I wouldn't care how linear this game is if it wasn't so BORING. My god, I never thought I could ever be bored playing a Zelda game, yet here we are. Who asked for a game explaining the origin of Hyrule? Or Ganon? Or the fucking Master Sword? It doesn't ruin anything (honestly the lore/timeline of the Zelda games holds as much weight as the timeline of the old Tom & Jerry cartoons for me, which is to say none at all), but it's just a massive waste of time.
