i would completely agree with him. I feel like the zelda of zelda is represented zero anymore

I think he talks about how his favorite things about Zelda games, why he plays them are for the dungeons and the bosses. And since both are completely lackluster in this one (only 4 Divine Beasts and shrines that are usually solvable in about a minute, if they're not just a straight fight against a guardian, or solved with a quest outside the shrine itself; and for bosses, all 4 DB bosses have very similar visual appearances, which is also similar to Ganon himself), the game kind of felt like a big let down in that department.

But then the free-roaming stuff was also amazing. The climb and glide mechanics look like the most fun ever.

I played it for a bit when it first came out, it really felt like Witcher Breath of the Wild. Also the stinking "durability" (more like FRAGILITY) system for the weapons drove me nuts

BotW was the first single player RPG to captivate me in maybe a decade. I listened to a few minutes of his review, and mostly agree. My biggest gripes are:

1) The is no replayability. I have no idea how many times I've played various other Zelda games between the very first one and OOT. BotW just isn't hard...at all. No challenge to redo anything.

2) The were maybe 5 shrine quests where I really really wanted to redo them, but a little harder the next time. That doesn't happen :\

3) Eventide Island was my favorite part of the game, and that's the one spot that takes away all of your weapons and armor and makes you rebuild yourself and fight your way through. The mechanics of the game actually work way too perfectly for this area, but it's like 30 minutes then never again.

Other than that, somehow it's my favorite game I've played, but I hate so many things about it (down to normal combat and equipment), but the other parts just null that out somehow.

Edit: I liked it enough to put 150+ hours into it in under two months, which I've never done for a single player game. I did 116/120 shrines, most of the side quests, and 350+ korok seeds...but it still says I'm like only 45% complete...bleh. At this point, it's just fun to get on for 20 minutes and explore for a bit to find a seed or two. I'm looking forward to the DLC arena thing, I hope it's actually hard.
