  Because of the durability system, I never even used the unique weapons I found because I thought if they broke that they were gone forever

  I kinda hated all the shrines, it got pretty boring looking for all those shrines. sometimes I would walk past a new shrine and just try to avoid it because of how tired I was of doing them.

  Nothing is worse than being enchanted by the beautiful open world, reaching the summit of an almost insurmountable mountain, spotting a shrine in the distance, and realizing it&apos;s yet another bullshit minor test of strength

  The game presents to the player so many intriguing questions, the answer to all of them being, “it’s another shrine.“

  i couldn’t agree more with your point about the ending. I love this game but no matter how hard i try i can’t get past the fact that the game doesn’t let you play in a world where you’ve beaten ganon. it makes everything feel like “what’s the point” you work up all this time for this epic ending, then you do it and it feels great. then you come back to find you’re back outside like it never happened. i absolutely hate that still.

  I&apos;m forcing myself through this game. There&apos;s fun moments and then incredibly tedious and annoying moments that make me not want to play anymore.

  You&apos;ve perfectly articulated my feelings about this game. Only thing I would add is the lack of interesting characters/NPC&apos;s. Other Zelda titles like OoT and MM had unique NPC&apos;s with depth and personality, and interesting things to say. BotW NPC&apos;s are so incredibly boring and cookie cutter, down to the same outfits. It would be cool to be walking through the woods and see a mysterious man or woman who&apos;s NOT dressed like everyone else and who has a backstory with an interesting side quest that isn&apos;t just &quot;fetch me my lost soup spoon and I&apos;ll give you an opal, that latter of which you can easily find by smashing a nearby rock&quot;. This game had such potential to be a truly magical and immersive experience, but it just fell short.<br><br>Good video essay.

  I&apos;d rather have half the map size with 5 high quality dungeons than 100 shrines.

  The problem with &quot;open world&quot; or &quot;open air&quot; games is like when the salt flats of Utah get flooded by rain. At the edge it will look like a giant sea that spreads farther than you can see, but no matter how far you go, you realize that it&apos;s just shallow and not much depth is there no matter where you go.<br><br>It&apos;s boring after the initial awe wears off.

  You said the game tricks you into thinking you’ll discover something new. &nbsp;You’re right there’s really only shrines koroks and weapons that won’t last. &nbsp;The trickery certainly worked on me though. &nbsp;There isn’t a lot of variety beneath the surface.
