Daily Debate: Does Master Mode Make Breath of the Wild More Fun?

Master Mode, an undertaking for those brave enough to pick up a sword once again and venture out into the land of Hyrule. Breath of the Wild, a beautiful game that explores Hyrule in a way that has never been done before. Marry the two together and you have some awesome DLC! Breath of the Wild was fun by itself, but does Master Mode in Breath of the Wild make it more fun?

Yes, yes it does. Not only does Master Mode make the game harder, but it gives Breath of the Wild a little more of an edge in my opinion. With the addition of enemies that heal and the much harder hitting golden enemies Master Mode added something that the original adventure didn’t have much of. Difficulty. I feel like I have to try ten times harder to play Master Mode, and I feel like it makes the game more fun; especially when it comes to combat. I think it makes you have to strategize and think a little more. For instance, there are areas that I just avoid because I know it will be teeming with enemies and often multiple golden enemies. Golden enemies are no joke. I made the game more fun to me. I’m not saying that Breath of the Wild was too easy in normal mode, but I do love a good challenge, and I good challenge is always fun!
