Botw it was my first zelda game I played, never expected myself to enjoy the game that much.

    I got pretty annoyed at the chorus of “People only say they like it because of the Zelda title”. I hadn’t cared about Zelda for decades at that point. It was just a well-done, well-paced open world game that I found myself openly devoting dozens of hours to.

    There's a bunch of Zelda fan camps as I see it. One of them only wants more OOT design philosophy* clones with a handful of bigger elaborate dungeons with mostly linear progression and are worried Nintendo will never return to that blueprint after the success of BOTW/TOTK is what I gather. One of my friends is in that camp but he's mature enough to admit open world Zelda is good just not for him.

    I came here looking for this answer. I'm actually replaying it right now on my Steam Deck via Cemu and having a ton of fun. It was also my first Zelda game and I had zero expectations. It just blew me away and it still does all these years later.
