For additional context to CD’s score: As revealed in IGN’s (nonfinalized) review, apparently there was some aggressive patchwork done after review copies had been sent out. There was a patch that wiped all save data, which… yeah. Not a great way to leave a good impression with review outlets: I know for a fact had I been told after playing 7hr of TotK that all my save data was going to be wiped and I would need to restart, my opinion of the game would have cratered.
