Breath of the Wild is a great game, but a not-so-great Zelda experience (Mild spoilers)

I think the problems with Zelda began after Majora’s Mask. IMO, Breath of the Wild is the first great Zelda experience since the N64. Judging the game as “not a great Zelda” because it is NOT another derivative of Ocarina of Time seems a little bit silly. OoT was great in 1998, but Nintendo hasn’t been able to improve on it; it’s 20 years later. Breath of the Wild finally got the franchise out of its 16 year slump, and put it back on top.

Open world is where Zelda belongs for the foreseeable future. Another locked down linear dungeon focused derivative of Ocarina of Time would be backwards.
