A comprehensive list of things that Breath of the Wild does well:

[Samus Aran]

Bad game

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Bad game

i expect to see a comprehensive list of things that breath of the wild does well, in your opinion, by tomorrow

[TooB]

It's 80% of your grade

[Kalahari Inkantation]

It's 80% of your grade

i'm still waiting for tec to edit the OP with my answers

[Thyme]

"the lightning" and "the way stuff interacts with stuff" are so insignificant and so vague in the grand scheme of the game that to add them as the only two entries in the comprehensive list of things that breath of the wild does well would only serve to undermine your position if anything, lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

• it's not skyward sword

sure, but it also hardly feels like a zelda game at all lol

• dogs

That you can't even pet or hold.

uh no you add all of them obviously

Here's a good thing imo...

I like Link and Zeldas character designs.

Counterpoint

Zelda kinda sucks
This may be true in many Zelda games, but there are standouts.
I'm just sad this isn't one of them. Also, her voice acting is lame.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

sure, gliding is fun/fast/provides an interesting perspective, but again, travel too fast and you'll likely miss yet another shrine, or yet another korok seed

i genuinely don't understand this one or how it's a fault

you don't have to find them all

Except you do have to find every single shrine.

and imo retreading parts of the map you've already visited to try and find shrines you may have missed is kind of part of the appeal idk, this is what the sheikah detector's for

i guess that isn't so awful but the sheikah sensor's range absolutely sucks

i had to cheat to find the last few undiscovered shrines on my map

I haven't started this yet. Now I'm not sure I even want too.

well don't let me discourage you lol, especially if you're a zelda fan

everyone else seems to absolutely love it, and even i would say it's still entirely worth a playthorugh (and i'm actually still willingly going for 100% completion of both the base game and dlc (against my better judgement) despite all my bitter shrieking about it)

i'm really the odd one out here lol, and i'm really the odd one out here

the near-unanimous consensus, although i personally disagree with it, is still that the game is absolutely amazing and one of (if not the) the best zeldas ever (god even typing that out makes me cringe)

plus after playing it you can submit arguments in its defense to this thread [/spoiler]

I have a tendency to be super critical of the newer Zelda games. Anything beyond MM and Ocarina of Time just weren't what I wanted. Wind Waker was ok but for some reason I didn't like it as well. We shall see.
