hot take: the building and fusing in Tears of the Kingdom is what most sequels fail to pull off. it took an already timeless game and made it feel new instead of just bigger. ✨ if you're with me, 🔥 if BotW was better left untouched.
Getting to revisit the hyrool I remember from my breath of the wilds playthrough was great and to see how it changed as I was gone was bitter sweet
✨✨✨ i feel like fusing / auto-build plus zonaite/zonai charges made the breadth and depth (pun intended?!) of the world accessible, which is really what elevated it above BOTW. still love both games, but find myself playing TOTK more and more these days.
