10/10 Well done, I would read it again.

I don't want to be telling this a lot so I don't look like an idiot if the game turns to be just good, but honestly I had the exact same feeling, I really think this one could do it, in my case I think this could even dethrone Wind Waker, wich is my personal favourite and it even looks kind of similar in some ways. Just better and way more innovative for the saga.

I'm going to really make a conscious effort to be less pessimistic from now on. I have wallowed in it for far too long, and it's not healthy.

I may not be able to get rid of my fears, but I guess I can try to hold back from expressing them all the time.

I think what really gives Breath of the Wild the potential to be a new highpoint for the series is that it really feels like they've thrown out the rulebook and are no longer adhering to the conventions that made games like Skyward and Twilight, as excellent as they were, rather predictable. The series now has a chance to grow and explore new territory, and it seems they're taking full advantage of the opportunity.

You dont have to repress your pessimistic thoughts just as much as you dont have to repress your good ones. 

The feeling I got seeing the gameplay was surprising, is like a completely new thing, people would say is just another Zelda because is called like that, but this is radically diferent from anything in the saga ever, this is kind of like mixing the concept of the very first Zelda with a suprisingly modern open world design that is clearly inspired by some of the most dinstictive western open worlds, kind of like a middlepoint between something like Skyrim and Far Cry but with Zelda essence and the always particular Nintendo Style. This is really breaking the stablished formula of Zelda while going to the roots at the same time, and it breaks it in so many ways that it makes me exciting as hell to see what the game has to offer me, more than any recent Zelda.
