Have played.
Doesn't feel like a classic Zelda game. Neither did BotW.
The "crafting" thing is basically two components: one, you can combine anything you find with your equipment to imbue different effects. It's kind of tedious but you can mostly ignore it.
Then there's the construction bit where you can stick a bunch of stuff together to make contraptions like wagons and rafts and hot air balloons. It's mostly ignore-able as well, except in shrines where it's directly related to solving puzzles.
Zelda's voice actress still sucks. And why the fuck do they have her out investigating unknown phenomena? She's a goddamn princess!
Otherwise, if you liked BotW, this feels like more of the same but with islands in the sky and extra puzzles to solve and extra padding. (Made the trek to an observation tower but didn't bring the gear to solve the puzzle to let you in to the tower? Fuck you, have fun making the trek again!)
Also, almost no music. Again.
I'm no weeb, I don't speak Japanese, and I haven't watched anime in years, but I found Zelda's voice actress in BotW so annoying I flipped the game to Japanese voice. Much easier on the ears.
Will they let you do English subs with Jap voices? That'd be ideal.
Yeah. There's so little voiced dialogue anyway, it even works for my youngest who is a slow reader.
Maybe it's because I've only listened to clips due to not having either game myself, but I don't think she's that bad.
Her voice didn't bother me at first, but after watching a cutscene that both features Zelda and repeats fairly often enough times, I'm quite sick of it!
They wanted to make her a tomboy who wears leggings and sneak in ass shots, and I don't blame them.
Eh, she was always an active participant, even as far back as Ocarina of Time, but not like this. And aside from military conflicts, which princesses would not have participated in, the others are nothing like sending your sole heir to the Hylian royal bloodline down into a pit that has weird sickness-causing gaseous ooze coming out of it.
I found it to be contrived and dumb, and I say that as someone whose greatest claim to fame is creating Zelda-related stuff with more than 1 million combined downloads.
How many zelda games from Gamecube onward have you played?
