Fantastic sequel to Breath of the Wild that may not be as big of an advancement for the series but more than makes up for that with careful expansion and polish.
+ new crafting ability that enables countless different playstyles
+ large new areas and noticeable changes to old environments like a population increase making the world appear fresh
+ even better soundtrack especially for daunting moods
+ decent main story featuring some poignant character writing
+ more items, enemies, etc. to engage with
+ better-designed (combat) shrines
+ optional companions reducing solitude and helping in battle (with clunky abilities)
- a few writing inconsistencies (disappearance of previous technology, existence of sky islands, main villain)
- lower sense of adventure due to ease of travel
- slightly disappointing sky islands beyond the tutorial
- still generally poor side content rewards
- no effective revision of the weapon breaking system
- more traditional but still lacking dungeons that are laced with repetitive design choices and unneeded cutscenes
