Nintendo missed the mark on this. I used to get excited to explore new areas, figure out the puzzles, and meet the characters. I've completely lost interest in this one. I could care less what the characters have to say other than the quest info, the visuals are boring and repetitive, the puzzle shrines aren't bad, the combat ones are "meh". The controls work fine and the ability to access stuff is fine. The additional areas were a good idea, but again...repetitive. The new tools were good. The breaking tools are still ridiculous. That falls into the repetitive thing too. Still miss that hookshot though.
Way too easy to die in the beginning. A ton of one hit and your dead enemies. I get it if you head into an area you aren't ready for, but right away, when you only have 3 hearts is ridiculous.
I was excited to see what they had in store for this one and I was seriously let down. After all these years, I'm probably with this series. It's sad, because I used to look forward to these. Sorry Nintendo...thumbs down. 👎
