Finally gave BotW a chance and I'm loving it!

I know I'm way late to the party, but I recently picked up Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition and I have to say I am really enjoying it! 

I want to start off by saying I'm not the biggest Zelda fan. I appreciate the series more from the outside. I've played and completed many games from the series, but it's just not one of my favorites from Nintendo. I did however absolutely love Wind Waker. The cel shaded art style reeled me in as soon as I saw it and the game currently sits among my top 5 games of all time. So I do have SOME love for the series!

I gave BotW a shot twice on Switch, once when it first came out and then again years later, but I both times I got about 5+ hours in and eventually got bored and never returned. I was determined to give this game a real shot since it lands on many lists top game of all time. I knew I was doing myself a disservice by not giving it a fair chance.

Switch 2 came out and I downloaded BotW Switch 2 Edition and decided to give it one more go after my time With Mario Kart World. And wouldn't you know it, I got up to the same area about 5+ hours in, but this time DK Bananza took my attention away from it. I swore I would go back to it once I completed DK, but then Hades II came along and that made BotW a distant memory yet again. But I made a promise to myself to return to the land of Hyrule.

I picked up BotW where I left of 5+ hours in after finishing Hades and I was skeptical about not remembering the controls or what I was supposed to do. After a couple hours of wrangling my pro controller and figuring out where I needed to go, I wasn't going to be stopped this time. 

So currently I just got to my 2nd divine beast in Goron City. The open world is truly massive, and the scope is even bigger. Between the behemoth divine beasts and other larger than life characters like the Great Fairy, it all feels so epic! The cut-scenes make this game stand out from other Zeldas and makes the game feel big. I can't believe this was a Switch game, let alone a Wii-U game! I'm excited to continue this journey and I promise I will make it to the end!
