The timeloop mechanism definitely sets this game apart from the rest of the series and it will alienate a lot of people, but there is a sense of sadness, of despair, of unavoidable tragedy in this game that only Breath of the Wild managed to somehow come close to. It's the dark half of Ocarina of Time, it's another direct sequel to a Zelda game that comes after a beloved one and polarized players. I love it with all my heart, but I understand if you don't.
