You could have put any sprites in this game and it would be 10/10, it didn't need to be Zelda, in fact, it could well have been a completely new series if they had wished. I enjoyed it so much, but can definitely see why not being a Mega fan of the series or having expectations helped the playing experience be "free" In fact i think that freedom and the feeling of being alone and navagating this big world is what makes the game so special.

I agree with this fully. If i had never played the series/ if it were a new IP, or more over if it wasnt my FAVORITEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE these wouldn't be issues for me. But there are aspect that i really look foraard to and love.

For me this will be game of the year, and thats awesome. Im having a great time with it. I was hoping for GOAT. Its a high bench mark.

I think making a sandbox the way they did is awesome and i hope they can do this again (even though non-hyrule zeldas have never sold well.) I just dont know why we need to choose between sandbox and zelda style progression. I think they would marry well...

Also the lack of score is probably a good thing due to it being a sandbox but...RIP Zelda scores
