@gamingdevil800: Honestly it likely just comes down to milking the popularity of the show for one more year, think of all the sales of things they'll get beyond just what money the show makes directly.
Loving the game so far. I find it funny that I'm probably 40 hours into it and I'm still wandering around in the original rags found in the Shrine of Resurrection lol. I'm sure I've missed some clothier in passing, but I'm honestly trying not to rush anything, or take any hints tips or tricks, instead finding things on my own, organically.
Easily the best Zelda title, which says a lot...played them all. The feeling of discovery on my first play through of Breath of the Wild is one I think I'll remember for a very long time.
@westsiderz28: Wholeheartedly agree. My top 3 before this were LttP, followed by Windwaker and original NES The Legend of Zelda. But as I play Breath of the Wild, I was almost having to pinch myself....almost like how could it be that this newest Zelda title could just swoop in and instantly become my new favorite Zelda game?
At a point where I basically had stopped buying open world games because of how long it takes to finish them and how lost I get eventually losing interest....wandering in an open world game has never been so interesting to me. What a fun game. I'd also say I'm a little surprised at how difficult it can be at points. Link has been one-shotted countless times lol
@darkninja66613: Been playing this with my son, it's definitely harder than any Zelda I've ever played. I've played it enough of it to say that in my opinion this game It's quite possibly one of the best games ever made. If you enjoy a good time gaming, you'd be crazy to write this one off because of your impressions formed just merely by watching some videos. I'd say you need a least a few hours with it for it to hit its stride.
I usually bore easily of open world fetch quest games. But this one feels special to me. I'm purposely avoiding most information and tip sheets so it leaves much to be figured out. I can see myself playing this game for quite some time and enjoying the balance of action and tranquility it has to offer.
@IanNottinghamX: seriously, 3 hrs was practically the time it took for my kiddos and I to move on from enjoying blowing up Bokoblins and rolling the trees we just chopped down down hills. Such a fun game.
@StryderK: Love this, had a similar fire arrows meet explosive barrels incident as well. It basically vaporized all the wimpy Bokoblins, leaving the leader for me to deal with alone. The best part was they were camping and partying in a Skull-shaped cave, the explosion from the barrels was so big it came busting out the eyes and mouth of the cave in flashy purpley amazement. My young son was literally ROFL :) Worth every penny for that moment!
@Phazevariance: I told myself I'll go for Zelda all by itself. And that's okay with me. I preordered the game without even a preorder for the console yet. It's sort of a done deal in my mind.
