I did not like this game very much at first. I didn't hate it, but I walked away feeling disappointed.
If the first game was a folk song, this game is a bloated opera. It's trying to make some kind of grand statement about cycles of violence, but it does it in such a manipulative way. Remember brutally stabbing that dog that ends up being a cute pet later on? Yeah, that kind of stuff just didn't work for me.

The 2018 game was one of the best reboot/sequels of all time, and this is very much an iterative sequel in every sense of the word. But, within that context, it's just about as good as I hoped it would be.
My only real complaint is that the shackles of the PS4 can be felt everywhere. Yes, it looks and runs amazingly well on PS5, but this is really a PS4 game pushed to the absolute limit. Take a shot every time you have to shimmy through a crack in a wall to hide a load time and you'll be trashed in 10 minutes.

What more needs to be said? This game is the nearest thing to delivering on the promise of open adventure the original Zelda planted into our collective heads back in 1986. There are bigger and 'denser' open worlds, but no other game comes close to the sense of discovery and mystery that this game provides.
