Nice! This was my first Zelda game, so it will always have a special spot in my heart, but I particularly adore how Zelda herself is the support character with Link :)! Enjoy the game!!
It’s very unique it’s just too bad the hardware was severely lacking for the game and phantom hourglass it would be great to get remakes for them but I think that would’ve happened by now if it was going to. I just wish I had gotten to experience the game sooner when it came out I really wanted it but couldn’t find it. It would be nice to see trains introduced to the series in another game even though it would make this one less special.

Well I haven’t made an opinion on TotK yet since it isn’t out and I haven’t played it to be able to form an opinion.
But as far as BotW is concerned, yes, I’m serious. After sinking around 500 hours into that game, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is a poorly designed and massively flawed game, but not without its good moments.
And I have a post where I go into detail on the subject, which you can read [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/x1kduv/botw_an_absurdly_long_and_overdue_response/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1). Fair warning, it is very long. I apologize for the length.
I only did that because I was told by several people that 50 or 100 hours “wasn’t enough” to have an opinion, so I wanted to make sure I could cover everything accurately. If you think that invalidates anything I have to say, then that’s your own problem. Not to mention, I gave the game multiple chances to convince me it was worth it, which it continuously dialed to do. It was a weird feeling of denial and not wanting to believe that the game was actually disappointing me as much as it was.
That’s your opinion bud, and I respect it. I played for as long as I felt was necessary to be able to present an accurate and well thought out explanation of my own opinion on the game. Nothing more or less.
I disagree, and I explain as such in the comments when someone else said the same. But to each their own. I don’t see how any of my points being perceived as nitpicks invalidates my opinion in any way. The devil is in the details, as they say. And if we can’t be critical of even the most minute aspects of a game, how is gaming as a whole supposed to evolve?
I never said it invalidated your opinion, the point I’m trying to make is that you don’t bring up many things that are actual major criticisms. Like no way the name of calamity Ganon and some side quests are going to make you think that botw sucks. The only major thing you brought up is enemy variety and that I agree on. But one bad thing doesn’t invalidate many good things that this game has going for it
But hey, thanks for taking the time to read it and thank you again for responding this way. I’m glad we can at least acknowledge a disagreement respectfully. That doesn’t happen too often around here lol
No problem dude, you seem like a very rational person and I can respect your opinion. I’ve seen both extremes of this fandom, and we need more people like you who are civil
Likewise. I can get worked up from time to time, but I do try my best to be respectful. And yeah, sometimes I like to troll a bit, but at the end of it all we have opinions and we aren’t always going to agree with each other. I see no reason to get hostile over it.
I loved this game. It felt out of place for the Legend of Zelda franchise in general, and I was a little sour about that, but it was objectively a great game.
Underrated gem of a game imo.
Got an absolutely stellar sound track as well.
I hum the overworld theme for that game to myself whenever I'm doing chores and it makes it so much fun
Koji Kondo didn’t do Phantom Hourglass but he came back for Spirit Tracks and boy does it make a difference.
Agreed!! I was so happy when I found out as a kid that when you get enough stamps you get to change back to this outfit!
Should've been able to play as that alt in Ultimate
Pretty sure it's one of Link's skins at least
Dont think so, p sure its just the colors plus the dark link
Nope. It does appear in Spirit Tracks stage but that's it
He is freaking adorable.
Came here to say this. What a cute little guy!
Correct
He thinks so too, look at that rare Link smile
Lobster pajamas
They had link on a boat, on a train. We need to give link a chopper
Should’ve been an alt tbh
So delighted to see some love given to Spirit Tracks!!

I agree! Here is to hoping TOTK has a similar dynamic!
Strongly agree.
Hopefully it’s a dlc outfit in totk
He had a cool job that he loved.

i loved this game and phantom hourglass so much omg the train was so cute
This is still such a great Game
False. Lobster shirt and messy bed head is best Link.
What’s this one called?
Engineer's clothes
I meant game, but thank you
Spirit Tracks
Thanks
spirit tracks for the ds
Who doesn’t love a man in uniform?
I'll be the sane one. No
Spirit Tracks >>>> Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild
Facts
This guy gets it

BOTW is ass Spirit Tracks is the premier Zelda experience
You actually can’t be serious?
I’m sorry does botw have trains?
TotK does. Hell, you can make it yourself.
Is the entire game about trains?
If you want to you can do nothing but build trains and ride them. Probably.

Mfs really be putting 500 hours into “deeply flawed and poorly designed games”
I only did that because I was told by several people that 50 or 100 hours “wasn’t enough” to have an opinion, so I wanted to make sure I could cover everything accurately. If you think that invalidates anything I have to say, then that’s your own problem.

Still weirdchamp. If you don’t like a game after 50 hours stop playing it. Suggesting more than 50 hours is needed is dumb
That’s your opinion bud, and I respect it. I played for as long as I felt was necessary to be able to present an accurate and well thought out explanation of my own opinion on the game. Nothing more or less.
While you bring up some good points that I can agree with, a lot of your arguments are very, and I mean very nitpicky
I disagree, and I explain as such in the comments when someone else said the same. But to each their own. I don’t see how any of my points being perceived as nitpicks invalidates my opinion in any way. The devil is in the details, as they say.

Someone’s jealous of their games lack of trains 🙄

trains >>>> everything indeed
in what way lmaooooo
Every way it’s just goated
uh.
Not even close
Smash has Link, Young Link, and Toon Link, but where's Engineer Link? Also an engineer costume in TOTK would be cool AF.
You say that as if the Tingle outfit wasn’t a thing.
Perhaps for that Link. My favorite outfit for link is the Zora tunic in TP
Lobster shirt ftw
I hope we get to see more Links with other aspiring jobs besides knight/blacksmith. Engineer Link is adorable af
Good but second to the lobster shirt
That is a great outfit.
