   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6qna-ZCbxA On one hand, the new abilities look insane and open up all kinds of gameplay possibilities, on the other hand, the game looks like they doubled down on the open-ended sandbox aspect while not emphasizing traditional Zelda elements like story, lore dungeons, etc. I'm sure I'll enjoy it just fine but it doesn't feel like a Zelda game, it feels like a BOTW game.

     @ArdainianRight The most disappointing aspect is BotW's TERRIBLE approach to music continuing. I guess it was to be expected tho, given how the BotW influence ruined Pokemon Legend Arceus's overworld soundtrack, and how it also hurt soundtracks in the likes of Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 3 to lesser extents.

     @ChristiJunior Xenoblade 3's areas aren't as memorable as 2's and the weaker area tracks didn't help with that. 2 is still peak OST in all facets.

     @ChristiJunior I'm sure the game will be good, but BOTW wasn't all that memorable in spite of being amazing on the first playthrough.

     @ArdainianRight That said, my currently rather low level of excitement does mean this is the first 3D Zelda since Ocarina of Time that might actually surpass my expectations, and I'll probably go into it pretty blind, which is usually an advantage.

     @ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight It's not a bad track, but a little too in your face. Reminded me of the Hyrule castle theme. Not that there's any resemblance, just that I can already picture it getting old from repetition.
     
     >a couple of piano keys occasionally being hesitantly pressed
     The texture and detail of the amazing BotW soundtrack reduced to that description. Zero appreciation for classical music. Literally less White than the Japs that put together that OST. Thanks for confirming sub-Saharan heritage. :theniggest :

     @Rasterman @ChristiJunior Gormott theme never gets old. I prefer the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Ih-D49QJE

     @ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight Nigga, yes. By pure coincidence, I spent this morning listening to the BotW OST. I was gonna make a list of awesome themes, but it's pointless when pretty much everything is excellent.
     
     If your complaint is that you don't have in-your-face music looping constantly while picking up mushrooms, I don't know what to say. :whitecat_wtf:

     @Rasterman @ArdainianRight I dunno man, guess I just prefer to have stuff like this playing when exploring a massive, epic world, rather than a couple of piano keys occasionally being hesitantly pressed :smug13:

     @ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight Why do you hate good soundtracks, sir? :pepedisappoint.png: Pretty much every BotW track is amazing.

     @Rasterman @ArdainianRight I mean, the main BotW theme, which you NEVER hear throughout the entire game until the final boss battle, is indeed amazing:

     @ArdainianRight @Rasterman @ChristiJunior Arguably Pokemon Legends did better with the musical track than BOTW

     @Rasterman @ArdainianRight Overworld songs don't have to be super Epic, but they should at least be beautiful and memorable:

     Little Susie being asked to play a piano song by mom, only to slowly and nervously fiddle with a few keys doesn't count.

     @Rasterman @ArdainianRight Nigger, I know full well that BotW in isolation has plenty of great songs:

     However, how much time in the game do you *actually* spend listening to songs like that, VS listening to babby trying out her mom's piano for the first time?
     
     You're acting like Modern Pokemon Fans, defending something Inadequate, when there's no reason we couldn't enjoy True Greatness.

     The time when it's relevant to the context, as it should, lest they lose what makes them great by repetition.
     
     *epic music*
     *Link is picking spicy peppers for cooking*

     Objectively there must be not a single track like that.
     
     I didn't realise I would have to defend Zelda today, when I can barely stand him as it is.
