Breath of the Wild by a large margin. Not only did it not live up to the hype, but was a mess of poor controls and game design decisions. Worst part was realizing that my favorite franchise was effectively killed off and that the IP would be following this formula from now on.

I'm really sorry to hear this. While I don't agree -- Breath of the Wild is near and dear to me -- I totally appreciate the frustration of losing a beloved formula. I do feel like there's room in the Zelda franchise for a more directed, dungeon-centric approach alongside the free-form emergent design of something like BotW. 

I wouldn't give up hope just yet!

I loved how BotW was thematically something of a callback to the original game while bringing modern game design to the table. They figured out how to take Lynels, the bane of my 10-year-old existence, and make them into absolute bastards in 2017. Loved it.
