Current Events > The shrines are the worst part of breath of the wild

(+) Yeah! (+)

Id rather have larger thematic dungeons than random repetitive shrines that all look the same.

They failed in this department tbh

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do in that game so I just go to the towers and shrines
---

Agreed. They were repetitive and I hated the whole techno theme behind them.

This. What else are you suppose to do get korok seeds? I actually enjoyed the shrines the overworld seemed empty and dull you run around find some seeds and stuff but the main thing are the shrines
---

I hate how the dialogue in every one is identical so you're just constantly pressing skip
---

Other than tests of strenght, I can think of like 5 shrines that felt repetitive.
---

The best shrines were the ones that felt like segments of actual dungeons.

...Of which there were maybe 3.

This and maybe korok seeds. That's the game, if you don't want to do the main quest. There are some side quests, but meh.
---

The only things I don't like about this game are the bosses and fragile weapons. It's incredible otherwise.

Agreed. They're terrible and do not make up for the game's lack of traditional dungeons. At first (didn't read any reviews so as not to be spoiled), I thought these shrines would LEAD to dungeons on par with those in OOT. 50 shrines later, I still had hope that one would be that kind of dungeon. :(

Game is fun, but not perfect. After doing about 45 shrines, I don't really care about finding anymore. Wish the korok seed dude would stay in one place so you could cash in when you want to rather than having to guess where he is.

At least for me he was in three places before he stayed in Korok Forest. That path to Kakariko Village, east side of Central Hyrule near a Stable, and then the Forest. I talked to him each time.

That constellation puzzle was cool

The blessing ones had the puzzle/challenge outside of the shrine.

my mind was blown when I realized there's no dungeons in Zelda and barely any enemies. I can't believe anyone still defends that "game"
---

But yeah, even though I find the game really enjoyable (I still play it a bit to this day without starting over) it needs more to make it truly the best game ever made. They've got the overworld and free exploration down near perfectly as far as I'm concerned, they just need a better story and better dungeons. Better sidequests too but that's a whole other thing. Thankfully the way BotW did its dungeons means it can only be done in BotW with how they were tied to the story (Divine Beasts) so what I was thinking was another way they could revamp the dungeon idea, such as putting them all in an underworld and making it a Metroidvania style. Can start anywhere you want thanks to the free overworld, more of the underworld opens up as you get more dungeon items, a new major story event in the overworld opens up after each underworld boss is defeated, the end goal is the center of the underworld which requires all dungeon items to reach.
---

Yeah the shrines were pretty lame. It's like they put some much time into the rest of the game that they just had to slap some puzzles in there at the last minute. Oh well, everything else is fucking awesome so I can give that a pass.
---

Also I'd like for them to drop BotW's weapon durability concept for the next game and make it more like something similar to Dark Souls. Unique weapons that can lose sharpness but never break, can be upgraded using materials found by exploring.
---

The weapon durability bothered me WAY more than the shrines. I didn't even mind the shrines, actually.
---

Honestly, the whole game was the worst part for me.

The overworld music should be this song on repeat.

Needs a repair system (similar to fallout)

I liked the shrines. I wish they had more unique themes. Seems like an easy improvement to the sequel.

The repair system in Fallout 3/NV is pointless busywork.

Rain is the worst part of the game.

It wouldn't be so bad if you could craft a shelter using Korok Leaves and Wood Bundles or something so you can make a fire to wait it out, because usually when you're out and about you're not gonna find something to hide under when it rains.

Hell, for a game that focused a lot on survival there was a surprising lack of crafting, I noticed.
---

I liked the shrines, but I think it would have been cooler to have less shines and instead have mini dungeons with several mini bosses at certain points that give orbs and good treasure throughout, and more actual dungeons
