Current Events > Oh no please don't tell me Zelda: TotK is a bunch of islands like Skyward Sword!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Short answer is no, the sky islands are barely featured after what is essentially a tutorial on the only one of them thats a decent size.

That's good, I hope they give us some reward for having beaten the first game.

I never played SS

I think the devs said that better technology is allowing them to do what they fully intended for Skyward Sword, but in the end they removed a ton of sky islands anyway because they said it cluttered the sky too much.

So in the end they made exploring the sky extremely underwhelming, exactly the same as in Skyward Sword.

which Arkham games did your gadgets carry over? As far as I know most of them had to be unlocked again for every new entry in the series. Its been a while since Ive played them though so I could be wrong.

I hate to say it, but I agree with their choice from a purely aesthetics standpoint - the beautiful sprawling majesty of BotW's Hyrule did not benefit from the addition of giant oozing holes in the ground and a bunch of random shit floating in the sky.

I wish they wouldve gone all the way. We already saw Hyrule in BOTW. I wanted big changes to the overworld itself other than little islands floating in the sky and holes in the ground

That's a good point, actually. TotK Hyrule's aesthetic is already fucked with the half-baked approach, might as well have gone full-throttle with it.

tears of the kingdom wishes it could be as good as skyward sword

instead its just another boring open world game

That and a pitch black underground system thats a pain to trek through.

was also super disappointed in the depths honestly. The first visit is scary. Its like an alien world and you dont know what youre gonna find down there.

Seems like such a cool concept but then after like 3 visits youve seen pretty much everything it has to offer. I wish they wouldve made some really scary depths exclusive enemies

Agreed. Also, the Gloomhands by all rights should had been all over the place down there, but they're actually more common on the overworld.

I wish they wouldve made more enemies like gloomhands. Those things are terrifying and feel like monsters made of evil.

I feel like the depths shouldve been full of more atrocities like that in general, not even just the hands

Remember the old concept art of giant creatures from BotW?

The Depths could've used stuff like this. I realize they ultimately want Zelda to be sorta kid-friendly but come on...lean into the creepy a little!

Sorry, best we can do is bokoblins with gloom on them

Nothing about skyward sword is good other than maybe giving link some badass moments lol. Easily the worst of all the 3D games

Oh and the desert area

i disagree SS is my fave zelda period

good story fun dungeons likable characters and your items are useful

where as to me breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom are bloated messes where it takes forever to get anywhere and the story was cut down to almost nothing and the stupid breakable weapons ruin the combat

Not playing a game in the zelda series is wild to me, especially a readily available game.

BotW made me quit Zelda. Its too different. I play Xenoblade now
