You do realize that you're creating work-arounds for what others consider to be annoyances, right? The fact that you can work around it, or tolerate it, doesn't mean it's that tolerable to others, or that the work arounds make it less annoying.

Imagine if someone but a giant boulder in front of your front door that allowed you to only open the door a foot. When you complain about it, they say, "welll you can still squeeze through the door, or you can take your door off it's hinges and hop over the boulder, or you could you could just use the door on the back of your house. It's really not a problem having that boulder there if you think about it" I'm pretty sure you'd still prefer to have the boulder removed so you can use the door the way you'd like without the work arounds.

You realize that it's only an optimization for the gameplay I use. You can run as fast as you always could do in Zelda just by moving your stick completely to the border instead of just moving it a little from center. The option to run is actually added, so that you can even be faster than in earlier games. You also don't realize, that the main point of wonder is, that many people assume you have to stop and stand still to replenish stamina.

But you have all freedom to complain that you can be faster than in previous Zelda games, you can complain that you're too slow, you can complain that fast-running eats up a resource. If you dislike games with that mechanic, you shouldn't force yourself to Monster Hunter or Souls or BotW. It's free to you.

And you can keep on making fun of other peoples opinion by completely ridiculous comparisons. All that shows is that you're bitter some peeople are enjoying a game.

Who said anything about stopping to recover stamina? When has that ever been mentioned by anyone besides you? Why does it matter that you can run faster now? That's totally irrelevant. No is is complaining about his speed, just that running is arbitrarily hampered for no good reason. And besides, why does the stamina meter only kick in when you're running? What is it about running that makes Link practically shit his pants after about five seconds while he can literally jog for days? This is supposed to be less annoying to me? Okay.

I haven't made fun of anyone's opinion, thanks. Here you are practically labelling someone who disagrees with you as a "hater". Why on earth would I be bitter that people are enjoying this game? That doesn't make any sense at all.  I have no problem that some people think that BorW is the greatest game ever. What I do have a problem with is people having a mental breakdown when someone has valid criticisms of the game. Despite the reviews, this game is far from perfect, and it's good that others are acknowledging that.
