@Xeraser I've seen a lot of uncensored JAV lately, what's the deal with that?
@KiKi88 the gay shit continues
@Kerosene @rasterman they fucking love genghis khan too lol
@MiaElk @LittleTom there are some that are 100% definitely direct sequels. ocarina of time > wind waker > phantom hourglass > spirit tracks. all of them mention the previous games directly or have the same exact link. then you have ocarina of time > majora's mask > twilight princess which all either have the same link or directly reference each other too. those ones i know for certain, but i'm pretty sure zelda 2 takes place directly after zelda 1, and link to the past is directly followed up by link's awakening (which may also be the same link in the oracle games, can't remember).
breath of the wild was awesome imo, there is so much there to explore and the lore/theory crafting there was so immense. it felt a lot more open and less focused on the main story than totk was so there weren't really any weird or annoying plot issues. there's a certain beauty to the isolation sort of thing going on there. totk just doesn't really have that much of an identity beyond fusing shit together for the lulz. the best part about the game for me was going back through hyrule again and looking at all the new stuff they added, tbh. the depths were engrossing at first but then just slogged on and became way too lazy, the sky islands aren't unique enough for the most part to be particularly engaging, but hyrule itself got a good facelift that made me want to search through it again. especially with all the caves.
my only main criticism with botw is that there are no true dungeons and no dungeon items. most people have that criticism. with totk, it seems like they tried to incorporate dungeons but didn't really understand the task, so it is really only skin deep. the dungeons look cool and all have distinct themes, but that's about it. a lot of totk just seems like they wanted to address criticisms, but they really just didn't get why people were critical in the first place.
