Is Breath of the Wild really that good?

I understand that for a Zelda game it's great. But if you look at it as a next gen game, it isn't. I understand that there are very irritating technical issues, but overall it's good.  I've not played it myself yet, but I from previous Zelda games I'm certain that the quality of the game. So gameplay, story, choices etc this will be a very good game!

Also to have a WII U game on a handheld is a great thing, so maybe some of the critics are more comparing this game as a hybrid (handheld and console) game rather then a next gen console game! Presonally I think that with the Switch the reviewers need to inform very detailed the positive and negative points of the game in Console mode and seperatly in handheld mode. Because I seen already with friends that they said that they were very irrited with the Zelda game in console mode, but in handheld mode they were really very very positive.  

will see for myself when I receive mine

 "I understand that for a Zelda game it's great. But if you look at it as a next gen game, it isn't" 

That is just not true at all. On a graphical standpoint, yes it's not  as refined as a PS4 and One game, of course. But everything else is on par or better than the greatest games of this gen.

You'll see for yourself

I think you are correct. But maybe I should have mentioned, in my opinion of next gen gaming. Which is for me, very good graphics, physics, very stable and high frame rates, much bigger worlds then what is done in current gens etc etc. In that term I don't think this is the case for the new Zelda game, maybe only on the world size it could be on par. But as I tried to make clear, is that important for this type of game? No it isn't, even in the period when the first Zelda game came it was not the best graphical game but I enjoyed the game much more then alsmost all others. (except for Rygar NES edition, which I enjoyed even more )
