Solid game that's left lacking as a result of the "Zelda" branding. It's a vast departure for the series that mostly works, but not always.

Biggest issue with the game is the weapon and armor systems. The scaling and durability system lead to situations where the world is not truly open.

I had some incredible moments exploring the world, but wasn't left overly impressed by the game overall. Maybe the sequel will knock it out of the park!
