Still haven't played the game, but everytime I see or read about it I feel exactly the same way. Good to know I'm not alone in this though, I felt like an alien seeing everyone praise the game and basically no one noticing/caring about how much they changed the formula. I get that they wanted to modernize it, but they really went overboard with it imo, feels like a new IP with Zelda slapped on top =P

Oh but everyone noticed/cared about how much they changed the formula. That's the reason it got praised as much as it did.

I'll be honest I didn't know how stale the formula truly was, and it took me some time to fully embrace Breath of the Wild, but now going back to play the older games - even Skyward Sword, which used to be my favorite - just feels so awful. They're just... worse.

Then again you like collectathon platformers, so I assume a massive departure from the formula isn't something that'll entice you.

I generally prefer the more focused-type ones like the 3D Mario games, Psychonauts, etc, but nowadays I'll take what I can get lol. You're on point about the second part though, I never asked for a Zelda game that's completely different from the ones I liked, nor do I care about survival elements like cooking/weather/etc that for me, personally, just bloats the game. I just wanted to cut grass and find rupees and hearts lying around and do cool dungeons and stuff. I wouldn't be so salty about it if there were other franchises that I could go to, but the 3D Zelda formula was pretty much exclusive to those games.
