I had a lot more fun with TOTK than I did BOTW. I dropped it for a few months there in the middle but it was easy to slip back into it. The combat is more fun, more variety in enemies and weapons with the fuse mechanic. The ultrahand in general seems like a much better concept/execution than the sheikah bombs/magnet/ice/etc. in BOTW. A lot more emergent gameplay that comes from it which is neat. The story is similar in concept but I was far more engaged throughout the runtime (probably cos I didn't watch a 2 hour Joseph Anderson video about it before playing) and I was actually invested in what was happening and the characters. I kind of wish it was more of a traditional BioWare RPG styley where the Sages actually travel with you so you can get to know them a bit more/hear them interact with each other but I know that's not the kind of game this is. The temples were pretty simple BUT they did feel a bit more dynamic and 'big deal' than they did in BOTW. I liked how much more impactful the main quest progress felt - Lookout Landing is a cool idea, and having the Rito, Gerudo, Gorons and Zora begin to appear there as you 'rally' them is cool. The presence of the sages at the final battle is awesome too, the fight against the 'Demon Army' actually felt kinda epic. The finale fighting the Demon Dragon from the back of another dragon was badass. For what it's worth Zelda's sacrifice becoming a dragon really surprised me, I didn't see that coming - though I did see her getting turned back into a Hylian at the end. Can't be TOO dark. Soundtrack and visuals were stunning as expected. I'm gonna have to see if I can find a decent copy of the soundtrack to listen to. Made me excited for Zelda again which I haven't been for ages (BOTW didn't really awaken it in me), maybe I'll look at playing Skyward Sword or Majora's Mask - though I know the plots which I find kills my enjoyment pretty hard. I wish I was the sort of person who cared about 100%ing games because I think I could easily sink another 80 hours into this game but I'm pretty satisfied just having finished the story, even if I used a walkthrough at times out of laziness.
