   TotK is in a weird position where it is hard to recommend that someone start with BotW if they have not played it already because there's so much redundancy, it's hard to imagine playing them without a huge break inbetween and I think many would simply rather pick one and be done with it.
   
   But so much is developed for returning players - towns and NPCs in particular are simply not written for first impressions, even though they tried a little bit by having many of the NPCs somehow not recognize Link. Tarrey Town seems like nothing but a half baked oddity viewed without context from the first game. Kakariko is no longer the hidden ninja village awaiting the hero to support him in his quest, its' current residents almost entirely preoccupied with a bunch of rocks that fell out of the sky and accommodating the tourists and researchers they have attracted.
   
   Many overworld gimmicks or attractions are also removed because, well, most of us already did them, generally replaced by several more scattered elsewhere, which is good but also leads to many parts of the world losing the purpose they were originally designed for, making those areas feel a bit hollow.
   
   It comes across like a sequel and an enhanced super turbo rerelease of BotW at the same. It's almost like the Ultimate/G/portable/ versions of older Monster Hunter games where it's like, yeah, certain things are missing or diminished but there's very little reason to play the original now - except, in TotK's case, many things about it hardly function if you have not.

     Ultimately I come to the conclusion that if someone is practically certain they will not want to play two versions of BotW, they should just start with TotK, because it's all around better. Otherwise, one should really play BotW and treat TotK as a second playthrough (or second quest, master quest) that they may have to put off for 2, 3 years.
     
     Yeah I'm gonna eat it as someone who was hyped for this game - it's just a fucking remixed version of BotW. It barely qualifies as a sequel. Majora's Mask - THAT was a sequel. Hell, LBW was a real ass sequel despite its roots as a remake of LttP showing through. In that regard, TotK is so much less than either of those. But you still have to play both "versions" of this game to experience it properly.

     @LittleTom The gameplay loop being more or less identical combined with the story not really mattering makes it feel like less than it actually is. They added a lot of stuff, but most of it feels like it doesn't matter because you're still using those new toys to do basically the same thing. The Depths is the only part where things actually feel meaningfully different enough for the game to not just be DLC. Mind you I really enjoy exploring the Depths, but the sky doesn't feel very consequential and the main overworld feels samey. It's a really good game, but I feel like it's going to wind up being less memorable than a major Zelda entry should be because of how much it blends together with BOTW.

     @LittleTom I couldn't stand botw, but really like totk
     
     The ability to make a car or plane out of garbage has a lot to do with it.

     @CenturianFrend The new abilities make a big difference
     Honestly, ascend, glue hand and recall are easily among the best abilities Link has ever gotten. I wish puzzles and navigation were more complex to better test your understanding of them, but they're very fun on a basic level.

     @ArdainianRight @LittleTom the few things rememberable is the drug lord arc in goron city and Fujoshi's huffing massive amounts of copium over your best friend getting married to a woman

     @zoomgoboom @ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @LittleTom @luithe It's your mind on faggotry. In Arab countries where homosexuals get thrown off buildings, men have zero issues displaying affection to each other publicly.
     And ironically they get called gay by westerners. In western countries men do not want to show affection openly because they don't want to be associated with poop dick.
     
     When that is tolerated and accepted, you get men being unable to be close to each other.

     @ChristiJunior this always confused me, men have this apparently strange ability to make friends very easily, and close male friends are seen as "gay" by morons. @luithe @ArdainianRight @LittleTom

     @ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @LittleTom the funniest ones I saw from a Fujo was complaining about him falling in love with his wife while growing up written on those tablets which specifically says it comes from his words
     Basically complaining it's an overused trope even though she's the reason why he's a Chad and not sulking around like post cell saga Vegeta

     @luithe @ChristiJunior @LittleTom It's disturbing how desperately some people want a fictional fishman to be gay, but it is typical of this type to live in a fictional world with little to no grounding in reality.

     @ArdainianRight @luithe @LittleTom The people screeching for gay representation in Nintendo games are genuinely terrible people. One great example was all the faggots crying about Male Byleth's S-Support with Alois being platonic - these fucking niggers deadass wanted Alois to kick his wife and daughter to the curb, just to buttfuck a guy who's half his age, and who he views as an adoptive baby brother.
     
     Garbage people.

     @ChristiJunior @LittleTom @luithe They also literally only care about validating their lifestyles and lusts and have no real interest in broader themes or morals, even those coming from less degenerate leftist viewpoints. Imagine if Nintendo actually got the balls to take down LGBTP posts on Splatoon.

     Even if you've got stories talking about how environmentalism is good and racism is bad, these weirdos are literally only in the fandom for the gay stuff and only care about homo pandering, and if it's not there, they'll force it in there. Cock carousel riders sperg out over threats to limitless degeneracy, regardless of whether they ride with their vaginas or buttholes.

     @ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @LittleTom @luithe I would literally have more respect for the feminists and faggots if they created their own shit instead of infiltrating, ruining IPs, and bullying studios to get their way. Almost no one wants their shit and they have to guilt normal people into tolerating them. This, besides all the child grooming shit, is one of the reasons why people hate fags and are coming to realize the whole tolerance thing was a sham. Even the fags wouldn't be uppity if it weren't for the kikes egging them on - fucking kikes just like weaponizing shit and people for their own evil ends.

     @ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @LittleTom @luithe Imagine using "fanservice" as a bludgeon to get your way and then claiming that "fanservice" as problematic and sexist. No, it's NOT the same. Fanservice is actually cute and aesthetic and brings people in. Homo shit is nasty and about genital mutilation, poop dicks, and the horrid things most fags find attractive. Them being the minority have no right to impose that shit on people, and the weaponization started with "muh hypocrisy" over the likings of "straight White men" - the majority consumers - and "fags being a minority and oppressed throughout history". No one tells you "why" fags were legitimately targeted throughout history as vile groomers; at least the kike talking points failed with that realization in the past few years.

     @chainsaw_appreciator @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @LittleTom @luithe luckily, fags and niggers are doing bullshit that is disrupting the whole sympathy narrative for them. jews too. women are to a small extent but it's going to be harder for the whole of society to reject the "pussy pass" unless something major happens. this is why I don't approve of White men or "incels" going on mass shootings - it makes our side look bad and a lot of them may be (((false flags))) and (((glownigger ops))) to make everyone else "look good" by comparison.
