Meh, I tried reading it. Most of the complaints are complete non issues to me. Less story means more gameplay, and that's always a positive to me. Not like Zelda stories were even that good before.
My favorite part is how "BotW has no charm, character or that 'Zelda magic' ". Beautiful.

The guy is scared because the games from his childhood are being outdone by Breath of the Wild. A guy in his 20s who puts a strong emphasis on Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker in his comparisons.

It's a given that it will win numerous game of the year awards considering the love affair the press has with this game. This has even prompted Nintendo themselves to suggest all Zelda games going forward will be "open-air" like Breath of the Wild. Enough.

The poor little fuck.  I feel lucky to not suffer from the bitterness half of nostalgia.  Enjoy the classics, respect them even.  But know when their time has passed and they've been dethroned.  It's a good thing!
