I was totally ready to hate ALBW; as far as I'm concerned Nintendo haven't made a great Zelda game since Minish Cap in 2004 (damn where does the time go?). Poor form for almost a decade coupled with how ALBW looks makes everything look like it's made of cheap plastic seemed like a surefire failure.
But it's actually very very good! It gives you that real sense of freedom and adventure that I thought had lost the series forever. The puzzles feel recycled and it's way too easy, but it has that Zelda magic that's been absent for way too long. It's hard to quantify what they've done to make it feel fresh (the item rental system definitely helped), whatever it was though, they nailed it.
Let's hope they can do the same thing with the Wii U's Zelda.
