"each shrine is like one screen from a zelda 1 dungeon" I would say that it's actually more of a small chunk, anywhere from one to a few screens, depending on and accounting for secrets, additional puzzles and offshoots, and interconnectivity between different areas of the shrine.
Sweet little Moonlight! Such a beautiful kitten! 😻 I am sorry for your loss. Side note, concerning the aesthetics of the shrines and such: I feel the magitech aesthetics are really creative (even if they can get old after only a few shrines).
This video is too underrated. If you’re a Zelda fan, its contents are causing your brain to release dopamine. The research and comparisons are all on point. I would love to see something like this done again.
Oh dear Lord! Thankfully I didn't have to do that. Instead, I referred to other people who tested it out already. zeldauniverse.net/2017/03/26/it-takes-57-minutes-to-cross-hyrule-corner-to-corner-in-breath-of-the-wild/ www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/60ztlj/botwspoilers_time_it_takes_to_walk_across_the/
Unpopular opinion but the departure from a heavy reliance on the dungeon system is a good thing. Personally I hope they keep this for the future however I wouldn’t mind more dungeons. A mix of like 2/3 overworks 1/3 dungeons would be nice as opposed to the singular true dungeon of botw. The old formula was stale and needed change and I personally welcome it
The thing that makes BotW Hyrule Castle so difficult is the egregious overuse of Guardians. It doesn’t even make sense from a story perspective because they are supposed to be out in the world searching for Link, not camping out in the villain’s base. Instead, Hyrule Castle should have been overrun with Lynels.
Basically they where here to protect the castle and the people in there but then they got corrupted and killed the castle people and now they are ready to defend Ganon from link when he comes that's why they are still here
i dont think anyone agrees but i think that the yiga clan hideoute 100% counts as a dungeon. it has combat, it has puzzles, it has a boss fight at the end, and it has a main mechanic (the stealth), i can even argument that the bananas are its dungeon item! ok maybe not but i can say that its the most clasicc 3D dungeon of all in botw. and i also think that the enemy camps arround some towers are undervalued
@@TheBreadPirate i think that the only things that can be used to argue that it isnt a full dungeon, are the fact that its realy short and its part of a bigger misson wich ends in its own dungeon. so i think it can easily be called mini dungeon. : )
I miss the traditional dungeon structure; I hope they go back to it in future games. (Also, I'm very happy you no longer have time to respond to every comment. It means your channel's getting the recognition it deserves.)
Normally I try to watch youtubers with between 1k and 1 Million subs because ones with over 1 mil usually have very little interaction with the subscribers. (Actually, it’s really about over 50k, but I wanted to give a big range so I’m not discounting very many youtubers) and usually people with under 1k usually don’t have very good quality, both sound and video subject wise. You completely broke that, you’re just as good at it, if not better than people I watch with over 100k subs. (You also reply to every comment and know lots of other youtubers, both big and small, both of which are huge for me. ) I would hope you get to 1 million subs, but I know you don’t want to be that big, because then you might lose the interaction, so I will say that you deserve 1 Mil, but I hope that you get 10k.
Man, thanks for the kind words Tom. I don't often get comments like these, but they're very special to me. I doubt we'll ever make it to 1 Million Subscribers, let alone 10 Thousand Subscribers, but so long as you appreciate the videos I make that's all that matters. 😁 This comment really made my day so thank you again Tom!

Instead I'm doing my streams on Discord so that I can talk to viewers as I play. You're more than welcome to join if you want though!
Trial of power shrine and Yiga clan hideout are the most dungeony things in BotW in my opinion (trial of power alone is at least as in depth as a divine beast and way more enjoyable).
Alright, I would like to quickly say, Zelda 1 and BoTW have an even amount of restricted areas. They may have approached them in different ways, but they exist in both. Notably, you need a korok leaf to get to the island in the southeast island, and you need gerudo clothing to get into gerudo town. The major difference is that BoTW streamlined the experience, by giving the solution much closer to the problem. To an extent, this is nice, but it also makes it feel less like *I* solved a puzzle, and much more like the game gave it to me. Comparatively, in older 3D Zelda games, you are shown areas you can't access because of a lacking tool, and it rewards you for remembering them. I personally prefer this style, and hope BoTW2 does that, because that feels like the most satisfying way to do it in my opinion.
I subbed yesterday and I swear u only had 2k subs then and now you've got 5k almost that's mad you'll probably be over 100k soon cos ur content is so good
Ahoy from the Legend Zone! These comparisons are fantastic! It's really cool to see how similar and yet how different BotW and the Original are. Awesome work!
I’d like to see the BotW2 dungeons make up one large underworld, done in the style of the Zonai Labyrinths. The feeling needs to be sufficiently claustrophobic.
If I get a Switch it will probably be a normal one. That way I can record it for videos. Unfortunately, money is expensive so I'm not in the market for a Switch yet.
Sadly no. Moonlight died after getting sick at a young age. However, her sister named Yoshi is alive and well. I'd send pictures but that's not possible via the comments section.
I don't have a Switch, but I think it's going to be an awesome game if you're into Zelda lore! Of course, it's not a Zelda game when it comes to gameplay (which is my cup of tea). So I'm only a little bit excited.
In my opinion Hyrule Castle has never seemed like a dungeon, more like a unique region, due to the fact that it doesn’t really restrict your access to it. You could effectively just rush through the whole thing, or climb the outside of it and avoid all the obstacles.
This video did bad when it was first made so I didn't plan on a sequel... BUT Now that interest is up I am considering a sequel. Although it will be formatted slightly different.
I look at shrines as a quarter of a dungeon seeing as u can get a heart container or stamina container after 4 of them so i see completing 4 shrines as completing 1 whole dungeon
Thing is, caves with heart pieces have been around for a long time in previous titles and they werent considered dungeons, shrines are closer to those than to actual minidungeons. By the logic "shrines are dungeon because there is a quarter of a heart container" you can pretty much double or even tripple the official number of dungeons there are in each game
Although it's definitely not a Souls like, it's quite something some of Breath of The Wild's action and combat is compared un sarcastically by veteran gamers to Dark Souls; this game came along ways from the mostly laughably easy combat of most of the modern Zelda games.
What about the labyrinths, eventide island, and typhlo ruins? I know those are counted under shrines, but their outdoor elements should give them a different status
I can say that the castle is really not that hard to explore after the plateau, you just need to be very stealthy and obviously don't enter through the front gates. You'll quickly find some good weapons which you can use to sneak-attack the enemies inside.
@Stuart Harding Well they are technically shrine challenges because he brought up Blessing Shrines and each shrine at the end of the labyrinths are Blessing Shrines, so they were mentioned just not physically brought up.
Love your content! Also I think both Zelda games are great. But I don't really play Zelda 1 Even though I can play it. It just doesn't spark interest for me. Also can you explain in the next Botw video how Master mode is or is not hard? Because I play it and I do die a lot but you can just avoid enemy's. I even defeat Water-blight Ganon on my first try..
Fixing Master Mode is a great idea for a video! I have a lot of videos already in the works currently, so I can't guarantee a Master Mode video will be made anytime in the near future. But I am going to add it to my journal so I remember the idea and credit you.
Ha ha, that became a joke during production. 🤣 Another Zeltuber named "Legend Zone" was a test viewer and caught the mistake. So if you look at 7:13 there's some text referring to his real name.
Technically it's a manji, a symbol of good luck in east asia. The Nazi's appropriated the symbol too, but in east asia they don't care the Nazi's used it. They keep using it for their temples.
You can't access death mountain in BOTW... before lowering the bridge of Eldin. The wind will push you back if you go to scale it. Sigh, 30 minutes of my life I won't get back.
Only Zelda games I've actually put time into are Zelda 1 and BotW, and it was quite interesting seeing the differences between the two. Also I agree with everyone else your content is great

Shrines are not dungeons, they are caves where you find heart pieces, there have been those in most previous titles and it wasnt considered dungeons.
bread: you cant have a mini boss after the main boss
dark beast ganon: *cries*

Trial of power shrine and Yiga clan hideout are the most dungeony things in BotW in my opinion (trial of power alone is at least as in depth as a divine beast and way more enjoyable).
