Is Breath of the Wild really that good?

Don't write things off as just trolls. From the honest reviews i've seen, what happens is that the game became a typical open world game. Light on story, open ended and with repetitive tasks.

I myself am a bit burned out of that type of game. I don't dislike them if i'm on the right mood, but it can get quite pointless and boring.
I am pretty sure that the highest scores are not honest, if not only for the technical issues. But it certainly isn't a game as revolutionary as Ocarina of time. Whoever tells you that is just trying too hard.

Agreed with this statement, while the game is truly amazing in my opinion it doesn't really do anything new or unique; is just extremely well done and better than other open world games in my opinion.

The physics system is quite developed, and not just for an open-world game, but games in general. That is new and unique.

 

Plus the integration in horse taming, cooking mechanics, etc are based more closely on real-world intuition and logic than most games.

 

The non-linear main story is a mainstay from 2D Zelda games, but besides Dark Souls very few series implement this.

 

All together, I think the game is more revolutionary than the standard evolution from 2D to 3D that was going to happen anyway, regardless of whether or not TLoZ accomplished it
