Tears of the Kingdom players think it might be tougher than Breath of the Wild
[ad_1]
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a lot of changes from Breath of the Wild, and it seems that the biggest one for some players is the difficulty.
When I first played Breath of the Wild in 2017, I was surprised at how difficult the early game was. The weapon degradation system meant you always had to keep an eye on what you were fighting, the enemies could pack some pretty big hits and obviously the wards were a nightmare to deal with. So color me surprised when Tears of the Kingdom felt even more difficult than the first game, a sentiment many other gamers seem to be sharing.
Players on the Zelda subreddit are discussing their feelings on the game’s difficulty, with the user who started the thread opening with, “Who else loves the fact that this game is so much harder than [Breath of the Wild]?” While I neither love nor hate that the game is more difficult, several players definitely find it more challenging than the first game.
“I died the most times in 10 hours of play on [Tears of the Kingdom] of what I did in 400 hours of [Breath of the Wild]wrote one user. “Even if you remove fall damage by forgetting to switch back to [the] glider after diving, it’s still a lot… I find this game overwhelming in a way I never got from [Breath of the Wild].” Several players expressed some frustration with the number of times enemies end up getting one shot at them, an issue they didn’t experience in the first game, and something I’m finding to be an issue as well.
One user shared that he’s not sure which he thinks is more difficult, believing that “combat is a bit harder” in Tears of the Kingdom, but “platforming is easier” due to Link’s new powers. Another just said they were “killed by a lizard with a mushroom on its boomerang” which is annoying but also really funny so who’s to say if it’s a bad thing or not.
Story wise, it makes a lot of sense that everything is stronger: everyone is weaker too, due to the side effects of the dark issue. Although it does not always make the gaming experience smooth.
Difficult gameplay isn’t the only thing players have to adjust to. A number of players are also completely forgetting about the Ascend ability, leading to them getting stuck in some sticky situations.
Who else loves the fact that this game is so much harder than BOTW?
