Awesome game! Never really into video games before I played this, I started out horrible at it but progressively got so much better, and I can see the progress!
Let me just add, most of the one star reviews marked it down because of either-
The weapon deterioration
Too hard
Boring
Flat characters
Well, the weapon deterioration is a big piece of the game mechanics, and you kinda get used to it. It's fun to hunt down new weapons and defeat enemies in new ways.
Second, if it's too hard, keep trying. Like I said above, I started out horrible.
Third, this game is anything but boring. I have over 200 hours and am still amazed at all the things to do. Go explore.
Last, the characters may not be as in depth as other characters in the Zelda franchise, but dang, Zelda has some serious development throughout the memories. Rewatch them.
