Just recently beat Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Took awhile, granted I did a lot of the shrines, quests, etc. Not exactly sure what to think of it. It just didn't resonate to me like A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, or Twilight Princess, my favorites in the franchise. Also the difficulty caught me off guard. The game definitely starts out rough in the beginning, but it gets easier once you've upgraded your gear/armor and runes (perhaps a bit too easy by then).
Some of the puzzles as well were certainly not intuitive unlike in previous games. For example, when I was trying to get to the last terminal in the Lizard Divine Beast/dungeon, I first thought. Hmm, maybe I have to go outside first to get in. Checked to see if that was possible, turned out it wasn't. Then I noticed a torch through a hole in the door and then thought no. I can't just use a fire arrow to open this door. Tried that, and not surprisingly it didn't work because all the other torches in the dungeon were lit up by blue torches. So by pretty much pure accident (something that happened quite a bit during my playthrough), I had my bow and arrow equipped and walked over to a torch with a blue flame, and suddenly my arrows had blue flames on them. This still makes me shakes my head thinking about it. Like, how was I suppose to guess that would work? Like I said, definitely not the easiest installment in the franchise, but I suppose that's ok.
Going to continue my brief start on Metroid Dread next.
