Breath of the Wild is an amazing game... Why didn't anyone tell me?
I stream on both at the same time:

I avoided Breath of the Wild on release as I wasn't enjoying exploration games and also I didn't own a switch (oops).
This changed in 2021 where I got a switch but I still avoided the Zelda franchise cause I thought it wasn't for me and I was never really a fan as I didn't grow up on Nintendo games (except pokemon). I mean there were some rip of versions I played as a kid but they never grabbed me but I barely remember them.
Flash forward to 2024 where I decide to give it a try for this channel and my god is this a really fun game (why didn't anyone tell me?).
There's just a lot of things that has made this game really compelling and I'm looking forward to playing more of it which I'll do on stream. (if by magic this video gets popular, by my standards, then I'll probably do a follow up when I'm deeper in the game, or maybe the ending, we'll see).

Watching people play this game for the first time never gets old

10:10 "I can still hear the robot and its putting the fear of god in me", welcome to botw.

It's kinda cute seeing someone go through in 2024 the thought processes most went through in 2017. It shows this game wasn't just a product of its time, it's gonna be an everlasting beacon of solid game design 101, like Super Mario 64 or Metal Gear Solid.

i remember my first time, nostalgic

You had me at "You're Studio Ghibli old." Do enjoy the game and the explorations.

I absolutely love and appreciate your commentary style, it feels very natural. It is so obnoxious when someone is "trying" to be entertaining. The whole video felt like you were simply verbalizing your natural thoughts as you played the game. You just so happen to be someone who mentally processes the game in a way that is entertaining, no trying required. No fluff, no exaggerated emotions/reactions to things . . . just a dude sharing a natural experience of a video game. So damn refreshing! Looking forward to seeing your other content!

"Give me 40 or 50 hours. I'd like to explore first." He. Hehe. Hahaha. Hahahaahahahabbahabaababahaaaaagavabababba

Watching someone go into botw spoiler free is crazy nostalgic, really fun to watch and damn your getting the grasp on things way quicker than I did haha
-
I will repeat what others have been commenting, please make this a series! It's a lot of fun watching someone experience this game for the first time, being able to live vicariously through them, as we can't do it ourselves.

Please make more of this. This is good content

''Is this Hyrule's fault or Ganon's fault?'' YES.

Seriously, if this becomes a series I am tuning in every damn week! I'm so invested! Edit: also, I can see a few gatekeepers near the bottom of the comments. Don't mind them 😊 Zelda games have changed and come a long way since the first one. I think we'd love to see you give some of them a go at some point. BOTW is very different to some of the old games, which might have come as a dissapointment to some of the more longterm fans after waiting for it for so long. But not all of them 😁 It's a shame it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's every bit a Zelda game as the others, they've just taken a different approach. Some of my favourite content is of this game and it's sequel. It's a new vibe but so much fun!

You can turn the sheikah sensor off in the map menu

BotW is already a modern classic, and IMO the cure for many of the modern AAA openworld cancers that have been plaguing the industry for many years. Looking at you, Ubisoft. BUT! It's also good to remember that BotW itself is a HUGE departure from what people would consider the "classic Zelda formula". It does kinda take the series back to its 1986 roots, but it also reinvents a ton of things, resulting one of the most OPEN ended games I know of. If you want to have a trip down the memory lane and experience the OTHER GOTYAY masterpieces, Ocarina Of Time (the N64 orignal / PC recomp) is the way to start. You'll be shocked on how much LORE you miss by playing BotW blind, and how much innovation Nintendo poured on their games already 30 years ago.

Hi, I’m [State]. Your [Breath of the Wild] assistant! Ask me anything about the game! I’m happy to provide you with the information you need! Here are a couple of none spoiler tips: 1. If you take of your bow while in midair (you need to be falling not just jumping by pressing X) you will then slow down time making it easier to aim a little like flurry rush. 2. That guardian you saw shoots laser as you may have seen. You can parry those lasers back at them with a shield. Be careful though they can break you shield in one shot if you mess up! 3. Sell gems they have 2 purposes money and upgrading armour. But you can easily get more by fighting a talus’s (stone giant you died while fighting it). Bonus tip: throw remote bombs at the talus. It will make him fall over and let you climb on top to hit the weak point. Not sure if you want or can answer this question but are you playing on an emulator? The UI for naming your horse looked a little off.

Watching first time players are one of Zelda fans greatest past-time. You have literally summoned a fandom. I'm tuned in if you're going to continue this!

The good thing about playing the game now is you don’t have to wait 5+ years to play the sequel.
