You can't drop the stamine and weapon degredation systems critique just because of the humour that he tied to them. He clearly explains how they took away from his experience and how they add a negative diffculty layer which forces the player to complete more shrines. 

To add what i was saying he critiques the difficulty of the combat, the "ubisoft" towers, some weather elements, and that he found the shrine element to be a grind. 

You're acting like a butthurt child, just because you disgaree doesn't mean he is wrong. 

I agree with some of his points regarding the degredation system and the combat, people forget that personal taste is part of reviews, and all the ass kissing BOTW has gotten since launch makes people forget that. 

First, nobody is kissing BotW ass. Weapons are all over Hyrule. If there's a problem is space to save those. Secondly, zero stamina problems. You can climb Twin Peaks with the initial stamina ring. No need to upgrade to reach explore Hyrule. And that is one of the highest peaks in the game. Again, there's already a succesful speedrun.

Three negative reviews without anything going in the 80s is a very rare sight. 

His critique was that unlike other rpgs, once you get the cool loot you get to keep it, instead of it breaking,  that is still a valid point.

Third, there's nothing difficult in combat. You can kill guardians parrying the laser with pot shields. Lynels are hard but flurry rush make it easier. Add in there buffs from cocking and even less problems.

His criqute regarding the difficulty has to do with the amount of damage enemies do, which forces you to get more health, instead of just being better.

About Ubisoft Towers, hopefully he is consisten that every game with a tower is a Ubisoft game. Lastly the weather system, especially rain, can be a problem for climbing and I agree.

You can disagree with his critiques, but he isn't plain out wrong, everyone has their own niches.

Before you call me a butthurt child, you should try to ask in the first place what is my opinion in the game, because is nowhere need to be my best Zelda game.

It doesn't matter if it's you're favourite or wrong, you dismissed his claims because of the style of his review, and outright called his other points wrong without even knowing them, that is childish.

Overall i think his score in conjecture with his points is overblown, but it doesn't make his criticism false.

In bold.
