To fully write down my feelings on this game I would have to dedicate time I do not have so let me simply say this. As of right now, I believe BOTW is the best open-world game ever and one of my favorite games period. Exploration is the name of the game and my central reasoning for feeling this way. That's why it's jarring to have dungeons (or shrines in this case) and combat that feel amateur in comparison. Even with its many blemishes I still maintained a baseline level of enjoyment even through its weakest moments. In many ways, it is that masterpiece that many believe it to be and I am frothing at the mouth for the sequel.
