It's definitely built on the Botw foundation In my opinion THPS2 was the breakthrough game. So while both were built on a previous construct, I would say TotK wouldn't and shouldn't be expected to have the buzz about a very fresh take on genre like what was going on with the Tony Hawk series.

I don't know about that... Tony Hawk 1 was absolutely huge from my memory. THPS2 did come out within a year of the first one though, so it was quickly 'replaced'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,738 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 One addition that I've really enjoyed: Spoiler In BOTW, there were wells all over the place, but they were always closed up. That disappointed me. In TOTK, I have yet to find a well that I can't explore. In addition, there are also new chasms s all over Hyrule that are filled with "gloom." These seem to be explorable, but I can't find a way in without getting killed. There is still a lot to learn, but I plan to play the game as long as possible without looking at a guide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,738 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Another welcome addition: Spoiler I found some sticky frogs that can be cooked into an elixir that allows you to climb in rain. I also talked to an NPC that hinted that there might be wet climbing gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if it is better to get this or just fly into Rito. About that gear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,098 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Been wandering around. Got the master sword which is awesome. Beat the first three regional phenomenon. Upgraded my fierce deity armor a bunch. Lots O shrines. I think I’m at 11-12 hearts. Weapon fusing is definitely a nice addition. Attaching random stuff to arrows is fun and being able to sort stuff while attaching to arrows is clutch. I’ve been riding around on dragons collecting their parts for upgrades. I haven’t really done anything with the zonai I have, I should probably refine it and get some extra cells. I’ll probably finish out the main story this week and continue to do random stuff till grow sick of it lol I mean it’s an improvement over BotW which is saying something. I need to explore the depths more. I would argue against team DLC and say it’s a standalone game worth the $70 price tag. If you’ve just come from BotW though you might want to take a breather before starting this lol Edited May 17, 2023 by a3quit4s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly after playing this, there’s really no point in ever going back to play Breath of the Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Not sure about “no reason”, as the divine beast puzzles are very well done. However, between the two games there are 100’s of hours of quality content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,933 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) I lost track of time last night ended up going beyond midnight, but I knocked off a few more shrines, found a horse, lost it?? and then saw I could pull my 2 horses over from the first game so...yeah, that one is loyal. Eventually stumbled on Kakariko, climbed around the mountains. Up there did see a shrine, unlocked it, and a few others going out that way but lack of time unlocked, not finished I guess 3. I've got 1/4 needed for a boost, had 9 so got up to 5 hearts and +1 stamina sliver which is nice. The game seems at times to love to dump you on a point where you can get wrecked twice, double tapped in a moblin drive by...ugh, infuriating. I'm having trouble at this rate finding focus, says to do these 4 points, and the one I guess to do first is Rito? I saw the comment about the ring, saw the big donut in the mountains so I just went the opposite direction. I did slug it out and get a bit sneaky(cost me my arrows) and did a 2nd tower the one with the huge moblin fort. Lit them up with fire and bombs enough to get inside and rush the door. I found another but I'm confused, has a locked door with someone standing outside who wanted in too but no way to crack the opening. I don't want to ruin things, but confusing also is the camera thing that popped up just south of the town base in the depths. It's a primary, but is that necessary already or whenever?

TDIRunner | 2,738 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I'm not as many hours into the game as I would like to be due to my schedule and the fact that I'm sharing the game with my kids, but I'm still enjoying it overall. So far, I feel like there is less guidance in this game compared to BOTW. Maybe I just haven't ran into the right NPCs yet, but it feels like less guidance. As I mentioned before, I plan to paly as long as I can without using a guide, so I'm not looking for tips or tricks right now. Just trying to figure it out as I go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,098 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) I made it to the final mini boss fight before the main last boss and I was not ready. I need to supply up and head back in. Frigging ran out of arrows! Why can you not craft them lol Actual spoiler below Spoiler Also what kind of psycho puts a Silver Lynel on the way to the final boss lol Edited May 22, 2023 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Does this still belong in new releases? Does it matter? Anyways I did the item dupe glitch so now I have 200 diamonds, which is great to not be rupee locked out of anything. especially since they took snowbowling away!
