As a fan of the series for ~15 years I honestly am not a huge fan. My least favorite Zelda game to date. I don't think that it's a bad game by any means, because it'd be a lie to say it's anything but incredibly well made, but I don't enjoy it whatsoever in comparison to the games from about 2014 and before. The dungeons and shrines felt more like a chore than something I could get immersed in, the soundtrack was forgettable to me, and I can't really name any characters that I love enough to remember things about. I don't like how different the gameplay is in comparison to other titles and it feels more like a spin-off to me. I didn't even enjoy the story and the lack of lore and connection to past games disinterested me further. But again, I don't think it's a bad game overall. I only prefer the older titles. I do think it's worth playing regardless, because it definitely can be a fun experience if you play it as what it is instead of focusing on older Zelda aspects (which is what I did and it made my experience much less fun, I used to dislike the game a lot more than I do now).
