Not nearly as good as the first game, mostly due to my sense of discovery dying after around the 5th hour playing. Additionally the temples are short and uninteresting, the NPC quest system are dumb as rocks, and the story is really annoyingly told. I am also completely sick of bokoblin combat at this point.

This game mainly held my attention with its 3 new fantastic abilities, which are undeniably better than botw’s. The bossfights and final battle are also a huge step up from the first game.

In general, I enjoyed playing this! Despite my gripes, the core of botw’s gameplay is still so solid and was fun to revisit.
