Those people need to come to terms with the fact the devs think of the divine beasts as dungeons too, so dungeons never went away. Thus, worrying about their presence was dumb to begin with. They should've questioned their execution, not their presence

Got nothing better to do, so i ask yall what was your first Zelda and how did you find out about this series?
For me, i would often read gaming magazines while waiting for my mom to finish grocery shopping, but ironically enough i had never heard of Zelda, even though i owned a Wii back then. I found out about Zelda first when i was looking for a new 3ds game to buy, i saw that oot 3d artwork with link riding epona with hyrule in the background, ive always been the type to prefer epic aventures in media so that s*** hooked me i had to buy it i whined to my parents and they bought It for me. I was enticed by the beginning, but it wasnt until the atmosphere inside the deku tree that i was completely taken by the game. I played the f*** out of it, did like 5 playthroughs in a row. Ocarina of time being your first Zelda is a nice introduction to the series id say lol, so i was lucky i picked that one first. Funnily enough i got this game before skyward sword released, so SS was the first Zelda game i was highly anticipating, but that time i didnt have to wait long unlike with botw and totk.
I got the limited skyward sword edition with the golden Wii controller and the 25th anniversary ost, i was that hyped. I still got those in full display, but i lost the box
One of my family members had an old NES with the OG Zelda that I would play when I was a real little kid. But I didn't even know what I was playing and would just run around. One of my friends had OoT on the N64 and i thought that s*** looked lame but we never even left Kokiri forest
My first real experience with Zelda was like 4th grade I think. My dad got me the platinum GameCube with the Zelda collectors edition that came with OG Zelda 1, 2, OoT, and MM. With a Wind Waker demo too. Everything changed from that day

links awakening dx the first video game I ever played + beat when I was like 3-4
I got further along the game as I was learning how to read
still have my atomic purple gameboy color after all these years but not the game
Inb4 they are floating in the sky
I know enough time hasnt passed in game but they would make for cool environmental/ruined mini dungeons especially in the sky or even better underground with regular enemies infesting them
Imagine if the divine beasts had been shadow of the colossus type challenges in botw
would've made a lot of sense with the climbing mechanic
Say what you want about the beasts but those themes were nice
I legit don’t get the complaints. I understand being disappointed in the aesthetics of the beasts given they’re all the same on that front, but the puzzles themselves are good.

I like the beasts too but I get the disappointment. Its mostly just a different feeling. The blights are repetitive and a bit generic design wise. Mini guardians get stale after a point. No surprise minibosses or regullar enemies in general to bring that thrilling claustrophobic combat to balance the puzzles. The actual scale of the beasts while inside also feel off from what we usually expect in the zelda dungeon experience.
However later in the game Hyrule Castle brings that dungeon combat experience and the dlc final trial feels a lot more like a regular dungeon structurally. Its a massive, mysterious, labyrinth that still feels like its a part of the natural world while also taking that shiekah tech aesthetic and maximizing its potential. Even a little tweak like bringing in the two rarer sentry guardians as surprise encounters really added a lot to the experience.
Anyone here gonna try and pull an all-nighter when this drops?
Exams been f***ing up my sleep schedule so might as well do it anyway

Eeeh they're a bit underwhelming imo, concept wise they're interesting with how you can change the environment to complete the puzzles but idk it felt like they didn't go all the way in with it
I doubt they do this in ToTK but I really wish they just tweaked the music / color palette by region for the shrines.
Would have been such a simple fix to stop them from feeling same-y. Like have little gerudo style musical interpolations with the shrine theme and make the s*** sand colored when you're over there.
Make the s*** green with and a lil spooky when you're near the The Lost Woods etc
