Nintendo managed to make an open world action-adventure more tedious than a turn based cRPG

Get your downvote ready everyone, I haven't played the new Zelda but I did play and beat botw and it was just okay for me. I found it to be very over rated. It's not even close to my top 10.

I definitely had to push to finish the game

Have no desire to touch Total if I’m being honest.

TotK makes BotW feel like an unfinished Beta. This is coming from someone who didnt complete BotW but beat TotK with all shrines and such. The fact that you can make a custom airbike and even use it in some dungeons makes all the difference, IMO.

There's a bike in BotW... You just have to beat everything a super hard optional boss to get it! Oh, and it's not an air bike.

Tears of the Kingdom is a lot better, from someone who also thought Breath of the Wild was overrated.

I thought BOTW was a glorified tech demo and TOTK was a proper game using the same engine.

I still didn't get completely hooked, but it was a big step forward in terms of not being completely devoid of anything to do.
