What is this auto-save shit doing in my Zelda game? Makes death completely irrelevant. That and the ability to warp away anytime trivialize going deep into the unknown without knowing if you can make it back out alive.
When will videogames return to being videogames?

when they crash and burn so hard that making them is no longer about making money, since big publishers wont bother

its an evolution of levels or chapters, there doesnt need to be some start up screen anymore since the enemies and challenges you encounter like side quests, korok challenges, mini bosses or dungeons are all pretty similar to something like star levels like in the 3D mario line... There is no concrete objective or end goal though

It's because the game crashes every 15 minutes or so, helps you retain progress
It's a feature
>>379113717
Because /r/eddit liberal nu-males will complain and call it "backtracking" and thus a ''con''.
we can't have real video games anymore.

>auto-save is what trivializes the difficulty
>not the fact that you can carry enough items to heal yourself to full like 100 times, and can pause the game to heal your health or stamina whenever you want
>also defense is very poorly balanced to the point that almost any enemy will do 1/4th damage to you eventually
Your heart is in the right place, but set your fucking priorities straight. It's not like it auto-saves mid-battle.

Saving has literally never had bearing on punishing you for dying in Zelda. You always respawn at either the predetermined start point or dungeon entrance that you were in.

They should have made it so that you can only warp to a tower.

Once they get that emulator going it wont crash as much
>>379116887
160 hours on my playthrough, literally 0 crashes. Unless the Switch version is that much worse, but anyone early adopting has only themselves to blame.

You're right it's worse because it saves before tough battles unlike Hyrule Warriors where you can get yourself into game-ending situations easily if you're not careful.
Stop trying to muddy the waters. OP' s heart is in the right place and he's right. You're less so bc those things you said are avoidable.

dying in zelda post-majora's mask is not possible outside of unplugging your controller in combat for 5 minutes or going into that 100 floor battle dungeon. auto-saving is like having prince of persia's time rewind with no depletion gauge.

every game is now Animal Crossing. makes sense since Nintendo let the AC music composer do BOTW's music.
