Breath of the Wild is a great game that introduced a lot of people to the Zelda series, especially younger fans that may not have had the opportunity to play the early titles. The game was fun to go through and experience the first time, and the freedom to explore and complete the game at your leisure was nice as well. Despite all this, I felt like the game was missing something for me. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it feels like a Zelda game. There's something about all the enemies only having slightly upgraded versions of themselves, weapons breaking, and going wherever that really takes me away from the Zelda series as a whole. I think people who start with this game will enjoy it a lot, but if you're looking for dungeons to explore and a sizable (but not unreasonable) amount of collectibles to grab, then Breath of the Wild may not necessarily be what you're looking for.
