If you beat Malenia with a mimic tear or spells... no you didn't, go back and do that shit like an adult.

Joking aside this game does what I thought to be nearly impossible - it makes a truly open game with (relatively) minimal repetition, amazing level design, and consistently engaging content, all while not completely fucking over the balancing. Art direction is dope as always, enemies are goddamn hell-fucks as always, and this has some insanely fun boss fights. Is the game perfect? Fuck no, but there are so many hours worth of amazing content within this game, that it feels a bit wrong to not give it a 5. BOTW 2 better do something crazy because it's boutta feel DRY AS SHIT after Elden Ring. The existence of this game should yeet BOTW from every "best of" list from here on out.
