I tried so many times but I cannot find the motivation to finish this. Believe me, I tried. Zelda is one of my favorite game series and I've played every single title to completion at least once, many of them several times. But I was lukewarm on BOTW, and TOTK straight up feels like DLC. It's a really big expansion pack that adds a bunch of shit to BOTW, but the new shit is only interesting in isolation and none of it adds up to a cohesive experience. The story sucks, gameplay is repetitive, the shrines are somewhat better than BOTW but they're braindead easy, the map is essentially the same except for some random floating rocks and an empty dark underground that I felt no incentive to explore, you've seen and done it all before in BOTW. The worst thing for me is the dungeons. The content leading up to each one is fantastic, but the dungeons themselves are somehow even worse than the barebones BOTW dungeons. I legit feel gaslit by the praise for this game, and I feel sad thinking about the future of the series.
