+ Commitment to open ended, player driven exploration
+ Massive scope of world
+ Creative new tools offer even more freedom
+ Learns from some of BotW's mistakes (more direction, fuse fixes weapon durability system, far better ending sequence)

- Recycled world and elements from BotW take away from the thrill of discovery
- Too much bloat and busywork quests
- Shrines and Divine Beast-style dungeons can't match the satisfaction of classic style dungeons
- Impressive for Switch hardware but still held back technically (frame rate)
