The Witcher 3 Vs. Zelda: Breath Of The Wild | Versus

Witcher 3 has some great (if not best-in-genre) side-stories to tell, but damn, it's pretty mediocre as a game. It would've worked much better as a novel I think. There was too much slogging through the shallow, , non-interactive, restricted and monotonous gameplay (and those are deadly sins in an open world game in my opinion) to make it worthwhile for me.

If i had spend a year on an Island and take just one of those two games with me, It'd definitely be Zelda BotW. It's just a much better game and not just a sightseeing simulator through a book franchises world.

Witcher looks pretty dated now. BOTW has it's own Nintendo/Anime thing going on and it works. My biggest issue was the emphasis on the 120 shrines. 70 was too much never mind 120!!! The game needed more side missions like GTA and more boss battles like Horizon Zero Dawn. I played Witcher after Assassins Creed Origins and it felt really dated and clumsy which is unfair as its an older game. Regardless LOZ still has the best action figures http://nova-store.co/product/legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-action-figure/ I've yet to see any Witcher toys that are worth getting to be honest. Witcher is not a franchise I'm excited about RDR2 now theres a game I could lose 6 months to!

The reason you explore in TW3 is because someone told you too, or you have to for some quest. In BOTW, you explore because of wonder and curiosity, because you saw something and you wanted to go there. BOTW doesn't feed a story to you. In BOTW, you're not playing as Link, you are Link. You make your own decisions, the game doesn't make them for you.

Its clearly BOTW for me.

man... Witcher 3 is a great game that I've spent a ton of time and money (for new PC) on... but I loved BotW so much that I decided it's going to be my desert island game. So once again, I'm torn.

Everything they have said in the videos are the reasons I love about both of these games. But Witcher 3 still feels like a video games that it's confined within the certain video games rules and logic. BotW also have the game's rules and logic, but it's more align with the real world logic (and physics) so you already kinda know what you can and can't do within the first hour of playing without the game actually lay it down for you.

So I guess if I have to choose, it's going to have to be BotW for the cheer sense of wonder.

BOTW was fantastic, I'm about to play W3 so I can't compare yet.

Zelda is a better game to play through overall i'd say, but Witcher 3 definitely has superior story telling.

So much salt from people who clearly don’t have a switch or botw.

Witcher 3 by far.

Maybe Zelda if I was still 12.

As someone who's played both, I think gameplay wise BotW is superior to the Witcher 3 when it comes to gameplay. Story and plot the Witcher 3 is superior.

Loved them both but seeing as how I've gone through W3 twice now and only once through BotW The Witcher wins this one out for me.

Lol, Zelda is so much worse is just about every way, the fact that people debate this is hilarious.

The Witcher 3, by a lot. Zelda was alright, but I played it unlike most that loved it, where it was just another checklist game to me. The best part of Breath of the Wild to me was just helping build Tarrey Town honestly. It had short but sweet character moments. I liked the game, but it was pretty disappointing to me. The Witcher 3, on the other hand, is simply one of, if not my favorite open world game to date. It was the game that kept on giving to me where you discover a lot in a beautiful world with layers of interesting stories to tell.

I could certainly nitpick, but nothing added up to make it less than superb to me. Zelda was a game I felt I didn't really need to spend all that time in as the shrines, and from what I hear, especially the korok seeds, aren't worth the effort and the monotony. The Witcher 3 I didn't regret one moment of spending my time experiencing. I think I spent around 150 hours in Zelda, but in The Witcher 3, that was almost 400 hours, if not more.

At least to me, in terms of what I want to experience, The Witcher 3 excels far past Zelda. I think what Zelda does for some though, didn't quite do it for me. I think you can definitely argue that Zelda is a better, more entertaining game, but that said with the categories in this video, like the story, world, and what have you, The Witcher 3 is so much better.

Let's get one thing straight , there are games and then there is The Witcher 3. Enough said.

Witcher 3: reguarded by many as the greatest video game of all time vs shrine simulator. I'm sorry, but Witcher 3 has an organic world with a believable world, everything feels perfect in it's spot, and feels natural. The soundtrack while riding roach down the trails of velen was amazing, while killing griffons, and wyvern. There is nothing like witcher 3, and the only game that can top it is cyberpunk 2077. The game set the bar for gaming. Breath of the wild had nostalgia.... This is what's wrong with the argument people think because nintendo makes something it's automatically good, but if you stripped the title for breath of the wild then no one would care, and call it boring. Put some different name on witcher 3 and people would still love it. That's the beauty of that game, and the only thing zelda has for it is "the legend of zelda"

Witcher 3 destroys Zelda every time, anyone saying otherwise is just delusional.

Witcher wouldn't exist without Zelda. BotW changed the open world game, Witcher 3 tries too hard to be a movie it really only impresses teenagers. Zelda is top-tier gaming, Witcher 3 was flavor of the month for hype beasts. Not even close - Zelda wins. Time will prove it.
