Hey actually let's take this a different way.

Hey Praetor.

What is it that you think contributed to Breath of the Wild's popularity?

For the record, Praetor is a prefix I use when they wont let me use a three character name.

Breath of the Wilds popularity is understandable, because it was something completely new formula wise while hearkening back to the original Zelda. Its basically something resembling what the original Zelda would have been if theyd had the technology to make such a game at the time. Its a big open world to explore, which many people still love doing despite basically every AAA game being that now.

Im not criticizing Breath of the Wild any more than I do open world games in general that arent incredibly unique like Elden Ring. Its Tears of the Kingdom Im taking issue with.

It should have been a $30 expansion for Breath of the Wild. I knew it would sell gangbusters when it was announced, but I would have expected the honeymoon to be over before people were done with it, as its the same world with a couple new areas and the ability to build crazy contraptions.
