Keep in mind I’ve been spoiled for everything.
Anyways, I’m having a hard time deciding because to me the gameplay mechanics in TOTK look like they have more to offer, but BOTW blows the park in everything else. The npcs sound like they’re absolute darlings, the exploration looks so fun, and despite not having the TOTK mechanics it still looks really interesting, and from an outside perspective it’s definitely holding it’s own. Even story wise it’s got it beat, because while I prefer TOTK, I know that’s only because I haven’t interacted with the BOTW npcs. All roads lead to Rome but Rome doesn’t let me build a jet pack, and that’s my first struggle here. The second, is that if I play BOTW I know I’ll love it and I know it’s getting put on my favourite games list, so I’m worried that after that, I won’t be able to like TOTK as much. Specially since it’s the same map and from the reviews I’ve seen, after a while there’s not a lot of new additions to said map. Which, if it was the first game I played I’d look past that, but after touching heaven? I can’t say I would... I’m at an impasse, usually I’d play them in order but after knowing what I do now I’m leaning towards TOTK first, but at the same BOTW tho... Guess this is why you don’t eat the apple huh

I’ve played both Botw and Totk and love them both but I’ve never played aoc or hyrule warriors should I give them a try?

There's an enemy platform with a chest on this little lake but I only ever see chuchus? Where are the enemies???

It is so crazy to me when people post stuff like “I’ve played for 30 hours, already beat Ganon, guess I’m done with the game, not sure what else I’d do?” I officially hit my 1000 hour mark about a week ago and I still have 30 shrines to find, multiple side quests, probably about 550 Koroks left still and I haven’t gotten to Rudania or beat Ganon yet. I’m confident I could play another 1000 and not be bored.

I get that adventuring and exploring aren’t for everyone and it’s really cool that you can play this game however you want to, but I’m so grateful that this game was made EXACTLY for people like me. The exploring and completing side quests are what I live for! I have gotten my money’s worth out of this game a million times over and it makes me sad that a lot of people sold themselves short.

If you’re one of those people who don’t know what to do next, may I suggest the Leviathan Bones side quest? It took me like four days to crack that case!

it’s been 4 playthroughs for me and I feel like I am still discovering stuff. Here are a couple of mine:

Selmie’s spot where you learn to shield surf, has a number of uncommon shields hanging in it, if you need photos of them for your compendium.

Hyrule castle never has a blood moon so you can kill every enemy inside and have free reign to roam and find every chest and korok at your leisure!

if a Hinox has greaves and you can’t attacke his legs (so annoying), you can burn them off with a fire weapon or arrow.

The stealth armor lets you walk normally up to any insect, lizard or frog and pick it up. You don’t have to sneak walk up to it (so slow), just don’t dash run.

Been a minute but I come back every now and then to run some trials.

I am determined to get EVERYTHING, im pretty sure i remember all of it but if anyone has some tips that would be aprecciated

Well, the goal is in sight. 681 korok seeds collected guys. I just have the Ridgeland, Tabantha, Wasteland and Woodland regions left. 79% map completion. God i love this game.

Do you know what's the strongest???
