Dark link and that whole setting is absolutely stunning. That was the only highlight for me in the water temple. But the n64 version… Equip iron boots. Unequip iron boots. Equip iron boots. Unequip iron boots. Equip iron boots. Unequip iron boots. Hit save button and scream into your pillow.
It was so barren. Felt lonely and so…uninviting.
I played red dead 2 and wow.
That game is a masterpiece. Same as ocarina of time in my opinion
Yes it was quite empty in that sense, but I thought that made the populated areas feel all the more welcoming. I feel like in a way, the barrenness was what they were going for; a desolate Hyrule close to destruction where a few survivors were clinging on. Personally I didn’t see how it’s all that different from OOT or TP which had big open sections mostly filled with enemies. I suppose the scale is different in the case of BOTW? TP felt a lot more bleak imo.
