes there are some similarities with the stamina bar summ other, but i think genshin put its own twist on the standard mechanics of botw + added extra features to make it a completely different game imo
Yes, but some people just talk shjt about GI just because it's like Zelda and not even bother playing it before saying bad about it. I mean GI is a lot different from it used to be, especially when Inazuma came out
@@ss-hw3rr the comment section thinks both games copied each other and is fighting on which is better but in reality the GI author said he loves Botw and GI is inspired by it and it doesnt copy it truly if you play both game you can see some similarities but you can still see the difference
@adrian guzman I see another stupid guy who doesn’t read GI was inspired by BotW and if your saying GI sux and it copied BotW that’s just a stupid way of saying BOTW sux bro even Nintendo doesn’t care I basically know you don’t play both since I’ve played both they might have similarities but it’s a whole lot different when you play it 😂 so I guess having climbing/gliding is copying now stop judging when you don’t know the meaning of inspired and copied but that’s your opinion so Idc
I miss the old era when we don't even need to insult people because they play bad game, we all just laugh and giggles on how bad the game is or it looks similiar.
Well the thing is a lot of these are expected from open world games sure it may be heavily inspired but if you play it for a while its quite different.
I played BotW for so many years, got tired of it after there was nothing else to do but still love the game. And when GI was released and BotW community was all worked up calling GI a "BotW copy", I actually believed and hated GI. But I got a PS5 and started playing Genshin around 4 months ago, and the similarities are so superficial and unimportant, I can't even believe people hated that game for something so silly. Right now I actually like GI more, the lore is really well developed and the variety of playable characters interest me more, even as a f2p player. Both games are great, have few similarities, but I wouldn't call Genshin a "BotW copy".
Superficial and unimportant? Copying a games entire art design, style, concepts isn’t superficial and unimportant. There isn’t anything GI does that breath of the wild didn’t already do but better. Having 60 characters doesn’t make a game unique or significant. It’s for paywalls and nothing more. It’s ridiculous that it’s even a discussion on whether it’s a clone or not. Had the game not been free it would’ve been dead in the water for being in inferior clone of a game that already existed.
@@anthonycarrillo34 WHAT PAYWALLS ?????? Im a f2p and has experienced the main story without paying a single thing. If your talking about the gacha system then thats completly optional. Somebody has played the game from start to where we are now with starter characters

The play system depends on searching, exploring, finding treasures and weapons. If the weapons are not broken, the player will not find any incentive to explore and search for new weapons.
@@jacobino9593 i agree . You wake up after 100 years and you have to save the world while looking for 900 korok seeds . SO EPIC . But yeah botw's story was AMAZING !
Id say its like the difference between Street fighter and Mortal Kombat sure both are 2d fighting games were you pit 2 characters against each other. both have similer controls and Mechanics and story advancement. the same can be said for Genshin Impact and BotW both are Exploration ARPGs with with similer controls and Map reveals . Both have very different stories and both do different things in there own way. Same Genre Different game. I see no Copyright issue.
They don’t have a meeting lol. They just apply for approval. Do you think all the shitty games on Switch had a meeting with Nintedo staff to approve their games?
I have a switch and never played botw and not really interested in it. Though I played genshin for 1 1/2 years now. (Currently bored of it though) Genshin impacts new regions and characters are so much better quality-wise than the first few.
True i even once encounter some kids that mad Because i comment on someone video saying this game ia botw clone (i'm not hating on that comment) and this kid calling my logic is so dumb for calling it clone, well its fun game but i hate people how don't want to face the true
@@itsuko3205 same as League of legends compare with Mobile legend BB, when this mobile game booming at 2018 till now Lot of kid minded don't think they can face the truth
@@itsuko3205 This is what frustrates me the most. I'm a Botw player and it is my first ever "fighting" game. I mean, it is a fighting game where you have to fight ganon amirite lolol. So naturally, I would compare genshin to botw to see whether it is really worth my time playing. Not only the concept design is the same, even the gameplay feels the same (excluding fighting scenes of course). When I commented on this video saying about how I felt that the fighting scenes are too long and makes me get bored easily, someone (who didn't read my words properly) came to rebuke me saying fighting scenes are not really long, implying that I'm the weird one.

@@MaeXM yeah Botw is more fun in fighting as we can do something like on movie lol, well i play genshin its fun while it last now i don't anything to do in genshin beside just farming boss
Genshin impact is actually a great game even if they took a lot from breath of the wild it's still got it's own charm with the different characters you can play as and the weapon and artifact system. I myself have played breath of the wild (over 200 hours) and I know firsthand the similarities and differences between it and genshin impact
Genshin is clearly inspired a lot by botw, a ton, but they used their inspirations well and evolved the game over the years into something unique. Still prefer botw over genshin by a lot tho.
@@shao-yuwang1440 Define copying Cuz yall shouldve been this crazy when Star Wars came out since the OST so shamelessly stole and copied from Gustav Holst yet its okay. Undertale is inspired by earthbound and has the same format yet its okay too. +The game world is just so full of shit that there is no technically original things anymore. Basically, idc if this was a copy of botw or not, but it always pisses me off how you people have to always compare it to botw instead of judging the game for what it is. I firmly believe that it is just an inspiration.
I heard that these games were similar when started playing genshin impact, but now i know the truth. they definitely are two different games with some same mechanics and quite similar idea of world exploration
@YİĞİT AKTAŞ I have not played botw but someone explained the story and i seemed to like genshins better I wanna try playing botw but we have to pay to get the game (and i dont have a pc or nintendo)
@Isabel Adriana DYER OMONTE I wanna play botw cause I like story games and open world games (which is why i got into genshin in the first place lolol)but like my mom wont allow me to buy the game so
Look, Genshin took a lot from Zelda, there’s absolutely no case to be made about that. Bottom line is Genshin as we know today wouldn’t be what it is now without the brilliance of Zelda. But Genshin is a fantastic game in its own right. The reason why lots of people aren’t letting this go because a lot of you Genshin fanbois deny the things it took from Zelda. They took it, ok? Admit it but Genshin is still a damn original and good game.
Yeah genshin did take some inspiration from a lot of things but you’re kind of overhyping it here ngl. Even as someone who loves both games, definitely overhyping it
I’ve played both games and while I have seen some similarities, Genshin is a great game in its own right. Botw is still my favorite because I can ride my horse into the sunset lol 😆
exactly. its inspired, but there are SO many differences, its a totally different game. i got genshin expecting to hate and meme on it bc i love botw, but now i play it daily bc i genuinely love it! since im in endgame in botw, and a beginner in genshin, i spend more time in genshin than in botw. (def gotta return and do ganon though)
@@critlel7606 I can respect that. For me however, the only reason I love both is that both are fun to play. The only thing I hate about both is their community. For instance, When Genshin was first announced, BOTW community went ape sh*t on a "free" game...and Genshin because it's community on Twitter is just absolutely idiotic or, like usual, talking dumb for clouts. Both are good but both have their ups and downs
Honestly when Genshin first started, it did feel and look extremely similar to BotW, to the point that when I saw a video of Genshin when it first released, I thought it was BotW at first. But although it really seemed WAY too similar when it first released, at this point it's pretty clear that Genshin has evolved to become its own very distinct and unique entity. For one, I'd say BotW is much more of a survival/puzzle-solving game than Genshin, which is more of a fighting game. BotW has Link with all sorts of functions and items that you have to think creatively on how to maximise your different runes and weapons in battle, or even outside battle. There's a lot of focus on finding new and creative ways of doing stuff, like dropping metal crates on enemies. It's more realistic, with trees being literally destroyed when you cut them down, literally anything can catch on fire... (the good old way of dropping apples into fire to cook them, I was surprised when shooting a bird with Amber's charged shot didn't turn it directly into roasted chicken). Genshin focuses more on the different characters because of course it's a gacha game, and the different synergies in different team comps, and it's definitely much heavier on the fighting than BotW.
Botw makes you think about creative aprouches to face your enemy's while in genshin impact you just need to press mouse one while switching characters and throwing their abilities without any skill evolved or any other option to face them
BOTW still has the better fighting system even though it's not as focused on fighting as Genshin and also "BotW has Link with all sorts of functions and items that you have to think creatively on how to maximise your different runes and weapons in battle" Isn't that like a main aspect of Genshin? Getting good artifacts and finding the best set of weapons, team combinations etc.
@@starstenaal527 Eh.... They are aiming for pretty much completely different styles of combat, so it's difficult to really compare them. BotW's more Technical, while GI's more Arcadey, especially if you factor in the optional multiplayer.
the only big difference is Link doesn't talk while they can say a few words Edit:I meant this as a joke taking reference from old LoZ games but some people getting pissed for not considering battle noises as talking...I don't have any words😶...
I still don't understand why people argue so much about this two games, there are a lot of games that for mechanics and graphics style are really similar, but no one complain about those title, and anyway, there is no copyright on graphics style or mechanics because if it was a thing, than for example every game with Cell Shading should be considered plagiarism. There is copyright on stories, names, characters, Maps or regions, but Mihoyo didn't copied hyrule map, or link character, or enemies design, they just implemented open world mechanics and used Cell Shading. Saying that genshin impact copied botw it's nonsensical because one is a gacha game with open world more combat oriented, the other is an open world game focused on delivering the best experience in exploration (let's be honest, Botw world is more alive and with more physics and possibilities), so comparing the two it's just useless.
Yep, Genshin is more grindy since it's a free game and more focused on milking money for waifus/husbandos and leveling them, while BOTW is a paid experience for people who like the Zelda franchise. Just because one game pioneered a style doesn't mean it should be the only game with that style. If we kept that shitty mindset videogame genres wouldn't exist because only 1 game is allowed to have that genre.
@@linkcorriere846 might look like a clone at the start, but when you go even further to the game, it feels like a different game. Honestly saying this is useless, so I won’t try convincing you to like the game or even try it.
pretty much, because It's a whole different genre, Zelda is a full complete story, and open world game, while genshin is a online Gacha game, with a story that isn't finished... at all, we've gotta at least wait for YEARS until the whole story is finish, like Honkai Impact as an example, I wish MiHoyo could've just finished the whole story immediately, rather than wait for months before the new updates came
@@bluecranecrafts4859 this person had been commenting under lots of other comments with full intention of saying botw is better than genshin so they are definitely not joking
Yeah IkR i mean i haven't played both specially botw and i just started genshin impact. I mean game is game it suppose to be fun and all XD not complicated and arguing😂
Similarities I found: Explosive barrels: Explosive barrels can be found in both games, and both explosive, but they have their own different designs. Stamina: You use stamina to run, glide, climb, and swim. All decrease stamina. Wind Currents: You will have to activate/find a wind current to glide along. Wind gliders: Wind Gliders are used to specifically fly along wind currents, or just to glide freely. Enemy camps: The enemy camps are a little similar.
If you wanna go to the older Zelda games, The wave rider is literally like link's boat small and has a cartoonish look but I'll give them credit since the boat doesn't talk
We need updated comparisons between both games that focus on the later game content. The beginning of Genshin Impact is SUPER similar to BOTW but it becomes completely different in the later game. It doesn't matter which you prefer because the similarities are mostly superficial.
Some of these comments here are like: "Genshin Impact isn't just a BotW clone," and then straight up say "It's like I'm playing BotW again!" Like, y'all are gonna seriously complain over the fact that people compare it to BotW, and then use that as a main selling point.
Fun fact in dept it just knock of + typical gacha mobile game system there not much in dept like real console game. SO said it isn't the same cause not want to get sue lol which sure it isn't the same but do they isn't knock off.... can't say it isn't lol.
It' okay though. The story is different. Some ingame system are different, they just use botw as references as their main theme. Look at all battle royale game, they had the same system but no one complaining. It's the same as rpgs through ages. Elder scroll, witcher, final fantasy ,etc etc
Probably because the game was made by a Chinese developer. They're constantly plagiarizing things and people from outside countries can't do shit about it.
No it's not to similar it's a actual rip off why is it so hard for you to realize that both games are fun though it's just genshin impact is a rip off game and it's that simple
the people at mihoyo played botw then thought "hey lets make this into a game with a lot of orphans and make one kid relive his gorey death for thousands of years"
@@primeoctober No, one literally have the same mechanic while Mario vs Sonic, while they're both 2d parkour games, uses different mechanics, which is why no one claims that they're copying.
Two differences that I quite like about Genshin Impact when compared to Zelda. 1) The Rain doesn’t affect the climbing. 2) The weapons don’t break every 5-10 minutes.
Well let's see... Genshin • More accessibility (thank God, you can even play it on phone) • Free to play (kinda) • Better story • Better combat mechanics • Lots of playable characters • Tougher bosses (or easier, depending on your build) • Lots of minigames and weekly events to earn prices (well it's an online game after all) • It's an RPG first and an open world game second. The game is more combat focused, it's map has a higher enemy density that botw. But the exploration is really restricted by the adventure rank system BOTW • Exclusive (oh come on nintendo, I had to borrow a friend's switch to play this) • Paid • Better open world (open world games are supposed to give you a sense of freedom, in genshin the newer areas and the later story quests are restricted by adventure ranks. But in botw after you complete the tutorial and get the glider you can go anywhere anytime. hell you can even face the final boss if you want to lol, but don't do that he'll kick your ass) • Better music • Just one playable character (but he can use any weapon) • Better dungeons (I don't think it's even a competition, the Zelda series are known for the awesome dungeons) • Most importantly, better replay value • BOTW is more focused on exploration than combat. The enemy density is much less, but the amount of stuff to explore is insane. Even four years after it's release people are finding new stuff even nowadays I am not gonna compare graphics cuz it depends on the player. Lot's of people like genshin graphics more cuz of it's anime style world. But I personally love the botw world as the more realistic graphics makes the world feel alive Now the grinding in botw is pretty easy, enemies respawn during blood moons which occur every 2 - 3 hours (real world time) of gameplay. Weapons in botw breaks and you may or may not get them back, weapons found in shrines will not respawn whereas the weapons found in the open world respawn with every blood moon. In genshin weapons never break, but if you are not careful you might get broke while trying to pull for a 5 star weapon. Grinding in genshin is based on a resin system which is kinda frustrating as grinding is also rng based. I talk about this from personal experience after all those hours spent on grinding artifacts only to get some defense substats all the time. Some of the bosses can only be looted once a week, which is the most frustrating thing about grinding in genshin. That being said as the weapons never break in genshin you can choose any playstyle you want and stick with it, whereas in botw you have to adapt constaly thoughout the fight against bosses as weapons break and the new one you are switching to may not be of the same type (thank God the master sword does not break, although it needs to recharge after a while of fighting) As much as I like genshin, I really feel bad for the newer players who pulled Raiden Shogun at low adventure rank levels. They gotta wait a long time to build her up. I only hope the situation doesn't get worse when newer regions come out
now this is a great and unbiased comparison. though i need to point out the physic as well, that aspect is what makes BoTW better than Genshin Impact in my opinion
@@deadwannabe It takes basic knowledge to know that since they didn’t showcase the entire map for genshin, it makes the comparison inaccurate. And it’s funny you’d say that because I’ve played both for over 10 hours and my personal opinion is that Genshin Impact beats BOTW by an enormous amount, in the aspect of storyline, combat, and scenery.
@@airfloresjp you are soo biased lmao. I mean botw storyline revolves around a character named link, who is the guard of princess zelda. And one day calamity ganon attacked, basically ending hyrule. 100 years later link is awakened from his sleep. A mysterious old man thought him the basics and revealed he was the ghost of the former king, links goal is the save Hyrule and the four beast which has a fragment of calamity ganon, he also went to retrieve his memory and master sword. With this he went to see the zoras, Goron, gerudo, rito, etc. He defeated the 4 fragments of ganon. Mipha a zora, daruk a Goron, Urbosa a gerudo, revali a rito. And of course link a hylian. These are the 4 champions who will defeat calamity ganon but ultimately defeated. Now link freed the souls of the champions and the champions gave link their Blessing, and help to finally defeat ganon. He retrieves the master sword. Now he's ready he defeats the first form of ganon with the help of the champions and now calamity ganons true form has awaken, with the help of zelda link defeats ganon and zelda seals him away, now in zelda return link and here with rebuild hyrule. There is more than that like MORE a storyline spanning over 30 years i can't cover them all. Also link was injured and was put in a shrine to heal for 100 years and only awaken when the time is right. Q/A me. And genshin impact NO UNKNOWN GOD STOLE SISTER OWO IMMA MAKE FRIENDS AND COMPLETELY FORGET ABOUT HER. Im just kidding of course lol, im only like 10 minutes imma comeback with a proper response
@@airfloresjp Combat? Geshin won? Nope, you're just left clicking and occasionally dodging -_- in breath of the wild you can do light attacks, hard attacks, you can dodging enemies and charge at them while they are occupied. You can stun enemies to get some extra damages. You can throw objects at enemies, you can crush them with a boulder. And you can RAM them to death.. idk what you meant by genshin impact having Better Combat while you're just left clicking...
@@philweinacht7039 please play the game bro. Have you seen combat, or anything else for that matter? It's an open world (not even that) game with stamina, okay.
To be honest after playing both games, I still think that BOTW has better combat and gameplay, especially with those slow motion mechanic, and it feels very satisfying. Though the weapon breaking is kind of irritating, I still prefer it over Genshin. I’m saving for Ayaka and Cyno, I hope I win the 50/50
Yeah i hoped in tears of kingdom weapons not broken so easy, that the only downside that i have with botw, i know they trying to make player more strategic of what weapon player used, but not like break after 30 hits dude
@@gunawanputera6443 I think it's balanced cuz otherwise ur gonna keep using the same broken weapon while switching between the best depending on your situation fits BOTW better
I play botw on Cemu emulator for the sole purpose of increasing weapon durability. I still bought the game to support it but its a deal breaker for me. I understand the point of the game is to try different weapons but its annoying how fast they break
I just saw a reply section with people arguing that genshin is bad because not everyone can afford it and that genshin players need a good device like a 1000$ phone or 5000$ pc to actually run the game. That's hilarious because buying the gacha currency is optional and every character can become a good dps/tank/support, and don't switch players need to pay for the switch and game first to play it? Both games need a device to play and can be played without needing to pay for anything ingame so I don't get why that is still an argument
I didn’t see one person saying that. You can get it on ps4, ps5, android, i0s, Nintendo switch and pc but if your playing it on a switch destroy the game (you take that anyway) and play botw cos it’s literally 150x better. I saw the trailer for genshin on my phone and wasn’t surprised that a mobile game would copy a masterpiece of a game then I saw it on ps4 so I decided to get it and see how good it was and didn’t actually know it was a literal direct copy at the time. I played for about 3 hours actually fine by it at first being exactly like botw because I was hoping it would be a masterpiece but no it’s just a shittier clunkier version with less fun gameplay, combat and story ect. 98% of people wouldn’t even want to touch that game if they knew how bad it was compared to botw like seriously just get botw or just don’t say that the game that completely ripped off a masterpiece and turned it mediocre was better and just stfu.
@@icanflyhuman9914 you need a switch or a wii u for it. And if you like genshin impact you should play other open world games cos there’s way better games then genshin.

@@cerasusarts01 I'm going to be real with you chief, to wage a legal battle over this will only waste both company's money and Nintendo isn't even guaranteed to win. If we had a legal battle everytime a game stripped some mechanics and world building ideas from another, there would be millions of lawsuits right now.
@@cerasusarts01 No, it's not a ripoff. Have you played Genshin Impact? I have 200 hours on BOTW and maybe over 300 on Genshin. If Genshin was that much of a, "ripoff," Nintendo would have actually sued them by now because Genshin is making tens of millions of dollars and is one of the most popular games in the world at the moment. Five bucks that BOTW was probably inspired by a multitude of game mechanics from other games yet do you see us yelling about lawsuits? Is every turn based RPG with classes and mana a ripoff of Final Fantasy? Is Shin Megami Tensei a ripoff of Final Fantasy because they are turn based, include weaknesses and strengths, and have mana along with a fantasy story filled with monsters? Enlighten me as to how Genshin copies so much off of BOTW besides the stamina system and world concept.
@@rikalei8571 Consumers are blind. That isn't my problem. The only good thing about it is the character designs and art style. Otherwise? It's garbage. Your points are valid to an extent, but that doesn't change the fact that Genshin Impact is utter regurgitated nonsense. And YES I have played it. Kinda insulting of you to say otherwise. I personally find it to be a shitty game with shitty malicious practices, and the fanbase is no better.
Most of comments is "genshin impact really copy zelda" Using that logic all open world games should be banned cause they are a copy of GTA. Even BOTW cause fused the stamina management mechanics from the Souls saga with open world mechanics from GTA. And going even deeper (and cringy), all videogames are a copy of virtual tic tac toe (the first videogame) cause they are videogames :v
@@pomeranianlover5798 botw had a story? All I remember is doing 10,000 mind numbing puzzles and a couple of boring animal dungeons that all looked exactly the same.
The movement in Genshin Impact, in my opinion, is less stiff. The characters move more freely, especially when you change directions while walking and coming to a halt. Loz:Botw Links movement is more, shall I say, realistic when it comes to running 😂 But its a little stiff. Other then that, both of em are great games and worth the play.
@@ixoku8219 Looks stiff ≠ feels stiff, the main reason ppl think genshin plays smoother is because BoTW is locked at 30fps while Genshin Impact can be played in 60fps. I played both games with a controller, and i personally think that BoTW plays smoother, just by how much you tilt the analog stick can greatly affect how fast you walk or sprint, when you stop pushing the analog, Link will immediately stop. I can’t say the same thing for Genshin Impact though, even when i stopped tilting the analog stick, sometimes the characters still moves
@@ixoku8219 No, that’s not what the developers intended to do, that’s game design flaw, it’s not about realism, in a game, you want the control to be as precise as possible. When the characters doesnt stop immediately, it’s a huge problem when solving puzzles in video games, and i’ve felt this many times in Genshin Impact. Furthermore on your point, Genshin Impact doesnt have more movement animations than BoTW, it’s the other way around, BoTW has so many animations for just walking and sprinting, the movement speed progressively increases depending on how far you tilt the analog stick, while in Genshin Impact, there’s only 2 animation for walking and sprinting respectively. Genshin Impact looks smoother merely because the game is played on 60fps, when that’s not neccesarily the case in reality, BoTW is actually far more smoother and responsive in almost every aspect excluding the frame rate I know it sounded like me fanboying on BoTW, but i’ve played both games extensively and i like both games almost equally, but Genshin Impact really doesnt stand a chance against BoTW when it comes to quality control, BoTW is far more polished in almost every way
This comparison video is just here to start arguments between the two games, we all know zelda won best game of the yr, nothing can take that away from it, its a really great game, genshin is a great game too, all this arguments are non sense, just have fun you're all stressing yourself over nothing.
Same bro, ive played both games and they are both amazing. And there is a lot more zelda botw "copy" game out there, i wont call it a copy ANYMORE because botw is literally a genre now.
I've played both, visually they resemble each other and have some similar mechanics but fundamentally they are completely different! Now stop comparing and enjoy both games.
Hear me out. Here is a completely honest review of Genshin Impact from a Breath of the Wild pro. First of, Breath of the Wild is one of my favourite games of all time and I am a huge fan of the Zelda series. I'm huge fan of fantasy and whimsy in general. I gotta say, Genshin Impact looks like a ambitious, younger sibling of Breath of the Wild and that's why it looks like it has massive wins going for it. Unfortunately it has some massive pitfalls that prevents it being as great and groundbreaking as Breath of the Wild. Genshin Impact looks very pretty and intresting, which is a great experience for a while, but as you continue playing it the more repetitive and grindy the world gets. As you're done exploring everywhere, the more the openworld feels empty. The only thing that is left are daily milestones that go nowhere. The Gacha system the game has is a some sort of a gambling method that taunts you to get yourselves pretty looking characters by buying ingame lootboxes, it is the most unfair thing about the game, the more you gain interest in it, the more you start to lose but you just can't let go of it that easily. Let's talk about the story. Genshin Impact is filled with a wide range of characters and cool JRPG/MMORPG gameplay elements. You should know people are having fun playing the game CO-OP with friends. Gliding and Climbing mechanics which are for exploration are ripped stright out of Breath of the Wild, but BOTW is still pretty fun and cool. The artstyle is the perfect example of what 3D anime should look like. The music is predictable but still pretty and soothing which creates a decent atmosphere for the game. As much as it has it's pros the much cons it has. The dialouge given feels a little off as it has very little to do with the actual context. It tries to make the characters look cool and beatiful but fails at giving them appareant character development that might have led the story to brand new heights. At least that is what happend so far. I'm seeing Genshin Impact ads everywhere I go and I can't help it but think, do they care more about promoting the game rather than making the game better? (Personally, I have always focused more on the storyline and character developement The game visibly released with an unfinished story that might take years to complete, the writers of the games' story focusing on how they are going to keep the story going and most importantly, how are they going to conclude it. This might result some massive plot holes that might ruin where the story leads to. The story of this game has so much potential so it would be bad to screw it up. As much as the game plays and feels great, some major parts of it feels unfair, generic and rushed, but it's also a breath of fresh air. Even though it has many problems, Genshin Impact is not a bad game. You can still play it for free for the good parts and put it down when you feel like you're finished, my advise, do not fall into the Gacha hell real quick. I'm giving Genshin Impact a solid 7,5/10. It's an alright game for the most part. Don't forget, this is just my opinion, everyone is free to say whatever they want. Here is the thing, both Breath of the Wild and Genshin Impact are very enjoyable games. You can still play both of them if you want. I advise you both of them. If you have read all of this, I really appreciate it. Have wonderful day and don't forget to stay healthy. Play, enjoy, love.
I agree, the reason why BOTW is the better game because it was made with much more effort considering it is a paid game. Genshin Impact has a lot to improve and I don't like the fact that people praise it so much. Don't get me wrong though, I have 3,000 hours in Genshin but I do still think there is a LOT that either needs to be fixed, or to be improved in different aspects of it as a video game, which is why it is free-to-play, it's not the best game there is. BOTW is game of the year material, I have never considered Genshin Impact as a Game of the Year material. Genshin Impact has either given me very joyful experiences or the most frustrating moments of my life from playing a video game.
imo if the art/design is good- it distracts me from the story. Although i do think that since the game would take years to finish (the main story) i sometimes forget what even happened. Itd be a better experience for new players that start when the whole thing is finished imo, since i think it would wrap up the lore a bit better and make it more memorable for the player. We cant do anything about that problem though… animation takes time. I do enjoy getting to know a characters story and stuff, but i’ll excuse this slight nuisance because this game really was mind blowing to me; as someone whos only ever played horribly animated mobile games and cant afford expensive pc games. This is my favourite so far.
As a genshin player, i agree with you too, even if graphics or story are great, they make it repetitive and I think that indeed they care about more for making money than making the game better and more interesting, I haven't had the opportunity to have botw because of money but im sure I will enjoy it the most
But still we gotta give it a little bit of time, genshin is a new game and its still making upgrades so we just need to wait and see how they improve the game
I think genshin and botw are only similar in terms of exploration and mechanics. Those who say genshin is just a copy have clearly never played it and only seen the trailers. Also a LOT of work is clearly put into genshin impact, reducing it to just a copy is disrespectful to all the people who work on it. Also above everything genshin is A GATCHA game, completely unrelated to botw.
@@sodasanimations2911 realistic? They are both FANTASY games none of them are realistic I think. Both are nice games and genshin is inspired by botw but it’s not a clone
Although many things do look and feel the same, I can't exactly say the combat mechanics feel the same, considering they have this whole element triangle system going on that encourages you to fight using multiple characters at a time. Unlike in botw where you just only have different weapons and three elemental abilities that don't work off one another. Then there's the fact genshin has a leveling system which not only includes your base level, but item levels, statue's levels, ect. Oh and I gotta mention how they took the health mechanic and actually improved it in my opinion. In botw, you can pop and swallow apples like there's no tomorrow. In Genshin, however, characters can only eat so much before they get full and can't eat anymore for a time. Basically keeps you from abusing that mechanic like you can in botw. Another fun thing they added, there are certain items and environments that really encourage you to interact with them in order to obtain or beat something. Like, there were these flowers that I couldn't grab at first, they spat fire, and I couldn't get it until I froze the flower. So there are like tiny little differences that I kinda appreciate and like. Then there were rocks and stones that when struck, aided in elemental combat. For example, striking a water stone gets enemies wet, making it easy to freeze them. In botw, interacting with the environment isn't too much encouraged, it's just there. You like , kinda forget to use it until you come across the eventide island shrine quest or the sword trials. Like seriously, outside those moments, I only shot frickin' bomb barrels in the environment, forgetting boulders, the stasis rune was an after thought..... A lot of things I didn't care to use since weapons, shields, and bows were my bread and butter. Genshin is fun, and I don't really care how similar it is too botw.
I haven't played it but it just looks like taking RPG elements you(as in devs) like and applying them to BOTW. Which doesn't seem bad, I think it's totally fine to take things you like and mash them together.
Well both games have grass, and the characters can walk, meaning they’re both direct clones of Minecraft.
you move with a controller so all video games are a clone of pong

Well the thing is a lot of these are expected from open world games sure it may be heavily inspired but if you play it for a while its quite different.
Source material gets a B.
Copy gets an A+. 😅
I played BotW for so many years, got tired of it after there was nothing else to do but still love the game. And when GI was released and BotW community was all worked up calling GI a "BotW copy", I actually believed and hated GI. But I got a PS5 and started playing Genshin around 4 months ago, and the similarities are so superficial and unimportant, I can't even believe people hated that game for something so silly. Right now I actually like GI more, the lore is really well developed and the variety of playable characters interest me more, even as a f2p player. Both games are great, have few similarities, but I wouldn't call Genshin a "BotW copy".
i agree it was just heavily inspired by it
Superficial and unimportant? Copying a games entire art design, style, concepts isn’t superficial and unimportant. There isn’t anything GI does that breath of the wild didn’t already do but better. Having 60 characters doesn’t make a game unique or significant. It’s for paywalls and nothing more. It’s ridiculous that it’s even a discussion on whether it’s a clone or not.

Id say its like the difference between Street fighter and Mortal Kombat sure both are 2d fighting games were you pit 2 characters against each other. both have similer controls and Mechanics and story advancement. the same can be said for Genshin Impact and BotW both are Exploration ARPGs with with similer controls and Map reveals . Both have very different stories and both do different things in there own way. Same Genre Different game. I see no Copyright issue.
After all the controversy its funny to think about how awkward were the meeting with the developers and Nintendo to put Genshin Impact on Switch
They don’t have a meeting lol. They just apply for approval. Do you think all the shitty games on Switch had a meeting with Nintedo staff to approve their games?

For me however, the only reason I love both is that both are fun to play.
The only thing I hate about both is their community. For instance, When Genshin was first announced, BOTW community went ape sh*t on a "free" game...and Genshin because it's community on Twitter is just absolutely idiotic or, like usual, talking dumb for clouts.
Both are good but both have their ups and downs
@@khandykiller4054 yeah this was idiotic but people didn't understand everything cause they saw the trailer only so i apologise for BOTW fans
@@critlel7606 It's fine fam. I'll apologies for Genshin fans because of those Twitter peeps that are idiot.
Honestly when Genshin first started, it did feel and look extremely similar to BotW, to the point that when I saw a video of Genshin when it first released, I thought it was BotW at first. But although it really seemed WAY too similar when it first released, at this point it's pretty clear that Genshin has evolved to become its own very distinct and unique entity.
For one, I'd say BotW is much more of a survival/puzzle-solving game than Genshin, which is more of a fighting game. BotW has Link with all sorts of functions and items that you have to think creatively on how to maximise your different runes and weapons in battle, or even outside battle. There's a lot of focus on finding new and creative ways of doing stuff, like dropping metal crates on enemies. It's more realistic, with trees being literally destroyed when you cut them down, literally anything can catch on fire... (the good old way of dropping apples into fire to cook them, I was surprised when shooting a bird with Amber's charged shot didn't turn it directly into roasted chicken).
Genshin focuses more on the different characters because of course it's a gacha game, and the different synergies in different team comps, and it's definitely much heavier on the fighting than BotW.
Damn mans pulled up with the dictionary
Botw makes you think about creative aprouches to face your enemy's while in genshin impact you just need to press mouse one while switching characters and throwing their abilities without any skill evolved or any other option to face them
BOTW still has the better fighting system even though it's not as focused on fighting as Genshin
and also "BotW has Link with all sorts of functions and items that you have to think creatively on how to maximise your different runes and weapons in battle" Isn't that like a main aspect of Genshin? Getting good artifacts and finding the best set of weapons, team combinations etc.
@@starstenaal527 Eh.... They are aiming for pretty much completely different styles of combat, so it's difficult to really compare them. BotW's more Technical, while GI's more Arcadey, especially if you factor in the optional multiplayer.

@adrian guzman uhhhhhhhhh, what? I nver even heard any of those words in the community
I still don't understand why people argue so much about this two games, there are a lot of games that for mechanics and graphics style are really similar, but no one complain about those title, and anyway, there is no copyright on graphics style or mechanics because if it was a thing, than for example every game with Cell Shading should be considered plagiarism. There is copyright on stories, names, characters, Maps or regions, but Mihoyo didn't copied hyrule map, or link character, or enemies design, they just implemented open world mechanics and used Cell Shading.
Saying that genshin impact copied botw it's nonsensical because one is a gacha game with open world more combat oriented, the other is an open world game focused on delivering the best experience in exploration (let's be honest, Botw world is more alive and with more physics and possibilities), so comparing the two it's just useless.

Well yes to everything except the part with copying enemies. You maybe shouldn’t count on that part.
Yep, Genshin is more grindy since it's a free game and more focused on milking money for waifus/husbandos and leveling them, while BOTW is a paid experience for people who like the Zelda franchise. Just because one game pioneered a style doesn't mean it should be the only game with that style. If we kept that shitty mindset videogame genres wouldn't exist because only 1 game is allowed to have that genre.

pretty much, because It's a whole different genre, Zelda is a full complete story, and open world game, while genshin is a online Gacha game, with a story that isn't finished... at all, we've gotta at least wait for YEARS until the whole story is finish, like Honkai Impact as an example, I wish MiHoyo could've just finished the whole story immediately, rather than wait for months before the new updates came

Similarities I found:
Explosive barrels: Explosive barrels can be found in both games, and both explosive, but they have their own different designs.
Stamina: You use stamina to run, glide, climb, and swim. All decrease stamina.
Wind Currents: You will have to activate/find a wind current to glide along.
Wind gliders: Wind Gliders are used to specifically fly along wind currents, or just to glide freely.
Enemy camps: The enemy camps are a little similar.

@@albertli1137 Zhongli and Beidou (Who kick their weapon sometimes): Allow us to introduce ourselves
Well let's see...
Genshin
• More accessibility (thank God, you can even play it on phone)
• Free to play (kinda)
• Better story
• Better combat mechanics
• Lots of playable characters
• Tougher bosses (or easier, depending on your build)
• Lots of minigames and weekly events to earn prices (well it's an online game after all)
• It's an RPG first and an open world game second. The game is more combat focused, it's map has a higher enemy density that botw. But the exploration is really restricted by the adventure rank system
BOTW
• Exclusive (oh come on nintendo, I had to borrow a friend's switch to play this)
• Paid
• Better open world (open world games are supposed to give you a sense of freedom, in genshin the newer areas and the later story quests are restricted by adventure ranks. But in botw after you complete the tutorial and get the glider you can go anywhere anytime. hell you can even face the final boss if you want to lol, but don't do that he'll kick your ass)
• Better music
• Just one playable character (but he can use any weapon)
• Better dungeons (I don't think it's even a competition, the Zelda series are known for the awesome dungeons)
• Most importantly, better replay value
• BOTW is more focused on exploration than combat. The enemy density is much less, but the amount of stuff to explore is insane. Even four years after it's release people are finding new stuff even nowadays
I am not gonna compare graphics cuz it depends on the player. Lot's of people like genshin graphics more cuz of it's anime style world. But I personally love the botw world as the more realistic graphics makes the world feel alive
Now the grinding in botw is pretty easy, enemies respawn during blood moons which occur every 2 - 3 hours (real world time) of gameplay. Weapons in botw breaks and you may or may not get them back, weapons found in shrines will not respawn whereas the weapons found in the open world respawn with every blood moon. In genshin weapons never break, but if you are not careful you might get broke while trying to pull for a 5 star weapon. Grinding in genshin is based on a resin system which is kinda frustrating as grinding is also rng based. I talk about this from personal experience after all those hours spent on grinding artifacts only to get some defense substats all the time. Some of the bosses can only be looted once a week, which is the most frustrating thing about grinding in genshin. That being said as the weapons never break in genshin you can choose any playstyle you want and stick with it, whereas in botw you have to adapt constaly thoughout the fight against bosses as weapons break and the new one you are switching to may not be of the same type (thank God the master sword does not break, although it needs to recharge after a while of fighting)
As much as I like genshin, I really feel bad for the newer players who pulled Raiden Shogun at low adventure rank levels. They gotta wait a long time to build her up. I only hope the situation doesn't get worse when newer regions come out
now this is a great and unbiased comparison. though i need to point out the physic as well, that aspect is what makes BoTW better than Genshin Impact in my opinion

@@airfloresjp you are soo biased lmao.
I mean botw storyline revolves around a character named link, who is the guard of princess zelda. And one day calamity ganon attacked, basically ending hyrule. 100 years later link is awakened from his sleep. A mysterious old man thought him the basics and revealed he was the ghost of the former king, links goal is the save Hyrule and the four beast which has a fragment of calamity ganon, he also went to retrieve his memory and master sword. With this he went to see the zoras, Goron, gerudo, rito, etc. He defeated the 4 fragments of ganon.
Mipha a zora, daruk a Goron, Urbosa a gerudo, revali a rito. And of course link a hylian. These are the 4 champions who will defeat calamity ganon but ultimately defeated. Now link freed the souls of the champions and the champions gave link their Blessing, and help to finally defeat ganon. He retrieves the master sword. Now he's ready he defeats the first form of ganon with the help of the champions and now calamity ganons true form has awaken, with the help of zelda link defeats ganon and zelda seals him away, now in zelda return link and here with rebuild hyrule.
There is more than that like MORE a storyline spanning over 30 years i can't cover them all. Also link was injured and was put in a shrine to heal for 100 years and only awaken when the time is right. Q/A me.

To be honest after playing both games, I still think that BOTW has better combat and gameplay, especially with those slow motion mechanic, and it feels very satisfying. Though the weapon breaking is kind of irritating, I still prefer it over Genshin. I’m saving for Ayaka and Cyno, I hope I win the 50/50
They made weapon breaking so fast to make players use every weapon that existed in entire Hyrule.
Yeah i hoped in tears of kingdom weapons not broken so easy, that the only downside that i have with botw, i know they trying to make player more strategic of what weapon player used, but not like break after 30 hits dude
@@gunawanputera6443 I think it's balanced cuz otherwise ur gonna keep using the same broken weapon while switching between the best depending on your situation fits BOTW better
I play botw on Cemu emulator for the sole purpose of increasing weapon durability. I still bought the game to support it but its a deal breaker for me. I understand the point of the game is to try different weapons but its annoying how fast they break
I just saw a reply section with people arguing that genshin is bad because not everyone can afford it and that genshin players need a good device like a 1000$ phone or 5000$ pc to actually run the game. That's hilarious because buying the gacha currency is optional and every character can become a good dps/tank/support, and don't switch players need to pay for the switch and game first to play it?
Both games need a device to play and can be played without needing to pay for anything ingame so I don't get why that is still an argument
Tbh you don’t need a expensive device to play Genshin
I didn’t see one person saying that. You can get it on ps4, ps5, android, i0s, Nintendo switch and pc but if your playing it on a switch destroy the game (you take that anyway) and play botw cos it’s literally 150x better. I saw the trailer for genshin on my phone and wasn’t surprised that a mobile game would copy a masterpiece of a game then I saw it on ps4 so I decided to get it and see how good it was and didn’t actually know it was a literal direct copy at the time. I played for about 3 hours actually fine by it at first being exactly like botw because I was hoping it would be a masterpiece but no it’s just a shittier clunkier version with less fun gameplay, combat and story ect. 98% of people wouldn’t even want to touch that game if they knew how bad it was compared to botw like seriously just get botw or just don’t say that the game that completely ripped off a masterpiece and turned it mediocre was better and just stfu.

The movement in Genshin Impact, in my opinion, is less stiff. The characters move more freely, especially when you change directions while walking and coming to a halt. Loz:Botw Links movement is more, shall I say, realistic when it comes to running 😂 But its a little stiff. Other then that, both of em are great games and worth the play.
it does looks stiff compare to genshin, but BoTW movements feels more intuitive and reponsive when you actually play it imo
Well it is on console after all
If it was also on pc the gameplay would not be that stiff
@@ixoku8219 Looks stiff ≠ feels stiff, the main reason ppl think genshin plays smoother is because BoTW is locked at 30fps while Genshin Impact can be played in 60fps. I played both games with a controller, and i personally think that BoTW plays smoother, just by how much you tilt the analog stick can greatly affect how fast you walk or sprint, when you stop pushing the analog, Link will immediately stop. I can’t say the same thing for Genshin Impact though, even when i stopped tilting the analog stick, sometimes the characters still moves
@@ixoku8219 No, that’s not what the developers intended to do, that’s game design flaw, it’s not about realism, in a game, you want the control to be as precise as possible. When the characters doesnt stop immediately, it’s a huge problem when solving puzzles in video games, and i’ve felt this many times in Genshin Impact.
Furthermore on your point, Genshin Impact doesnt have more movement animations than BoTW, it’s the other way around, BoTW has so many animations for just walking and sprinting, the movement speed progressively increases depending on how far you tilt the analog stick, while in Genshin Impact, there’s only 2 animation for walking and sprinting respectively. Genshin Impact looks smoother merely because the game is played on 60fps, when that’s not neccesarily the case in reality, BoTW is actually far more smoother and responsive in almost every aspect excluding the frame rate
I know it sounded like me fanboying on BoTW, but i’ve played both games extensively and i like both games almost equally, but Genshin Impact really doesnt stand a chance against BoTW when it comes to quality control, BoTW is far more polished in almost every way
This comparison video is just here to start arguments between the two games, we all know zelda won best game of the yr, nothing can take that away from it, its a really great game, genshin is a great game too, all this arguments are non sense, just have fun you're all stressing yourself over nothing.

I do sign up for that.
Hear me out. Here is a completely honest review of Genshin Impact from a Breath of the Wild pro. First of, Breath of the Wild is one of my favourite games of all time and I am a huge fan of the Zelda series. I'm huge fan of fantasy and whimsy in general. I gotta say, Genshin Impact looks like a ambitious, younger sibling of Breath of the Wild and that's why it looks like it has massive wins going for it. Unfortunately it has some massive pitfalls that prevents it being as great and groundbreaking as Breath of the Wild.
Genshin Impact looks very pretty and intresting, which is a great experience for a while, but as you continue playing it the more repetitive and grindy the world gets. As you're done exploring everywhere, the more the openworld feels empty. The only thing that is left are daily milestones that go nowhere. The Gacha system the game has is a some sort of a gambling method that taunts you to get yourselves pretty looking characters by buying ingame lootboxes, it is the most unfair thing about the game, the more you gain interest in it, the more you start to lose but you just can't let go of it that easily.
Let's talk about the story. Genshin Impact is filled with a wide range of characters and cool JRPG/MMORPG gameplay elements. You should know people are having fun playing the game CO-OP with friends. Gliding and Climbing mechanics which are for exploration are ripped stright out of Breath of the Wild, but BOTW is still pretty fun and cool. The artstyle is the perfect example of what 3D anime should look like. The music is predictable but still pretty and soothing which creates a decent atmosphere for the game. As much as it has it's pros the much cons it has.
The dialouge given feels a little off as it has very little to do with the actual context. It tries to make the characters look cool and beatiful but fails at giving them appareant character development that might have led the story to brand new heights. At least that is what happend so far. I'm seeing Genshin Impact ads everywhere I go and I can't help it but think, do they care more about promoting the game rather than making the game better? (Personally, I have always focused more on the storyline and character developement
The game visibly released with an unfinished story that might take years to complete, the writers of the games' story focusing on how they are going to keep the story going and most importantly, how are they going to conclude it. This might result some massive plot holes that might ruin where the story leads to. The story of this game has so much potential so it would be bad to screw it up.
As much as the game plays and feels great, some major parts of it feels unfair, generic and rushed, but it's also a breath of fresh air. Even though it has many problems, Genshin Impact is not a bad game. You can still play it for free for the good parts and put it down when you feel like you're finished, my advise, do not fall into the Gacha hell real quick. I'm giving Genshin Impact a solid 7,5/10. It's an alright game for the most part. Don't forget, this is just my opinion, everyone is free to say whatever they want.
Here is the thing, both Breath of the Wild and Genshin Impact are very enjoyable games. You can still play both of them if you want. I advise you both of them.
If you have read all of this, I really appreciate it. Have wonderful day and don't forget to stay healthy. Play, enjoy, love.
I agree, the reason why BOTW is the better game because it was made with much more effort considering it is a paid game. Genshin Impact has a lot to improve and I don't like the fact that people praise it so much. Don't get me wrong though, I have 3,000 hours in Genshin but I do still think there is a LOT that either needs to be fixed, or to be improved in different aspects of it as a video game, which is why it is free-to-play, it's not the best game there is. BOTW is game of the year material, I have never considered Genshin Impact as a Game of the Year material. Genshin Impact has either given me very joyful experiences or the most frustrating moments of my life from playing a video game.
imo if the art/design is good- it distracts me from the story. Although i do think that since the game would take years to finish (the main story) i sometimes forget what even happened. Itd be a better experience for new players that start when the whole thing is finished imo, since i think it would wrap up the lore a bit better and make it more memorable for the player. We cant do anything about that problem though… animation takes time. I do enjoy getting to know a characters story and stuff, but i’ll excuse this slight nuisance because this game really was mind blowing to me; as someone whos only ever played horribly animated mobile games and cant afford expensive pc games. This is my favourite so far.
@@crystalwu7400 I actually bought a steam deck few days ago, you can play all the game you want there, even Breath of the Wild
As a genshin player, i agree with you too, even if graphics or story are great, they make it repetitive and I think that indeed they care about more for making money than making the game better and more interesting, I haven't had the opportunity to have botw because of money but im sure I will enjoy it the most
But still we gotta give it a little bit of time, genshin is a new game and its still making upgrades so we just need to wait and see how they improve the game
I play and love both games. The only problem is WE CANT PET THE DOGS (and cats for Genshin)
I played genshin cause i was told its an mmo, but its a lie. You can invite your friend there tho which is only mildly disappointing
@@SpoogieDerpington invite your friend to where?
isnt there llike coop in that game
where you can join random people????

@@SpoogieDerpington its kindof mmo but ye its a lie its just rpg imo

“It’s not a clone bcoz u can’t cut grass in Genshin impact”
So this game is trash!
(I'm just joking k? the game looks cool)
No, no, he got a point.
Rip off the wild
And you cant shield surf.
Lool
I think genshin and botw are only similar in terms of exploration and mechanics. Those who say genshin is just a copy have clearly never played it and only seen the trailers. Also a LOT of work is clearly put into genshin impact, reducing it to just a copy is disrespectful to all the people who work on it. Also above everything genshin is A GATCHA game, completely unrelated to botw.
@@sodasanimations2911 realistic? They are both FANTASY games none of them are realistic I think. Both are nice games and genshin is inspired by botw but it’s not a clone
@@sodasanimations2911 yeah but I like Genshin s brighter colours
@@sodasanimations2911 sorry? Why did you type in all caps, are mad at me stating my opinion?

Although many things do look and feel the same, I can't exactly say the combat mechanics feel the same, considering they have this whole element triangle system going on that encourages you to fight using multiple characters at a time. Unlike in botw where you just only have different weapons and three elemental abilities that don't work off one another.
Then there's the fact genshin has a leveling system which not only includes your base level, but item levels, statue's levels, ect.
Oh and I gotta mention how they took the health mechanic and actually improved it in my opinion. In botw, you can pop and swallow apples like there's no tomorrow. In Genshin, however, characters can only eat so much before they get full and can't eat anymore for a time. Basically keeps you from abusing that mechanic like you can in botw.
Another fun thing they added, there are certain items and environments that really encourage you to interact with them in order to obtain or beat something. Like, there were these flowers that I couldn't grab at first, they spat fire, and I couldn't get it until I froze the flower. So there are like tiny little differences that I kinda appreciate and like. Then there were rocks and stones that when struck, aided in elemental combat. For example, striking a water stone gets enemies wet, making it easy to freeze them.
In botw, interacting with the environment isn't too much encouraged, it's just there. You like , kinda forget to use it until you come across the eventide island shrine quest or the sword trials. Like seriously, outside those moments, I only shot frickin' bomb barrels in the environment, forgetting boulders, the stasis rune was an after thought..... A lot of things I didn't care to use since weapons, shields, and bows were my bread and butter.
Genshin is fun, and I don't really care how similar it is too botw.
so. ur hating on botw?

Commenter: I like Genshin Impact!
You: SO YOU HATE BOTW
Bruh
@@arlenedistel1108 I never said I hated botw. Don't go putting words in people's mouths.
"Improves health mechanic by making it more restricitve in order to prevent abuse on this carefully planned gacha system" FTFY
I haven't played it but it just looks like taking RPG elements you(as in devs) like and applying them to BOTW. Which doesn't seem bad, I think it's totally fine to take things you like and mash them together.
I feel like Genshin and botw just have core elements of an open world game and all of the main similarities are in the tutorial

Midna: "Oi."
Only Genshin Impact has a lovely sound when *Lisa Climbing*

I love both and play Genshin regularly but for me BOTW will always be superior
True
Same i grind GI everyday but i wont miss it if i quit it someday unlike botw thats always on my mind. I have such fond memories of playing botw
I prefer gi
@@kingyoongs891 I begin ago few days with genshin impact and I have very fun with that Zelda I don't play one of these games really
Same I prefer botw. Genshin is still cool but I got bored of it after awhile due to the amount of grinding required.
I can’t believe that no one mentions the fact that piemon thing is literally Navi
More like midna
