but you're saying you would rather have the game be yet another series of big dungeons when it showed it was capable of successfully mixing it up a little by focusing more on the exploration aspect of the series

It doesn't mix it up a little, it completely throws out the main concept. Half as many dungeons as most, and each is smaller than the first dungeon of any of the other games, with the final "dungeon" just being another part of the open world with basically no special gameplay of any kind.

Ignoring all the bad takes in this topic, TC I think you miss a core aspect of the Zelda series.

Each new game as a new central thing that they play around with. This central thing is often movement/exploration based, and is really what the whole game revolves around.

This is true, but it's always as an addition to the dungeon seeking adventure gameplay. This basically completely abandons that aspect of it rather that incorporating it, and leaves the Zelda aspects feeling like an afterthought. It honestly feels like they built a really cool game and then didn't have time to finish the actual game aspect of it. I wouldn't mind if any of the dungeons or bosses felt memorable, but they really don't, and I find myself suggesting people ignore the story unless you want the upgrades it gives you.
