TotK really makes Switch feel dated

I think TotK has a good combat system in that it is possible to play the game by just button mashing, but it is also possible to engage in battle more strategically. So you can kind of do it however you want, and switch back and forth based on what you feel like doing at the time.

I do wish there was a better ranged combat option. The bow, at least so far, is really only usable from pretty close up.

Mashing in TOTK is not a good idea tbh as while you can do it the result is you getting killed over and over as anything more than a base level Bokoblin does insane damage as in like seven to eight hearts of damage minimum and they have a tendency to tank hits so trying to stagger them with mashing is not consistent. Strategic approach to combat is really a must especially against groups as Link's defence took a severe nerf in TOTK. 

Well, I button mash probably 60% of the time.  Seems to be working pretty well for me.  For what I expect to be tough battles, I fight more strategically.
