Is it worth it for 60 bucks? seems a bit much

hollow talon
#

probably one of the best uses of $60 on the Switch that I've seen

queen cloak
#

I bought mine on sale on Amazon

#

for 60 CAD

#

which is like 45USD lol

spark briar
#

Target had it on sale p recently!

#

If BotW isn't worth $60 I'm not sure what game is tbh

queen cloak
#

Please for the love of god, don't put the dollar sign after the value

#

BOTW is the first Zelda game I ever played and I would say it’s probably my favorite video game ever.

#

(It also remains the ONLY Zelda game I’ve ever played)

bitter kite
#

it has a LOT of content

#

not including dlc

hollow talon
#

@gentle egret from a quick search it looks like you may have had a negative experience with BotW 😅 I know it's not everyone's cup of tea so I'm not here to convince you otherwise; moreso I think that the gripes you have with the game might be relevant here (since I'm biased and have a hard time speaking to them)

#

Ah, I misunderstood; I just searched zelda from:sympho since I was curious and it looked like you put it as your least favorite Zelda

#

To clarify, I didn't think you hated it; I just figured that opinions other than "10/10 my favorite game ever" would be helpful in making the decision ig

#

yeah tbh even though I would personally still go out and buy it for $60, I think you could probably find a used copy (or find it on sale) for less (~40 like was mentioned)

#

agreed; and even if you're a physical collector that cares about case condition and such, it's way easier and cheaper to just buy a new case/cover than it is to get a new game

#

I'm pretty sure it was no story driven enough to you lol

#

and it's a less challenging Zelda entry

#

My brother gave it an 8.5/10

#

I'll never like another Zelda game more than OoT

queen cloak
#

Honestly I'm just not hyped to start BoTW. I wouldn't be surprised if I magically end up playing TokT

#

I can't lie BoTW has my favourite art in a Switch game

queen cloak
#

Lol no dungeons pepela pepela pepela

#

They aren't

#

I don't feel great about games deviating from their traditional formula

bitter kite
#

botw stays my favorite game since i havent completed it and theres still so much more to discover

#

it just loses its luster when u complete most of the stuff

#

thats an unprecedented flaw by the zelda team

#

its worth the $60

#

if u havent played it before

#

capcom is being experimental with that definitely not kojima game

#

not knowing the world actually enhances it

#

every time u explore it wont be the same

#

try to look at its exploration from an arpg angle

#

its what botw did but enhanced on it

#

every time u explore its a different experience

#

which platform did u play elden ring

queen cloak
#

i like my Zelda games being linear

bitter kite
#

link's awakening is one of my top zelda games

queen cloak
#

I've only played 2 rip

bitter kite
#

botw was a good experiment tho

bitter kite
queen cloak
#

Windwaker and OoT

bitter kite
#

wind waker tried open world

queen cloak
#

I enjoyed OoT quite a lot more, it has the best storytelling in a video game I've seen.

bitter kite
#

its an admirable effort

queen cloak
bitter kite
#

oot is excellent

bitter kite
#

zelda nes is open world

queen cloak
#

Oh

bitter kite
#

then at the 90s gta expanded on it

#

@queen cloak u should get link's awakening on switch

#

its an excellent remake

queen cloak
#

of?

#

This year rips my wallet apart when it comes to video games

#

damn bruh I actually get so sad every time I see a scene in OoT.

bitter kite
queen cloak
#

O

bitter kite
queen cloak
#

Windwaker and OoT have the best Zeldas

queen cloak
#

out of many

bitter kite
#

link not so much

queen cloak
#

tbh he got what he "deserved"

bitter kite
queen cloak
#

That's why OoT is so good

bitter kite
queen cloak
#

Zelda Link Ganondorf, and the Sages in that game was honestly built different.

#

I haven't played TP

bitter kite
#

he got depressed after mm since he doesnt get recognized as a hero

#

and dies

queen cloak
#

Ok I haven't played MM yet

bitter kite
#

moral: never get back ur childhood if losing it makes u famous

queen cloak
#

but yes OoT is a beautiful tragedy

bitter kite
#

link ends up being depressed by the lack of hero clout

queen cloak
#

I like how the environment Link grows up in actually shapes his life a lot

bitter kite
#

and dies a sad man

#

truly genius story miyamoto

queen cloak
#

yeah not all heroes gets clout

bitter kite
#

either way

#

play mm if u loved oot

queen cloak
#

I was planning on playing Twilight Princess tbh just because I like the music and atmosphere of that game a lot

bitter kite
#

also one thing

#

skyward sword sucks on wii

queen cloak
#

Saria my beloved

bitter kite
#

queen cloak
#

queen cloak
bitter kite

queen cloak
#

bitter kite
queen cloak
#

gotta love Windwaker having some of the most insane lore in gaming (OoT)

bitter kite
#

a link in any shape or form will appear to kill u

queen cloak

#

botw>p5 imo

#

less shitty visual novel writing and unnecessary dialogue

#

yes

#

BotW is literally one of the best reviewed games of all time, how could you possibly call it hit or miss?

queen cloak
#

It's the best reviewed Switch game

#

yes

#

we love Zelda!

#

yeah miss is a harsh word to use

#

I've never seen anyone give BoTW a personal rating of below 8

#

you could be the first

crude pumice
#

If this is your argument then the phrase "hit or miss" is worthless. There isn't a single game anywhere, ever, that every single person who ever played it loved unconditionally. However, I CAN point to the massively overwhelming scores that BotW get that shows it's a lot more a hit than a miss to a majority of people than your "I know a few people who gave up on it" shows

#

Don't ignore or discard what is inarguably the mass consensus just because you, personally, don't agree

#

97 on Metacritic by critics
8.7/10 Metacritic by fans
96 on Opencritic
I'm giving you raw hard data showing that a VAST majority of people, critics and yes also fans, like the game. You're giving biased speculation because you, personally, were disappointed. You said it's not worth $60 because it's "hit or miss" but if you honestly, truly mean that, then there isn't a single game in existence worth $60. You can't have it both ways.

#

Because reading many, many reviews, from critics and fans, it seems like "liking open world sandbox games" is not a prerequisite

#

They asked if it's worth $60. The answer to that is almost unequivocally yes.

#

I will grant, sure, maybe paying $60 for a 6 year old game feels like a lot. In that regard I get it

#

But if you take the merits of the game itself, the scope, the quality, everything within the game into consideration for the price, I again say if BotW is not worth $60 then no game is

queen cloak
#

ok any game can be a hit or miss srsly

gentle egret
#

thanks guys ima get it in march for bday gift cause im broke

bitter kite
#

#

maybe they might like it more than u do

I bought my copy on a back to school sale on amazon

gentle egret
#

Bruh I gotta continue this game

#

Idk how far I am but it's a sick game man

undone flame
#

personally bought a used version for 20

bitter kite
gentle egret
#

I borrowed it one time from a friend and didn't like it because the story felt too messy tbh

#

At least for me

#

This is my First zelda game too

queen cloak
#

Breath of the Wild breaks the traditional formula of Zelda games having a linear formula

#

I don't value exploration too much but a story is a lot to me. BoTW have less dungeons than your traditional Zelda games I believe but there are tons of shrines.

#

You should play Ocarina of Time on an emulator or something if you want an amazing story. It's pretty hard to play with without using a walkthrough since it's a really old game but the storytelling is beyond masterful. I like Zelda games being simple with their dialogue and no words feel unessecary. I honestly really enjoyed the dungeons in that game. Whatever you do, don't get spoilers!

I can talk more about it if you really want me too; it's my favourite game after all.
