I never understood why Breath of the Wild was so beloved. I played through it and Tears of the Kingdom, but I really wonder if they would have been as well received if they didn’t benefit from the Zelda franchise.
I found myself getting annoyed with the game more often than excited. I very quickly became annoyed encountering koroks, or shrines, or the stupid sign guy. I think the bevy of side quests and collectibles diluted too much of the narrative and enjoyment of the world.
I’m also a botw hater. No Zelda dungeons, forces you to explore with shitty weapon health mechanic. I disabled that in the emulator and realized how pointless exploration was when you didn’t need to replace your weapons. I’ll give it the glider but every open world game has a glider now so there’s better choices.

Breath of the Wild seems like it would make more sense if you’re a kid.
I know I would’ve spent countless hours just wondering the world, considering the real one kinda sucks.
