I'll be honest. The game is only praised and have GOTY awards because it has the Zelda IP. Without it, people will complain the same thing that Ubisoft and Bethesda Open World game suffers from. The Open World is empty, the weapon durability system is an archaic way for the game to be challenging, and the shrines are a joke.

I'll be honest, it's mediocre at best. The story tried to be serious, but one-dimensional characters and ludonarrative dissonance fails to take it serious.

Can get repetitive when you do the same stages with different characters.
