Who’s playing it? What do you think? I play it a lot with my girlfriend (we got it one week after the release date). It’s definitely interesting because there’s so much overlap with Breath of the Wild (the main landscapes, many NPCs, the overall gameplay, etc.) but with many new mechanics (crafting, building vehicles, some new collectibles) and a more emotional/complex storyline. But it also feels a bit like a drag sometimes, because there’s so much to do and discover! And there isn’t always a clear path about what to do next.

Anyway, curious to hear your thoughts!

    I like it so far. But I’m still in the very beginning, just discovering the new abilities. Which are awesome so far. Especially because I avoided (and still do) any video of the game.

    And it finally pushed me to finish BotW. Because there was always “one last thing” to do before I would go to the castle.

    The single negative aspect so far: they kept that horribly fast weapon breaking… I really hate it when games do that. It dempends my excitement when finding a new weapon.

      I agree with the quick breaking of equipment! I’d also appreciate if I could use weapons and shields longer before they break. In general, there’s lots of management going on because the equipment slots are also very limited (at least in the beginning) – But at least it’s easier to drop things on demand when opening a chest now!

    It’s a blast! It’s better than BOTW in every single way, the map and adventure feel completely flesh despite being the “same map”, the new abilities are great! I can see this being a great game to help kids develop their creativity.

    Having lots of fun with it, trying to do as many shrines and side quests as I can before I finish the main story since I lost the motivation to do that after beating BotW.

    60 hours in, haven’t even visited all the towers yet, only done 1 temple. There’s just SO MUCH STUFF! Absolutely crazy game.

    I love it.

    I’m well along the plot, and have been poking around. Finished the Lomei labyrinths last night and got a most bodacious set of armor for my trouble. Not upgradeable, but it has its perks!
