4.5★ - I love the game.
This game was wonderful to play. I didn't have the same joy of exploration I got from BoTW and I feel that was going to be the case when the map was "re-used" (That was never an issue to me, I knew that meant development would be put elsewhere). However everything else made up for it.
The story is still pretty weak like BoTW. But that's mostly due to how the finale was handled. The mystery of the past was engaging enough. Seeing what took place up to the imprisoning of Ganondorf. I even thought they did something bold but that was sadly ruined by the end.
The gameplay is top notch. Combat is great but I still find myself avoiding it quite often cause I personally find it a chore. I know that contradicts what I just said. But to me I can see that it is a solid system but for me personally not too engaging. I have to get myself to fight enemies just so I have materials for upgrades. The new enemy variety is simply amazing.
The addition of "Side Stories" is great, to let you know when something will be impactful to the world and your about to be a bit more engaged than a simple side quest.
I have quite a lot to say about this game. This review will probably be updated overtime until it's a super long brain fart about a really amazing Zelda.
