Possibly the most obnoxious thing I've ever played; I guess it's not for me. Gave it the ol' college try and made it to the final boss (I think? the big goat king?) and figured I'd call it quits. If it hadn't won me over by then I seriously doubt the ending would change my mind. What a slog.
Nice music though.

The insane shake-up to the formula the series needed, but it's still missing some aspects that make Zelda what it is. It's kind of amazing how well Nintendo nailed a true, open-world experience on their first try. Unfortunately the story is fairly lackluster and the English VAs are pretty bad...not sure what went wrong there.
It's frustrating how this is simultaneously the best entry in the series while still lacking a ton of features that made the others so great. I can say I've sunk over 400 hours into New Horizons alone, which is far more than what can be said for any in the series since the original. New Leaf is cool, but can you play it on a TV? Nope.
