Sleeper Hit on Switch: ‘Yonder’ is a Must Play

"I found a new addiction and it’s Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles for Nintendo Switch. It’s absolutely stunning and I the game invokes the same sense of discovery that Breath of the Wild does. Let me explain to you and my co-host Andrew why I love it." -- Nintendo Enthusiast

Interview: Patricia Summersett on voicing Princess Zelda for nearly a decade

Believe it not, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is almost ten years old. It was a massive game for many reasons – it launched alongside Nintendo Switch, was a new take for the series by going fully open-world, and introduced various aspects like voice acting in a mainline game for the characters.

Why I prefer Breath of the Wild over Tears of the Kingdom

ScribbleCat said: As a big fan of Breath of the Wild, my anticipation for Tears of the Kingdom was off the charts. I don’t think I ever was that hyped about a game since Cyberpunk 2077, which should have taught me a thing or two. Nevertheless, I bought the game digitally on release and played a fair bit. And while the beginning was good, I soon felt overwhelmed and bored at the same time. I was actively yearning for the calmness of Breath of the Wild. But why?

I initially thought TotK was an objective improvement but in hindsight they're both good for different reasons, both with relative pros and cons. Overall I'd probaly agree BotW is the better more focused experience, though i've clocked more hours in TotK

Sad to say, I have not played Tears of the Kingdom as yet, but I did love Breath of the Wild. Before Breath of the Wild, I was getting tired of Zelda games following the same formula from start to finish. They even had you unlocking the same weapons every game.

Breath of the Wild was like a breath of fresh air, no pun intended, and changed up the formula drastically, much like what Ocarina of Time did for the series back in the day.

I did not read the entire article out of fear of spoilers, but I do not expect Tears of the Kingdom to be much different from Breath of the Wild. I intentionally left a huge gap between playing the two games so Tears of the Kingdom will feel more fresh when I eventually get around to it.

TotK felt more of an expansion. (Same open world, new content and story) BoTW had a sense of exploration. TotK didn’t have that same level of exploration simply because you were exploring the same open world you already did in BotW. The puzzle shrines were also inferior due to too much focus on the new “glue objects together” mechanics.

I’m finding the which is better discussion for Zelda games has grown to be really subjective. The Zelda games across the board are so dramatically different. My favorite are link to the past and ocarina of time. But, I haven’t enjoyed a Zelda games since.

It’s not because one is better than the other, it’s just the core mechanics of each game to follow weren’t that engaging to me. I didn’t like the time loop of MM, the motion controls of TP(I got the GameCube version much later down the line but never got to settle into it). Wind waker was the my next most liked but because I lost the save data anytime I try to play it again I lost interest.

I didn’t care for the motion controls of skyward sword either. And botw for me felt to unfocused and repetitive after 30 hours I lost my interest. Because of my experiences with Zelda games I learned exactly how I felt about the franchise as a whole.

I admire that they try many different things, but that doesn’t mean that the games are meant for me. Others who enjoy it is great, but I won’t by any measure act like every entry is perfect.
