I almost forgot there was a story in BotW. The gameplay was so good it overshadowed what little story there was.

Gonna be honest I don’t remember shit about breath of the wild’s story, or really any Zelda game for that matter. It’s never been the selling point of the series for me.

I’m fkn pumped for next Friday!

I know this opinion has been stated till ears bleed but hearing the English voices again after a few years made me wince a little. Zelda sounds like a teen trying their best impression of queen liz, King Hyrule sounds like a 20-something y/o… Hopefully totk has JP audio from the get go.

When I first played BOTW I was in the camp of “this game has no story!” because I focused on the gameplay and didn’t pay attention to the story/find all the memories. The presentation may not be the best (I didn’t like having to seek out all the memories), but after another playthrough a few years later where I found all the memories, BOTW’s story has become one of my favorites in the Zelda series (maybe of all time). The final memory where >!Zelda’s powers awaken to save Link, and when Fi talks to Zelda as Link is dying!<, made me tear up. The final cutscene in the Champion’s Ballad >!where they take the group picture!< made me ugly cry
edit: added spoiler tags which probably aren’t necessary lol but wanted to be safe. Am also rewatching the Champion’s Ballad scene and tearing up again… something about the music and knowing that all the Champions are dead always gets me

There wasn’t enough story, to need a story recap…
They lose war, link goes to sleep for 100 years, wakes up, talks to 4 dudes, if you want, then beats up Gabooner.
But I get it, hype video.

Wow. Pretty nice if Nintendo to have a recap video for story. BotW is top 3 Zelda for me EASY, and the gameplay really kept me going along with exploration. Can’t wait to do that again! Warframe got done releasing addon content (though buggy as hell) called Duviri. It reminds me of Zelda, and a souls game with Rogue Lite game play. It feels like they’re preparing me to leave their game for a while lol. I’ve been getting that itch, and can’t wait for TotK. If anything, I’m going to be overwhelmed when I start it like I was with BotW at first. Game play was so fun (except for a couple of things) The story kinda came last with all the breaks between it. Nice to be able to recap with it without having to start a whole new game.

A lot of that was new to me and I’ve played this game three times! I always skipped the cutscenes just to get to the gameplay! 😂

What story?

I haven’t even beaten the game cuz I get too sleepy when playing it

I liked the story. The characters were good, the motivation were good and there is a lot of hidden secrets ( king of hyrule tomb being in the great plateau meaning he escaped the attack to the castle, the zonai, the fights at fort gate o and lanayru fortress or that thing, and all the theories).
But you had to dig a little. The cutscenes we’re good though. It’s not as complex or long as skyward sword or twilight princess but it was fine.
Tolk will fix that with more cutscenes and the story being more active as it’s happening now instead of 100 years ago

Ah yes, let’s reminisce over the worst part.

Do I need to know this before TOTK? I never finished BOTW unfortunately

As long as I don’t have to hear Zelda tell me the “Blood moon rises once again.”
stalememeskehan
I still have 0 memory of the new rito guy you meet to replace revali. It’s amazing

Today I just realized I never beat the game. My save is literally standing in front of the last boss and was last saved in 2018

I hope TOTK have meanigful quests that entwine with the story of the game and not just rupee bots
KidSparta
It may be wishful thinking, but them making makes me think the story is going to be a lot more in depth and grand this time, considering they want to make sure people remember everything leading up to it

What story?

Where’s the part where you spend hours hunting for korok seeds?
But in all seriousness, I’m replaying it and just finished Mipha’s part 😭

Watching this video I found it really funny how you can recap the Story in like a couple of minutes, and how basically one minute montage in it is 99.99% of the entire game, lmao

Zeltik’s 1 hour recap is far better, go check that out

The digital presale for TOTK downloaded to my Switch this afternoon and the next week is just gonna be torture, looking at the icon but not being able to play…

Commenting so I can find this later.

6 minutes to watch this, or an hour to watch the recap Zeltik posted today? Guess I’m carving out an hour for a video.

I played BoTW as a story game first and that’s what made me fall in love with it and the world. It added so much context. Made scaling Hyrule and travelling to the four regions that much more impactful. Chasing down the memories was my first focus after getting all the towers. After doing all that and getting the Master Sword back I really started on my journey and it felt grand and epic.

Thanks!
I am looking for stuff like this before starting Tears of the Kingdom. Anyone know a good, concise video that maybe talks more about the world building / lore of BotW that we know of so far, without spoilers for TotK (so nothing based on TotK leaks, trailers, etc. just strictly information gathered from BotW)? Thinking of videos that talk about the item’s description that references the great flood, summary of the races and their cultures, the Zonai, etc.?
