10 Reasons Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Haters Are Wrong
2. This IS A Better Game Than Ocarina Of Time
It's been twenty years, and about time everybody got over Ocarina of Time.
In truth, the 3DS re-release has been awesome - there's no denying that. Improved graphics and streamlined mechanics have made both OOT and the re-release of Majora's Mask far more enjoyable than what they were on the Nintendo 64. Touchscreen inventory management and smoother graphics have made the games feel less like relics and more like classics.
But despite the huge changes Breath of the Wild has made to the entire series, it's broken free of the restrictions placed upon it back in 1998 and 2000 with Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
Without linear maps, set paths making players move through set dungeons in a set way, and the fact it abandons the concept of key items blocking off parts of the world, Breath of the Wild has become a far freer game than anything before it.
There's no following vague directions from a character you don't care to interact with: You get to define your own goals and have a quest log to guide you towards main quests and side quests. It's comprehensive and user friendly: far better than the (sometimes deliberately confusing) Ocarina of Time.
