Thanks to GreatSong1 for sending in the news tip!
Why no master mode though?
I also wish there was gona be a master mode, I actually held off playing with the hope that it would be available with dlc, but it looks like there won’t be any dlc.
Looks like Nintendo are very busy now with switch 2 software I expect.
The good thing about totk and botw is you can make the game more challenging if you limit heart increases and the amount of cooked meals you carry at one time. Difficult to adhere to though because if you’ve got that certain ingredient and you’re about to die you’ll just end up using it.
Not to dump on Zelda because I love the franchise but it’s kind of gone to the birds this last few years.
When BotW kind of ended with a “the end” and no master mode unless I purchased it, I was saddened since most other games gave it to you as a reward for beating it.
Granted I know the game seems a little more difficult due to building and the monsters taking more umff to take on,
But I’ve been kind of unimpressed and see it as a majora’s mask-esque game.
Now I didn’t hate MM, I just thought it was a little overhyped because it was a spinoff of OoT rather than a OoT remix.
I get the story is different and adventure varies in MM but it seemed like an idea OoT was potentially going to be, but then wasn’t and they thought “well… here is a part 2.”
That’s how I feel Tears… it’s a “what didn’t we use on Wild? Mmhmm, uhuhhh…
Okay…
Let’s put it in and call it Tears of the Kingdom.”
I agree with Hateno Village choice, I always find my self walking around it listening to the music and thinking about things not related to the game.
Without master mode or dlc, the is not much reason to replay the game. Let’s face it, even the original nes Zelda had a second quest. It feels like Nintendo was done spending time and money on this project and this has left a lot of fans not happy. Most fans of talk to you would willingly pay extra for a DLC or master mode. It just doesn’t make sense why not do this.
Most of the Zelda games had Master Mode, as long as you beat it.
