I've come to calling it "deceptively small". It's not really as big as it tries to present itself as.

I remember it getting crazy good reviews in March, dominating GOTY awards from November to January and still getting listed as a must-have Switch game.

It really isn't. It's a very fun game if you aren't looking for a Zelda game, but if you're hoping for the things that typically make the series - particularly the huge dungeons, the sense of progression as you gain new items throughout the game, and the engaging boss battles with interesting mechanics - you're going to be disappointed.

I agree!

The dungeons are laughably short, even the final one, the bosses are honestly pretty dull, and it uses the open world to padd the game more than enrich it, imo.

There are certain popular things and franchises that will always be divisive on CE. Zelda is one of them.

it's got one of the few good open worlds in a game

but it's got flaws just about everywhere else

combat sucks, not enough enemy types, shrines are disappointing, terrible side quests and a lame main story

still the best 3D zelda since WW

Calling Hyrule Castle a dungeon is a fair bit misleading. The whole thing is optional (you can literally just run straight to Ganon) and there is absolutely no form of progression whatsoever. Hell, calling anything in that game a dungeon is laughable.

I wouldn't rule out Nintendo still making traditional LTTP/Ocarina style Zelda games anyway. There are usually two types of Zelda games each generation.

They might remain top down though.

I mean, if you want the same game but with progressively worse dungeons, then be my guest. Breath of the Wild's decision to take the focus off the big dungeons was one of the best things about it.

They should follow the Majora's Mask strategy more often. Reuse some assets and the engine (maybe not quite to the degree as MM because that had to be rushed out before the N64 died) and make a sequel-like game to hold us over during the otherwise 5+ year gap between Zeldas.

I think they'll do a direct sequel to BOTW as well actually. Which they should do for sure. There's a lot more they can do with the formula.

Well it is a game about exploring, and you're doing yourself a major disservice if you do don't actually explore it.

Breath of the Wild was great. I was starting to hate open world games after Fallout 4. Maybe I still do, but Breath of the Wild was certainly a wonderful experience.

Wrong. This is the Zelda I've been wanting to see since the first game. We got pretty close when they released ALBW but this one brings all the best stuff from the original back to us in a really good way.

Skyrim also came out a long time ago. Breath of the Wild made a good attempt, it's entertaining but there's a lot to be desired. I think it was cut a bit for the Wii U.

Far more enemies are needed.

It's the only open world game I've replayed as soon as I finished it in probably a decade.

Like, it's as deep as you make it IMO.

It's not perfect though, either. Those dungeons were awful.

I think if they decided to keep going with the open world approach, they could really make a GOAT.

I feel like there was plenty to do, but there was quite a bit unpolished. I would blame that on the switch to the Switch midway through development. That probably put a full stop to overall development for a good while, and then they were also limited by the Wii U's capacity as well.

I think Skyrim has like 15 or so types floating around (quick count, trying not to count very similar stuff) but Zelda has 9?
