...cannot stop playing it. I already put in 40 hours and look forward to playing it when I'm away from my Switch. Here's a little backstory into why I hated it at first. I had just purchased a Switch last year mostly because Fire Emblem was coming out. Since everyone raved about BOTW, I figured I couldn't go wrong with also picking it up. But I hadn't played any games in over a few years and before that, any that I did play were probably RPGS on the 3DS. I couldn't get used to moving the camera in BOTW so I was terrified of doing anything. It also drove me nuts how much freedom there was because I didn't know what to do and felt extremely overwhelmed. I'm used to RPGS that have a more linear storyline.

Funny enough, it was probably playing 400+ hours of Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles DE in the last year that probably got me to become a pro at moving the camera angle so when I came back to BOTW, it felt like second nature. And now I actually love the freedom of exploring whatever I want. I keep getting distracted from exploring new parts of the continent and discovering new Sheikah towers and shrines.

Storywise, I'm currently at Zora's domain getting shock arrows so that I can fight one of the Divine Beasts. But I can't help going northward to Akkala plains and even further up to discover new places and get new weapons. Anyway, I just love this game so much and wanted to share my experience. Curious if anyone experienced something similar. I have heard that while most love BOTW, there's a small minority that hates it. I feel like I've now been in both camps haha.
