Okay, I’ve played plenty of Breath of the Wild by now and…wait for it… I can’t say it’s my favorite Zelda game.
It’s sooo different from the other games. I know people who complain about previous 3D Zeldas being too formulaic, but because this Zelda game so different in style, scope, and difficulty, et al., that comparing Breath of the Wild to Twilight Princess or Wind Waker is almost completely unfair. It’s almost a completely different genre of game.
I think I know what my issue is: I haven’t been doing much of the story. I’ve been doing as much of the main quests as I needed to, and then wandered off on a personal quest to activate all of the towers, or get enough supplies to purchase ancient armor, or [insert another random activity].
When I get into the story missions, the story and the dialogue are fantastic.
