let's take out everything that made the zelda games so loved (amazing music, unique dungeons, fun enemies and bosses, cool equipment) and replace it with a barren wasteland of an open world thats filled with the exact same mini-dungeons that get boring after like the fourth time you do them, and populated with the same 3 types of enemies. the exploring gets so boring so fast, because it's just the shrines, korok seeds and towers, that are all the same. even the rare unique puzzles just open up another shrine when you complete them

there's no incentive to exploring either, cause your only rewards are health/stamina and ocassionally a rare weapon/armor - but those dont matter, because weapons break after like 4 hits and theres no way to fix them, so your best bet is to just avoid combat altogether.

also, lets make it rain every 10 minutes to to make the best part of the game (the climbing) stop working

honest to god dont understand how people gave it 10/10s

    I haven't played Breath of the Wild but this aspect reminds me of the very worst thing about Oblivion: those fucking gates dungeons you have to do to close gates. All of them almost identical, so boring.

      I actually started enjoying those when I realized the secret to them: leave literally every single item and piece of equipment at home, then streak through them dodging enemies like they're security at a football game. You could clear each one in under two minutes if you knew the layout, all without fighting any of the bullshit enemies along the way.

        I remember one playthrough i did where i didn't want to do the bruma gate, so i grabbed all of the speed boosting gear that i could, drank a bunch of skooma, and zoomed through it in a few minutes. My statue in Bruma looked fucking ridiculous and i laughed everytime i passed it afterwards.

      I once did a play through where I tried to close all of them. I think you can do like 50 of them. I ended up doing 30 or so and just giving up because they were so repetitive. By the end I was just running through them as fast as possible
