Took me a while for this one, started multiple times on a couple devices. Gotta say I love the beginning half of this game a lot. The art style is enchanting, everyone is so expressive, it’s an original feeling take on the characters, and the expansive sea does evoke such a sense of adventure. The dungeons however… just not my favorite. The escort mission ones really do suck, and at that point in the game travel really does grind to a terribly tedious halt. You quickly tire of playing the ocarina every single time you merely want to change direction, and wish you were soaring or galloping across a huge hyrule map again. Love this game for being a unique experience and it’s cool to see just how many elements Breath of the Wild would later callback to, but it’s just not a too-tier Zelda for me personally.
