#ZeldaTearsoftheKingdom #ZeldaTOTK #NorZZa - Hry
Which game is your favourite? BotW or TotK?
i enjoy both of em but i can care less for Hyrule Warios Age of Calamity
Knack 2 baby!
(great video👍)
Tears easily
Tears of the Kingdom is so good it's hard to remember why Breath of the Wild is so good.
The feeling starting breath was epic but tears takes the game to a new level
I cannot fathom saying this.......but damn I miss Guardians, and other Shieka tech in TOTK. That being said.....the amount of just absolute exploration of more, more, and did I say more.....!
So there is a thing giving TOTK an edge. But they are two completely different games, that are both stellar.
Love totk, but the feeling of childlike wonder, amazement and exploration couldn’t be recreated in the same world. It can’t be beat
I understand but Tears _is_ the Official sequel, so that 'blow' is much lightened. In fact, TOTK gave me the opposite effect. Wheras Breath just felt empty and annoying with it's feeble references (a lot carved into random collapsed stone murals since the game is post-apocalyptic), TOTK felt alive and full of rich references that struck me. And from so many beautiful scenes and vistas, I'm constantly reminded of iconic games like ALTTP.
@@netweed09 I guess it really depends where you’re seeing it from and what you value most in a game
@@amphibian2982 I want to agree but Breath literally had _so_ much less than Tears, it's not even funny! It more appealed to the Casual gamers, that's why it took off over the C0vid period. It had barely any real Zelda based action, no Dungeons etc, it was a very fuss free empty space where Link could simply flew the Switch hardware and test an Open world, like a demo. It catered so well to the non-Zelda fan who did not care much about Sages, Temples etc.
Tears stands on the shoulders of Breath, but that lets it soar to the heights I always wanted Breath to reach. Sometimes in Breath it felt like I was just shrine hopping; in tears, shrines aren't so centralizing. There are so many good side quests, collectables, and just things to explore that aren't tied to Shrines at all. It's the most densely packed open world game I've ever plaued
The fuse ability is one of my favorite additions because just like you said, we now have a reason to kill enemies, in botw we could use the monster parts for elixirs... but I dont Think i ever made or needed to make an elixir in botw besides that elixir for the volcano that was part of the main quest. In TOTK we are compelled to kill enemies to get monster parts so we can make stronger weapons, I think that's so cool, and it gives the game an amazing aspect of creativity and strategy.
For example, there is this tower that you can get to by simply flying to it and skipping the enemies, but still I decided to kill the enemies because I needed their parts.
I'm so happy that I am no longer accumulating 400 keese eyeballs that do nothing in my inventory.
Well, you did have to kill some enemies to open chests and collect loot, and to sell their parts for money. I think BOTW's incentive for the player was decent enough.
That and, after a certain point the monster parts become commonplace, and the power they bring to fused weapons has diminishing returns, given an average lizal horn for example is absolutely useless next to a stallnox horn later on in the game.
I mean, realistically, how many blue moblin horns have you used outside the first few hours.
@@AltairEgo1 i wrote that comment when I was just beginning to play, now I have almost 100 hours of gameplay and I agree. It still suffers from the same problem as botw but to a far far lesser extent. I never fuse weapons with green lizalfos stuff or blue bokoblin stuff, they are just accumulating there, i dont even use them for arrows, bombs are an absolute killer especially if you have a lynel ×5 bow.
It made _all_ the difference to me. And I couldn't agree more with 7:30 , he explains Tears' vast improvements Perfectly. And that's one of _many_ of TOTK's vast improvements over Breath of the Bland. Don't even get me started of the totally significant changes to the Main Quests and how involved you feel , especially with characters like Yunobo who's story is totally transformed from a total chore, to someone you genuinely care for.
oh it’s not even close… botw was simply amazing … nothing will ever change that feeling of watching its trailer for the first time, waking up in the shrine of resurrection and walking out into this new world…. but totk blows breath out of the water… i don’t want to make this comment too long but … it was worth the delays… everything about this game is just
mind blowing… i remember jumping into a chasm thinking it would be instant death and realized i was still falling so i pulled out my glider and realized there was an ENTIRE UNDERGROUND MAP AS BIG AS THE ONE ABOVE. let that sink in… we got a map almost identical to the one before but with changes that are worth exploring… then there’s just new map. it’s fucking insane . like how? how did they keep this so quiet? its crazy and then you take into account the zonai abilities fuse and ultrahand make for some insane original ideas … it just blows my mind that they did it . i didn’t expect not to love it…. but i also didn’t expect for me to really really love it… like it’s probably at my 3nd favorite … it’s so much better than breath … and breath is literally perfect… so take it as you will
I am absolutely falling in love with Tears Of The Kingdom. It’s slowly becoming one of my favorite games I’ve ever played
Bro me to man, ive lost myself so many times in that game of the marvelness creativity style and Music, im half Egyptian Totk replicated the style of ancient egypt in such an elegant way so man people misses the style and art this game has, its really phenomenal that a world this big and has its own style.
In botw I was afraid of weapons breaking. In Totk I wanted weapons to break so I could get new cool abilities
botw main story was 100% better then totk tbh the only memorable part about the story was zelda turning into a dragon in botw the story is just so much better zeldas frustration becuase she cant activate her powers, the relationship between zelda and link, when zelda started crying in links arms and the final scene where link was about to collaspe and was willing to die for zelda and zelda finally activating her power becuase of her love for him totk story really dosent hold up to botw even the champions are much more intresting then the sages
TotK mainline story would be way better than BotW story if it wasn't because of the champions. In Breath of the Wild Zelda is a kind of a shallow character and her development is that of a children's cartoon character. The champions, in the other hand have their own personallity (except the american localization killed it). But overall I would give a drawn beacuse although the side charachters of the mainline story in BotW are really good, TotK has more interesting side quests and an actual antagonist.
Tears is better. As someone whos first Zelda game was breath of the Wild, and after beating Tears, i have to give it to Tears. Even though Breath of the Wild will always have a special place in my heart.
Go back and play the old ones! They kill both botw and totk.
@@Truthbomb7 I wouldn't say kill, but some of them are damn good. A game that gives me a similar feeling of mystery and epicness like botw and totk is definitely A Link To The Past
@Jose Santos Yeah look they are almost completely different games botw and totk in comparison to past titles. Totk feels more Zelda like though so I believe it's better than botw. I think the next game should be about half the size map of what botw was but make it dense. The game will still feel huge and have even more to do than what totk does in that massive map. Content over size wins any day. Totk is good but still can feel too empty at times, I get that it's open world so it needs some empty space and repetitiveness to fill the map but that's why i think Zelda maps shouldn't be too big in the first place, the smaller maps suit the franchise so much more that's why games like OOT, MM, TP are unmatched imo. Will still feel "open" because the map will be much bigger than games like OOT etc but feel more alive, never seeing the same thing twice in the game (like past titles) would make for the perfect Zelda game. The 2D Zelda games are awesome too ofcourse.
Try playing the old ones. You're going to love them
My first Zelda game that I really played and completed was botw too but now afterwards I have played the older games too like Zelda 1, link to the past, links awakening on gba, oot, Majora's mask and Zelda 2 though that last one is pretty bad but I love link to the past and links awakening never really fell for the old 3d games tho
BOTW is better and it’s not even close. The impact it’s made on the gaming community, and open-world games more specifically is massive. TOTK refined some stuff, but honestly, the curiosity of “what’s that?” is completely gone. The story is probably the worst in the series, including BOTW, and the temples are just as bad as BOTWs.
I have no motivation to upgrade, explore, or complete the story in any way. The Depths is all one big biome. The Sky has less in it than in Skyward Sword, and the overworld itself has already been a explored. The lack of explanation for the missing Sheikah tech is unforgivable imo, and no it’s not all in the towers. Hundreds of Guardians, Hundreds of Shrines, and 5 whole ass divine beasts just gone???
And the Mastersword is back to dogshit, again. When we had the opportunity to up the damage or increase the durability.
completely agree. BOTW would be better without TOTK and vice versa. Tears truly hurt the quality of both games. It’s just quantity over quality. And whay you said about the skies is so true. I love the seamless transition in TOTK but thay’s it. Skyward Sword did the skies better in every other way
It doesn't matter, Uncle Ben. Link's Crossbow Training is better than both of them
BoTW > totk
Both are great for me but for me the new enemies on TotK it’s amazing I love how u can battle this big boss in the sky and I love the enemies as well
Amazing videos. It is incredible thank you 🎉
People will say that TOTK is better, cause of the hype, but generally BOTW is a lot better.
The mechanics are more simple and used in a lot more meaningful ways, the exploration is better since everything is on just one map, so you always feel like you in the right place.
TOTK feels complicated, the sages are jenky to use, they don't feel powerful, the building mechanics is fun, but also is very slow, always stoping you progress just so you buid something, mechanics like the recal ans ascent I was always forgetting I had, since the world just don't offer a lot of opportunities for you to used. The exploration is good, but not great, since everything you find is basically another version of Breath of the wild, in breath of the wild everything was new, in totk, not even half of he things are new, same enemies and even the new enemies gets old really fast.
Anyway, Breath of the wild is almost a perfect game, every mechanic feels useful, the wold always feels new, you have more reasons to explore, it's just better.
Botw can played with eyes closed. Once you become powered up. The game is easy. Its a reason people loved eventide island. We are past hype. Totk has proved itself to be a worthy sequel.
@@thesis-and-nieces6722 what? But TOTK is extremely easy, specially the bosses, they barely attack you, they just stand there waiting for you to attack it.
Also the mini bosses are more easy, since you already know how to fight them, or you gonna lie to me and say you died for a lynel in totk?
BOTW you so get Overpowered at the end, but I think that's very rewarding since in the beginning, the game can be very challenging. TOTK improved in a lot of things, but difficulty was not one of them.
Fact
@@thesis-and-nieces6722you can say that about any game. In Tears, you can immediately go to Hyrule Castle and fuse royal weapons for easy kills.
So yeah, you can beat any game without trying if you immediately go for all the broken gear and whatnot.
? It's not 'hype' , is that an opinion? Tears of the Kingdom is objectively better than Breath. Leaps and bounds ahead in nearly _every_ department! I don't even miss the Remote bombs, as they made Botw far too cheap and easy, just blowing everything that wasn't a Lynel off a cliff or into a river pffffffff lol!! And don't even get me started on the improvements to the Main Quests (now with actual Dungeons, not those bland hollow for-show machines!)
TotK has kept me for now for 25 hours, and will continue to, and
I haven’t progressed in the story (only one memory, no dungeon), and even after so much time it feels like I’ve experienced what, 1/50th or 1/100th of the game?
Time truly does vanish
Wow, nice lol! 👍 TOTK knocks 10 shades out of Breath for me, I could not _stand_ that borefest of a game! Was it even a Zelda game?! As someone who's on a 2nd (and much more thorough playthrough) of Tears, I can say that yes, 1/50th is about right if you want the most Popular and Best upgrades & armor, lol.
And I'm no where _near_ any sort of completionist!
definitely liked BOTW more. TOTK only could be better if someone hadn’t played the first or if BOTW never existed
Tears is better because until I learned how to get better at combat, I actually feared going into enemy camps. And this is after I played Master Mode on BOTW for the first time this spring. And I feared going into the depths. At first, I thought the fuse ability was silly, but then I saw how it made me have to think more with my weapons more than BOTW could. It's brilliant! And you cant easily rely on the blue bombs from BOTW.
I never see anyone mention how much more difficult TotK is than BotW. I found myself dying far more often in TotK, mostly because they don't give you the best armor set in the game within the first hour of leaving the Great Plateau for dirt cheap. I know you can decide not to use it but 95% of players will on their first playthrough and it completely trivializes the difficulty after an upgrade or two.
Well seeing how the comments are I do agree that BOTW has more of the lone-wolf vibes and it felt more "refreshing" but thats because most of us played it first. You were the "Hero of the Wild" (no pun intended) exploring the wild meanwhile most people didn't know who you are. While in TOTK you are already known as the hero. In my experience for life-of-quality, battle mechanics, and many ways how you can approach in Hyrule CLEARLY TOTK is better than BOTW. Its true that BOTW does give more nostalgia if you played it first but whether that means anything to you it varies to each individual. In TOTK there were some nostalgia references in the music like the colergea boss fight and when link is humming meanwhile he cooks food. No one talks about this but the "nostalgia vibes" you can still revisit those "moments" in TOTK because its literally the same world just feels slightly different. I mean it applies in the real world as well how a few years things can look slightly different or somethings feels "changed" and I'm sure this same applies in BOTW to TOTK. But lets be real here TOTK just feels more impactful on WHEREVER or WHATEVER you do and I think thats what matters the most. TOTK gives more purpose to go after enemies and nothing is useless in your inventory because it has meaning. Story wise or lore thats really subjective and preference. Overall BOTW in my opinion feels more like a demo like a good introduction to the Zelda series meanwhile TOTK feels like the complete game. TOTK has (mostly) everything from BOTW and ontop of that it has more content added. The only thing I missed from BOTW is just the previous champions and the horse teleport DLC ability.
Would you recommend a new player to jump straight TOTK?
Especially when I have only enough time for one?
Also wpuld you say buying the switch this late into its cycle worth it just for TOTK ?
I would say yes bc their is other games like Metroid prime remaster. I would play breath of the wild first: it’s the better game between the two actually. I know your hearing otherwise online, but play both for yourselves and make your own judgment. Might as well start at the first one
@@liamflan9553 Is BOTW better because its less bloated maybe ?
sometimes less is more. Ideally I would only play one of them due to time constraints.
@@HeelPower200 Yes, it's definitely worth buying a switch for and you can definitely play Totk without even playing the first game. It's also a far better game than botw was in every way imo.
@@HeelPower200 I disagree. If I had started w TOTK I think I’d have gotten overwhelmed and put it down. BOTW starts out less intimidating, and personally I like the storyline in BOTW. Overall I feel that TOTK is a more advanced/complex game, that is easier to consume if already used to the out of the box thinking learned from earlier Zelda games. JMO 😊
no i’d recommend BOTW. save your money. just play that game, it’ll be fun on its own. And save your money. TOTK is quantity over quality
I miss some stuff about Botw, but TotK has new stuff to do. But oddly one of my first thoughts (after I realized at least 4 years have passed since Botw), I was wondering if Link will be allowed to have a Noble Pursuit at the Gerudo bar this time around.
Ya you can get it but you have to give it to some Gerudo girl to make her feel motivated to talk to you 💀💀
Personally botw for me objectively totk for sure. Totk took botw foundation and expanded it so much we couldnt even imagine. Botw however touched me with its completely new open world to explore for the first time ever and in my own opinion
botw champions>>>>>>> totk sages. The champions just seem to have better bonds with each other than the sages do.
This. I miss champions so much, but not because of their abilities. I just want to see them again :(
@@eevris5895 because botw actually cared about the characters and Totk… I hate to say this… but Totk does not care about the characters.
"Objectively" Botw is better.
Hard disagree on the champion opinion. In fact, sorry but _Objectively_ how could _anyone_ with a pulse have cared one hair about Yunobo in the 1st game?? In Tears , the Trailer really scared me to see him return - but the Main Quest and the Region and Yunobo himself were _totally_ transformed! I actually cared about the guy! The setting and whole ''YunoboCo'' scenario was _Genius._ And scaling Goron Mountain with the Minecarts was so intuitive.
I am also basically a maniac because i fight anything i see while very undergeared and spend1 hour just to kill a white maned lynel with 6 hearts and i some how thought the gloom hands were cute and i still think they are
what's the song at the end of the video?
BOTW is toooo empty. I need to literally find enemies to fight.
You kidding right? Totk is empty!
@@M_06_08 TotK is factually fuller than BotW. It has more space, but manages to have more density on the overworld. Just the Depths alone may have more than half the content density of BotW, even though it is meant to be a more empty layer.
I am considering getting one of these games but I'm terrible at combat games 😅 so I have a question... which game is easier?
I would say totk is more of a casual experience.
Definitely botw
Botw
botw is way more casual. get that one.
Tears of the kingdom
TOTK is the better game but BOTW has the more far-reaching impact. First played it (BOTW) in 2017, and I've replayed it more times than I should. So even if TOTK is the better game, BOTW will always be my favorite.
i agree. TOTK is too similar to BOTW. i still love TOTK but its almost a copy of BOTW on steroids. BOTW was better even though its a worse game just because everything at the time was new
I had to downvote but I agree slightly. I don’t agree that totk is objectively better. Adding more content doesn’t mean better. The pacing, the atmosphere, the guardians, the world, and yes the music. Was way better in breath of the wild. Botw is the better game imo. But tears of the kingdom won’t bore you if you are on the phone with your partner and doing busy work in the game. Tears of the kingdom will keep you playing, but is that what makes a game great?
As time goes on more and more will see breath of the wild was better, by ALOT.
It’s also interesting to see how Nintendo views this game, if we get a remaster of breath of the wild soon and Nintendo decides to “Strand” tears of the kingdom on the switch. Like almost deny it’s existence and never port it. Then we know how they feel lmao time will tell
@@liamflan9553 naaa BOTW wasnt anywhere near as good as tears of the kingdom. if tears of the kingdom was released first then breath of the wild, ud be saying TOTK is clear. i prefer BOTW just because it was new at the time. everyone's saying TOTK better, which it is. i just hate how its literally a copy of BOTW
@@darkdba8136 100%
@@darkdba8136Nope. You have no understanding of art.
ToTK got them gamecube graphics and performance. It's time for nintendo to upgrade their hardware.
I would love to see a TOTK vs Elden Ring video.
Love this idea! I might make it closer to the Elden Ring DLC :)
I played BoTW on WiiU and recently got a switch so I think I'll get ToK first.
Botw wins for me
Botw, unspoken lore everywhere, actual stories in each of the 4 regions with the champs and successors, divine beasts visually looked incredible and their progression made actual sense, hyrule castle as the only true dungeon was incdredible and still is fun to go to just for a fight.
And that doesnt even include the dlc and master trials.
Totk beats botw in ui (while flawed), additional enemies, and added content, but if the gameplay meshed with the story of botw, wed have one hell of a game.
Imagine if an ultimate edition released which had the 3 layer map but with the original divine beasts > calamity ganon story, then after that, you'd get into the story of totk. Id be able to forgive the atrocity of the regional phenomena end cutscenes then, and the lacking story content would finally make sense.
I really look forward for a remake in the future where you could play the game as a real continuity, without those plotholes and the inconsistency beetwen games due to ideas only present in totk.
I’m thinking of buying my first Zelda game for me my son (7) which do you recommend?
honestly BOTW. It’s simpler and a lottt of fun on its own. TOTK is basically quantity over quality in a game and too much copy/paste
and plenty of old zelda games are available om the switch, i’d recommend A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom
yeah it was the era of the calamity
enemies have different moves and attacks so include that in the combat
i know people don’t like to hear this but imo totk makes botw irrelevant 😭 it’s still a great game that is very impressive and it made totk possible but i mean…why would u play botw when u can play totk
to pretend TOTK doesnt exist..
Couldn’t have said it better
0 g was a shock in the sky
I’m casual scum and I don’t love fighting - so the fucking guardians in botw made me shit my pants LOL I feel like totk is more chill with the open world enemies (except the gloom hands) and therefor I prefer it cause I get to gallop around and do all the side quests and koroks and secrets :)
The switch is closer to the 360 then it is the Xbox one. It's not even close to Xbox one/PS4 levels. It's just a tad over the Wii u, which was basically a 360.
There is actually a level up system. The more enemies you kill, the better stuff they'll have and the higher the teirs you'll find spawning throughout the world. You should naturally see it essentially.
Wii U was more powerful than 360, and Switch even more powerful. Switch was basically a midgrade, rather than an all out upgrade.
But would I say it's 360 levels? Well, no. We've already seen the system run 7th gen games at 1080p, 60 fps, whereas 360/PS3 would cap at maybe 30 to 45, and 720p to maybe 900.
It's not close to PS4, but it's a step above even Wii U.
@@AltairEgo1 the switch factually isn't even remotely close to Xbox one or PS4. That's just reality. Doom is one of the greatest ports the switch has or things like the Witcher 3. And they look like a joke in comparison to Xbox one and PS4.
the switch is near identical to a Wii u in performance. You can easily see this by the release of breath of the wild. They run near identically.
And the Wii u was not more powerful than the 360 in performance. On paper, yes. But it had to run both the tv and the stupid tablet at the same time. Which took up that extra power.
Not true Xbox 360 could never run tears of the Kingdom just look how much better red dead redemption looks or Skyrim or borderlands 2
Nah, Switch ain't as good as PS4 or Xbox One, but is lightyears ahead Xbox 360. I have one and it barely runs old games with the same quality as Switch runs the newest ones, which is crazy comparing the sizes. Honestly, I think you just do not understand how big was the technological leap between PS3 and PS4.
The Switch graphics are much better than PS3 graphics but not as good as PS4 graphics. However the PS systems are huge and clunky and aren't sleek and portable like the Switch, they are also behind in that they have no screen built into the console. You have to play it at home. I just ran some Breath of the Wild in the waiting room at the doctors office. You have to wait to go home to play your PS4. If the power in your place goes out? You can't play your console. I can just undock the switch and continue playing for hours and hours even in a black out.
The versality of the Switch is worth the fact that it is a generation and a half behind on graphics. I can play it on an airplane, or during a long car ride somewhere.. You cannot do that with the X Box or PS. They are extremely limited consoles.
I skipped botw and went with tears. I was going to start with first game but most people said that tears is very similar BUT better in every way. I didn’t want to play botw and then possibly not be interested in tears. Like for instance, I loved horizon zero Dawn but after I got platinum, I lost all interest. Tried to do a new game plus and just wasn’t interested. And even though I got horizon forbidden west, via ps plus, I’m still not really interested. Don’t want same thing with Zelda. If I really enjoy tears of kingdom, I’ll try pick up botw cheap.
totk is like botw without the charm
I can't understand why in TotK the cut scene after u kill a boss is always the same. Bro just make more. BotW in terms of dungeons and boss is miles ahead
I love BotW, but do you really think that four purple-red jelly monsters are actually better bosses than four unique creatures that use different mechanic aspects inspired in old Zelda bosses? Even worse when you consider that TotK Temples have real themes, while Divine Beasts are basically big shrines. The only thing that actually sucks in all temples is the final cutscene (that can be skipped with 2 buttons) and the sages powers.
i think you meant as powerful as the xbox 360, sorry if it sounds rude
Tears of the kingdom is wonderful, breath of the wild is not. Breath of the wild was a stepping stone to get the beauty that is tears of the kingdom
Saying Breath of the Wild isn't wonderful is crazy. It's more like BotW was almost perfect, but Tears of the Kingdom is so much mindblowingly better that it seems not that great. However Breath of the Wild is still a greater experience than most games in general.
The final boss is definitely better in totk…. Not gonna say anything else
as individual games totk is better ,but since pretty much all meaningfull exploration is done on the botw map in that game i kinda felt let down by totk
If i dont play fist one for long time i dont know what im doing so started in vr omg got so much ferther but not finicht this new one omg what a game its next level no console has dune this showed us what games are in 2023 from 70s woow big n we are not werhy we are not werthy
i think totk is kinda crappy compared to botw
BTW I believe even though it shows there are 3 maps in the Purah Pad and there are no loading times, that there are actually just 2 maps and there is loading time.
Sky Islands and Surface map are one map.
Depths is another map.
Evidence is that when you take i.e. a Zonai contraption with you (like riding it while doing into the Chasms) the game freezes for a few seconds. Same happens when you ride on one of the dragons within the Depths and hold on to it while it leaves the Depths.
And also, while you are in the Chasm, and look up, you will notice that after a while, what ever should be seen from above the chasms isnt there anymore, i.e. the Hyrule Castle Chasm. The Castle which is literally over the chasm, just disappears.
So, I think Nintendo very cleverly and almost unnoticeably hid the loading/transition from Surface to Depths.
Totk solos.
I like more BotW cuz look more realistic i dont like new "FORTNITE" crafting of TotK....
Calling TotK physics and building "Fortnite" is REALLY offensive. It may look a bit goofy, but just the concept of inercia in TotK (which isn't in BotW btw) is more realistic than the whole Fortnite experience.
I have TOTK #5 and BOTW #4 on my all time Zelda list. Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Wind Waker are the Holy Trinity of Zelda and always will be. The reason I have BOTW at #4 is because I believe that it was a more enjoyable experience first time through and it will be more memorable as the future goes on. The main theme is absolutely beautiful and the entire game feels perfectly well balanced unlike TOTK which can be overwhelming, tedious, and a pale shadow in comparison when you think about it. Colgeras theme was amazing and the depths were badass so I’ll give it that.
I'd replace wind waker with twilight princess because it feels more similair to OOT and majora (I also believe its technically a better game than wind waker) but yea I agree with everything else
its easy to see who wins for you its TOTK coz you spend the all vid saying bad about botw
TotK basically didn't make anything worse than BotW, so naturally it would be better, once it is a sequel that fix most of gameplay looping problems that were in the first game and adds tons of quality content.
Dah-na-na-na-naaaaaaaa
I loved both of these games, my favorite games on the switch.
I also miss the old tunic and being able to see enemies health bar
Breath of the wild ❤❤❤❤
BOTW is better.
The game has more identity and is more concrete.
More does not mean better, and TOTK does not understand this.
Divine Beasts have better puzzles than TOTK temples, final bosses don't. It's the only thing he wins in the last game.
I see both games as one Grand Magnum Opus of Zelda games.
worst zelda games*
The worst part about weapon degradation is that it only happens to you. I feel like if it happened to enemies it would be a bit more fair.
I've never thought about that, but your right!
It'd probably be worse if their weapons had the same effect since you'll end up picking up their weapons only to find out they have three hits left.
You can easily disarm enemies and pick their weapons via parry or shock arrows which is better than having their weapons break.
*SPOILERS* I’m gonna have to disagree with you on how totk has a better story than botw. When it comes to stories, more does not always equal better. The story was not v compelling and the characters were rather stale imo. And as far as character development: the character development is very shallow.
i.e. Tulin learning how to work as a team or Yunobo learning how to not be a coward was not earned and was kinda just “oh I get it now” in the final scene of the dungeon with no real build up. Botw was very focused in its storytelling. It focused on Zelda. Truly a legend of Zelda game that put love and care into the development of her personality and her motivations. It was a heartbreaking story. All of the champions too had really well developed, fleshed out personalities. They were believable and not cookie cutter. Specifically, Mipha, Urbosa, and Revali. You actually got to see snippets of their “humanity” which totk did not even come close to doing. Totk’s dialogue was also just… I’m sorry it was god awful. You all know what I’m talking about when I say “demon king? Secret stone?” They somehow could not figure out a way to efficiently tell the main overall plot due to the player being able to just go to whatever dungeon first so they just retold it… verbatim… every time… in a 15 minute cutscene at the end of every dungeon. Lmao it was tbh grueling and I was just literally groaning the entire time. The game spoon fed you exposition. That’s not good storytelling.
And then there’s ganondorf… sigh… okay so calamity Gabon worked as a villain in botw because he was in the background, he was just kinda a faceless evil. Just a thing. Not a person. Totk had the opportunity to FINALLY make Ganondorf be an interesting villain and he just… wasn’t. Like his first line literally is “hyrule will bow down before me!” Which is the summation of his character. He’s just a dude that wants power with 0 character development.

The winner is tears of the kingdom
Totk
Zonai construct are a joke compared to the Sheika ones. They are not as impactful nor do they put a real fight. It's all quantity over quality. So that should be a point for Breath of the Wild. The champions power are also kind of worse and a lot more situational. Aside from that, it's hard to find a thing Zelda TOTK did not do better.
Whats wrong with you people?? Totk sucks! It's totally boring!
Botw for me
I tried to like Botw but sorry Breath had next to _nothing_ for story and Dungeons/bosses: the Sheikah basically failed, Zelda got needlessly moody all over Link, scribbled stuff onto a diary & ran off to 'stall' Ganon but Ganon still managed to control all the Guardians and win. But in Tears, Rauru's efforts and Draconification paid off. TOTK is _everything_ I wanted Botw to be. Actual Dungeons, a rich and involving Main Quest that altered the landscape even to become _way_ more exciting.
Breath of the wild is better tears of the kingdom just feels like playing botw again but worse
I don't get how you had to mention BOTW had 6 years of patches like TOTK didn't also get those 6 years of patches lol like TOTK didn't benefit from the same time to perfect things and then some. the game wasn't rebuilt from the ground up. so I don't get that. that's called a wash. ive had frame rate drops in TOTK. its in both games. you could make the case that the fact that there is STILL dips in TOTK that that's a negative.
