it's incredible how good this game looks even by today's standards.
then gunplay is atrocious, but i had fun wacking enemies with the wrench and throwing shit at them with plasmids.
the story is good and all, but fontaine's accent is so funny and stupid that i couldn't take him seriously (and it's best if we dont talk about that boss fight...)

overall, im glad i finally finished this classic.

The ultrahand ability is an apt metaphor for the game: TOTK doesn't actually fix any of the problems with BOTW, it just glues a bunch of new shit on top.

There is an incredible physics system, and they do fuck-all with it. Every non-combat shrine is a physics puzzle for babies. Their lack of trust in the player's ability to reason about a problem is genuinely insulting.

The combat system still sucks. The companion system is a total mess, and every time you get a new party member they tell you the exact same fucking story about the Imprisoning War.

The sky islands are surprisingly sparse, and the depths are just a darker, less interesting version of the main map . The temples are barely an improvement over the divine beasts, and in some ways I actually consider them a step back.

Above all else, the absolute worst thing about this game is the sheer amount of progression and quests locked behind tedious resource farming. Just awful.

Overall, a very flawed follow-up and one I had to force myself to finish. I am a Zelda Hater now
