best Zelda ever & one of the best games ever. this is more of a new game masquerading as a sequel than people give it credit for. (check the new facial animations on npc's for instance- most probably dont even notice). the fuse mechanic is the best new zelda mechanic in ages and def the best mechanic introduced during the switch era, (all due respect to zonai). also, the game is just so epic.. starts strong, finishes strong. best zelda dungeon ever too with the dragonhead isle quest/dungeon. love the Mayan influence in the game. also, the sheer amount of situational dialogue in the game is absurd. absolute masterpiece. kinda impossible to follow up one of the best games ever, but the zelda team pulled it off. playing w headphones is a must. Love that main theme that is kinda only found in a trailer and in the credits. so, so good. the people who think botw is better only like their experience of hyrule for the first time better, because this game is better in every way.. from boss fights to mechanics- everything. also, zero gravity is endlessly fun. my only gripes are that i wish they switched up the korok seed mechanic and the depths are a bit samey, but i get that it is kinda a resource area. still feels like they might have missed out on an opportunity to introduce a new race or at least have a cool village down there or something. and im not thrilled w the yiga clan stuff, but didnt enjoy them in botw either. none of this stuff nerfs the greatness of the game tho. cant think of a game with more content. that shrine where you end up driving up a river is one of my most satisfying moments in gaming. <3
