Breath of the wild had VASTLY more interesting shrines. They're not even comparable.

@beardalaxy
These shrines usually require you to build 1 vehicle out of the exact pieces, that are already provided and selected. And in such an obvious way too.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Dunno how far you are into the game, but I found that a lot of the later Shrines have way more interesting puzzles than the early-game ones.

On one hand, I have been playing it for days, on the other, I have unlocked copy-paste today.

This game has a funny way of non-linear progression.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy I mean, that's one of its big things, being non-linear. I overall prefer linear Zelda design, because it allows for such well-thought out progression in terms of more and more complex puzzles, more challenging combat etc, but after how well BotW sold there was no way they were going back to the old style.

@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy
This combat is challenging in a "how long it takes for you to figgure out the combo system" way :D

@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy
To be fair, that might be the part that I love the most about these games.

You seriously have so many things you can do as soon as you feel like it :D

@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior you can't use autobuild in shrines.

I've done about 90 shrines in tears, all of them in botw, and they feel about on the same level. The ones in tears are technically harder but you can come up with clever ideas to make them easier. The really hard ones though are the combat challenges where you start with nothing.

Ok, you were correct 

@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior
Ok, I got to the lava palace now...

And I cheated the hell out of it.

Ok, you were correct 

@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior that one and the water one are pretty easy to cheese. At least water had more of a buildup but fire seemed a little lackluster to me. My favorite was probably lightning. The fire boss was pretty good too though.

Ok, you were correct 

@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior
Yeah, the boss was great, but the switches.... they are so BORING!!!

And also easy to lose cart... And once you have to backtrack something like this is an easy "fuck it" moment.

Ok, you were correct 

@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior if you know the solution it might sometimes be easier just to do it the right way, but I love when I can do things the wrong way in a game even if it takes longer, because it makes me feel more accomplished. That's why I like this game so much.

Ok, you were correct 

@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior
Same... When I used 2 platforms (made by fruit) on lava under the temple to then jump up into the final room with gong.... I was quite proud :D
