It’s no wonder this game took so long to develop. Like, 3 years ago Aonuma entered the room and said, “hey guys, we’re going to add in this new monster that drops 3 unique monster parts,” and that decision added 9 months to development to work out how those 3 parts interact with everything else.

BotW is probably the most thoroughly constructed game I've ever played. There are tons of interactions just like that with little impact on completing the game but just letting you try something and have it work. You never really have to and certainly there are better dishes to make... but it shows the depths the devs reached in making the game play intuitively. Which in turn lets you play the game however you feel.
Hell I feel a lot of the gripes about the game come from folks that never think beyond "kill everything in sight" because that's still what most games are limited to.

I think the dungeons were my least favourite part of BOTW. When the game lets you approach them in any order then there’s not really the same sense of reward or progression for gaining a new ‘power’ - the game has to give you everything you need up front. Getting a sword that is just going to break anyway, or a cold resistant armour, isn’t really the same.
I can’t imagine TOTK having linear dungeon progression, as much as I’d love it to.

tbh I don't feel like anything in BotW really was a true dungeon. The Divine Beasts were closest but not quite there. I loved the game but the lack of dungeons was my biggest complaint, it's really important to the essence of Zelda. The shrines were really fun but I hope this game funds a way to bring back dungeons. I don't think it's actually likely, but I hope.

Yeah I never really loved BotW because of the lack of dungeons. Great game, sure, but there's nothing like that feeling of entering a new dungeon for the first time.
I mean from 1987 and on, the dungeon has been the most exciting part of all to me. While I appreciate deviation from the formula, it's time to see a big creative dungeon to explore. Screwing around with random stuff never appealed to me very much, or at least it holds my interest for a limited amount of time.

It's great, because the previous game was all about that experimentation, the game physics, etc. This takes it to a next level with item combos and what looks like it could be bizarre levels of discovering new combos of things. As well as a new depth to resource management.
Have spent so much time with BOTW though, I do hope there are significant changes to the ground map. Immediately identifying the location and seeing the dragon in the background was a bit too much familiarity. I'm confident it'll be full of surprises though.

I’m hoping that not only are the sky islands exciting to explore, but there will be significant underground structures and caves to discover. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t mind too much if the standard hyrule map is largely similar.
But at this point I’m way more interested in finding out what the big gameplay story beats will be. What will replace the divine beasts? What about shrines? How will the gameplay loop change? SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS STILL.

I really enjoy the Horizon games but Forbidden West suffers from excessive menu time, at least for me.
New status effects and weapon types means having to carry more weapons, a lot of which all do the same thing, so your inventory is cluttered. And then unless you find the perfect setup of weapons that cover the full spectrum of elemental effects, you're having to pause mid fight to find your one weapon that has the targets elemental weakness.
The increased combat depth of FW is great, but ZD seemed to have a sweet spot of depth and simplicity that allowed me to have everything I needed to win equipped and didn't have to go through multiple menus in the middle of a fight to find a bow that was essential for the current enemy.

Would definitely make for a very interesting dodge mechanic if that is possible. I could definitely see a shrine built around it!

With a system like this, I can understand why this game took much longer to develop than BotW* despite using the same assets. I am mega hyped of the potential this game has for creativity.

I can Imagine the developers getting immediately overwhelmed when they decided this would be one of the new abilities.
Three days later someone says, 'okay well what happens we we attach a bat wing to a leaf? '

I’d imagine there will be some duplicate effects. Giving every single item combination a unique ability would be insane.

Yeah I think he implied that in the video. He talked about using an “ice element” item (white chu jelly) to create ice arrows, so I think it’s likely that an ice lizalfos tail would give the same effect.

Maybe just more powerful versions. Lizalfos are more difficult to kill than chuchus.

Yeah I could see it being an ice arrow that does some extra damage or maybe freezes longer. Would be cool to see that.

Yea I’m sure there’s like a set of attributes they can “check” for any item. Like that big wooden thing the robot had, they probably just select it to have a “wind” effect when swung. Then you choose how flammable/explosive, how buoyant, conducive to electricity etc

This reminds me of when they added adjectives to Scribblenauts, a game famous for already including “every single object in the world”.

We have one spear, yes, but what about double spear?
