I don't have a Switch anymore, but when I did I tried BOTW. I thought it was a fun game for what it was trying to be, but it definitely did not make me feel like I was playing a Legend of Zelda game, which is kind of what I'm looking for when I play a Legend of Zelda game.
I think it's like a popular unpopular opinion. If you voice it in many places the Zelda fan boys will swarm like locusts to tear your thoughts down. It took me a long time to get into that game. I honestly have no idea why I ended up giving it so much time to get my attention. I'll get this one eventually, but it's low on the priority list. I just beat BOTW in the spring of this year as it is.
If they want an earlier purchase from me, they need to make a more linear game. Still, I rarely buy things near launch.
I found it tiring until I got into the rhythm of things. Then it became something like popcorn: kept me busy while watching a stream on a second monitor. It is the only AAA game I would have bought in recent years. By extension, ToTK is also good enough for what it is.
I thought I was the only one that found BOTW to be boring
I think the gameplay is fun, but someone else on here was completely correct in saying it isn’t Zelda.
