I'll be honest. The game is only praised and have GOTY awards because it has the Zelda IP. Without it, people will complain the same thing that Ubisoft and Bethesda Open World game suffers from. The Open World is empty, the weapon durability system is an archaic way for the game to be challenging, and the shrines are a joke.

I'll be honest, it's mediocre at best. The story tried to be serious, but one-dimensional characters and ludonarrative dissonance fails to take it serious.

Can get repetitive when you do the same stages with different characters.

It's good but not the best in the series like people think it is.

Personally, the best in the GTA series by far.

It shows it age at some parts, but it's still a solid game.

Better than GTA4 but not a high bar.

It is carried by the story itself. Good multiplayer, though.

People who say this game is good are blind by nostalgia. This game sucks in general.

I failed to see what's so great with this game. The story is a boredom and the gameplay is dull.

It feels like The Last of Us with Uncharted characters in it. The story is boring and dull and the multiplayer is meh.

A disappointment compared to Uncharted 2, but it's still a good sequel.

A big improvement over Drake's Fortune in any way.

Aside from the repetitive waves of enemies, the story is good and so is the gameplay.

Has the best story in the series, though find the gameplay not the best compared to Superstar Saga.
