A beautiful game, and incredibly polished. This is probably the first game in the series that wouldn't alienate modern audiences.
That being said, it was much too easy. I beat the game without dying (although I did need bottled fairies a couple of times), and I didn't feel particularly accomplished for having completed any part of it.
As a result, I had to find my enjoyment less in the combat and more in the world. Solving mysteries and problems around the world is at times tedious, but most often fun.
All this said, despite some quibbles, I love this game for all of the ways it changes the Zelda formula: the new art style, the story, and the open world.
