    My son just got a switch for Christmas, and his uncle leant him a bunch of games including Breath of the Wild.

    Since the hype is over, we can game without spoilers. It’s really nice. I feel like I’m playing Ocarina of Time again, where we have to just use our wits rather than rely on people to figure it out for us.

    Yes, I could look up how to do things, but I’ve resisted so far. It makes it a lot more fun.

    So far, though, I find the puzzles pretty easy and somewhat feel like devs have watered everything down as a result of the non-thinking gaming being much more prevalent

      I also was last to BotW. I had it and then didn’t play it for 3+ years, maybe 5. I think I received it before my son was born. I finished it before he turned 6.

      Anyway, I enjoyed it, but it was less about figuring stuff out and more about the adventure. I did enjoy the puzzles in the area-based dungeons and a few of the shrines. I nearly always forgot about one of the abilities.

        I’m considering the expansion pack subscription just so I can catch up on all the Zeldas I missed in my 20s. There’s a lot of good games there I need to play

          Yes, you have a point. I didn’t want to pay the money, but I do want to play the games. I missed SS and WW. I have OoT and TP, but my N64 needs to be cleaned and my Wii isn’t hooked up right now.
