*** Nintendo Switch ***

I much prefer the older Zelda gameplay. I tight story with a fixed and simple way to play. Go through dungeons in their set order and not able to wander or get lost. Finding each new weapon and gadget as you go through, esch one letting you solve the next puzzle.

Don't have time for endless wandering round trying to find stuff or weapons that don't last long. I long for a new game like Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword.
 
I love the fact the world in botw is open and sparse at times, makes it feel more real. Galloping across a field as the sun sets with that beautiful piano tinkling in the background... it's magical.

Oblivion is one of my all time fav games but you couldn't walk 5 steps before finding a ruin, dungeon or something to explore.

If anything I prefer botw it over tears as it feels like they've shoe-horned extra stuff into the landscape just for the sake of it. Although I do like exploring the new caves and love the sky areas.

I've never understood the issue with the weapons, yeah they break but you constantly find more and it encourages you to try other types. If it's that much of a problem just complete the Trials and you have the upgraded master sword which doesn't need to recharge.

Zelda 2 on the NES back in the day put me off Zelda games for a looooong time. I've tried a few since but bounced off them all for one reason or another.

Be interesting to see which direction Nintendo takes with the next one on the Switch 2 given these have been massive critical and commercial successes.
 
My opinion for what it’s worth. I love all the Zelda games from the snes onwards. BoTW and Tears are the best of the lot. On a different level of creative genius to everything that has gone before. That doesn’t mean that I am right or anyone else is wrong but there it is, that’s what I think.

You're right, it's all opinion, some people adore CoD for example but you couldn't pay me to play it nowadays.

I would like to see some remakes of the titles I missed as maybe with modern updates and improvements they might click with me more.
 
My daughter plays Minecraft on Switch and wants to voice chat with a friend. Other than having Nintendo online what's the best way to set this up? Since there are (I think) no voice comms would I need to use Discord on a mobile or similar? I have a headset for my Xbox that should work on Switch. Just wondered what others here do.

I don't play Minecraft, but Nintendo Online doesn't support voice chat so I'd imagine you'd have to look at 3rd party solutions ie. Discord/mobile.

I think Nintendo themselves have a mobile app that allows voice with your Nintendo friends (at least that's how I understand it from the little I've seen). Might be an option if you want it more locked down/straight forward than discord. I'm assuming her friend also plays on Switch.

The issue as far as I can make out is that not all games have voice chat support and Minecraft is one of them.

I think I'll try Discord on the phone, though I suppose that means I'll have to hook up a headset to my phone. It's never straight forward with Nintendo eh!

I agree mainly because of the technical aspect of the latest games, however i do think that A link to the past, The Wind Waker and Links Awakening are fantastic gaming storytelling.
