Really great analysis of Zelda Breath of the Wild. I love his thoughts on exploration and environmental storytelling.

Reduced focus on narrative due to simplistic story

Maximize freedom - early Ganon kills needs to be possible

Not capitalizing enough on the backstory other than the main quest

At first the Forgotten temple seems like just the kind we’re looking for, but once you come over the shrine the place feels tainted a little. Instead there could have been some kind of mural on the back wall which visually explained another version of the backstory.

Zelda could have chimed in more often every time we found a relic of Hyrule’s history. Voice acting without interrupting the gameplay.

The map itself was just a generic terrain overview

Place names appeared only after they’ve been visited

Prevents lazy players and developers from relying on it too much

Destructive trend: entering an area causes its place name to appear in bottom left corner.

If the temple of time didn’t say “Temple of Time” down here, how would you know it was the temple of time? First it was the piano theme. Link could only discover this was the temple of time by opening the Sheika slate map. There’s nothing visual cues, items in it or anything around that even suggests it was somehow related to time. In other words, it’s actually not a temple of time. It’s just a generic cathedral with a name attached.

Ocarina of time had the same issue

Tons of details scattered around the world, big and small

You can tell these Bokoblins have been practicing their archery

Arrows in the entrance gate of Kakariko village hint at either a bored villager or something even more sinister

These guys are delighted to have found some durians

Riju’s seal plushies wordlessly hint at her immaturity

Robbie’s lab used to be a lighthouse

The three hinox holding the keys to this shrine couldn’t have possibly been alive when the Sheikah erected the hint tablet, but they also happen to live inside massive rib cages which were the actual giants referred to in the text.

Many NPCs have quirks and moments to be discovered

Koko struggling to stay awake so she can protect her sister

But Hyrule suffers from the sense that there’s not much definitive history to be found

Next to Hateno village, there’s a dilapitated horseback archery course. A nearby house holds some arrows, which presumably would have been sold to customers. Even it’s location on the main road makes sense for a business. All these things paint a picture of better time when the owner would solicit passing travelers. Riding a horse through it while picking off a few neglected targets sells the post-apocalyptic setting because it tells a story and even allows the player to become a part of it in their own way.

Not many ruins like this to come across though

Most relics of the past just seemed like generic stone structures or burnt out houses. Makes sense that not EVERY place should be meaningful. But some places that should be aren’t.

Lake Hylia’s bridge is bookended by two towers complete with arrow slits and battlements, but there’s no way for guards to enter them. There’s no doors, no interior, and thus no sense that this was ever actually in use.

Lanayru Promenade, the Coliseum, and Akala Citadel give off the same hollow impression

Guardian husks are well utilized in a couple of places, most notably Fort Hateno. But they crop up a bit too often for their own good, robbing them of some of their importance.

This might be an underlying problem in how all of these ruins ultimately stem from a single event, leaving you with little to learn from their downfall.

Considering the focus on exploration, archaeology seems like a fitting inclusion.

So some decorative artifacts could have still been lying around in a few places waiting to be sold off or be displayed in Link’s home.

Nintendo is family friendly, so there’s a lack of human corpses in the overworld, although they could be used to great effect in storytelling.

Flashbacks, voiceovers, murals, architecture, corpses, spirits, artifacts ... All these avenues for fleshing out the world remain largely underutilized. Probably because of the extra resouces it would take, but maybe also because the area text engendered some complacency about how severe this problem was.

If discovery is a reward for exploration, then another detrimental trend is the reuse of Hyrule.

You don’t need to be a Zelda expert to identify Death Mountain and figure out that’s probably where the Gorons are. Try to remember back to that first Ocarina of Time playthrough. Gorons were a new addition in that edition and entering Goron’s domain resulted in a bunch of discoveries about them: they can roll around, they eat rocks, they have a chieftain, they’re having troubles, and they have a unique culture to be experienced.

These renditions of familiar faces are superb in their execution though.

Zora’s domain looks beautiful

Korok forest looks more lush than ever

The Rito bird nest is an inspired design

Fantasy races are often homogenized, but here each race has tons of variations within themselves.

Completionism and sense of permanence

If not for the blood moon, clearing out enemy camps might have been: the satisfaction of taking back Hyrule. Presumably this isn’t possible for technical constrains and ensuring the world remains filled with combat encounters and resources no matter how long the players take to explore. If they felt that their actions had an impact on Hyrule, it might be enough to motivate them instead of more combat engagement, not less.

Tarry town quest is weak. Essentially it involves talking to NPCs until you find the right one, gather rewards, then repeat times five. At least nice to have gathering wood to be the focus for once -- more purpose to the mechanic. Relaxing to be working towards building a town and the mundane way than usual for a Zelda title. But repeat too many times, it can feel like a slug.

900 koroks to find -- to make sure an average players will stumble across a reasonable amount

Standout areas to appreciate even if they lack permanence or distinct rewards.

Thai flow forests reduced visibility

Lost woods: entry puzzle, three well-rounded distinct side quests, a cave of ordeals, most lively rendition of a forest town yet

Yiga clan hideout has enforced stealth plus unique boss

Eventide island

All these places have something in common: they’re restrictive

Just look at the path to Zora’s domain:

more restrictive gameplay can lead to more memorable outcomes

It rains here and its a mountainous region. So the most reasonable option for progresss is to follow the path, which makes the player run into several enemy encounters. Given the choice you might be the player who fights them just because, but if you’re the type to go around, placing them right here in your path makes them more of a threat, which encourages you to take them out.

Nerf the paraglider a bit

Won’t work if Link can continue to effortlessly glide over so much terrain

Should function more like Skyward Sword where it was simply used to break falls. Would make a fast way to descend without being so easily abusable.

Shield surfing would then be a more feasible way to cover distance by speeding down sllopes.

Actually more satisfying to cut down trees to cross ravines

Their camouflage is too easy to notice.

So such ambush tactics is just what this kind of open world needs.

Others have similar tricks: Octorocks, Koblins, minor talus, Yiga clan members.

At worst they feel like random encounters

Problem: easy to run away after they reveal themselves

Lionels and mounted bokoblins are the only real cases where fleeing might result in death

Deku scrubs, Bodongos, and the likes are missing - but also present due to octorok vairants accomplishing much the same thing

(... TBC 32:33)

Something addictive about trying to grab that perfect shot of wildlife (photographer)

BOTW doesn’t have enough variation given its size

Eventide island: people value every equipment and food they can obtain

Players can make it harder for themselves by sticking to self-proposed rules

making an experience feel real (reality) vs making it simply look real (realism)

Pro mode simply hides the menu items ➡ more immerssive

Bakugou/Midoriya – de-aging; an encounter with a villain leaves Midoriya with a de-aged toddler Bakugou (art: cyalidecider)

overhaul & tomura – chaos; “there’s no need for two kings” (art: cyalidecider, akamarulover) (fic: kacchanns)
