In no other game out there can players dive seamlessly from high in the sky into a hole in the earth which leads to an underground cavern the entire size of the overworld map, and that is what sets TOTK apart from every other game in the market.Īnother part of what makes exploration so enjoyable in TOTK are its controls, which TOTK pretty much masters and optimizes in every way from BOTW to allow players to easily traverse the environment by climbing, jumping, and diving across Hyrule. Tying into that increased hardware power is the size of TOTK's version of Hyrule, which is easily the largest, most seamless open-world Zelda fans have ever had the chance to explore. One of the most obvious ways is in its graphics, which makes sense considering the Switch is the most powerful hardware Nintendo has released thus far.
As much as fans of the more traditional style of Zelda games might disagree, there are some places where TOTK does genuinely improve on its predecessors.
