I've been watching my older son (12) playing BotW for last 4-5 days. He's been to Impa, found 3 memories and curently decidng witch Divine Beast to tackle first, So far he likes the game, though several things annoy him:
- he hates rain and especially lighting since it doesn't behave like in RL
- weapon breaking...so much that, so far, he only uses bombs to fight enemies and no amount of trying to persuade him to practice combat on easier enemies can change his mind - he's "saving them for bosses"
- Blood Moon enemy respawning
- gyro puzzles
Honestly, I was bit surprsied he wants to play BotW, although he liked previous Zeldas quite a bit, but he usually likes to watch me playing (except for 2D Zeldas, which he played by himself), but so far he's enjoying it.
On the other hand my younger son (10) is opposite - he really likes 3D Zeldas and played them on his own, but got bored of BotW fairly quickly - which is surprising, I thought he would like it given that he's really into Minecraft and ARK - I'm not sure, maybe it's my influence, he heard me several times in the past talking about flaws of modern open-world games (before BotW even released) and even asked me to try Gothic 2 and Morrowind, which I let him, but he's still too young to play them through on his own.
He still fires BotW up on ocassion to mess around a bit, but no so much in last few months.
Anyway, just few of my observations...
