I don't know how I feel about this game
13 March 2018
While most of the Zelda games have had quite a bit of world-building and exploration, they took this to a whole new level here. The world and exploration is more vast. I hope Nintendo continues with the open-world idea. I was eager to explore more of the world with this game. The world is immersive and you can cook your own food, run into people, encounter shrines, build your own house and town, and other challenges...there is a lot of things you can do in this game.

I guess I'm in the minority here, I don't understand why people dislike the Divine Beasts dungeons, I thought it was a neat concept to have you control the divine beasts while also figuring out the puzzles in the dungeon. But I think it's because I'm a sucker for puzzles. Too bad you can't go near them after you defeated the bosses. I mean, what if there's a chest in there that you may have forgot? I love most of the champions and how they give you powers after you complete each Divine Beasts.

Gameplay aside, the story was so-so and again too dramatic. The story was nearly non-existent, there is like no established story except for you have to defeat the Divine Beasts, find all the memories, and defeat Calamity Ganon. I didn't like the idea of Link waking up from a hundred-year sleep with amnesia and some of the characters such as Zelda, Impa, and Revali were annoying characters to me. Zelda is an overemotional brat who pressures herself, takes her stress out on Link and cries too much. Some people do complain about how stoic Link is in this game and it makes me wonder why Nintendo downgraded Link's expressions in this game after the last few 3D Zelda games had a more expressive Link in my opinion.

Some things didn't make sense such as the Master Sword killing you. The ending didn't make sense and it didn't seem to wrap everything up. It just ends with Zelda and Link looking up at the sky and how did Zelda survive a hundred years and hold in Ganon for this long? Wouldn't that be tiring for her?

I don't know if I should recommend this game or not, it's okay but the story seems pretty short and non-established. I do feel it's overrated. Also, Zelda and her relationship with Link was off-putting. I don't ship Zelink and not in a million years do I want them together.
