It was fine. But not what I'm looking for in a Zelda game.


I think that's my fundamental hangup. You see all these reviews calling it "The best Zelda game." Or at the very least, "The best Zelda game since (XYZ)." Except that it isn't. It doesn't meet the clearly established formula that is Zelda. It uses the assets and proper nouns from the franchise but it does not include a significant portion of the content that is associated with the brand. It'd be like if the next Call of Duty game did away with gunplay and focused more on paperwork and mission debriefings. Even if it were the best military office job simulator ever and it included characters from previous games, it's not really a Call of Duty game, because it does not include the elements that everyone expects from the series.

Or that's how I feel about it anyway. Obviously I'm in the minority.
