The 3D Zelda's have never quite clicked for me. I think it may be the control scheme, but whatever it is it has stopped me from really getting into it. This seems like a big improvement in that regard. I like the addition of stuff like weapon durability and the fast pace of loot. It definitely seems more westernised this time around.
I like the art style, and I can't wait to see how it looks on NX.
I agree that it still feels unnecessarily spread out right now. In the stream, they keep saying that wherever you go you find something, but apples on trees is not something I would consider a worthy reward for 'exploring' another area. I will hold judgement though, considering this is the opening area and there seems to be a lot happening in the distance. I hope they show a town soon.
Looks really good so far, but I can't help compare it to other, similar games. It looks better than Scalebound, but not as good as Horizon or The Witcher. But whatever, I get them all anyway, can't wait to see more.
