OK, after my first log was a joke about Link getting assaulted by tentacles which became my most liked review by a mile, I've finished the game and am now ready to give an actual review.
Yeah, uh...it's a masterpiece.
If you're one of the people claiming '70$ DLC' then you're either wrong or have played some BOMB DLC in your past because this experience makes BOTW look like a tech demo. Pretty much every issue I had with BOTW is improved here from the new slip resistance you can build up to the main dungeons being wayyy better. Not to mention the insane shit you can do with the new mechanics such as fusing and building. I've only scratched the surface of this but you've probably seen the insane (and probably genital shaped) stuff people have been building with this on social media. The depths I'll admit weren't my thing because I really like seeing shit when I play a video game, Hyrule was still amazing to explore and ESPECIALLY the skies, fucking around on them kicks ass (Also I'm currently writing a webnovel that'll start publishing in a few months about sky societies wink wink nudge nudge) not to mention an overall higher quality of Shrines, I feel.
And the story is also great. Yeah, people prefer the more lonely nature of BOTW, and I get that. But I honestly loved the more upbeat tone and interacting with more people and helping them with sidequests. Not to mention the main story, where you see the progression of the BOTW cast and see them interact in new ways in a believably aged world.
Overall, it's what everyone expected. You really, REALLY owe it to yourself to play it.

can you point out a theme that this game's story has? like an actual literary theme that it has beyond "the master sword is really cool"?
