Having a lot of fun, so far, but the appeal of BotW has certainly worn off a bit, and I'm kinda hoping we can just get a normal Zelda game again (or at least something closer to that).

Building vehicles works WAY better here than it does in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. It is actually fun and quick in this game, rather than tedious and frustrating.

I don't like that they leaned in to the story aspects of BotW. The story was EASILY the weakest part of that game, but the best thing about its story was you could leave everything pretty vague. For this world, I think that fits a lot better. Tears of the Kingdom doesn't seem to think so.

I still don't think voice acting works in Zelda. It doesn't add anything, and the English voice acting is mostly really bad. It just makes Zelda feel a bit more like every other lame, generic JRPG.

And I'm still pissed that there's no Midna. You mean to tell me you can put fucking Hestu in more than one main series Zelda game, but the coolest character in the series can never come back in some reimagined form? Fuck off.
