Third playthrough, this time with DLCs and with that on Master Mode. I will not be going into the additions here and instead focus on the main game.

I was interested in how going back after Tears Of The Kingdom would feel, luckily this game is not really worsened. After all, this was a finished game, and not an incomplete version of what came out last year. The Plateau remains and absolute highlight in tutorial design and design as a whole, and is probably the stronger beginner area of the two games.
Otherwise, the game was as usual. A really fun time that maybe overstayed its welcome. If you have done all main quests and shrines, been to all major locations, it feels pointless to remain in this world despite multiple incomplete side quests. And obviously, there are so many small details that could be improved leading to an overall smoother and nicer game.
But the journey is so good. So fun. So impressive. Exploration is done masterfully and while there are no more discoveries, I still appreciate what is there and can fondly remember my first time.
One of the best open-world games of all time, at least of this size. It is impressive they managed to recapture this magic again.
