    With the hype around Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, I have finally started playing Breath of the Wild and it’s been a blast so far. I love the basically sandbox world with a suggestion of storyline, it’s been so fun to just explore.

      I went back this past week and finally beat BotW. The first 20 or so hours made a great impression on me, but as the pace of finding shrines slowed down, I started to get bored. I don’t have a lot of time for games, and if I play for 30 minutes and didn’t really find/do anything except walk around, I’d feel like I wasted my time.

      It’s a good game, but I don’t think I really enjoyed it. If I was in the mood for Zelda, I’d probably re-play Skyward Sword or Spirit Tracks instead. I’ll probably give TotK a try in a few years when it’s not so pricey.

        I get what you mean, when things slow down the big world can seem more empty and less fun and fulfilling especially when you’re otherwise busy. I have no doubt that day will cone for me too. Until then, I’ll enjoy it and save storyline stuff to keep a little purpose on the horizon.

        Sounds like Skyward Sword and Spirit Tracks are a bit more directed then? If that’s the case, I’ll keep that in mind as well on my Zelda journey.
