Just a straight upgrade from BOTW in nearly every way. The map is similar, but revamped. The new areas above and below are fun to explore and offer unique challenges. The story delivery via Dragon's Tears was far more engaging and interesting than the memories in BOTW. Fusing weapons is so fun that whenever I consider going back to BOTW now I feel it'll be lacking specifically in that regard. Ascend is shockingly useful and fun. Recall + Ultrahand are the biggest game changers for sure. Just a flat upgrade over BOTW in nearly every way, although I do wish we go to keep the bombs so there was a way to deal damage without weapons (although I've yet to run out of weapons at any point, so maybe that's a non-issue anyway). Choppy framerate that doesn't bother me at all, but might bother others. Otherwise the only bugs I've encountered were things like the fun glitches that can only be replicated if you're looking to do them.
