fuck no, next one should aim to be smaller with an actual dungeon system and caves to discover

actually just get FromSoft to make the next Zelda
>>
No, it was a great size. Just needs some tweaks.

People complain about "all you find is shrines", but if they baked those challenges and rewards INTO the overworld, no-one would have a problem.

My dream is that they make 8 fucking huge dungeons that you can do in any order, but some parts may require you to come back later with new/better equipment.

BOTW was a good template but the next one should focus on having an actual story and actual level and dungeon design

They should make it a linear single player experience with tight level design and new, interactive and fun ways to play around the dungeons
>>
>>385836823
It's not. Stop embarrasing yourself.
You could "backtrack" to old temples in OoT and find new areas with skulltulas and treasure in it. You had to "backtrack" in old Resident Evil games in order to solve puzzles and thus get access to new areas, all while being exposed to new dangers.

Hell, you technically "backtrack" back to towns and shit in BotW all the time just to level up your HP and Stamina.

All you want is to constantly get "pushed forward" to brand new areas, totally ignoring the joys and opportunities of exploration in adventures.

The problem with BotW is that basically EVERYTHING opens up after you get off the plateau.

A good adventure game lets you gradually expand your horizons, then find new things that make you think in new ways about older areas that you can return to.

Aside from the Zora shirt, this doesn't happen often in BotW, mostly because you get ALL of the slate abilities right away.

It's still the best Zelda game. "Do all these things in this specific order" isn't any better.

you're a fucking idiot.

i hate backtracking becuase i resent being forced to go back over areas ive already been to just to 100% a game, because i didnt have the magical macguffin to let me get whatever is there the first time i went around.

that is TOTALLY different from exploration.

Nope, smaller more varied world plz.

By that logic, every single game EVER is linear piece of shit.

>>385838165
Nah mate, you are just exploration hating ADHD fag.
>>
>>385838265
wrong, nigger.

you often have to explore to 100% an area, and by extension, a game. probably even the MAJORITY of games require you to do at least some exploration to find all the collectibles and hidden areas.

what i dont like is finding the collectible, then not being able to pick it up because i dont have the macguffin. fuck that.

you want to put a shitload of hidden stuff in an area so i have to explore every inch of it to 100%? fine. if its a good level, ill enjoy it.

but dont dangle the fucking banana/jiggie/banana/book page/gold bar/whatever the fuck in front of me and make me come back later. i want to 100% every area WHILE I GO THROUGH IT, NOT come back later.

Stop acting like a faggot. I don't have anything against backtracking and love plenty of the games that use it like Metroid and SotN. But if you equate a lack of backtracking with linearity then you are simply wrong and probably have the same mental capacity as a brick.

If you have no reasons to return to past area, they might just as well not exist. Thus, you might just as well have a "level 1", "level 2", ...etc.

Seeing hints and signs of some minor or major secret early on, not knowing what it means before much later, is a damn fine way of motivating players to explore and experiment with things.
>>
Next logical step would probably be to add diving and underwater combat and exploration.

Also tons of more visually diverse temples, caves and the like that are just not shrines that are all made with the same tileset.

Items would be great to have back in and have the sheikahpad pro -skills botw had just be different items.
>>
>>385835615
No, I think they should go the Majora's Mask way of taking the same assets and overall gameplay, but make the game world tighter with a focus on better sidequest and one new, well-defined gameplay gimmick.

No, they need to fill it more. More then just shrines. I've had this problem since playing the witcher 3. The witcher 3 felt so organic, even just exploring. Botw, and ff15 have lost my attention because they just feel so barren. Botw is great but it doesn't feel as good as oot or mm. Which albeit smaller still felt like a complete package to me.
>>
I just want a big empty open world to explore, with a bunch of different enemies to beat up in different ways.
>>
>>385840271
What a shitshow. Why couldn't they they just make a taller ledge so it is out reach?
>>
>>385835615
I think the next Zelda game should run in that engine, but be a bit smaller world wise and focus on large-scale dungeons.

Think an entire dungeon going in and out of a mountain cliff to really capitalize on heat and climbing management, with a really great snowboarding sequence payoff after the dungeon's beaten.
>>
>>385840502
The entire series is full of janky gameplay mechanics like that you faggot. Zelda games at least feel way more polished in that regard
>>
>>385840548
That would be botw.
>>
>>385840564
even Demon's souls let you climb small ledges
>>
>>385840271
I mean if that was a Zelda game Link would just climb the ledge
>>
>>385840528
I feel both witcher 3 and botw should learn from each other. Botw did visual design that leads you without telling you where to go way better and W3 had wayyyy more variety in it's content. If you combine the things the games did well, you would get my favorite game ever made.
>>
>>385840564
Because your suppose to go from the tower to that ledge and kick down a ladder. To get it early, you have to take the armor off and jump off the tree. I don't think they patched it. But if you do the skip you get a ring and estus shard early. So it doesn't really make a difference.
>>
>>385840502
I know those were the examples you gave, however I wasn't referring specifically to them, but to similar things From does that I don't want in Zelda.

But to your actual point, BotW handled secrets just fine. The problem was that there weren't enough of them, and they weren't developed enough. 95% of the time I saw a pile of rocks, I kept hoping I'd bomb them and find something awesome. But it was always just ore or a chest, a tiny cave with ore or a chest, or a thermal pocket.

Finding little bombable piles in obscure cliff faces that actually let to shit like small tunnel systems or mini temples or dungeons would have made exploration so much more enticing. It was just so rarely a thing, especially outside of side quests (if ever) that it was always a let down.

But finally, speaking strictly of illusory walls... they are, from both a player and developer standpoint, one of the laziest, shittiest elements you can use in design. They should be used purely for obscure easter eggs and shit. Not for legitimate secrets.

>>385840949
Yeah, very minor complaint witcher wise. The witcher literally, to me of course did everything right in terms of exploration etc. The flow can be iffy sometimes if your a newer player but all in all Botw failed hard. For me it's like I knew when it was going to end, Botw gives you a good gauge of your progress ie, the more you have the more likely you are to the ending. So while it's open world, I felt like i was still on a linear path.

I really never felt that way with the witcher.
>>
It should have a open world
but it should be like this

5 links or 5 different zelda characters vs 5 different zelda characters villians i guess that interact with the world and make challenges for the other team.
On top of that when someone discovers a dungeon it is 5 people puzzles on top of it being 2x the size for a dungeon and it is mirrored.
While the people are working on a dungeon the other team could go and fight and stop the progress of their work in a dungeon.
>>
>>385841632
>and yes I know every Zelda, your inventory is a good indication of your progress.
>>
>>385840374
Less time than BotW took, considering most of this game's dev time was lost to the team learning the new physics and design philosophies. Now that they know what they're doing the process would be streamlined. They could make a world that is larger than BotW (not by too much) and filled with all the same content, then throw in full sized dungeons and additional overworld interactions (so that koroks aren't the only reason to explore half the map) and it would take the same amount of time or less overall.

Cost would be down too since the engine is already made, and they can easily recycle assets like they did with MM.
>>
>>385841439
I don't think the way DS3 handled the illusionary wall for Untended Graves was that bad, since it was technically a repeat area, whereas Consumed King's Garden and arguably Archdragon Peak can be accessed fairly easily. I don't mind illusionary walls in general either, since from a Zelda perspective the equivalent would just be a bombable wall
>>
>>385840949
Just out of curiosity since I've never played Witcher games, but what exactly does it offer in terms of content that BotW doesn't have? What are it's story and sidequests like?
>>
>>385837642
I agree with this sentiment, but given how they wanted players to choose how much of the content they actually experienced, it would be hard to make necessary items out of the plateau. Don't think there's really much of a solution aside from optional abilities that manipulate physics like the plateau items, but aren't required to beat any of the dungeons in the game.

I honestly think the next game should have the open world shrunk by quite a large amount but be densely packed with dungeons, ruins, nods to previous titles like ancient Twili settlements, and large scale settlements that feel lived in like Castle Town. BoTW is actually really weak because it's just a large empty map filled with extremely tedious "trials" and despite having it since launch on Switch I've yet to complete it because it's just so boring after a certain point.
>>
>>385842219
Again, I'm not speaking specifically to those areas. Honestly I haven't played any of the Souls games in a few months (finished 2 and 3, for reference), and I also drink a lot, so my memory of what each specific area is and how to access it and all that is gone. But either way, the difference between an illusory wall and a bombable wall is that the latter has a visual indication. Some illusory walls do too, but not most. And of course I'm talking without the social comment system, because as a designer you can't be sure the player is going to have access to it.
>>
>>385841632
It comes down to if you prefer the kind of adventure where writing leads you to places or if you prefer the kind where you make your own adventure and the game tries it's hardest make whatever you do work while leading you to points of interests silently.

Where Witcher 3 fails for me is the Witcher sense. It feels like a cheap solution to a problem they could have solved with better visual design/quest design.

>>385842245
More and better writing basically but the world is much more static and there's not many different solutions to problems outside what the writers made for the player.
>>
>>385835615
I would prefer a world one fourth or even one ninth the size, but with more and larger dungeons. ALBW showed how you can have a non linear game with dungeons (mobility and navigational items come from out of dungeon progress; dungeon rewards are things for the power of your player) and I feel a game like that with the freedom of BotW could actually be really fun. Knowing Nintendo though, they'll pull a SS to BotW transition and change everything.
>we like the motion controls of SS, the next game will have motion controls
>next game doesn't have motion controls
>we like the open world of BotW, the next game will have an open world

Breath of the Wild's size is fine. Start from there and just work on putting more Hyrule Castle like places or some good old fashioned dungeons. Maybe make the environments a little more varied. Get some underground caves or underwater stuff. Maybe a place in the clouds or whatever. Maybe do a Wind Waker sequel.
>>
>>385842643
It wouldn't benefit from being smaller, just denser. More dungeons, more content besides koroks. A big problem comes in the fact that heart pieces are all in the shrines and weapons and tools are all just breakable shit that can be looted from enemies. Nothing to populate the cool secret nooks with anymore. They need to reevaluate the loot system and find ways to make exploring the world more rewarding tan just raiding a few camps every blood moon. Then add more dungeons with more variation in their design, and you'd have the perfect game.

>game takes place 100+ years after BOTW, Link is confirmed to be Link and Zelda's kid, named after his grandpa that passed away
>no love interest in Zelda this game, Zelda never shows up
>game is about Link traversing Hyrule fixing the problems of major towns
>game is centered around the towns of Hyrule, each facing their own problems (Goron City has Death Mountain stopped erupting, Zora City has their lake drain out, Gerudo City begins to freeze over, Hateno Village is thunderstorming nonstop), each dungeon has an adverse affect on the land around it, like a water temple near the coast polluting the coastline
>game focuses on giving Link new runes to use in dungeons, like Bomb Ultra that allows him to make retardedly huge bombs, or Cryonis Ultra that allows him to freeze entire bodies of water solid, Stasis Ultra allows him to slow down time, etc.
>dungeons are designed to be accomplished in a non-linear order, with rewards being unlocked for completing dungeons (for example, Goron City dungeon inside death mountain is bomb based and gives you Bomb Ultra, unlocks a personal smithy to upgrade your armor using less materials, and Heat-Resistant Armor, Gerudo City gives you Stasis Ultra, unlocks an arrow crafting station that lets you make your own arrows and gives you the Gerudo Sandstorm Set that resists both heat and reduces damage done from lightning attacks) in addition they have extensive indoor and outdoor areas that can be accessed without going through doors ala BOTW Hyrule Castle
>dungeons appear in order, three at a time. completing one unlocks the next
>final temple appears in the sky as the Temple of Darkness, a massive and difficult non-linear area that requires you to beat three minibosses to get keys to fight the final boss
>>
>>385835615
I think I'd prefer a smaller more concise world like older Zelda games because I'm just tired of huge sprawling worlds. Like, not small enough where it's noticeable but also not big enough to where there's no intimacy with the world. But I'm probably one of the few people who feel that way. Everyone wants every game to be bigger than the last one these days.
Hell, I'd take Ocarina of Time's or Link to the Past's smaller but well structured overworld over BotW's massive but meandering overworld anyday.
>>
>>385842998
>A big problem comes in the fact that heart pieces are all in the shrines and weapons and tools are all just breakable shit that can be looted from enemies

Scatter heart pieces throughout the world like previous titles and drop the shrines all together because they suck so much shit and make a series of unbreakable weapons or items that can be used for smithing to fill the secret places with. Problem solved.
>>
>>385843516
I'll agree on the heart pieces, but throwing out shrines entirely seems rash. Lower the count and fill them with other loot, like armor sets. Also they don't need to be shrines per se, but just mini puzzle dungeons scattered throughout the land. Some can be sheikah in theme, others can be ancient ruins or cave systems. Adds variety, makes it feel like the count has gone down more than it actually has (so they feel less repetitive) and works well with the new system for heart pieces (actually old system).

Also make some of these rewards for quests, because that was another major issue with BotW, quests were all mostly pointless. As for unbreakable weapons, that breaks the loot system entirely. The master sword is only a single weapon and even that needed a timer added to it to keep the loot system from breaking down entirely. If you're going to have infinite durability weapons, you have to throw the breakable weapon system out entirely.

As much as I hate to sound like the Fromsoft fag, I think a Souls like loot system, with dozens of unique weapons that can be found once and upgraded, would be beneficial here.
>>
>>385843301
I'd really rather them do what they did with Majora's Mask where it's a direct sequel to BotW but with a completely different setting and story.
>>
>>385840003
is this a joke?
>>
>>385835615
No. It should have good level design and a reason to explore the world other than korok seeds and shrines

Sseriously, there's not even a SINGLE cave in the game long enough to be called a mini dungeon.
>>
maybe slightly bigger, I think Mira in XCX really hit the sweep spot in terms of world size/content

when exploration is a factor and content is increased to accommodate, sure

Bigger? No. I think it's a fine size as it is. Now, more content in it and slightly more involved dungeons? THAT is something I'd like.
>>
>>385845584
>content is increased to accommodate, sure
But thats the problem with making a bigger mass, is that either you spread content thin to cover the entire area, or make a lot of meaningless content to pad out the areas. There's nothing wrong with making a smaller area more dense with content.

>>385845857

I'm talking about quality not the size of what they did moron. I don't care whether the map is big or large as long as the content is good, which is why I was arguing that there was nothing wrong with making the world smaller or more dungeon based.

If it's open world at all, I won't buy it. I didn't spend hours in Hyrule Field is Ocarina. I spent hours in villages and dungeons.

NotE is the last open world game I buy. I've learned my lesson, no game can pull it off. The only open world games I'll go back and play are GTA 3 and VC.
>>
>>385847257
As I just said, for some reason Zelda fans love boring and slow.

And no, even the easiest Divine Beasts (bir dand lizard) have higher difficulty than the castle which has no puzzles at all. There is no reason to run around outside where the Guardians are and you can literally just go to Ganon anyway.

The reason why the beasts are so short and fast to beat is because they are so good, because Nintendo finally get dungeons right. There are alternative ways to solve puzzles, you can skip entire segments, you can scale and jump over everything, there are no loading times or doors serving as boundaries and no braindead enemies slowing you down all the time. And the bosses are actually hard when you haven't upgraded your armor already.

Nah, the current size is fine enough. Just make the world different enough (or a completely different area) and make sure every location is worth coming to and exploring.
>>
Not bigger, just more populated and with more stuff to find. Make it set before Ganon destroys most stuff when Hyrule is at a high point.

I always thought open world games could be pulled off by adding special attractions to each area, like random events and encounters.

Like BotW and the dragons that appear, you know?

This. There could have easily have been more towns, or maybe have Hudson go around and building more. Terry Town was pretty fun for a quest, and it's a bummer you couldn't get more places built.

I had expected an ability allowing you to manipulate the weight/mass of things. Could have been used for some neat puzzles.

I wouldn't mind a game with the idea of freedom that Breath of the Wild offers, but I would really love traditional Zelda dungeons to populate the area. The Divine Beasts were a fine idea, and a dungeon following shifting the layout to navigate is a cool idea (Skyward Sword has one as its final dungeon, too). But every dungeon following that same philosophy is dull. More dungeons built into the overworld, like Hyrule Castle, but with actual puzzles, would be great. You'd have to limit how the player approaches the dungeons, true, but I'd be fine with that as long as the experience made up for it.

I've also been thinking that it would be cool to add Stamina Vessels as a reward in the place of Heart Containers in some dungeons, and placing Stamina Shards throughout the map as a new collectible to encourage exploration. Like you explore, you get four, then you can climb even more shit without having to visit a Goddess Statue to choose what you want. Same thing for Heart Pieces.

I'd also appreciate it if items like the Hookshot or the Beetle show up. Items that really open up how you can approach exploration, item collection, and combat. Maybe even some totally new items for the open world format.

I think that BotW is a fucking great game, and it's a milestone in how developers can approach an open world. It just needs some tweaking and some extra Zelda-style flair to make a new game something extra special.

Only thing I ask for a new Zelda is to be topdown 2d and not just a random shitty 3d spinoff.

kindly fuck off, only good game they made was Dark Souls, II and III was riding on the "hard game for hardcores" bandwagon and III abandoned what was the best in I for "cinematic experience".

I have a feeling that since so many people, even big reviewers, have mentioned the beasts not being that great as dungeons, the next game will likely bring back more traditional dungeons.

Way I see it, they could make there be at least 10 main dungeons, each one with tons of secrets and treasures to find, along with areas that can only be accessed with the specific gear. Meanwhile, smaller dungeons could be used in place of the shrines, and offer things like upgrade materials and other worthwhile finds. On the topic of gear, I think it'd be pretty rad to bring back things like the claw shot and other tools. They could even be upgraded or combined (double claw shots + dig gloves to make clawed gloves you can shoot out to nab enemies), and if they keep the degradation system, just have it that the tools don't work quite as well if they're busted up and make you repair them at a shop.

This is like entirety of Dark Souls. Only combat is kinda fun but whole movement controls are absolute dogshit tier. And they also throw those fucking awful platforming sequences just to piss off players but your stupid soulsfags will tell you that the game is "HARD NOT FOR CASULS".

I would say what they need to do is make there be big dungeons you come back to (like in Skyward Sword, but not just two new rooms), but have it that the additional areas just improve things like what ending you get and adding more to the completion. This way, a person could speed through the game if they're a speedrunner, while others can take their time and unlock every inch of the dungeons for their goodies.
>>
It just needs more tools ( hook shot/grapple, some sort of wind creating tool for gliding, maybe oil flasks for playing with Fire), more enemy types, and bigger dungeons.
, even if it's only a few.

Also an underworld please, like zertinian caverns in ff12 or the ruins in Megaman Legends. Tons of entry points and runs parallel to the overworld.

This. There's even ways to make the shit get upgraded and more useful for you.
>Hook shot - Lets you scale up cliffs faster, upgrades mean faster usage and even the ability to grapple enemies over to you or bring you closer to them (if they're too big)
>Glider can be upgraded to have more maneuverability as you fly around, maybe even a dive move to drop in directly onto an enemy for a bonus surprise attack

Speaking of oil, wouldn't mind having something like the lantern again, which could even be improved to be used like a flamethrower at the expense at burning through its oil reserves faster.
