For as many hours as I've put into the game (around 40 and still not finished it), I've never been able to grasp how it got such a high meta, why people love it so much, or why it's selling as well as it is... I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I just don't get the same feeling everyone else seems to get, it doesn't feel like a masterpiece or one of the greatest games ever made or whatever, and I really hope the success of this game doesn't lead them to create future Zelda games using the same style and formula... hopefully they won't since the Zelda games are actually rather varied in terms of style and gameplay anyway, just hoping for something more like Wind Waker in the future, lol.

We all have our own preferences, of course.  BotW was by far my favorite Zelda game.  But, with as varied as the series is, I can certainly understand why fans of some other Zelda games might not care for it.  On the flipside, I don't really care for OoT, which most people rave about.  At the end of the day, games are art.  And, appreciation of art is very personal and subjective. 

As for Zelda games going forward, I expect that they'll continue to make top-down games.  I expect that one of the next two Zelda games will be BotW style.  Probably the next one, since this one has been so huge.  But, I doubt they'll go more than one more BotW-style before we see a more classic style Zelda.
