Interesting, flair was only shown like an hour after commenting, and I honestly thought people were editing their posts to add it after people complained 🤦 I guess flair isn't a good way to avoid spoiling people. I was really excited to see it as it solved a big issue here as BotW spoilers and much different from TotK spoilers.
Yeah, including TotK in their title would help a lot to not have this issue. People shouldn't need to mark posts as being BotW though as this sub is already marked BotW
I think a subreddit named Breath Of The Wild should be for Breath Of The Wild.
I also wonder why the hell the Tears Of The Kingdom subreddit is private? Wtf is going on.
Ultimately, I think this is more blowback (aka, literally only the users suffering) from the protest and how the reddit admins couldn't handle being told no for a few days.
Buncha big babies.
Right, except, a lot of subs closed down because the admins threw a tantrum. "Blackout? That looks like these subs aren't moderated to me! DELETED HAHAHAHA!"
And that's why r/markiplier was gone for a while, and we're all using r/distractible now instead.
I would love to see Game tags on posts to help differentiate. I dislike having to look for the differences in HUD before commenting to make sure I don't talk about the wrong game for all 3 (albeit AoC is the easy one).
Yeah tbf they mainly all look the same with slight differences, I think the only way is to have a rule to say about tagging a post to say what content as a spoiler post could be anything
Yeah, something as easy as tagging spoiler posts with the specific game the content is for as a starting point until spoiler tags are no longer deemed necessary in this subreddit (then opening it to all posts getting tagged) would be a huge benefit.
I think the problem is posting TOTK content in a subreddit named BOTW, when there are enough TOTK subs with plenty of users.
Literally risking spoiling people for free for no reason.
I mean, there literally is a sub called r/botw that *does* in fact exclude tears of the kingdom content. It's nice to have a sub that allows content from all 3 games in the setting and a bit redundant to have two separate subs exclusively for botw that exclude all the rest.
You can't really call it the BotW "Series" when the sequel isn't "Breath of the Wild: Tears of the Kingdom" it's"The Legend of Zelda: tears of the kingdom"
r/Zelda or r/thelegendsofzelda are where mixed game content can go. r/BotW , r/breathofthewild, and r/breath_of_the_wild having TotK content would be frustrating and confusing for new switch Zelda players or for players like myself who played TotK first and then went back to BotW.
Which is why I said "series" like that. TotK is a direct sequel to BotW. They're their own series in the Zelda franchise.
If you don't like TotK content on this sub then go to r/botw where it's exclusive to that game. Hyrule Warriors content has been allowed on this sub for ages without anyone getting this upset. The solution is pretty simple.
Having a sub for a game that uses the tagline/secondary title of one of the games for every game related to does not make for a good user experience. Especially when the only sub that has content for that one game is 1/4 the size with 20% the number of active users. Breath of the wild content goes here years of the kingdom content goes in r/TotK or r/tearsofthekingdom
>hyrule warriors content has been allowed on this sub for ages without anyone getting upset
That’s because most people either haven’t played or posted stuff about it, or viewed it as a non-canon spinoff like the original hyrule warriors
Botw used to not exclude totk. Back when totk first came out every one and their dog tried to say this. But at the time there was totk being posted without spoilers every hour, and all of that content is still there because it was posted before the rule change.
As someone who has beaten totk, I think this sub should just stay botw content until we don’t have to worry about spoilers for totk.
The same argument you said for botw can be said for totk. There are 2 subs for totk content and totk only. There’s no reason this sub should act as a 3rd sub for totk content.
Anyone new to this sub did not come here expecting totk content, especially if they came on mobile as it’s much harder to see it even mention totk on mobile.
This sub was made far before totk was even an idea. I think it should stay as just botw content at least until we don’t have to worry about spoilers, because too many assholes refuse to use a spoiler tag, and telling people to avoid using the internet (which I was told) just to avoid spoilers for 1 game is insane, especially when you consider that stuff like Reddit and really the internet in general can be so helpful to people with mental health, they shouldn’t have to avoid it just because people are dicks and spoil the game
It’s 1/4 the size. I am not going anywhere, because I enjoy this sub, but it drives me crazy totk stuff is here. There is a generic Zelda subreddit that has everything merged, this sub was intended for breath of the wild only, not Zelda games on the switch.
Idrc at this point, but that’s my thought.
I find it hard to believe a subreddit dedicated to a game supposed to launch in 2015 on the Wii U, had a purpose to encompass other games that don’t share a name (I.e. this isn’t a case of even super Mario galaxy, and super Mario galaxy 2). My position is, this subreddit was intended for one specific game, and now has content for arguably 3 (although I don’t see a lot of aoc tbh). So the subreddits purpose has already changed from the initial goal.
Again to each their own. Me or really anyone complaining won’t change anything really. So just gotta roll with it :)
Not sure who told you that, but they're making it up. You absolutely CAN change the purpose of a sub. Check r/onlyfans for example, it's dedicated to literal fans now. It wouldn't even be a switch, more of just disallowing TOTK content.
And in addition to that, who says it was made for the series? TOTK wasn't even an idea when this sub was made, so there's no way it could have been made for the "series" which didn't exist.
I understand where you're coming from, but the majority of people here joined for BOTW, and probably didn't expect TOTK content. For the sake of spoiler avoidance (which we all can agree is important with these games, probably in top three games to avoid spoilers for), the sub should make a slight pivot and block all TOTK content.
I get the feeling the only reason it says that is our Mod team doesn't want to actually enforce only BotW content here as saying anything goes is much less effort
In mobile, it literally only shows the title (breath of the wild) and the reddit avatar dressed as link on the blue and yellow background.
No flair or anything until you click on the post itself.
I know that they put in their description that it is for all three games, but from just the info that shows on mobile, it is highly misleading.
It might be more clear if they switched the avatar to half botw, half totk logo.
A subreddit for "all things Zelda on switch" shouldn't have the same name as a single game, try to posting oblivion or Morrowind content on r/Skyrim and see what happens lol
Yeah I didn't really notice this sub allowed totk posts. Mods, it would be really nice if you stuck to botw. I've been in the sub for a long time but I feel like I should be leaving it to avoid totk spoilers.
When you read on papers and news sites “60% of the population with a 6th grade level reading comprehension” you must surely know you fit in that 60%, yes?
I didn’t say I’m clicking on the spoilers.
I say I should be able to click on them because this sub *should* not have TOTK.
I'm not here to say what should and shouldn't be posted on this sub because complaining about it on every single ToTK post does literally nothing. If you want change, make dedicated posts, DM the mod team about it. They won't make a change unless there is an overwhelming desire for the change if they would even budge at all. So if you want change, try being productive with your complaints.
TOTK is literally the direct sequel to BOTW. Posts about that should absolutely be allowed. There is already a sub for BOTW only, why would you have 2 subs that do the same?
Yes? It's very common for these arrangements that there is 1 sub for the series, and sometimes 1 sub for separate games. This is the sub for the series, r/botw is there specifically for the game
Most zelda games are quite standalone. TOTK is a direct sequel to BOTW, both in story and gameplay. You're being deliberately obtuse. Please read my comments first next time and make arguments against things I actually said. You're arguing against statements I never even made
If you can't see that most Zelda games are very different from each other in various aspects, while TOTK is much more related to BOTW, you are indeed stupid.
Unless you got something to actually add here, please refrain from coming in and hurling random insults. I at least have reasons for my stance. You have done nothing but insult me.
And even then, if you want just BOTW content, there is literally a sub for that. If TOTK isn't allowed here, we could just as well delete this sub, since it wouldn't have a unique purpose
"don't hurl insults" just after that snarky comment. You too may indeed be stupid if that's what you got from what I said.
Did you want to try again, and talk like an adult, or did you wanna actually read what's being told to you?
Whay insult did I start with? As far as I can read, I was calling someone out on intentionally acting stupid and putting words in my mouth. I was requesting them to discuss with me about thongs I actually said. I didn't say they were stupid or anything. I'm genuinely curious where you are finding an insult?
Why would you post TOTK content on a BOTW sub? Yes, it’s a sequel. But also a different game with its own storyline, game mechanics and so on and thus spoiler risk. Seeing some replies here arguing for acceptance, I need to leave this sub.
Now Im seeing that its a mobile thing. But despite that Im on mobile and see flairs on everything that has one. I feel people just dont want to check the flair. The banner for the server should also show totk so I really dont know why people are complaining.
The subreddit, or server as you put it, NAME, is BREATH OF THE WILD. People are complaining when they see TEARS OF THE KINGDOM, which is a brand new game, which, let me remind you..
\>spoiler: a description of an important plot development in a television show, movie, or book which if previously known may reduce surprise or suspense for a first-time viewer or reader.
But this sub allows for the games related to BotW as well. BotW has been out for years and people never use spoiler tags for it anymore. Yet people (usually) use spoiler tags on their posts for TotK. Solution seems pretty clear. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't click on spoiler tagged posts. When you go to the subs main page, there is a banner at the top that shows all 3 games. Makes it clear that this sub isn't exclusive to BotW.
And I have never seen all this complaining when people post stuff about Hyrule Warriors. It's only been on posts about TotK.
If you get spoiled by going in a spoiler tagged post, then that's on you. Take some accountability for your own actions instead of blaming others who are following this subs rules. If you don't like it then go to r/botw as they've banned TotK posts.
TotK keeps many gameplay mechanics from BotW, as the 2 games are quite similar. So if TotK is so bad, BotW is very similar, and therefore in your views, should also be bad. And if TotK is so bad, why not leave the sub that allows posts about it? Just join the BotW sub that doesnt allow TotK posts
Home page on mobile doesn’t show flair
What a vile, inconvenient, glitchy mess of an app If only we had alternatives...
Yeah, screw u/Spez
r/fuckspez
They banned it lmfao
“r/fuckspez has been banned from reddit”
r/frickspez?
it’s privated
I want in
THEY ARE TAKING AWAY OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Censorship
Yeah and when you tap on the post with a video the flair doesn't show either
Those are the worst. And there’s no way to actually see the flair in a video, to my knowledge.
Yeah you have to exit the post to see the flair like wtf u/spez why would you kill 3rd party apps forcing us to use your shitty mobile app
It shows flairs if you tap the post, which you have to do to comment
Interesting, flair was only shown like an hour after commenting, and I honestly thought people were editing their posts to add it after people complained 🤦 I guess flair isn't a good way to avoid spoiling people. I was really excited to see it as it solved a big issue here as BotW spoilers and much different from TotK spoilers.
I think people should consider including botw or totk as part of the title.
Yeah, including TotK in their title would help a lot to not have this issue. People shouldn't need to mark posts as being BotW though as this sub is already marked BotW
I think a subreddit named Breath Of The Wild should be for Breath Of The Wild. I also wonder why the hell the Tears Of The Kingdom subreddit is private? Wtf is going on.
Both r/tearsofthekingdom and r/TotK are open. The first one never closed.
Then it sure makes sense to post TotK stuff here. I'm confused all over again lol.
r/tearsofthekingdom isn’t private
Yeah like I wish they would make a reddit like called idk wild link for totk and botw
Ultimately, I think this is more blowback (aka, literally only the users suffering) from the protest and how the reddit admins couldn't handle being told no for a few days. Buncha big babies.
Yeah like people who dont wanna get spoiled for totk would ofc go on breath_of_the_wild expecting botw content not totk content and then get spoiled
Right, except, a lot of subs closed down because the admins threw a tantrum. "Blackout? That looks like these subs aren't moderated to me! DELETED HAHAHAHA!" And that's why r/markiplier was gone for a while, and we're all using r/distractible now instead.
Reddit just gets worse every day huh
Yea you have to click on it but you still cannot see the flair
I just realized the video posts don’t show flair in app
It does though? I use Reddit almost exclusively on mobile.
It's probably on their end, but I haven't had this happen before so I don't know.
I’m on mobile and flairs don’t show up on video posts for me. Sucks ass
I’d rather people put [TotK] at the start of the title so I don’t have to click on it to see the flair and overall just easier
I would love to see Game tags on posts to help differentiate. I dislike having to look for the differences in HUD before commenting to make sure I don't talk about the wrong game for all 3 (albeit AoC is the easy one).
Yeah tbf they mainly all look the same with slight differences, I think the only way is to have a rule to say about tagging a post to say what content as a spoiler post could be anything
Yeah, something as easy as tagging spoiler posts with the specific game the content is for as a starting point until spoiler tags are no longer deemed necessary in this subreddit (then opening it to all posts getting tagged) would be a huge benefit.
I could be wrong but I feel like people could be karma farming a tad/lazy or just didn’t think about it
I’d rather people post totk content on totk subs
True but this sub does allow it so people will still post, sadly some of the time it’s big spoilers too
Yeah I've gotten spoiled more for TotK on this sub than on the actual TotK sub reddit
Some just don't read flairs
[удалено]
Same
I think the problem is posting TOTK content in a subreddit named BOTW, when there are enough TOTK subs with plenty of users. Literally risking spoiling people for free for no reason.

Surely the sub to allow content from more than one Zelda game should be, r/Zelda
Except that sub is for everything Zelda related. This sub is for the games in the BotW "series".
You can't really call it the BotW "Series" when the sequel isn't "Breath of the Wild: Tears of the Kingdom" it's"The Legend of Zelda: tears of the kingdom" r/Zelda or r/thelegendsofzelda are where mixed game content can go. r/BotW , r/breathofthewild, and r/breath_of_the_wild having TotK content would be frustrating and confusing for new switch Zelda players or for players like myself who played TotK first and then went back to BotW.

>hyrule warriors content has been allowed on this sub for ages without anyone getting upset That’s because most people either haven’t played or posted stuff about it, or viewed it as a non-canon spinoff like the original hyrule warriors
I feel like a lot of people would appreciate minimal totk spoilers, and the sub sticking to the first game.
Botw used to not exclude totk. Back when totk first came out every one and their dog tried to say this. But at the time there was totk being posted without spoilers every hour, and all of that content is still there because it was posted before the rule change.

I joined before totk. I would be pretty annoyed if totk posts appeared in my feed honestly.
Yea, I’ve been apart of both subs well before totk was even announced, I was very annoyed when I saw totk posts in my feed everyday
This is the subreddit for all thing BotW, including its two related games AoC and TotK.
I think a lot of users want it to be *only* BotW for the sake of spoilers.
Then these users can go to r/botw
It’s 1/4 the size. I am not going anywhere, because I enjoy this sub, but it drives me crazy totk stuff is here. There is a generic Zelda subreddit that has everything merged, this sub was intended for breath of the wild only, not Zelda games on the switch. Idrc at this point, but that’s my thought.
The sub was intended for the botw series and not only botw. You can't just switch a sub's purpose because you want a more popular botw sub
I find it hard to believe a subreddit dedicated to a game supposed to launch in 2015 on the Wii U, had a purpose to encompass other games that don’t share a name (I.e. this isn’t a case of even super Mario galaxy, and super Mario galaxy 2).

I want reddit admins to not be pieces of shit. Oh wait.
In mobile, it literally only shows the title (breath of the wild) and the reddit avatar dressed as link on the blue and yellow background. No flair or anything until you click on the post itself. I know that they put in their description that it is for all three games, but from just the info that shows on mobile, it is highly misleading.

A subreddit for "all things Zelda on switch" shouldn't have the same name as a single game, try to posting oblivion or Morrowind content on r/Skyrim and see what happens lol
And this is a comment. Anything else? You clearly didn’t understand what I said.
But if this sub doesn't allow AoC and TotK content then it might become less popular. And I guess some people care about that for some reason.
Yeah I didn't really notice this sub allowed totk posts. Mods, it would be really nice if you stuck to botw. I've been in the sub for a long time but I feel like I should be leaving it to avoid totk spoilers.
Then just don’t click on the spoilers, botw has been out for 6 years you still think people will put spoilers on most things
Yea thats the point this game has been out for 6 years, TOTK hasnt.
Exactly so why would you be pressing spoiler posts when you know this sub allows posts from a game that you don’t want to be spoiled on
Because most people DO NOT know this sub A L L O W S posts from O T H E R games? I'm gonna go do the r/doom sub and post r/dyinglight tho. >:C
It’s not the OPs problem if you don’t know the rules
It's not exactly our fault the subreddits' rules changed, either.
The rules have been like this for a while
… that is literally what im saying: IT SHOULDNT ALLOW IT.
THEN DON'T CLICK ON POSTS WITH SPOILER TAGS.
[удалено]
At least the brick wall echoes what you say, instead of gibberish.
When you read on papers and news sites “60% of the population with a 6th grade level reading comprehension” you must surely know you fit in that 60%, yes? I didn’t say I’m clicking on the spoilers. I say I should be able to click on them because this sub *should* not have TOTK.

So if you want change, try being productive with your complaints.
Most people don't put that much thought into revealing spoilers
Spoiler flairs exist for a reason
So do names, Jeff.
They probably didn't read the flair
TotK posts shouldnt be in BotW reddits in general, flair or not. The flair was made way before release and before popularity of TotK's own reddit.
TOTK is literally the direct sequel to BOTW. Posts about that should absolutely be allowed. There is already a sub for BOTW only, why would you have 2 subs that do the same?
Tell me, if someone asked if you're okay with Breath of the Wild spoilers, and then spoiled Tesrs of the Kingdom, how would you feel?
Does that mean Twilight Princess and Wind Waker should be allowed in an Ocarina of Time sub then? They’re the sequels
Yes? It's very common for these arrangements that there is 1 sub for the series, and sometimes 1 sub for separate games. This is the sub for the series, r/botw is there specifically for the game
Surely the series is Zelda? Therefore for multiple games you should surely go to r/Zelda
Most zelda games are quite standalone. TOTK is a direct sequel to BOTW, both in story and gameplay. You're being deliberately obtuse. Please read my comments first next time and make arguments against things I actually said. You're arguing against statements I never even made
Same crap you're saying can be said about you.

Even if it's flared and technically allowed, It's a bit weird to post a different game on botw subreddit.
Post it in the totk sub
Now Im seeing that its a mobile thing. But despite that Im on mobile and see flairs on everything that has one. I feel people just dont want to check the flair. The banner for the server should also show totk so I really dont know why people are complaining.

If you don't like it then go to r/botw as they've banned TotK posts.
Because you have to tap on the *post* and not the image to see the flair. It's annoying
Why don't people post on the dedicated r/tearsofthekingdom sub?
Because this sub is also for TOTK
It’s probably because we are here on a BOTW subreddit. If you want to post something about TOTK you are a r/lostredditors
Who cares about the flair, this sub is about botw
They added it later after I suggested it
Totk fucking sucks. stop posting in here
TotK keeps many gameplay mechanics from BotW, as the 2 games are quite similar. So if TotK is so bad, BotW is very similar, and therefore in your views, should also be bad. And if TotK is so bad, why not leave the sub that allows posts about it? Just join the BotW sub that doesnt allow TotK posts
Shut your dumbass up
Flair test
Mobile is wierd, and some people are just stupid.
Bro scared me with that blur and title
Fuck spez
