The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Well, it's a console Zelda, so I had to give in eventually. And I know these days everybody's into these open-world games where you can wander aimlessly and clog your inventory with whatever's lying around, but... that's NOT what I want to be doing when I pick up a Zelda game. I know I'm early on (mainly because I don't know where I'm supposed to go, if anywhere) but so far, I am not impressed...

    I don't like open-worlds either but give the game a chance; can't fully enjoy it if you're only at the very beginning. This is nothing. Can't possibly have any legit arguments, at this point. The gameplay reminds me a lot of Darksiders II, on this matter. As long as it wasn't "hack 'n' slash", I was fine by it.

    More of a bad feeling/impression of the kind of thing it's going for than an objective opinion. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though.

    For however much I've been enjoying Breath of the Wild, I do have to admit that it does feel very un-Zelda in places. Granted, most of my favorite Zelda games (Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening, and Zelda II being the most prominent examples) also follow that example, and innovation is the first thing I look for in each new Zelda title since the series is so good at it, but I do feel like Breath...

    ...of the Wild lost it's Zelda essence here and there while focusing on incorporating ideas from other popular genres and titles. I do like how they kept trying new things with Breath of the Wild, at least, though. To once again make poor Twilight Princess sound worse than I actually think it is, that beats just rehashing Ocarina of Time, even if it's not perfect.

    Seems like recent Zeldas have had Nintendo repeatedly saying 'THIS is the one that'll break the old formula!' only for it to be the same old thing, often with a new twist, good or not. ...I kinda hoped they would never succeed in actually breaking the formula. Skyward Sword's worlds were a little too constrained and linear for my taste, but going TOO far the other direction would be no better...
