Ive restarted it probably 20 times... Currently done the elephant shrine and working on the bird one. Done probably 40 small shrines... I hate this game. I feel like it's a chore to do anything.
The weapon breaking system is legit broken for gaming, traversing anywhere takes what feels like years and it's never fun getting there. The stanima system is absolutely stupid. The difficulty doesn't make sense, the ancient enemies are unfair and confusing on how to counter or kill.
I legitimately hate this game.. and I'm the biggest Zelda fan.. Zelda collectables, Zelda clothing, Zelda wallet (obviously I don't wear these), Zelda backgrounds.. hell my notification sound is the Zelda secret sound. But I find absolutely nothing enjoyable about this game and I feel like Nintendo let me down.
I get it's crazy popular for others, and it's got great reviews... But I hate it and I don't know what to do to like it.. being a Zelda fan I should like this right??? Am I doing something wrong? I don't have a horse and no idea how to get one.. though I feel it's pointless at this point. Cooking is a chore and I have a bazillion monster parts that I don't know what to do with. Trying to get somewhere and oh it starts raining so I either wait forever for it to stop so I can spend a half hour climbing a mountain and falling to my death anyways or go around and maybe shield slide... Until my shield breaks... And I gotta walk now anyways...
Someone help me like this game lol
You know, I'm all for the weekly "I hate Odyssey" and "I hate BoTW" threads, but I'm always blown away by the initial posts, in terms of how oddly the OP has decided to play the game.
You've done 40 shrines, 2 divine beats, and have "no idea" how to get a horse? Like, how is that even possible? There is literally a stable on the way to the first destination the game gives you after the plateau. It's almost impossible to miss. And there's like 15 others in the game, not to even mention the wild horses at dozens of locations. The stables get permanently marked on your map as you visit them. I mean, it would be difficult enough to believe never finding a horse with your current progress, but add in the fact that you "restarted 20 times" (I can't even wrap my mind around why anyone would want to do this) and I call BS.
Same for korok seeds. Restarted 20x and still had no clue what they did? Even though it's imoossible to miss the korok dude if you go the direction the game guides you to go? In all 20 restarts you never went that way? Or you weren't curious enough to take 2 seconds to Google what they did? Sorry, another thing I find pretty hard to believe and absurd.
What I find hilarious, and predictable, is how everyone bitched and moaned about how easy every game in the Zelda franchise was for the past couple of decades. But now, when there's even a SLIGHT challenge introduced by weather, weapon breaking, etc- suddenly that's unacceptable and "unfair". This is coming from people who heap praise over games like Dark Souls and anything that "brutal" and "unforgiving". Also, nobody is forcing you to "shield slide" when it's raining, there's a million other things that can be done.
Just stop playing. No need to make a thread asking others to "convince" you to like it, as you never will. These threads are always the same. 75% of the responses are the validating "There's nothing wrong with you, it's ok not to like it, congratulations you're still amazing!" and the rest are either drive by shit-posting, or agreeing that the game is "shit". There's zero chance anyone will tell you anything in this thread that's going to change your mind about the game, same as the last 62,928 "BoTW sucks" threads.
Nintendo "let you down"? I don't even know what that statement is supposed to mean, since it's irrefutable that millions upon millions of others deeply enjoyed the game and the direction they took. You're aware they didn't develop this game over years, exclusively for you. I found it to be an incredible experience, because I went in with an open mind. That's not the case for you, just stop playing it, instead of creating the obligatory "I hate BoTW" thread with the false pretence of wanting to be convinced.
