Former BotW hater here. Holy shit, I get it now. This is practically a perfect game. No game has ever let me have this much freedom, and its perfect for that. Sure, it has its faults and hiccups, but with what is offered here, none of the faults matter. Weapon durability is balanced well to force some diversity, the DLC is excellently done, and the open world is like no other. There's so much love put into this everywhere, and my only complaint is that I didn't try to commit to this sooner.
