Those first few hours with the game were magical. Trying your best to find your solution rather than find the solution is such a powerful statement illustrated through gameplay, rather than trying to get that point across through a story where the bad guy loses to the good guy in a really lame and uninspired way. Visually, the game looks spectacular, it's at its best when the sun is going down and the Hylian Shield reflects the light, making the colors just pop. Everything from exploring caves and getting rewarded with useful gear and items, to exploring the sky islands and solving a puzzle in the most unconventional and inappropriate way was nothing short of intentional from the developers, and I absolutely loved that experience, and I appreciate even more that the game doesn't try to do anything more than that, because I saw what they did with the story, unfortunately.

Now allow me to tell you the story of my people during the Poo poo wars a very very long time ago. Like long enough for my stuff to be called ancient.
