Not really, there's much more to find and see, not even including the main islands. The sea integrates much better into the world than just a big empty plane with the only thing of note being a ranch, and virtually everything else being very unnaturally spread out to the corners.
I still disagree. It felt just as big and empty to me, just somehow more boring.
Wind Waker is infuriating to play though, especially in the early game before you get the Wind Waker and the sailing is even more frustrating because the wind isn't pointing the direction you want to go. Then later on you get the teleport spell but it can only teleport you to a very limited number of locations and they're never where you actually want to go. The dungeons and bosses are great, I do like the islands themselves, and the art style is quite good despite the criticism, but goddamn the sailing is the most bland experience ever.
Sure, and I agree with that but with the caveats of "I don't like the N64 Zeldas anyways" and "At least those maps were mercifully small and boring".
That's probably because of how much bigger it was with more space between things, and due to the slow speed of sailing you'll probably feel that even more.
I agree, I don't think those are huge issues but they do hinder the pacing. That's why it's unfortunate they didn't do a proper sequel and iron things out even more. It was a good evolution, but the growing pains were there.
I loved Windwaker. It's top 5 amongst my favorite Zelda games. Shoot me if you must. Rate me with a disagree or a dumb if anything.
Alright maybe I came off too abrasive as it pertains to Wind Waker. I don't think Wind Waker is a bad LoZ game, I don't even think it's a bad game in the grand scheme of things, I just think it's a game that's, overall, incredibly boring to play. I like the dungeons, I like the bosses, I like the island locations, they're all fine and they're all fun. It's just traversing the spaces between that kills me. The overworld being empty isn't a unique problem for 3D Zelda, but Wind Waker is bigger and takes longer to navigate, so despite the fact that it is technically more full of things than OoT or MM it feels even emptier.
More what, exactly?
If you like it you like it. I like plenty of shit people think suck and I can see why they think it sucks.
Points of interest. You could argue regarding their quality, of course, but outside of key locations OoT is nearly barren. Maybe less is better, quality over quantity, I could see that argument.
Those are my exact thoughts on TP too.
To each is own.
You mean by replacing an giant field that's essentially the hub of the game with miles upon miles of empty ocean and these tiny ass islands?
Nigger, an lot of video games are built like this. In fact, you can even say the same with how Hyrule Castle sits more or less the exact center of the map in TOTK.The sea integrates much better into the world than just a big empty plane with the only thing of note being a ranch, and virtually everything else being very unnaturally spread out to the corners.
Actually, it probably helps to see exactly what I mean:
They did make an sequel to it, it's called "Phantom Hourglass" and you get an nice little steamboat with an scaled down overworld.
I mean, if you combine all the land it's more than what OoT has, it is just broken into tiny islands, but I do wish they had delayed the game to add more content instead of cutting stuff.
Uh, I didn't play ToTK but I'm pretty sure the map isn't a barren center with one significant point of interest, and then everything else tucked into the far corners of the map, but maybe I'm wrong, idk.
That's not exactly a "proper" sequel though, I mean more like what LBW was to LttP. I do like it a lot despite that, and Spirit Tracks too.
This is true, but
this is exactly where they went wrong with it.
Well, having an series of bucolic rolling hills with some monsters roaming about isn't exactly featureless in the traditional sense, especially when you compare it to the biomes in 3 corners of the map. Only thing that's new is the former castle town being rebuilt; other than some of the new Stu to kill
Yeah but now they are going to repeat Breath of the Wild indefinitely.
They’ll definitely do side projects at least since each one of the “open air” Zelda’s takes 6 years to make.
they also kinda scammed everyone who bought the Wii version with the retarded controls and no option to just use the Gamecube controller
I'm on board with shitting on Ocarina of Time, but I just never could get behind that concept. They both have similar structures: three smaller dungeons to collect three tchotchkes that open up the Important Room that takes you to Clown World and then you go through a number of other dungeons to collect all the other tchotchkes that unlock Gaon's house and then you go in and call him a fag and kick his ass. But that's about where the similarities end, because LttP just looked a lot better and felt a lot more structurally sound. Then again, I'm not a fan of 3D Zelda at all, save for BotW, but that's a game I could only play through once.
nothing but give you breath of the wild link's haircut.
