Unexpected. I mean it is nintendo but all I see is hate for the game online, especially amongst zelda fans. Just playing through it for the first time and it's... pretty different indeed. I still like it though. Damn it is cleaning house.

Hate from salty loser on the internet.

Decent people recognize its a fantastic game, and easily best of 2017 (Mario a strong second)

Most of these people who hate Breath of the Wild are just angry kids.

Who cares what they think? It's an expected consequence after they grew up with junk like New Super Mario and Skyward Sword.

I know right! All those awards Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess got were purely based on the Zelda name alone.
