Yeah, I have my issues with it as well. I don't find it to be the "masterpiece" that everyone else says it is. The story isn't as good as previous entries, since it's mostly told through flashbacks. It was fine at first, but then I slowly came to the realization that there's nothing more. The dungeons are lackluster, and there are only four of them in the game. Majora's Mask had four dungeons as well, but at least they were more complex and had their own themes. Just like other open world games, BotW suffers from emptiness. Vast empty fields of grass are scattered throughout Hyrule. Also, the music was pretty disappointing. Every previous mainline Zelda game had plenty of memorable and epic themes, while the only ones in BotW that left an impression on me was the Hyrule Castle theme and Daruk's theme.
Despite my criticisms, I still think the game is fantastic. I spent well over 150 hours during my first playthrough. I just don't think it's the best in the series, or the best game ever made. I don't even think it's the best game on the Switch (I personally prefer Mario Odyssey). Though, it's certainly a breath of fresh air after Nintendo's reliance on the previous formula. I'm really looking forward to the sequel since it has so much potential to be better. I have no doubt it'll be a true masterpiece if it improves upon BotW's issues.
