♦ Rules ♦
1. Stay Civil
This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.
2. Mark Spoilers
It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Breath of the Wild) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.
3. Offtopic Posts
Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.
4. No Advertisements
It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.
5. Provide Sources
If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)
6. Suggestions are Welcome!
Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

I can see elements of it going to new games, but I don't think they will make building and fusing major components of future games. Especially if they don't keep using such huge open worlds.
Speaking of open worlds, I can't see them making a bigger map than TOTK any time soon. With the Depths and Sky Islands, it is honestly overwhelmingly large.
Amen to the massive world - I'm actively playing, working on many side quests, and I feel like I'm hardly scratching the surface of the world let alone all of the nooks and crannies.
I've got to be more than 100hrs in and I have done two dungeons. I don't remember Breath of the Wild being as distracting and massive as this one is.
TOTK makes BOTW look even more like a proof of concept than it already did to me. Like you said, Tears is just full of more things to do than BOTW had and that was exactly what I wanted from it.
Me too. This is exactly the game I wanted. I live the mechanics of BotW. This is just that, but new and huge and massively fun. I'm loving that it is a direct sequel.
It's taking so long for me to open up the depths. Honestly it took a while for me to open up the main world in general. I'm really enjoying the game, and I plan on completing as many of the side quests as possible because I do not really foresee myself replaying this again.
