Definitely one of the best in the Zelda series. While not my favorite one, it's undeniable that this is an amazing and wonderful game.
Open worlds are not really my type of game, I honestly prefer when they're mostly linear and story focused. But they really hit the nail with this one. The exploring is great! There's always something on the horizon to pick your interest, be it a nice looking mountain, the distant glown of a shrine or simply... a lonely standing tree. If you notice something 'odd' and take the time to investigate, most probably you'll be rewarded.
I wish the flashback memories were given through the game, after completing the divine beats, because I almost missed them! I completely forgot about this quest and just remembered to do it because a friend asked me if I liked them. You can imagine my surprise (I had completely forgot that they existed). And they were SO GOOD. I even teared up during 2 scenes.
I guess the only bad stuff I can say is that they kinda lost me with TOO MUCH to do on the map. I mean, do we REALLY need 900 koroks? Come on. And I also think that 120 shrines were a bit too much. (Did the shrines. Will NOT do the Koroks, no ma'am.)
This was a great adventure that will for sure stay in my memories, and make me want even more a mostly narrative driven zelda game.
* While I did not buy the DLC, 'cause I thought it wasn't worth the price, I did watch the memories scenes on youtube and they are GREAT. Please go watch them if you haven't!
