No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I did play both games. I just really didn't like totk because after years of development there were zero changes to the parts of the game that bothered me in botw.
Rant incoming: Combat still sucks ass, 90% of the enemy types are still the same (underground just colors them red), There is no point fighting anyone since you don't get anything for them, even the chests are useless since all weapons are dogshit without the right fusionite. Dungeons felt less inspired than the divine beasts. World didn't feel as rewarding to explore since many of the locations are the same or just slightly altered or now just floating in the sky. Performance was even worse prior to overclocking.
In the end im happy I spend €20 on a picofly instead of buying the game.
Rant outgoing: Counterpoint, combat is amazing and you're just used to it because of breath of the wild. They absolutely did change the enemy types, and besides just being red the enemies in the depths permanently break your heart containers with gloom. Figuring out which enemies drop the best fusion materials is an essential part of the game, which I guess you just ignored. How did you not feel like jumping from floating ships in the sky up to a thunderstorm containing the entire wind temple was just not inspired enough? I'm seriously curious to know what temple designs would have satisfied you.
Counter counter rant: Idek what to say if you find the combat amazing, good for you I guess.
For me the main problem is that it's way too easy/simple once you learn the counter or jump timing (1st fight if you played botw) and except for the bosses there is just 0 reason to engage in it, since the only thing you'll gain from it is a replacement for the weapons you broke while doing it.
Don't get me wrong figuring out the best fusionite weapons is cool but I'd rather have it be an addition to a nice weapon instead of everything you find being dogshit and only worth using once it's upgraded. Btw It's still weird that only the melee weapons were affected by the degradation and not shields and bows.
Yes there are some different enemies than in botw, but many are reused and I still feel like there's not enough of them, and 9/10 times you engage them in the same way.
The dungeons don't feel inspired enough to me since they all have the same premise, walk around for a bit doing a puzzle and have a fight. The devine beasts were 4 unique experiences at least.
The whole sky island shit is boring as hell since except for the first one you get to they are all the same few parts copied around.
Don't get me wrong it's not a bad game, its just not different enough from botw after 5 years. It's just botw 1.5 maybe even 1.25, but definitely not a 2.0 If they had released it as a large dlc at a lower price I wouldn't feel as strongly about it.
Fair points, and for sure they did recycle a ton of the content. I think really they were just banking on the completely new ultra hand and crafting mechanic to carry the majority of the gameplay. Cheers.
Ultrahand is definitely insanely cool feature to play with, I just hoped they'd flesh out the basics a bit more. That's one thing I'd be sad to see go in the next zelda installment, although I'm not sure how they would keep it around. Hopefully the switch 2 allows for even more possibilities but I'm not that optimistic about Nintendo made hardware.
