What I feel killed breath of the wild overall was the lack of more NPCs and enemies. The game felt like one huge empty world. If it had more encounters like Skyrim it would of been legendary
I'm aware it's late but try master mode and limit your maximum number of hearts and it's amazing.
I’m a little biased towards Zelda but I have to admit that I like Skyrim better. After I beat the story to botw and all the dlc I just couldn’t get back into like I used to. Unlike Skyrim each time I play through it I always find something that I missed from the last time I played it.
What I think they were trying to do with Legend of Zelda breath of the wild was make it more similar to the original on the original Nintendo where you could rom around different parts of the game fight enemies and Explorer but Skyrim is more complex and challenging and looks beautiful on certain platforms even though the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild story lines is incredible Skyrim storyline is incredible as well it's really hard to choose between them in my opinion
atomic wolf I agree! They are different and that makes them both amazing! In my opinion they are both masterpieces!
These are both great games, but tbh Skyrim has more gameplay like after you beat Zelda there is not really anything else to do other than explore and look for korok seeds, while Skyrim just had much more to offer, and even if you’re done with the game it has mods and dlcs so even more fun
Jesus Lover yes.
I really hope Tears of the kingdom Fixes this
I love open world fantasy games, Skyrim, BOTW, Dragons Dogma, love em all
Ik it's late but try the witcher 3
If you haven't ofc
((Late to this lolz))
BOTW’s ending disappointed me because there was no after game, no meeting Zelda, and rebuilding the kingdom. After I beat it once I quit, and the DLC’s aren’t worth it to me since they don’t add after game. Also the weapons breaking is so annoying.
Skyrim is a game most people keep buying. And I’ve bought it on Xbox, pc, and switch. Like I’m addicted to making Oc’s, and my own story for the along the story line of Skyrim. Not to mention great characters you can fall for, and the many different play styles you can do. It may be an older game, but it’s got its own charm too it.
Dude, whenever I play rpgs that let me build my own character, I go all our. I do back stories, interviews, Character sheets the whole 9.
Great video! I like how you went through the pros and cons of both games, not enough people do that anymore.
Thanks! I appreciate that, and totally agree!
Love both games, but I completely agree. Skyrim’s just more complex.
Nerd on Film agreed. I’ve played it so many times
Skyrim is more dynamic. I will however say that botw has smarter enemy AI and more dynamic fighting elements.
Love your sonic in the back
I liked the breaking weapons thing, but Botw needed a repair mechanic.
Something that took a cost (probably scaling with the weapon) and possibly and inconvenience depending what was required.
Also a storage box in house would have been good
Oblivion had a repair mechanic.
Daishi yeah, like morrowind and oblivion’s repair system would make it less frustrating
I feel like having a repair mechanic even at cost would cause you to hord particular weapons defeating the purpose of having breakable weapons causing you to change your play style.
In the beginning when you talked about the world you literally listed everything Zelda has
He bought at least 4 versions of skyrim did you really believe he was anything less than a skyrim fanboy?
Very well-thought out piece. Just finished Zelda and itching to find a new adventure.
bonobaltimore thank you! I really appreciate it! And I bet haha, Zelda does that to you!
I like both of them, I like the physics of Zelda the best physics I have experience in a game
I chose skyrim because your weopens cant break
Right, I remember finding an ancient sword in zelda and thinking "Wow this is cool" but immediately realised I should never use it since it had the highest damage among weapons I had available at the time.
In Oblivion your weapon can break, but for some reason Bethesda had to remove it in Skyrim.
Skyrim is, well it's Skyrim. I think everyone's probably played it. The only different thing on switch is the amiibo which at least for me isn't really worth it. Will I eventually? Probably if it goes on sale. I adore both games though
I just tried both for several tens of hours, and I feel Skyrim is way better than Zelda. In Zelda, the only person I talk to is the old guy who cooks apples, and the only story is to save the kingdom, but who cares about the old kingdom where nobody but goblins live in? In Skyrim, I put myself in a civil war with no absolute justice. People choose their sides based on their faith or interest. People thank me when I did them a favor, or attack me when I was found stealing their goods. Skyrim is a life. Zelda is merely a tiresome sightseeing trip. I'll definitely put hundreds of hour in Skyrim, but I don't think I'll ever touch Zelda again.
Did you even finished the tutorial?
Old guy who cooks apples? Are you talking about the king? Pay more attention to the game and characters and you’ll love it. Know wonder you hate the game. Your still referring to the king as the apple guy
uh oh fanboy alert
@@shiftboey skirym fanboy
@@officialbananakinita who?
Really fair review I really enjoyed it
I love both games but without gliding in Skyrim I love the fact that you can walk around and appreciate the world
I don’t know about any other gaming systems anymore and I still have my Xbox one and PlayStation pro 4 but I love my switch play it anywhere in the house is a plus for me
Congrats on 1k! Been since you played Dead Space
Team Dossix I still remember when you first came!
Really helpful thank you! I'll buy loz first then Skyrim after, both look amazing!
Saskia Freeman good choice! And thank you!
I think there both amazing games I play them at different times it does feel empty sometimes but all of that can be fixed with a couple of mods.
I like them both for different reasons.
Zelda: better gameplay mechanics, especially combat, better main quest with better sense of achievement, more memorable npc characters and better single play through experience
Skyrim: more immersive, bigger sense of exploration, more side quests, better music, better character building and immense reply value.
I find all Zelda games hard to go back to after you beat it, maybe after a little longer that might change but Skyrims replay value is immediate, you just have so many factions to choose from that change many facets of the game so replay is just a given.
Zelda is just the better single playthough experience, the world and sense of it is unreal, it really gives you a sense of free but at the same time manages to draw you into its deep story, which for some reason is very under appreciated but personally i thought it was the best zelda story yet except maybe twilight princess
Reza Far I agree for the most part, but I would say BotW’s combat is worse in terms of the weapon breaking, and the Skyrim characters are honestly more memorable, like Sheogorath or Cicero. Though if the weapons had a repair system, like in morrowind, than the combat would be better. Both still breathtaking games, but I prefer Skyrim.
@@emendo2696 you mean lydia always getting on the way😭😂
@@emendo2696 in*
So I just found this hidden, not so watch video, and wow, I must say this is a very well made comparison, really good points and well thought stuff. I am defenitely going to try out Skyrim next.
Thank you so much! Yeah, I am a small channel trying my best to make it big!
IAmPeterCole This is seriously quality content, you just earned a new sub !
I've played Skyrim like 1-2 thousand hours. BotW I've played maybe 60 hours. I always feel like I have to force myself to find the fun in BotW but in Skyrim it's fun all the time. If BotW was a clone of Skyrim I would have been much happier.
This is a good point. I'm playing through BoTW right now and while I'm totally immersed and enjoying the game, it does feel like I have to "force myself to find fun things to do".
I guess ToTK kinda alleviates this by giving players more powers to play with in their sandbox.
I haven't played Skyrim yet (probably the only person in the world) but it's world, stories and magic has always fascinated me.
I would argue that BotW is the 3D Zelda game with the *least* amount of story, barring stuff like Link's Crossbow Training.
Even after playing many recent games like the Witcher 3, red dead redemption 2, final fantasy XV, fallout 4 etc simultaneously on my PS4; Skyrim always comes up with something to make sure it sits on top of my games list!
I have played both and I never went online for cheats on Skyrim. There was so much to do and the game was so intuitive on how to solve puzzles that (aside from Yngol Barrow) I haven't cheated. On BOTW, it felt somewhat incomplete and the map was a lot smaller than Skyrim. I also did NOT like the graphical style of BOTW. Despite the hype, I think Skyrim is much superior to BOTW.
Obilivion put me off trying skyrim. Maybe I should try it after playing BTOW.
FuZZbaLLbee I would! It has changed a lot since Oblivion.
Its BotW
Skyrim is crazy fun. Throw a dozen visual mods at it and you're living next level RPG.
I totally respect your opinion, but disagree. I think Zelda is a better game in terms of gameplay, weapon selection, combat system, fast travel and most importantly the world's physics, which makes the world itself the protagonist of the game and feels alive, while Skyrim is just a background setting for the player to control his character. I wish I had played Skyrim BEFORE finishing BotW and Dark Souls... :'(
Yes yes yes yes i agree!
Im not play zelda, im not play skyrim before. I have switch. What u think, which game better for first buy?
@@popeyethesailor2525 oh, definitely the legend of zelda :) I have had it for ages and im still playing it, it's one of my favourite games, if not my favourite. The legend of zelda's physics and huge expansive open world (which is 9 times the size of skyrim BTW) are so perfectly put together. Even if you don't like killing the boss's and following the main quest, you can have just as fun by simply exploring and walking/climbing/paragliding around.; the game is stunningly beautiful. I haven't bought skyrim, as i don't have infinite money, but from what ive seen of it in videos, you cant even climb, and you walk extremely slow. There arent even mountains or deserts of fun stuff to explore. :)
@@dot32 thx, and one more, need buy dlc? Why i asking? Becouse not free, but i want all content. Sorry my english, im 13 years old, and in my shcool we learn chines. Wherever, switch havs more rpg, but i dont know langvich, and russian in game very important for me, and zelda and skyrim have subs, and sound
@@popeyethesailor2525 I dont have the DLC, in my opinion the game is actually better without the DLC :)
Both games are master pieces but for me Skyrim wins due to the fact BOTW once you complete it I doubt you will play it again if u do will be a very long time while Skyrim you can play with so many different styles start a new game it feels like you are playing another game!
I agree with what he said but I like BOTW more because it lets me experiment more and I sometimes get a little bored in skyrim
I think that the replay value in botw is just as good as Skyrim because you can go about beating the game and doing everything you can do in the game a million different ways and if you like open world games and especially Zelda games there is no limit to the ways you can go about everything in this game and I think that the overall freedom in botw is better and that is important to me at least not that the freedom in Skyrim is bad it’s amazing but I think botw is just better
How about AI SkyRim vs BOTW? Who has it better?
Skyrim, definitely. There are not many NPCs or types of enemies in BOTW.
Yeah
I just got a switch lite. I don't have internet. These are the only two games I want. I'm leaning towards breath of the wild cus I have played so much skyrim... Idk man I'm watching
What edeting software du you use ?.
The Chosen Gamer premiere pro!
Also the game map is much bigger than Skyrim I’ll be it more empty when compared to Skyrim but has just as much replay value in my opinion
I'm grateful for this review, but you forgot to talk about the horse riding mechanics.
Deoxysoverlord well that would be kind of one sided, since the horses aren’t too important in Skyrim.
I've already played skyrim but never played a zelda game which one?
TheZookProject Zelda definitely
I respectfully disagree. While I love both games, Botw's gameplay just feels better to me. I have the both on my switch and I've played Skyrim for over 200 hours and I've played botw for over 650 hours
Mathias Alexander Out of curiousity, what in BOTW is keeping you busy for 650 hrs??... While BOTW is a great game, I just don’t see how people compare its replay-ability and depth of content to Skyrim. The fact that a 2011 game can still be compared to a 2017 game says a lot imo
Henry Ward
I'm still going back to areas to search for more korok seeds. It doesn't get boring for me because the world is beautiful and the movement is fun. I also love the combat even if it's not particularly challenging later in the game.
Mathias Alexander but that’s specifically for you to get 100 percent completion but I do think Skyrim is the more advanced game
Henry Ward trueee
Mathias Alexander while I love the game, I can’t imagine 650 hours haha
I respect your opinion. I get why you like skyrim better But one thing I just dont understand was when you sade ”there foxes running around, rabbits running around, there are deer to hunt and there town and settlments.” Those lines makes me wonder if you havent played it.
Wait, haven't played what? I have dozens of gameplay videos of each of these games on my channel haha and have played hundreds of hours of both (literally with all the Korok seeds in BoTW and all the side quests and character builds in Skryim + mods)
The only reason I bought a switch was to play botw but my parents told me I could just borrow my cousin's game card so I was asked to pick another game and that was skyrim.
Tbh, I prefer Skyrim now than botw :'0
Skyrim is astronomically deeper in term of lore/world and things to do
BOTW had one advnatage and thats sheild/sword combat
Hi man, sorry for my english, im 13 years old. My parents gifrs me nintendo switch, but empthy, only consol, without games. Im love rpg, and i love torment, arcanum, fallout 1-2, divity, but switch dont have them. I see eshop and found interesting rpg for me, and impotant game have russian subs, becose dont know english. Okay, i found skyrim, zeplda, westeland 2, diablo 3. I want all, but in this mounth i can just buy one aaa game and maybe something for team, 1-2 switch or something. I dont play before this game. Which u think need buy first? I watchjng video, but very hard langvich for me
Thanks god u say the truth
I have both games and I have to say that Skyrim has way more relay value and so much stuff to do and as of botw is lacking so much content which I stopped playing
While I love them both,. I agree that Skyrim has more replay value for sure!
Skyrim, Lost planet, and Crackdown 🦾👨🏽🔧
You beat skyrim that many times? I always get bored with bethesda rpgs after the initial exploration is gone it gets very repetite and your lack of actual agency doesnt keep me interested. I played about 500 hours in skyrim though and Morrowind is my favorite. To me these gamea are more adventyre with rpg elements than rpgs and I played them that way.
I feel like whatever you do has more consequences in Skyrim, Kill someone? Kiss them goodbye. Steal something? Better stay away from the guards. In Zelda, trying to kill someone will just leave them a little scared, and people hardly care about stealing, if you do only like 4 characters will get mad
Im playing skyrim on ps4
DyNaMIiCKaL .-. It’s a good place to play it for sure!
I prefer skyrim
There's too much variety in Skyrim, too many options, too many menus, too many decisions it doesn't feel organic to me. I think Botw is amazing because of it's simplicity.
I'm starting to realize the people who enjoy botw an say it's the best game are just simpletons an can't handle what a real game has to offer. so they need a watered down game. A simple game. Lol
@@acoloradolife5135 lol what even is that comment? can't handle what a real game has to offer XD ok bro. good luck trying to argue that. You know what a real game is? Chess. Simple. 16 pieces. 64 squares. that's it. yet it's the oldest played game, and most widely played of all time. you're not intelligent or sophisticated enough to respect something like that though lol

I have not played BOTW or Skyrim, which should I play first?
Bzb123 BOTW for sure. Then spend hundreds of hours in Skyrim haha
IAmPeterCole Thank you for the quick reply!
IAmPeterCole oh also, if I were to choose one game only, which one should I buy?
Bzb123 well, each one will last you quite a long time. However, I feel Skyrim has more content especially with all of its DLCs. So if you are looking for content and bang for your buck, Skyrim. However, BOTW is an incredible game as well, so you can’t really go wrong either way.
IAmPeterCole I bought Skyrim and I am loving it, lol. Thanks!
No way is Skyrim better than BOTW....I tried playing it again, the gameplay is super outdated
Why does everyone in the comments hate loz? Damn
This question is really only valid after the next 9 years. That is how long ppl have been exploring and modding Skyrim.
In a sense you are correct. However, because people are trying to weigh the option of which one to buy, it's better to have a conversation than wait that long. That would be a really cool retrospective down the line.
The two was the best
I have played hundreds of hours of skyrim 🤩i have never finished the story 🤔im doing it on the switch 🤬skyrim on the go..makes me not want to punch you know who🫣he can't 🤬 everything up🤷♂️I've been drinkn🍻switch skyrim is a blessing🍻

I’ve never really liked Skyrim. When it first came out I got it on 360 and couldn’t wait to play it, but I only ended up getting to level 8 before giving it to my brother. He only got to around level 20 before quitting. About 6 months ago I rebought Skyrim on the Xbox One. I had originally forgot why I didn’t like it which is why I bought it again. After playing for a while I began to get bored. The quests are sooooo repetitive and they feel so baron. I loved exploring the world of Skyrim but I always tried to avoid doing quests. I feel as though Skyrim isn’t good unless you use mods which is pretty disappointing.
Recently I got a Switch and BOTW, and I have to say it is one of the best games I have ever played. The world seems so much more versatile and the story is so amazing. Whereas with Skyrim I never really cared about the story because the quests sucked. The only thing that I wished was different with BOTW is more races/monster types throughout the lands.
TrolledYouSilly I can understand that. And like I say, everyone has different tastes!
TrolledYouSilly I get everything you’re saying and I respect your opinion, but how does Skyrim have repetitive quests while legend of Zelda doesn’t like everything else I got but the quests? Like there are so many different types of quests with different outcomes it’s hard to be repetitive, like if you were just talking about just Skyrim then I get that but compared to Zelda’s? I stopped playing Zelda after I beat the game because there really wasn’t anything else to do, like at least in Skyrim you had options that had such a large variety, become a assassin, join the war, become a monster, become the best wizard, be a local serial killer really the list goes on while Zelda just only allows you to be a small hero guy that can’t do anything with npc’s other than talk to them
TrolledYouSilly I am literally the same. I had Skyrim for the 360 and gave up
Jesus Lover botw does have real sidequest although not as good as skyrim's but you can interact with people you just can't change moral sides
I take issue with your comment that Zelda has never been about story. If Zelda is known for anything it’s the story, that’s why everyone was so disappointed with breath of the wild’s story.
I love both these so games so much, but I think I prefer botw a little more because it’s just seems more free: you can climb anything and fight basically doing or using anything you want
How is it more free? Aside from climbing.
You can do those same things in Skyrim lol...
Skyrim is amazing, but its UNPLAYABLE without at least 60 to 150 mods; then its the best.
@Merciless Freak I agree. Why 60-150 mods? That’s too much for any game
Play botw 500 Hours and I think it is 100 times better
Have you even played skyrim????
skyrim because more Dlcs and mods
*MY OPINION: SKYRIM M8 FRICKEN SKYRIM XD*
Hahahahaha
IAmPeterCole *[insert edgy laughter here]*
Skyrim
Ok Botw's story sucks but ..... Its 2020 now . We all know there is a sequel and a prequel !
You sound really hypocritical. First Skyrim looks amazing with the Forrest’s, then they get old, then zeldas world looks boring, then you say it looks beautiful. Bruh make up your mindsd
Hmmm so he 90% Skyrim
And he 50% botw
Feel like theirs a bias here...
But before you hate this comment I enjoy Skyrim just as much
What? I have spent hundreds of hours in each. I spent more time exploring the smaller areas of Skyrim because there are actual things to do, whereas after getting the Korok seeds and a few other secrets, there are no real tasks in BOTW. And of course there is bias, this is an opinion video and any opinion has bias. There is no way to make a video like this without bias because everyone values and views things differently.
Ok am sorry
IAmPeterCole lol cool out
@@overbakedsoup4488 * I'm
Breath of the Wild 2 is going to destroy them both.
I've put hours into both games and beat them multiple times. I love Skyrim more. It has a much more engaging story, far superior side quests, well crafted dungeons to delve, a great soundtrack, and its expansions and phenomenal. Only good thing BOTW does is its a wide open world and you can traverse it. It's such an empty flat world with a bland story.
Well for the switch I think Zelda was better but Skyrim is just more legendary than Zelda when not played on switch well although you could say Skyrim is just plain more legendary than Zelda in general but that’s just my opinion lol...also I think the only other game more legendary than Skyrim could be Minecraft or bio shock infinite
Adam Bodick Minecraft is bigger than Skyrim for sure, but Bioshock isn’t even close. The original Bioshock is a legend, but still doesn’t beat Skyrim. And while I loved Infinite, a lot of people didn’t like it.
IAmPeterCole true true
well I mean...there is super mario bros
I thought Breath of the wild was an extremely overrated and very boring.
I’m glad somebody said it! I feel the exact same way. It was a great game, but not groundbreaking in my opinion.
Legendary Weapon I totally agree
don't give a fudge stfu idiotic Nintendo fanboy how do you figure I even like Sony? Also it didn’t deserve goty and it is way overrated, another game like the Witcher 3 should have gotten it. Now, all Nintendo games are trash, and if u still don’t think so then PLAY A REAL GAME STUPID FANBOY
don't give a fudge I have played botw and it was very disappointing that’s why I’m never buying Nintendo products again. Also the point is botw didn’t deserve goty no matter what fanboy remarks you have.
Also I’m not arguing anymore so you can go take your anger somewhere else and leave
