I Just finished Zelda TotK and I see A LOT of room to improve (SOME MINOR SPOILERS)

I really appreciate these detailed thoughts on the game. Thanks for sharing your perspective. Also, I'm glad to see another fan who wanted some kind of simulation gameplay related to the reconstruction of Hyrule. I've long been a champion of a BotW spin-off in the style of Little King's Story :)

For me, Tears of the Kingdom is one of the best games of this generation, and among the finest Zelda games. I definitely agree that the reused overworld creates issues, despite Nintendo's valiant attempts to redefine it. I was actually happy with the diversity of enemies, not to mention how hard-hitting many were. This game doesn't pull its punches, that's for sure.

For me, TotK isn't a perfect game, but its good stuff is so phenomenally great that its flaws feel insignificant in comparison.
